I guess you used to skip the Intros to the cartoon where:
A-The chorus sings "A real AMERICAN Hero" B-The voice-over guy says "G.I.Joe is the code name for AMERICA'S daring,highly trained special mission force..." C- At the end, the Joes stand in front of a giant AMERICAN flag. I'm sure there are lots of AMERICA reference in the episodes also.Just don't have time now to look for them.Besides, this movie was supposed to be based on the comics.You'll probably say that the comics didn't mention them being American also. |

that is the mentality that has weakened America. We spend to much time trying to appease the world, go as far as changing our traditonal beliefs and ways in order to please everyone else. That is why other countries call us weak, we have no backbone and are afraid of offending even terrorists.
WE need to stop and make it about us, and this movie needed to be about us. long live the United States of America and G.I. JOE, A Real American Hero!! Last edited by Immortal_Joker; 07-30-2009 at 08:02 PM.. |

so, what would have been different about the cartoon had they never mentioned the word American? the stories, characters and overall theme would have been the same. your claim is that it directly influenced the execution of the cartoon and how it was received. please explain.
By the why,if you look at the top banner of this site it reads G.I.Joe:A Real American Hero with red, white and blue stars...maybe the cartoon and the American theme had something to do with this. Also, watch the episode where some sleazy business guy is trying to sell Alaska and the Joes are trying to prevent it from happening...why, because they are defending AMERICAN soil. |

I have come to really hate gunslingercbr...dood you conflict with people just to do it. Do you got a girl? Every single time I post something, you must try to knock me.
all of a sudden it's " it's their money they can do what they want"....what a pathetic response. It's obvious you start crap with people on here because you got nothing better to do. Now I have to fund a movie in order to have an opinion on it? you serious man? There is no way you have a girl...no way. What is the obsession with me?

I think what people are not getting is yes it is a "toy", but it stands for something bigger. It's almost a small symbol of what our country once was, and why is it so wrong to be proud of it and the things it spawns? the U.S.A. is the best country in the world, but there are people on this board who think otherwise.

the only reason you hate him is because he can make a valid argument/debate an so far I haven't seen a decent reply back to his arguments.
What he is doing is making valid points that could be good or bad for the brand an the rest of you like to label him or insult him along with Troynos, Ash Talon and others who sees something good come out from the movie. Good thing Sunbow_Joe84 called you guys Nostalgia fans cause y'all are taking it way too seriously and overboard. |

valid points huh? I have NEVER seen him agree with anything anyone has ever said. He contradicts EVERYTHING and tries to make everyone seem like they have no clue wtf they are talking about...like it's a hobby or something. It's quite immature and annoying.
