When people can accept GIJOE as being a team, and a
concept
instead of particular characters, that is when it will be ok to move on.
New leaders and characters for Joe and Cobra, place it in a fictional versus type of storyline loosely based on the present with a look at near futuristic weapons and vehicles.
and NEVER connect it to any previously established characters including adventure team super joe etc. You do that and you bring everything right back to the same old story and the same old plotlines. You fall into the "That's not Duke, "That's not Cobra Commander", "That's not Snake Eyes' tragic story" trap.
GIJOE has been Duke and company since 1982. including Sgt. Savage and Extreme because they had ties to the ARAH universe and characters.
No 12 inch fan/collector had ever heard of Clutch, Scarlett, and Cobra Commander in 1982.
It would be a huge risk to start over fresh but it would not be as stale either.
