without ever realising that that film was a satire.
I was a kid then. I liked it.

No idea. There is another not on the list that looks a lot like Scarlet

felt very forced in that way, putting Johnson in a leadership role like that.
I agree. Don't get me started on how they killed the Joe team. A friend of mine said she quit GI Joe when retaliation killed of most of the Joes.

bland, drab and generic the RoC costumes were, or how relatively understated a lot of the early G.I. Joes were, especially prior to the 1990s.
That is True, But I thought at the time that was because they were a unit. I do love me some neon Joes though...

Hasbro might have to content itself with catering to a smaller customer base, rather than trying to water down the core concepts of the brand in an Sisyphean effort to chase global returns.
Sounds about right.
