i respect your response. I know lore is cherished by fans of any fiction. I have been to Joe Cons where the restrictions were explained in plain language, and yet fans sitting next to me were still beside themselves with outright anger and fury towards the Club and Hasbro. I just don't share that form of disagreement. Disney and Lucasfilms are plainly in it for the money. I think George is the only person that spoke out about creative liberties taken and lore that was ignored in the SW universe. SOME vocal Joe fans seem to forget that Hasbro is a toy company seeking to make a profit for shareholders. The club tried to give us what we wanted, and still exercised their creative allowances to also produce characters they liked too. We would have done the same. I know a Joe collector that really dislikes Brian on a personal level. I distance myself from this collector whenever he launches into a tirade about the club.
As far as "tolerating" bad films and not tolerating being called names, my goodness... Sticks and Stones. People that know me and dont know me can call me names. They can label me. I really dont care. If I dont like something I stay away from it. IF ASKED, I will share my reasons. I dont take it personally if things dont change to my liking. It is entertaining that people actually use the term "tolerate" as though they have a voice in the decision.
I hope GI Joe returns with a whole new scale and mythos. I would love a major reboot or reset of the brand. Its time for change. I grew up on the Adventure Team. ARAH was a huge departure in scale, and in lore. I am ready for a 1:12 scale.
Yo Joe
