I've seen a lot of people who have noted that their kids prefer ARAH over any other incarnation. I have a young relative who loves the original show. I'm in my mid-20s and the original stuff was always by far my favorite. ARAH is great enough to last generations. Don't undersell it, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard and Empire Strikes Back, it's stuck around because it's great.

Apparently, the mere fact that they would have the audacity to make a TV show about one of the girl characters is more than enough to make some people lose their frikkin' minds.
How dare they make a G.I. Joe show with girls in it? What a travesty! Oh, how unfair it is to the boys! Nobody ever makes TV shows about boys!! How will our delicate male egos endure such an outrage?!?!
The only posts I've seen have expressed a hope that the show steers clear of preachy politics & stays true to the character and franchise they're adapting, instead of making it GI Joe in name only. I also don't see anybody really strongly objecting to the show being about a girl. (Heck, she's the most frequently appearing character in the Sunbow show, except CC) You, sir, appear to be the one building a straw man.

Going by history, Baroness would be the logical villain for LJ, but it probably depends on how the show fits around Snake Eyes' film. Honestly, I'd prefer Cobra as an organization being the villain, not necessarily the same operative every episode.
Hope it's good. I'm not holding my breath, we've been here before. But I'll wait and see. A Lady Jaye TV show could be great, if done right.
