Larry Hama's Zandar (and 99% of his characters for that matter) were motivated by duty or honor or power....not by their genitals.[/quote]
I didn't say he was motivated by his genitals anymore than Scarlett or Snake-Eyes.

I know it is/was "fashionable" for IDW to take their licensed Hasbro properties and turn them into woke caricatures of what they were 35 years ago. This includes making all the members of Jem lesbians, and making some of them ugly and fat, and then introducing the concept of "gay" Transformers and even later "Trans-Transformers" which to me is so blitheringly stupid I can't really even fathom it.
36 years ago, things were different. You can't expect the comics to remain static.

DT, I've always admired your passion, but the whole "weird incesty twins that speak their own private twin language, and the gay boy twin has a weird crush on the girl twin" thing might go over extremely well in anime, but in GI Joe it's just plain.....weird!!
Zartan and his family
are
weird and mysterious. Don't read incest into it, though.
Quote:
Of course you're absolutely free to feel however you want about any of these characters, but a lot of ARAH fans are pretty old school leftovers from Reagan's 80s, and might not necessarily be into the whole anime/incesty thing.
Don't read incest (or anime) into it. It can be creepy without going that far. An aging fanbase can't sustain ARAH forever, and times have changed a lot since then.
Quote:
I've always thought Zandar especially was the lamest form of 3rd rate knockoff, and he pretty much doesn't even exist to me.
And I think he's an underused character with a lot of potential within the Dreadnoks and his family.
Quote:
Having said that, I do hope one day you get the perfect two-pack you've always dreamed of, cause you'll be thrilled and it won't affect my collection or "canon" in the slightest.
To be clear, my dream is to see Zarana & Zandar as firmly established as twins as Tomax & Xamot. To do that, they need marketing together, to have significant media exposure and lore together. Character development. A 2 pack helps this along.
