I was looking at the file card about Scoop on Yojoe.com and I can say the character in the Dragonfire mini series was a whiny bitch. He blamed GI Joe for injuring his folks then joins Cobra only to find out that the Cobra organization were d-bags and then Joins GI Joe. This was one character from the DIC version that annoyed me. Metal Head was another one.

Those are the ONLY characters from the DIC universe that annoyed you? At least in terms of the DIC series, I find Scoop and Metalhead to be two of the only characters that had any kind of depth or character development with Scoop being a double agent, and Metalhead having ties to Lady Jaye, and trying to impress his grandma.

I have to agree w/TIC, Scoop at least "has" character.

I think Scoop was 'redeemed' in the IDW run in the Cobra II miniseries. It's pretty neat.
Anything prior to that, though, he was lame; comic OR cartoon. |

Maybe the worst episode ever made... In my opinion.

I don't know, I think it might venture in to "so bad it's good" territory. Though that could be said for virtually the whole DIC series.

The only DiC stuff I've ever seen was Dragon Fire. I've heard nothing but bad about the rest, so I've avoided it.
And for my Joeverse, I've "fixed" Scoop. He's no longer a journalist, but is the guy in charge of the Joe's operations center. He's got the "scoop" on all the operations going on. |

As a kid I always thought Scoop had a pretty cool backstory. I liked the notion that Cobra killed his family, but tricked him into the thinking it was really the Joes. Makes sense, and I liked the fact that some sort of lie or trick was involved to make people join Cobra.
I watched the Dragonfire series a few months ago, and while I still like the overall story there are definitely some moments (just like Sunbow) where its a little tough to watch due to the cheese factor. |

they should make a Resolute type cartoon of the DIC version.
