It makes me wonder why they turn the Commander into himself( snake) in Sunbow version.

Destro + Zarana was great, followed by Destro dumping Zarana to go back to the Baroness.

The problem with DIC is they changed GI joe to an adventure team. Most of the vehicles were too sci-fi and too many new characters. They needed more to of the Sunbow characters.
Cobra commander and Destro being back in the forefront were positives. Serpentor and Mindbender hurt Season 2 of Sunbow IMO. Having Lady Jaye and Hawk as regulars were a positive. The episodes plots weren’t nearly as good either. |

DIC is not the worst thing ever its just a blander version of the sunbow but what I think hurts it is the voice acting. The sunbow series along with Transformers G1 are still enjoyable to this day and I think the voice acting plays a big role in that when you have such a large cast of characters it helps when voices are so distinct it can bring the most boring and least important characters to life in a memorable way.

Originally for GI. Joe season 3 (sunbow) cobra commander would have returned with The Coils, start the cobra civil war, the iron grenaders would have showed up. Duke would have died in the movie and falcon would have taken dukes place.

I have to admit that I liked the DIC series. I think though it was mainly because I was able to see the Joes that were currently available at the time on screen as we didn't see anything after the 1987 Joes we saw in the Movie.

Oh, and I watched a few episodes when I was in Hong Kong and they were dubbed in Chinese. It really was quite interesting watching it (along with other shows I've watched here) in Hong Kong.

I can't remember if they did it in every episode, but I remember being surprised that DiC actually showed the Joes and Cobras with their actual correct weapons and gear. I liked that over Sunbow giving everyone Snowjob's rifle.
DIC had it's moments, not many but it had them. My biggest problem with it, was that back in the day I never got to watch it. Unless I was home sick from school. It didn't come on until, I think it was around 8 am or 8:30. I had to catch the school bus at 7:30, so I never saw it. When they were still showing the Sunbow cartoon, it came on at 6:30. I would eat breakfast and watch GIJoe then get ready for school. |

I have had the Dic series for a few years now, finally powered threw it. I don't like Season 1 much, no outstanding episodes other than Metalhead ones, the Joes themselves are boring. You don't have a Shipwreck, a Flint or a Roadblock level of likability here, just flat and boring. Most of any source of entertainment from this is Gnawgahyde and Metalhead.
Season 2 was a pretty big improvement, mostly due to the subteams and new villains. Who'd think the Ecowarriors and Headman would be the best parts? Who'd think an episode where Cobra Commander is defeated by a Corgi would be entertaining? However, I do think Duke was a bit better here than Sunbow. He's a bit more hotheaded and emotional than in Sunbow, makes him more likable. Him telling Falcon to shut up during the Headman episodes was just one of the best things in GI Joe ever. |
