Do you think that a gi joe TV series (not cartoon something like agents of shield) which not necessarily based on the movie story (in fact I would prefer not...)
could work and help the brand? I know it would be probably pretty expensive and I dont know if there is anyone at hasbro or in a tv production company willing to take that risk I dont think that there are any military themed tv series on air right now, so, the competition wont be high. I also believe that there is always room for a good military themes-spec ops series. gi joe universe is full with stories and characters. Every episode could easily contain different characters telling their story or executing a mission at least for the first season. That way, it would be more easy for hasbro to create more ss-se-dukes-roadblocks style characters and to see the impact of each character to the audience. The episodes could present separated missions and not necessarily be parts of one big story. Of course, I am not talking about a band of brothers style series (despite I would love that) but something more children friendly like agents of shield. Simple, cheesy stories with lots of effects and explosions. what do you say? |

I was just going suggest a GI Joe version of Agents of SHIELD would be perfect before I even finished reading your post.

I had posed this same question here some years back. I had cited The Unit as an example. I hope you get beter responses than I did, because some people got down right testy about the idea and how it would suck. I think if done right it would work great. Just so long a it doesn't end up on the CW. They'd turn it into Dawsons Creek with guns and terrorists

I haven't seen Agents of Shield because I don't have TV... but a spin-off series from the biggest movie in history versus one that was delayed and did somewhat okay in theaters leaves me thinking it's not going to happen.
It would be nice, but I fear they would want to re-invent the entire thing all over again like they keep doing with GI Joe.

If it was done right, yes. But with today's critics and high standards, that's almost impossible.

By the way, The Unit was great... reminded me of the Special Missions Larry Hama did... but to cater to teh womenz they had to put in a bunch of marriage/relationship drama... bleh!

after the completion of the trilogy, hasbro will have to decide what to do next. nothing? a 4th movie? a cartoon? or maybe a TV series? a top video game and/or a TV series are the best options IMO. |

I'm all for it but think about it. A tv series based on a childrens toy? Some hack would ruin it with a crap storyline and get it cancelled before it airs.

I am not talking about an elaborated and complicated breaking bad quality tv series. simple a la avengers story style. It has to be somewhat children-friendly, in order to make the toys more attractive to the kids. I think the fact that gi joe has so many characters really suits a TV series. one episode focused on SE and SS another on Dreadnoks or on a mission of Beachhead and Stalker in Sierra Gordo. |

you are crazy if you said yes. they would have to take the brand so far away from gi joe they should just name it something else.
