Considering the time and all the other trends in other shows and media- it was a necessary story-line

Depends on who you ask. I don't like it, and I thought it was hokey even as a 12 year old. But lots of people here seem to like it, and I respect that. It's just not for me, and it's NOT necessary in my Joe universe, and is therefore not a part of it. Thankfully for me, Cobra la wasn't included in the comics.

it was only necessary because it was part of the joe movie.if that didn't happen, then just think how many less nerd wars we would have had.

I don't hate Cobra-la, but I certainly don't think it was necessary. Considering they did absolutely nothing with the concept after, it was obviously an idea that failed to generate sales.

The joe movie is what hooked me on joes. So for me, it was and is very necessary. Which is why this: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-la-la-la.html was also necessary.

Yeah, people forget how fickle kids were/are. Hasbro needed to keep re-engaging their market. That's why Serpentor, why Sgt. Slaughter joined the team and things got more outlandish overall.
Cobra-La was testing the waters but it didn't work. Unlike Transformers, where they ran with the future setting, GI JOE went right back to things as if nothing happened. Of course, part of that had to do with the fact there was no Sunbow season 3 made, and the comic never used Cobra-La. I heard there were more Cobra-La items planned besides the Insecticycle and Pythona, one was Serpentor's boss or something. Or maybe that wasn't a Cobra-La character? |

It was welcomed by me. I'm a huge Sci Fi nut, so I love that stuff. I never took GI Joe as a real life military force, it's always been fiction to me.
That's why I liked ROC more then Retaliation. Retaliation got too real world and that's not my GI Joe. My joe is a bunch of guys shooting blue and red lasers. |
