GI Joe came up in discussions I had twice this week and it was pretty interesting so I thought I’d share. Before Taekwondo 2 days ago, I was reading ARAH comics on my phone. The kid behind me must have been peeking over my shoulder, cuz eventually he broke down and said “This is awesome! I didn’t know Fortnite had a comic series!” I tried to explain to him what GI Joe was, but he was convinced it was Fortnite. But the point is, a kid saw GI Joe and thought it was awesome, but is that because it was GI Joe or because he thought it was Fortnite?
Today at work, the GI Joe live action movies came up, and whether they were good or not. Two of the older employees who grew up with th 80’s cartoon loved it as a modern adaption of what they grew up with. My generation, who grew up with the movies, were split. Some liked them, and the others said that it didn’t follow source materials enough. Point is, you would normally think those who grew up in the 80’s would not like the movie, and kids who grew up with the movies would. Your thoughts below!

I grew up in the 80's and did not think the movies were a good representation of the souce material. Everyone my age that I have discussed them with (including collectors as well as people who left all that behind in childhood) did not really care for the movies either.
As far as younger folks, I don't believe I have ever discussed the movies with them.

I just want to see GI joe like it was in issue 1 on the big (or little) screen. I’d even settle for a Sunbow style joe movie.
