I want to take a moment to talk about something that has always bothered me...
Baroness and Destro should never have been a couple. It makes sense and I like Destro pining for her, but I always felt the Baroness should be disinterested in any sort of long term relationship, as I view her as a ruthless, amoral anti-establishment and anti-American terrorist. Settling down, as it were, feels off for the character, to me. I accept it's a major part of their lore, now, but I never liked it. Also, Stretcher was cooler than we give him credit. |

I always went with Destro being in love with Scarlett.
With the new Roadblock V1/V2, I have them as RB & Heavy Duty, but made them step brothers that didn't know about one another until Scarlett recruited both to the Joe Team. The tattoo was something their dad had, so that is why they both have it.

Transformers, MASK, ROM, Visionaries and Street Fighter don't exist in my Joe, unpopular as that may be. I see that stuff like Street Fighter vs Capcom - an extremely fun game but I can't make any sort of canon out of it.

Why does it have to be canon? Could just be a fun game?

It's a very fun series, but that's it.

Now that the Joe's are in scale with the Marvel Universe and with the newer tech, I think of them as a special branch of SHIELD(the blue on the weapons remind me of the icer pistols) and moved them a few years into the future. Even have it in my head that the OLD MAN HAWKEYE is Scarlett's dad, but I have to wait to get that set to see how it plays out...lol.

GI Joe should never share a universe with Transformers, Visionaries, MASK or anything other Action Force, maybe Action Man, and Comandos Heroicos/Comandos Em Acao.

My controversial opinion: Rise of Cobra. I liked it. That was my childhood Joe. No more needs to be said

it wasn't my childhood Joe, but I liked it and still do. It was a fun flick and I just can't take this shit seriously anyway. Retaliation was also fun, but felt poorly made to me. Both seemed rushed, but ROC was better film-making. Not great, mind you, but much better craft than Retaliation. Also, anything that pisses off "The Establishment" (in this case, hardcore nerd fanboys), is alright by me.
