Okay Ive tried a few times to get my bro into joes but have had no luck .He is a Transformer Fan,comic fan ,thunder cats fan and a action figure collector .He says the characters are boring and He says every character is forced into a stereotype ,and they have no real flawed characters he says they are too perfect to be and its always the same thing with them stop the big weapon , and he says no one was really better than the joes like a person so tough they dont even think they can take him (like in tf)and he claims no one on the old show ever dies(like tfs seeming they killed people left and right ) so it was boring . interesting how could I convert him

I am quite certain that if you show him this site at all, he will definately not convert. Maybe he is just happy with the way his hobby is going. I don't think you can convert him at all.

and thundercats are well rounded multi dimensional flawed characters?
really, every 'cat is "forced into stereotype" as well and it's still a cool show. tell him i don't know...there's no berbil bills or snarfs to endure on joe. if that doesn't work....i don't think anything will.

He probably just hasn't found the hook that will get his interest. I think if I had not been into them as a little kid in the 80s watching the cartoon I would never be into them now. Certainly watching the cartoon now as an adult would not get me into it.
Has he seen Resolute yet? Maybe that would get his interest. How about some of the comics? Wasn't there a GI-Joe/Transformers crossover comic series? I must admit I am only now getting into the comics, so I don't know which are the better ones to recommend. |

Try punctuating your sentences so he can understand you.
