Yes, it's OK to like both, but maybe you lean a bit more towards one.

I enjoyed both, plus the animated toy and comicbook commercials and other media back then. The Sunbow/Marvel cartoon felt like it belonged to a much larger universe since it was connected to other fun series like Inhumanoids & Transformers and later even GI JOE Sgt Savage.

Both are very important to me. They have great stories and great character development. I think I prefer the comics slightly because the stories are so amazing. However the Sunbow cartoon was a very important introduction to G.I. Joe for me. I still watch Sunbow and I still read the comics.

Comic. I like darker tones. The cartoon never had anyone dyeing or anything like that.

I can forgive the cartoon for it being made for kids and being a product of its time period. GI JOE Resolute did a good job of connecting both the comic and toon, but they never went that route instead we got Renegades.
I think the Sunbow GI JOE Extreme animated series also loosely connected to A Real American Hero and Sgt Savage and the "knowing his half the battle" line as well. I remember an episode where Iron Klaws' royal mansion guards wore blue uniforms and there was some sorta Cobra statue that was focused on by the camera. Who knows where that series would've ended up had it been successful. Later GI JOE incarnations featured Extreme characters like Lt Stone and especially Iron Klaw and his Skar organization.

Sunbow TV show.
I love the original comics, but the show has a much more consistent quality. With the exception of probably 3 or 4 episodes, the show maintains a serious amount of rewatchability. I also prefer the tone. The comics are a bit soapy at times for my taste, while the cartoon has a definite US military meets James Bond meets Indiana Jones vibe that's just pure, well-written fun. Third, I think the cartoon actually did a better job with the characters. Outside of the Snakes/Storm Shadow/Scarlett/Stalker stories, there's not a lot of characterization in the comics. In the cartoon, there's relationships, friendships, hatred, rivalries, arguments and character development all over the place. So yeah, I love the comics, but I love the show more. |
