Haven't you been saying that zandar is not shown enough? If that is the case how is he overexposed? I'm sorry but you are making no sense with some of this.

I said he was underexposed, not overexposed.

Oops must have misread it my apologies. Still though if you are truly forming your "legacy" based on a false property that does not matter much then that isn't much of a legacy to leave. However, it is your life to live and for that I wish you the best of luck at it.

Just trying to save my favorite aspects of my two favorite characters and being a part of something I love in that process. I achieved that...for all of five minutes and I worry it won't be a part of Zarana & Zandar anymore going onward ever again.

Sometimes that's all anyone can do, especially for characters they don't own.
I'll never forget Chris Claremont's saying something in Wizard magazine after he left the X-Men like "They took my life's work and in six months they gutted it like a fish." Imagine how George Lucas must have felt when he watched Disney turn everything he ever worked for into a steaming pile of shit the moment they took ownership. You overthink things and definitely look on the negative side of things instead of being happy about accomplishing one of your life goals: never forget that you got Larry Hama to make them twins in canon. Larry Hama. Canon. That never changes or goes away, even if they reboot and rebrand and change GI Joe over and over....as far as true A Real American Hero is concerned, Larry's word is the law. Also, look on the bright side....you legitimately might be one of the only people in the world that is an actual Zandar fan. I mean, clearly you're the number one fan in the world, but surely there can't be that many out there. He's one of the most obscure characters in a property that's being forgotten more and more every day. (The ARAH 80s canon Joe is what I mean.) I've said before I honestly believe they won't get around to Zandar in Classified. I just don't see why they'd make him at all. If they never make a "new" reboot version, then the only one that exists is the canonical ARAH version that's Zarana's twin...that's a good thing, isn't it? |

I consider myself a Zandar fan. Never considered the twin thing too much before coming here, but I did envision him being released in a two pack with Zarana, do it works for me. My head canon was always she's was the middle child and he was the youngest. Zartan, the oldest, was cruel to her, so when Zandar was born, she became protective of him. That's how she found her strength and how her and Zandar formed their bond.

I've been trying to make sure It lasts into the future of GI Joe. Zandar & Zarana just need a little marketing tic and people who love this twin twosome. I can't imagine myself ever giving up, no matter what.

So how do YOU define "tired tropes of the past"? "Tropes" is plural.

Imagine how everyone else who worked on the original trilogy must have felt when they watched George Lucas turn Star Wars into a steaming pile of shit the moment he conceived Jar Jar Binks.
