The request for "dark and gritty" is what I'm opposed to.
I 100% agree with certain characters being overused, but that was really a Larry Hama and Hasbro toy production problem. The cartoons used many of the characters pretty evenly across the board, and neither Storm Shadow or Snake Eyes got a huge amount of focus in either series. If you want to blame anyone, blame the rabid Hama / Snake Eyes fans for eating up trash output. (not saying it was all trash, just the SE-focused stuff) think of it like this when were all your G.I. Joe battles not dark and gritty? Everyone on this board had at least on revenge mission when Duke was killed. In your imagination when playing, bullets connected , characters died. Continuation battles were a thing. I just dont like the stuff that we?ve gotten in recent years and even before Have just been laughable and cringe. Kill characters. Keep them dead. Put in lesser known Joes and Cobras. Make a python patrol or any that I named ) believable.

Bo and Luke Duke were "hostages" Everyone wore Boss Hogg's hat at one point, but it finally ended on Range Viper at some point because he looked like an undead cowboy to me. and god help me I used Tonto from the Lone Ranger line as a stand in for Spirit in those early years. |

They had great people working on this movie and that lousy shaky cam direction hides it all. Oh, and quick / constant cuts. Like what is actually going on? Show me the fights! |

Rather than retire all our favorites just update all the files. All Vietnam vets become OER (Afghanistan) vets, etc.. just modernize them but don't lose the character?s characteristics. Sort of like the 30th Ann line.
upskill some like Mainframe and Dialtone to Cyber. Tunnel Rat can still be EOD with an M240 or M249 instead on a M60. Clutch can still be an 88M but drive one of those new JLTVs that the 82nd AA run around in. He can still be a chauvinist and grease his hair with motor oil too. Blowtorch probably needs a new career though?. CCs background can be the same, plenty of pyramid schemes out there. We are too invested in the classics.
