yeah, i never played into the patriotism part of gijoe. hardly really even noticed.
i am not a very patriotic person; and also dont believe it's a reason why there isnt enough gijoe out there. someone brought up fortnite - it's everything gijoe is without any flag waving(as little as it was for gijoe); and it's doing just fine. |

I don't know if you all from the US, but I am not. We don't have all the content you have in the US. We do not have all the toys brands in the toy stores over here. If Hasbro wants to make money they need to expose their brands outside of the US as well.

Are you purposely ignoring the awesome netflix War for Cybertron series that came out last year, or do you really not know about it?
Transformers has been marketing itself to the younger and older demographic for years now.

Transformers is a massively successful brand, one of Hasbro's flagships, with 8 (8, right?) wildly profitable feature-length films, a Netflix series beyond this one, and how many different toy lines? (Masterpiece, Legacy, Buzzworthy, BotBots, the dollar store lines, surely 1-2 more I'm forgetting?)
This seems to be a thinly veiled "old man yells at cloud for being 'too woke'" when occham's razor suggests that Hasbro saw a market opportunity in a stupid, absurdly profitable line and is trying to run with it. Is patriotism lower than in the past? Possibly, but that's too easy an excuse for product popularity - and overlooks that GI Joe went from nothing 3 years ago to "we're making five times as many Classified figures and still selling out" right now. Patriotism? Pffffff.

Absolutely. I kind of blew it off at first, but my boys loved it so I watched it with them and it really grew on me. Even their mother liked it. All these years later we go back through it now and then. A shame the HUVB failed and they abandoned it and didn't shop it around. Because the story had a whole lot of promise.

Hasbro and Mattel have done a good job with animated series based on their IP with War for Cybertron and the new Masters of the Universe. Hasbro need to do one for GI Joe.
They need to move away from feature films and back to television via either an animated series or live action show. It’s also imperative for Hasbro to not allow the Harvard dilettante Lorenzo di Bonaventura anywhere near the creative decisions anymore. |
