Everyone has their own head canon/Joeverse and we all have things we feel are the agreeable standard.
There have been numerous stories and changes with the different comic companies and cartoons. But if GI Joe was rebooted and needed to be streamlined in to one, cohesive story, what needs to stay, what needs to change and what needs to forgotten? STAY - Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Stalker served together before GI Joe was formed - Snake Eyes is a disfigured mute - Snake Eyes trained with the Arashikage Clan CHANGE - Snake Eyes. Storm Shadow and Stalker serving together needs to be updated (most likely to the Middle Eastern conflict) - Serpentor and Cobra-La should be changed to what it was in the IDW Cobra comic. A cult. - Cobra Commander doesn?t need to be a used car salesmen. And his motivations should not be connected to Snake Eyes. - Cobra shouldn?t be a terrorist organisation. The way they were presented in the IDW Cobra comic works perfectly. FORGOTTEN - All GI Joe movies from the end of the intro of GI Joe: The Movie onwards. - Snake Eyes being an omnipotent ninja Anything you would like to add? |

No ninjas. I'd set the story tens years in the future. All new characters. Some old characters could be mentors.

Stay:
Pretty much everything that happened in the original Marvel series Change: Most of everything that happened in the IDW Hama continuation of the original Marvel series Forgotten: Everything that isn't the Hama series

Some of these answers are pretty harsh. While I’d love to see new concepts for GI Joe you really can’t throw out the baby with the bath water.
You can’t have Masters of the Universe without He-Man and Skeletor. You can’t have Transformers without Optimus Prime and Megatron (or derivatives as seen in Beast Wars) You can’t have GI Joe without Snake Eyes (let’s be real, he is the face of the brand) and Cobra Commander. |

File Cards are canon to me, that's about it. As a kid, head canon rules. The less a cartoon, movie or comic "feeds you", the better. Even with Star Wars, we had an entire universe of unknown stuff, before all the TV shows and comics filled in all the gaps. We didn't know what the Clone Wars was, or who Zuckuss or Lobot were, and I kind of preferred that.
