Well, we all (some of us) called you crazy for years. We told you to just come back to reality and stop wasting everyone's time with your obsession.
Yet you kept on pushing and pushing and you actually manifested your hopes into reality. That's fucking insane! I can't believe it worked....with Larry AND with Hasbro!! Can't you just sit back and enjoy the win? |

Just worried sick it won't make its way into the official material. Zandar's scarf and Zarana & Zandar and all.... everyone refuses to think outside the 'Zartan's sister and her other brother Zandar' box. It scares me to death it will just fall away and be ignored all over again, just like DDP did. Skybound is heading in the same direction.

I couldn't care less. I read GI Joe titles to see if they will present an interesting story. None of these characters have a sacred incarnation as they have all been presented in various different ways. These are stories about a toyline from the 80s.

He was talking about his own canon, NOT yours. Twins, you need to lighten up on those who don't agree with you, or I'll lock this up. People are trying to engage, and answer the question with their own ideas/opinions, and you come off as terse with every single post (and vote for that matter) that doesn't perfectly align with yours.

Pink scarf when he's himself. Red when he's in disguise as Ghost Rider. Zarana is his contact to drop off intel. In my canon, Zartan is off on his own. Zarana leads the Dreadnoks. She's the only one that knows Zandar is undercover.

"Who gave him that scar? And why? "
Sorry, I did not read through the whole thread, so maybe you already addressed this. If not, I'm interested in what is your theory on the scar?

From my post in the Classified thread.
One theory I have is that the Dreadnoks were involved in a deal gone bad. Zartan and his siblings were there, along with a few of the other Dreadnoks. Fighting breaks out, and some of the Dreadnoks are wounded, including Zandar, whose throat was cut. Zarana moves to help him and Zartan tells her there's nothing they can do for Zandar and they were retreating. Zarana does what Zarana does, she agrees with Zartan. Two days later, a miraculously still alive Zandar stumbles back home and collapses, After receiving medical attention, Zandar demands to know why Zartan left him for dead, and the worst of all, knowing the word of Zartan holds more power over her than the bond she has with her twin. It kills him. It kills her. It amuses Zartan. Zarana tears a piece of cloth from her jacket and wraps it around Zandar's neck, concealing the scar. Zarana also tells Zandar it's for the two of them, so she'll always be with him. What hold does Zartan have over Zarana? |

Zarana also tells Zandar it's for the two of them, so she'll always be with him. What hold does Zartan have over Zarana? Who were the Dreadnoks fighting? My money is on the Headhunters.

Zartan and his sister Zarana are an overexposed, overdone dynamic, but it still has to appear. I approached it as if I was a professional, rather than a fan--I did what I did not want to do, rather than indulge my more fan-driven ideas. A story like that one carves out a place, not just for Zartan and his sister Zarana while writing off the twins' relationship, it proves there can be room for both, that Zarana can be close to Zartan and, extremely close to Zandar too, without diminishing either dynamic. That flexibility isn't something I've seen with too many others, at least on the surface. "Zandar sucks!" "Zandar is redundant." "Zandar is stupid." Okay, so let's make him cool instead of parroting what everybody else does with the character, which is usually nothing, or setting him up away from his family or at odds with Zarana. It doesn't vary. Making him cool begins with investment into the character and being a professional means (at least to me) doing what you may not want to do for the benefit of storytelling and character development. |
