these over the top unneccesary uncalled for and un warranted changes just show how pure and utterly that hasbro does NOT CARE about the franchise and is just trying to appease the PCism this new world has mandated there be. Instead of makign a new character...yet another character has fallen vicitim to the changes that arent neccesary.

Let do what ever they want, they already screwed up GI Joe with the first movie. I mean I liked the movie, but it was just a movie, not GI Joe. It was like watching Episode 1. I liked it as a movie, but not as part of the Star Wars Universe. So let them make Firefly black, Lady Jaye a guy, and Flint a gay hairdresser, who cares. If they want to do something great, continue making the rest of the figures they started on the 25th style.

See thats the problem though...if one character changes, then all other version MUST fall into line with said change and THAT is the issue. it would be one thing if they only changed in on thing but it all started with ripcord and Hasbro says if one changes all other versions must fall into the same pacing so now once this gets mainstream (ie other medias) all must follow the same pattern so there will not be a classic version of the character. We may see a classic firefly down the line again but it wont be named firefly...just liek cobra island ripcord wasnt ripcord but specialist altitude with free falls file name and thus if firefly is made back to his PROPER version it will not be labeled firefly. people wanna say oh its being racist or such other bull but the simple fact is its nothing but pure laziness on hasbros part and the continued ruination of further characters.

I'm a HUGE comic book purist.
it's one of the frustrating things about X-Men. Sauron's not a mutant then Sauron's a mutant. there's characters who die and come back to life without explanation because the artist doesn't know they're dead and they end up in the background of a scene and it just looks lazy as hell. Iceman should NOT have been in the final battle with Onslaught... Toad should not look like Ray Park... but isn't IDW a sort of 'elseworld's' gi joe thing? I don't read it so please let me know if I'm mistaken. isn't it it's own continuity? It wasn't Ripcord being black that bothered me it was Wayans' acting. Has IDW made any statements?

how is it laziness? wouldn't laziness be to leave it alone and not bother doing anything else? that's a lot of work for lazy.

its laziness that instead of creating a new character to add diversity they go and change a pre-exsisting, pre-established character. If they wanted a blacxk saboteur MAKE A NEW CHARACTER...lord knows joe needs new characters.

I don't know, how many that are for them aren't white? Its not just because the would be not white, I had no problem with the Abel Shiraz Breaker and would think it was as stupid if Sgt Stone was ROC Stalker. I think its laziness, give us new characters, don't change things that have been constant for 30 years to pander to a few PC crybabies.
