I actually did read it. I'm just basing my posts on what the thread is about. I prefer the international team, but not changing it is fine too. This thread could have been ended a long time ago if someone watched the trailers. In this one the Baroness specifically say "Real American Heros."
look, I keep forgetting that they changed it back. Either way, I'm astonished by the ignorance. They make a change and there's thread that becomes a cesspool made so grown ups can bitch at each other about how their childhood is bleeding. If anything fans should be pleased that the franchise still exist. It's actually ungrateful that fans are reacting how they are over a movie. A movie meant to bring the franchise back.

Two things:
1.You don't have to be "anti-american" to want G.I. Joe to be the international force it ALWAYS HAS BEEN in markets outside of the US, you just want a chance to be let in on the fantasy, any more than you have to hate white people or men to want some people of colour or women on the team. Also, I refer you to the "international gallery" menu at yojoe.com: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, U.K., Venezuela 2. Hasbro has been making or licensing international G.I. Joes since _before_ the 3 3/4 figure line even launched. From '66 in the UK, from '76 in France, etc. 1996, Hasbro produced a 12 inch G.I. Joe SAS figure, for example. View it as a sell out if you like, but it's one with a decades-long legacy. |

That wasn't directed at you, it was more of a general statement. There's too many folks around that can't grow up, that is basically who I was directing it towards. Not you. Sorry if it seemed that way. I'm actually just kinda upset that fans hate their own franchise. It seems kinda sick and hypocritical. I don't usually post anything insulting directed to any specific person even if i quote it. It's just most people respond to that kinda stuff, and I'm bored. When I see a post and respond most of the time I respond to that and build off of some rant I've concocted in my head. Sorry about that, I didn't mean to make it seem like that to you.

All this international force bullshit is just another example of the hate those liberal hollywood douchbags have for America.
GI Joe is an American term coined during World War II to describe the general infantry man, just a bunch of regular "joes" who fought the axis powers to preserve freedom. But now the United States, despite all the good it does throughout the world, is seen as evil by the left wing liberal communist morons in the entertainment industry who couldn't give a shit about right and wrong, just want to be politically correct enough to get everyone's buck. GI:Joe a Real AMERICAN Hero is what they have been called since day 1. Anything else is a travesty and should anger the patriotism of all freedom loving Americans. |
