When did you get back in? Because in the late 90's it wasn't merely anything 90's, it was almost everything after 1986 or 1987. People like Tiger Force and Python Patrol now? Not so much back then. The repaints were treated with contempt, except a few Night Force ones (the exclusivity factor being an extra contributor to that). HEADHUNTERS ARE COOL? Not then even, eye rolling reactions to GI JOE in the war on drugs.
Of course, this was the time when the major online contributors were mostly comic book purists, and there was also heavy bashing and dismissing of the cartoons. So Zartan and Destro got praised, while Big Boa, Darklon and Raptor got bashed. Though I do recall the Crimson Twins were not as well loved as pre-1985 characters. Serpentor even less popular. I got back in (by that I mean reading forums and such) a few years ago, and also read the Marvel comic run for the first time around then. I was born in 85 and I honestly don't think anyone I knew was even aware there was a GI Joe comic book. Certainly no one ever mentioned it. I first got into Joes in 1990 and started watching the DIC toon at that time, too, so I knew of Capt Grid Iron as the Joe leader before I even knew who Duke or Hawk were. I realize that's a pretty anomalous time to jump in now, but it also perhaps helps me to be a little more clear-eyed toward the earlier stuff. And that's not to say I dislike the early stuff, but it just seems far from realism. |
