I mean...for a while in the 90's the comic book was actually called "GI Joe starring SNAKE EYES." (Seriously, the "GI Joe" bit was barely visible) He was also the linchpin/centerpiece of pretty much the entire Larry Hama GI Joe saga under Marvel (alongside Cobra Commander).
He's always generally been the most popular Joe for a variety of reasons, some of which you hit on already. That doesn't mean he's EVERYONE's favorite or that Joe didn't benefit from having a large and diverse and interesting roster, but it'd be difficult to find any other single Joe who is more people's favorite. But really how much the franchise depends on him generally depends on whether the person talking is a Toon guy or a Comic guy. The former tend to think Duke is more important. The latter will tell you Snake-Eyes every time (that doesn't mean Snake-Eyes is their favorite, but anyone that doesn't realize he was the most important Joe in the comics...probably didn't read them...or didn't read them very closely). |

Me thinks that was to compete with TMNT.

I'm not sure if I'd rather have this continued hiatus or see Hasbro slap together "G.I. Joe: Yo, Joe!" in order to desperately chase what's popular at the moment.

Bringing in Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis puts a lot of pressure on a movie to be a blockbuster, but what is wrong with making serviceable action flicks that make some money? All this pressure to build a universe or preserve continuity might be holding everything up. Let the media be pulpy, fun comic book stuff and focus on what the company is (toys and games).

If Hasbro takes back control of the franchise, there are basically three options. I don't believe Hasbro will try an original idea.
1. Copy Teen Titans Go and Thundercats Roar. 2. Copy Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 3. Copy Castlevania and what they are doing with War for Cybertron on Netflix. |

Hasbro owns the property, but they haven't released a new show or piece of media, outside the comics, in years. They've basically given Paramount and these movies run of the franchise.

Rise of the TMNT is similar to those two, except there's an actual action show buried under the wild takes and sociopathy, that occasionally surfaces during fluid action sequences. |

Teen Titans Go and Thundercats Roar are wacky comedies/satire of the properties they're based on. If they go this route, they'll use cheap flash, the characters will yell every other line, and the heroes will be portrayed as violent sociopaths because it's ironic that "heroic" characters are violent sociopaths.
Rise of the TMNT is similar to those two, except there's an actual action show buried under the wild takes and sociopathy, that occasionally surfaces during fluid action sequences. If the characters and brand are destined to die out, I'd like them to do so with dignity.
