I hate the 1987 animated film.

I pretend that Cobra Commander was always human, and never a scientist of Cobra-La, never was Baron Ironblood, and that the Baroness is not his sister.
Maybe Larry Hama’s story is stuck in my head now, and I’m reluctant to accept the newer ideas. Probably won’t be able to accept the new ethnicity and story idea for the upcoming Snake Eyes movie, should it ever come to theaters next year.

Not sure if these count for controversial, but they're at least polarizing:
I'm a Scarlett/Duke guy. I prefer Storm Shadow as a Joe (ex-Cobra turned Joe, more specifically). |

it wasn't my childhood Joe, but I liked it and still do. It was a fun flick and I just can't take this shit seriously anyway. Retaliation was also fun, but felt poorly made to me. Both seemed rushed, but ROC was better film-making. Not great, mind you, but much better craft than Retaliation. Also, anything that pisses off "The Establishment" (in this case, hardcore nerd fanboys), is alright by me.
I didn't get why they made cobra commander non-human, but I guess they just wanted to do something different. The 87 movie wasn't my cup of tea either

Controversy or not but I absolutely hate how Hasbro Sunbow crammed Duke down our throats and stole the spotlight from our beloved Gen. Abernathy Hawk. I would’ve bought 50 versions of Hawk over all the damn Dukes we got.

Was General Hawk ever introduced in the Sunbow cartoon before 1986? I don't remember.

Nah, to each their own, but with you on Tommy as a reformed Joe. I'd really like it if they could make new, bad ass villains; I was really enjoying Wraitj, for example. |

Serpentor does not really exist. Cobra Commander is the 1 true leader of Cobra

Hating the 1987 movie has never been controversial. In fact, early internet GI JOE fandom was biased against the cartoon as a whole.
Comic opinions: - Original Cobra Commander should've stayed dead. It was the end of his arc. He's done in by the evil he nurtured in others. - Storm Shadow should've either stayed dead or remained a JOE (well he did go back to the Joes) - Don't care for Roadpig and he ruined the Dreadnoks, by forcing the rest to listen to Zarana. - I agree that Baroness and Destro as a long term couple was not good. The contrast of the two, his sense of honor and her evil nature would not last. Which brings me to... - The Snake Eyes Trilogy was bad and tying Baroness and Destro into Snake-Eyes' past was a terrible move. - Zartan should've stayed dead. His attempt at redemption assuming the Blind Master's form only to seek revenge on Fred VII and then be doomed by the original CC returning was the end of his arc. - Putting Firefly inside the freighter and his later origin reveal were both bad ideas. - The brainwave scanner was overused. Cartoon - I like Duke being the leader. - I like Roadblock's rhymes. - I hated Serpentor's addition at the time but now seeing it as at least shaking up the status quo. - Duke should've died in the 1987 movie as intended. - Serpentor also should've died as originally scripted. - I don't think the ghost episode is that good and baffled as to why it was on the fan favorites DVD in that boxed set. |
