GI JOE a real american Hero

[gameoverDude]

G.I. Joe was one of my favorites, right up there with Voltron.

My favorite good characters: Airtight, Duke, Flint, Roadblock, Scarlett, Snake Eyes

Favorite villains: Destro, Cobra Commander, Major Bludd, The Baroness "Now whom do you serve?", Tomax & Xamot, Storm Shadow (in the Marvel Sunbow cartoon, he sides with Cobra)

DIC's attempted revival of G.I. Joe around the early 90s doesn't compare. They took out the great "G.I. Joe! A real American hero" song, for one thing. DIC didn't have as much cash as Sunbow (makers of the original cartoon) to work with.

That and they brought in lame characters like Salvo and Cap. Gridiron, and they made General Hawk look like a dork.

...and one thing...

NO ONE talks about that that piece of shit called G.I.Joe Extreme....

I use to be crazy over G.I. JOE. Best episodes where the one where the Joes and Cobra teamed up to fight some drug dealers, then at the end Cobra double crossed em, and made off with the drug money. That or the one where Cobra went after the Joes' families. Not much beats Cobra riding through an Indian reservation on four wheelers, shooting the place up with automatic rifles, and kidnapping some native Americans to use as mindless drones hell bent on killing their G.I. JOE relatives...

Interesting. Where's "over here"...?

Glad to see some Joe fans here, thought I was the only one.

Sgt Slaughter seemed lie a odd choice given the fact he was also a Wrestler.

The "Fridge" William Perry was also a mail away figure, and even worse Rocky was slated to be a Gi Joe member, though the idea was nixed.

Image has a new line of Joe comics out which are pretty cool.

I don't think I ever watched the show (until a few here and there recently), but I watched the movie all the time and bought the action figures. Back then it was all about the Transformers movie and the GI Joe movie. However, a little while back I bought the Transformers movie on dvd, and to my surprise after all these years I found it was a very enjoyable movie with a badass soundtrack. I seen the GI Joe movie a little bit later and felt physically ill because of it. That movie is horrible! My favorite part is when Duke gets bludgeoned with a snake, and we see the wound over his heart. The scene cuts to someone, then back to Duke, but now the wound is on the other side! Cut back to someone, then back to Duke, and the wound moves back! The worst thing the Joe movie brought to my life was for some reason a couple of my friends took to saying, "Nemesis Enforcer, protect me!" in these high-pitched whiney voices. One day we were walking to a class in High School and they started doing that and I told them to shut up but they just got louder and louder (with a bunch of people staring at them), the bastards. Anyone get the Street Fighter toys in the Joe style? Those things sucked, and the fact they carried guns was idiotic. The best were the vehicles they had like Sagat's Ultra Armored Attack Jeep.

I dont remember it at all.....I'm gonna watch the 2nd part of GIJOE soon...I've been trying to relive my youth through watching this on cartoon network.
I dunno...I dont get that same feeling anymore...used to think it was me getting older. I bet you it was that damn Sgt. slaughter...god i hate him.

But I bought the Transformers Seasons 1 and 2 (part 1) box set and well...I TOTALLY felt like a kid again.

Joe is on Cartoon Network? Finally! w00t!


I had virtually EVERY freakin toy and read the comic. I loved that every episode had a huge gunfight in which everyone always missed!
