Wow. You people are really harsh.

I love the toon. I think it holds up.

Great voice acting, great characterization. Duke wouldn't be on a real team? What? He did his job and did it well. Shipwreck was lazy and flirted with the chicks, but that's part of his charm. He was also heroic and had layers. Watch Memories of Mara. He's really heartbroken over losing her. Then in No Place Like Springfield, he runs back to that house, even that all logic must tell him Mara and the kid are fakes. He really wanted them to be real. Poor guy, a lonely sailor. Fun stories!

I'm reading the Joe comic, up to the 60s. One thing I hate is... ninjas, ninjas, ninjas. Hard MAster, Blind Master, Soft Master, This Master, That Master. Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Billy, Scarlett, Jinx, and so on.

I still laugh thinking about Snake Eyes fighting a shark or Storm Shadow surviving the shot by Baroness. Just nonsense.

Guys like Outback are back at base feeling guility while these damn ninjas take up vauluble page space. Cobras Terrordrome plot was lame. The Cobra in the comic wanted to take over the world. These guys are selling security to fictional countries in the comic. It just seems insubstantial.
