once again i say if were going to pick at the cartoon because of it being for kids then we need to pick at the whole joe line. everytime i say this most say but the comic is more realistic then the cartoon, true, but its still nowhere near being realistic. if it were real there would be one big battle and it would all be over because there is nowhere on earth a army as big as cobra could hide from the allied forces. thats another stupid thing, in the comic gi joe and cobra are not known to the public. no way the things cobra has done would go unnoticed.
back to the question, was it silly? yeah, the 90's were even to silly for me but tell me what cartoon that has stood the test of time wasnt. everyone talks about the new justice league, i love it also, but it didnt stand the test of time with its hard edged style. heck, it only lasted a few years. i think in one of the other threads about the cartoon i wrote about demographics. this has to be true because the ones who thought it was silly when they were a kid were older then myself. i can honestly say i took it all in without thinking how silly it was. i dont think its silly today either, because if i did, me being close to 30 i would have to stop buying toys because toys are really for kids.
one more thing. my buddy and i are wanting to see the new cartoon very badly(i was sigma six too before it came out) but i told him, and i still stand to it, "in 25 more years, the first joe cartoons will be the one everybody remembers, not the realistic resolute. dont believe this, look at how bad extreme did, it was edgy for that time. looking for realism in a cartoon is like looking for beachfront property in Alaska.
