With GI Joe, the story line with ARAH is fantastic, the formula obviously worked. Changing too much and then you have a fork in the story lines.. two camps, the classic and the film. There's enough branching of so many Joe storylines that it's confusing. Classic GI Joe verses the Intruders, GI Joe verses COBRA, Sigma 6, Sunbow cartoon, those other cartoons, Cobra-la, battleforce 2000, etc. Now the film line.

Keep the classic ARAH storyline, a re-telling but true to the original formula.

This is the problem I think. To many ideas of what G.I.Joe should be. Everybody has their take on it because there are so many verses, and you can't please everybody. You liked the ARAH storyline - which I think is an amalgem of the sunbow cartoons and the marvel run.
They obviously have taken a footnote from sigma six with the suits probably to capture the newest generation as well as make it easier with the action shots (they can get away with way more with the suits on).

They can't please everybody - as long as they keep the initial theme and feeling there I'll be happy.
