In 1982, the world was a lot less politically correct, and everybody was on board against terrorism - But Hasbro still would not have made "G.I.Joe - It's purpose, to kill a lot of evil dudes who took hostages in or near Iran..." Today, bad people mask their terrorism and blur lines that are not as clearly delineated. But if the governments of the world refuse to draw clear lines, I would highly doubt Hasbro would pull the trigger and give us villains of today. And frankly, I don't want things that "real" in my Joe-verse. I want a brief respite from the dark world we all live in. (Oops, got a little philosophical...)

But I do agree, fresh faces might help, as long as they try to keep the theme/genre nostalgic in some way. A small team of counter-terrorism against a cell of truly evil people. "G.I.Joe - A new strike force to counter a new threat!"

That might sell...?! Maybe. But I suppose we will take what we can get.
