I thought Gi joe was meant to be in the future. Especially with laser rifles and guys like Flash. I'm all for it only if some thought is put in it. Guys running around in Orange like alley Vipers are great targets for Joes. Characters like Wraith are better written and make more sense. Pyhon Patrol well, that's tour call. Some vehicles are hits. like the Hiss or stinger some are a miss. Gi Joe places you as the ultimate critic.As for Alpine's goggle's, maybe they are lase fire nick proof. As for Bazooka guarding serpentor with a rocket launcher. Call DOD!! That's a way to get a man killed. YIKES!!!!
