I saw part one of the arashikage storyline. I just don't get why hasbro (or every writer in every continuity outside the Marvel comic)continually has to reduce stormy down to a plain ol dirt-bag bad guy out for revenge. Sure the circumstances are altered some this time around (and not too badly either), but the whole dynamic of SE and SS having been really close friends is lost. It makes SS more one dimensional. This was the same in the movie. For me one of the key attributes to the SS character is his inner turmoil, the conflict inside him. It makes him more interesting. But I guess that's expecting too much. 
You're comparing the original comic run versus a kids cartoon or 2 hour movie. The level at which the comic was written and explored the characters can never be matched by a 22 minute/13-52 episode show, or a 2 hour movie.
Also, some fans need to stop with the "ARAH IS THE BE ALL" attitude. It is the same thing that was going on in the TF fandom for the past decade or so. This is new and different. Don't like it, fine, but stop saying it isn't as good as the original run when they are apples and oranges.
