Comic or cartoon
« on: February 15, 2004, 04:00:13 PM »
Ya, ya, ya, this thread was locked on yojoe but.....

So which one do you prefer or which one shaped your GI JOE universe?  Mine is the cartoon as I didn't follow the comic books as a kid.  I didn't know they were out.  The cartoon got me hooked onto GI JOE as that was the purpose of the cartoon (a 30 minute ad).  WUTV 29 ah the old days.

My friends and I were into roll playing so we made our own universe!

We were forever invading Cobra Island....so some comic influence...but other than that it was all hack and slash....people always died...and we played it over and over again....from the begining....lots of fun reallly!!

I lean forward towards the comic. I especially loved the DD series when Brandon Badeaux was pencilling it, it all had a sophisticated style that's rarely seen in GIJoe.

A bit of both.......
The Cartoon and Comic (for me) seemed like different stories.
The Comic was the 'ongoing' story, and the Cartoon was 'mini-stories'.

After watching a few of the Episodes on the DVD set now, I think I actually prefer the Comic version of Joe....

Still...... as a kid watching Duke and Scarlett flirting, and then reading about Scarlett and Snake Eyes..... well.... I had my own ideas about her then. ;-)

I'm with Pete...

the cartoon was my "canon" when it came to joe. I never read the comics - in fact, until I have the complete Marvel run I won't read them ... so you can say the Cartoon is *still* my canon.

Granted, I have been following the DD comics, but they aren't as ingrained into my head as the cartoon.

The only exception is the Duke/Scarlett SE/Scarlett thing.  Even though I'm a cartoon guy, SE and Scarlett just make way more sense as a couple.

Turned into a major flame war.

"You're an idiot if you like the cartoon" "The cartoon is WAY better moron"

that kind of thing.

You can't have a civil discussion on most message boards, especially yojoe's message board.  The King of Canada mentioned the reasons why that topic was locked.

Hey Pete, you're an idiot for liking the cartoon. Loop you're an even bigger moron for liking the comic. Mike, you're the biggest moron of all for liking both.

Anyways... with that out of the way, for a REAL canon, check out http://individual.utoronto.ca/gijoecanada for the true story of G.I.Joe.

Comic all the way. Seeing as how Larry Hama wrote all the FCs and every ish of the comic and the creators of the cartoons blatantly disregarded all of that work, i just can't view the cartoons as having any sort of official part in the story. Don't get me wrong, the cartoons are fun and i really enjoy them but the were pretty much fluffed up 1/2 hour toy commercials and to me, therein lies their charm.
