        That Sucks. I Don't like what they did with Cobra Commander. They took an Amazing character and made him suck

          >the makers of the movie felt the hooded Cobra Commander made them uncomfortable because they felt it was too KKK.

          So.... they're afraid of negative image reprocussions for the bad guys, or they're afraid of offending the Klan....?

          People are SOOOOOOO weird....

                >why get upset about it 20 years after the fact?

                Well.... I'm not really upset; but I think it's a shame that EVERYTHING has to look the same. I'd love to see the old pseudo-military looking guys, it was distinct. 'Course the ORIGINAL GI Joe stuff from the 80's sorta lost it's way early on. And then they had day-glo ninjas.

                Having been a kid during the 80's I am SOOOOO sick of ninjas. Having been an adult during the 90's I'm pretty sick of black leather bodysuits too.

                  >cartoon's not bad either

                  Y'know.... I kinda thought it as okay too; but they were trying WAY too hard to Japan it up, and at a time when there were already a lot of Japanese cartoons available doing similar stories, but better. So it sort of got lost in the flood.

                  I think it'd be neat if, to be different, they made the Joes look kinda like army guys. "GI Joe, a secret miltary organization with the least opressive dress cose in the world."
