GI Joe going more leftist
>Mediocre news for fans of GI Joe! Hasbro is planning to reboot the franchise as part of their goal of creating a Marvel-like shared universe with all of their toy and game properties, according to a profile in the LA Times. Sadly, the company has failed to learn any good lessons from the middling performance of the last two GI Joe films, which took the campy 1980s cartoon and turned it into a boring, modernized generic action flick with heavy helpings of military porn. The solution, according to Hasbro: attempt to modernize it again, this time with a “millennial approach.”>“The world has changed, and I think you’re going to see GI Joe changing with it,” said Hasbro exec and person with a name that would fit perfectly in a 1980s British arena rock band Simon Waters. “There’s going to be a much more contemporary approach to the whole franchise, and that will allow us to develop different characters.” https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/03/28/hasbro-planning-gi-joe-reboot-millennial-approach-still-doesnt-understand-franchises-core-appeal/The comic already has Salvo turned into a fat brown woman. The writer is an SJW who has said guns scare him and that politics and "diversity" will be big in his run.
