>>>11557241 I like GI Joe better in the cartoon where there was only one ninja.that was so fucking dumb.
Storm Shadow's rival in the cartoon was Spirit, an indian tracker, because Snake Eyes was a mute, who couldn't have dialogue to state their rivalry.
Shit like this is why i never liked the original GI Joe cartoon. It was was so stupid, i knew it was retarded even as a child.
>>11557220GI Joe was already following the ninja fad from the 70s/80s, before TMNT even existed. TMNT itself was following the ninja fad from the 70s/80s, because that's also what Daredevil was following, which TMNT was satiring.
GI Joe becoming Snake Eyes focused in the 90s is what led to the ninja force being created. I don't think there was a resurregence in ninjashit in the 90s until Power Rangers came out in the mid-90s, which was 2 years after Ninja Force was created. The early 90s was all about superheroes, so maybe Hasbro likened ninjas with superheroes and Snake eyes was the closest thing they to a superhero? Who knows.
