[GIJOEKAMALA]

That's true they did keep the Scarlet/Snake Eyes romance in there, with a few seconds of acknowledgement (I'm not being sarcastic the passing was that fast) however I think that wantng to bring the show to a new audience has something to do with it. That's what I think the key problem is with GI JOE and so many old cartoon franchises such as Speed Racer, they advertise to kids on their websites, on their dvd releases, on their comic books and toys. Well I can understand why they would do this with toys and comic books as they ARE aimed at kids though adult collectors also purcahse them. What it all boils down to is that kids really couldn't give a crap about a twenty or thirty year old cartoon when they have Samarai Jack and Spongebob, which I think many manufacturers do not understand.
