It's just not the same

yeah

BTW: Six Sigma is a corporate program used by many companies to increase efficiency in the workplace, eliminate redundancy redundancy redundancy redundancy, and find ways to essentially put more money in the pockets of rich bastards who already have too much wealth and power.
So it's fitting the names are almost identical, and that the Joes work for the UN - Doing the dirty work for some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world.

"It has this juvenile feel that the old stuff just didn't have. Despite episodes with giant vegtables, ghosts, alternate worlds, and mechanical sea serpants, the old cartoon had a more mature feel."

What the hell are you talking about? The original series was just as lame, it's just that the new one is a different kind of lame. Don't make me form a list.
Of course, you're probably bound to like it less because the part of you that the original appealed to has grown up, and it now probably takes a lot more to get you hooked because you no longer have as strong a connection to that part of your personality. Ever notice how all the "grown ups" almost invariably hate the new versions of the stuff they once loved? That's big reason why. That, and also because it reminds them of what they lost about their childhood, and that they can't go back.
Reminiscing is powerful that way.

I'll tell you exactly why I hate the new series:
I was staying with a friend for the weekend, and I woke up early. I thought, "Let's see what Saturday morning cartoons are like now."
I started watching this series and thought, "It's Anime, or American Anime, or whatever, so it can't possibly be that good. But I'll still watch."
Then, I see this little white dude try to blow up a door with about 40 pounds of high explosives. The result was little more than a scorch mark that would annoy Cobra Commander's interior decorator.
So some token black strong man (because black guys can't possibly have intelligent roles [/sarcasm]) gives the little white comic-relief guy a speech about how explosives won't win the day, and how it takes a more "finesse" or some sort of crap.
So the black guy's knuckles emit a green light, he charges the door, and punches through it on one blow.
There's all sorts of things wrong with that. The old one was lame, but that little scene proved the new one to be downright stupid.

I immediately turned the channel... after checking out Scarlet and The Baroness' Jailbait ass for just a moment longer.

Its cuz they're using that stupid japanese animated design.
The original characters looked like Americans.

If there be a god...than hide from him our most evil enterprise!

I just got done watching an episode and I thought it was actually really good.

I only have vague memories of the old GI Joe, so I can't give a very accurate comparison, but Sigma Six stands on it's own as good cartoon.

First off, Cobra Commander seems more true to life to his dictator role. In the old GI Joe, I remember him being a 1-dimensional "crazy bad guy." Now, he's a charismatic leader, but not a great strategist. In the episode I saw, he ignored his military advisers and instead opted for an all-out assault, which reminded me of Hitler. Of course, he paid for it.

The robot designs are really slick and the way the 2D artwork is given a 3D feel through computers looks really nice.

The episode I saw maintained the tension the whole way through. It managed to pack a ton of action into the 23 or so minutes it was allotted.

I didn't get to see a lot of Snake-Eyes, but he looked cool as ever and he's going to clash with another ninja in next week's episode.

So anyway, stop hating. It's unfair to say that anything that doesn't invoke your nostalgic feelings sucks.

I was not im[ressed with this show. When I finally had the chance to get a saturday off of work, I thought to myself "yeah finally get to see what kind of saturday monrning cartoons kids nowadays watch. When I was a kid, we had Ninja Turtles (the new show is pretty good) Batman the Animated Series (new show is garbage), and GI Joe (this one is pretty bad). I loved the old GI Joe shows, even the enviromentalist show that they had out was pretty good... but I hate the japanime feel to this. I only saw one episde where Snake Eyes and his pupils were being trailed by Stormshadow, and the entire show consisted of choppy fight scenes. Why did they include Mechs? This isn't Gundam Seed. I don't even recal seeing Cobra Commander or Destro... my two favourite baddies, not to mention Serpentor... loved that mini series when he was created from history's greatest bad guys. But this just leaves a sour taste in my mouth, one that makes me not want to turn it on should I see it on the guide list.

I like the new theme song but the show SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The show is awesome!!! Just because the style changes, doesn't mean the heart of the show changes! Also, the team will have more fan favs coming up, like firefly and Grand Slam!!! Also, this is a revamp, just like Batman Begins. People were skeptic about that movie too, but then they warmed up to it and look at it now! BTW Scarlet is hotter in this version, Baroness too. And most of the costumes look cool, maybe better than the fatigues of the classic!

YO JOE!!!
