GI Joburg Episode 128: Definitive Snake Eyes
Friday Sep 28, 2018
Friday Sep 28, 2018
Two years ago we added a recurring segment to the show entitled "Definitive Sculpt". In it, we hoped to determine for ourselves which versions of which character are our "go-to's". We got the ball rolling with Storm Shadow and since then we've had our fair share of amicable agreements and devastating disagreements. It's now time to take on GI Joe's most enduring icon, the (mostly) black-clad, (almost always) silent, ninja/commando (or is that commando/ninja?!) - SNAKE EYES.
We also pit the FANG up against the Swampfire up against the Locust in an all-out chopper duel YOU determine the outcome of on our Twitter or Facebook polls.
And we close out with a discussion of our earliest GI Joe memory.
It's a bumper episode so pull some toys down from the shelf and enjoy!

Well Paul, art is meant to be criticized. No artist is truly an artist if they can't accept that some will hate your art. I make a model for Skyrim and I get mostly shit for it and only a few people like the mod. I also did some anti Disney pro SW EU videos and memes and there's not many people willing to stand against the evil mouse these days.

My mom had the garden like a jungle where we lived when I was a kid so we had tons of jungle battles with Joe's and Jurassic Park themes sometimes. There was also a dirt hill we called Monster Hill that would function as our desert.

I remember the Christmas of 97 almost getting the stars and stripes set but I opted to get a Jurassic Park Mobile command center instead. I wish I would have also got the stars set.

My earliest Joe memory is getting the Patriot and Land Attack Cruiser(drone launcher with three seats) for my 6th birthday. I don't know what happened to these toys either. They must have broken and my parents threw them away or sold them in a garage sale. After that it was getting eco warrior clean sweep and my friend Tommy's collection of a bunch of Joe's. A friend also had the Hammerhead that I always wanted. Another set of friends had the 92 HQ and we had so many play throughs of that playset. You guys should get one. It has it's great points and only a few downsides.

Anyone in on the destruction of my favorite franchises isn't in my community. 😎🇺🇸🇿🇦🍻

I'm all about community so long as that community isn't destroying a franchise I love.

They only cast a female as a previously male character to emasculate the fan base. Like ha ha, we made Snake Eyes or Thor or Cap or Iron Man a girl. It's China if you ask me. They own a bunch of our US media now and they make all the toys pretty much. They're trying to tear down the American global supremacy and replace it with a Chinese one. Firefly(series) even hinted at this. I'm okay with strong female characters, u just hate lazy writing of taking previous white male characters and making them POC or women. That pisses me off to no end. It's hypocrisy. Instead of making a new original character for POC or women, they simply make a white guy into one. That's offensive to the fans that don't want them to change the characters AND to the people they're supposedly trying to appease.

I think the butterfly knives could still be considered trench knives because of the handguard.
