I was highly skeptical when we found this but we gave it a chance & we are glad we did!!! If you are expecting that campy 80 cartoon then you will be surprised as well. There are no weak storytelling , great character development, no constant yelling of Yoooo Joe or Cobraaaa!! This is a modern version of the original that is perfect for today. The storyline was amazing, we LOVE the new look of Cobra & how they bring them all together!! Zartan & Storm shadows stories are well done. We have no idea why this was only picked up for one season, it deserved a full run. Yes, there are some flaws but the are easily overlooked. Enjoy the new edge GI Joe.
