g.i. joe is the code name for america’s daring, highly trained special mission force - its purpose: to defend human freedom against cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world

Whether or not GI*Joe is worthy of one’s nostalgia or inviting another to indulge that does not share this particular shibboleth (also known as Action Force in the UK and other markets) of shared cultural upbringing is debatable and ought to stand up to that scrutiny in better times and in a pinch but we wholeheartedly endorse what io9 (previously) had to say about how refreshing it was to see a caring and competent governmental-sponsored organisation able to execute its mission not just against Cobra but to protect the environment as well without being hamstringed. In any case, it’s certainly heroic to while away the hours whilst socially segregating oneself in order to save lives.
