THE POP EXPOSE ‘Is G.I.Joe Still Relevant?’ By Mitchell Smith!

Is G.I. Joe still relevant? This is a hard question to answer coming from a die hard Joe fan. G.I. Joe has been a staple in my life since I was able to walk. My grandparents had a handful of the 12 inch figures and I would spend hours making adventures with my brothers when we went over to my grandparent’s house which was most Saturday’s. When I was 7 years old my brothers and I received a good portion of the 1982 line for Christmas and from then on I grew up with…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘G.I.JOE Live Action’ by Mitchell Smith!

I have always wondered where G.I. Joe went wrong when they hit the big screen. It seemed like they had some success, but maybe they should have held to the comics and the animated series more. I love the uniqueness of each character. The movie had every character in the same uniform, but I think what makes G.I. Joeso great is all the different uniforms and specialties. Each character was easily identifiable by their uniform. I would have loved to see some Shipwreck and Footloose, some Dusty and Alpine, and some Airtight and…
