Topic	Were you a fan of the g.i. joe cartoon movie from the mid 80s? Spoilers?
FortuneCookie 02/05/22 12:10:03 AM #20:	The thing about G.I. Joe: The Movie is that the plot focuses on mutants from a lost civilization. That's not exactly the first thing one thinks about when you mention a military-themed cartoon show. It feels like they took a planned pilot for a series about Atlantis and shoehorned in the G.I. Joes. The plot to Transformers: The Movie may be that a larger, deadlier robot has arrived to destroy the Earth, but that's an extension of the basic premise of the show. A larger robot fits in with a series about robots fighting robots. Turning a show about American heroes battling terrorists into a film about the military battling mutants is a deviation from the central premise. It still works. It's just not the best fit. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:962378583] in Were you a... [t:79884843]...</cite> <quote>The thing about G.I.
