How to bring back G.I. Joe into nowadays audience? People are

America's Elite and to a lesser extent Sigma Six had what I think is the best set up for the characters. G.I. Joe is a core group of like 6 characters, but for each mission they select ancillary Joes with special skills to accompany them, so each story features popular additional Joes as guest stars.

It narrows the cast down so you can give a shit about the main group, but allows for all the favorite characters to make appearances.

And making them a smaller special mission strike team rather than a humongous conquering army/force helps to limit the military angle people find so off-putting.

G.I.Joe is dead. Forever.

It's a dated concept and can never come back.

It's wasn't even a good cartoon in the 80s.

No. You could make them a UN peacekeeping force and turn Cobra into PMCs in service to generic rogue nations

Without going "totally radical dude" or "space out man" with it all... The original setting works fine. Just poorly executed in todays Airsoft/Military community that would be its primary audience. (that has income to buy non-toys from the franchise)

The problem is that it's geared towards toys. It's geared towards soccer mom children that are curious about the military. ("news at 11, another american soldier rape crime goes unpunished, lets talk about ISIS now")

It has to have the charm of americans versus americans without SJW'n everything like all california made shows are.

Which brings me to a point. Californians generally are hated by gun owners, especially if they live in california. So anything hollywood based will get boycotted by gun owners and following airsofters.

It's complicated, the korean made G.I.Joe show had more going for it. Especially after SK was so gung ho about americans helping with the split from NK.

Sad too, some SJW concepts back then were diversity, and welcomed as "anyone who fights at my side is my brother" concept still stands true today. I bet they would add three gay couples if Cali made GIJOE again.

California, and boycotts are the issue. That and misinformation about how militaries work (apparently Cali writers know only wikipedia) and SJW from todays-california would be terrible.

Please let there be a group in Texas that makes the show... Or somewhere else not cali, with zero people who've been the the west coast or even flown over the west coast.

(its that bad)

It's like I'm watching a person's mind deteriorate in a single post.
