Oh, you don’t like a kung fu guy showing up to a mission in the Arctic with no footwear or a desert infantryman doing a mission in an urban setting with full desert camouflage gear? 🤨

@@konstantinkoverchenko9587 Yes. Like the design and backstories for many of the characters but they went too out there with some of the missions imho

Being a Black/Africana woman has A LOT to do with her awesomeness

@@rebelife922 Touche, IMO she'd be interesting regardless, but you are correct... Her being a black female is a substantial detail that increases the character's appeal.

I think it's more of the fact that Hama made her a Mary-Sue than just a Black Woman.

Honestly Id say that's fair

Got it made!

True. I think of Shooter as a type of 007 code name passed down to a great number of individuals who are expendables. So dozens of people have held the shooter code name, and some have held it at the same time. Like Super Trooper. Super Trooper is a code name some people have had because super troopers are even more highly skilled expendables. If she was an expert I wonder why she didn't pull her sidearm, plus who is to say the civilians couldn't have been disguised Cobra troops, (I know they weren't, but it isn't unheard of enemy troops in mufti) they have entire town and city populations working for them.

Yeah...her death was pretty damn stupid.

This is the problem people might have with her. Hama made her a Mary-Sue.

It is a toy line 😂

Me too. The whole thing is 👎. A bit contrived. I'd rather GI Joe add 22 SAS 🇬🇧, GSG9 🇩🇪, JTF2 🇨🇦. That would make more sense. They had Big Ben, SAS in the 1990s era. I think a 🇦🇺 Army SF guy too.

15-17 if Sparks, General Flagg and General Austin are included.

@polo polo Shes a FTM Trans male, revisionist woke points increased by 10 000!

@@dinomonzon7493 General Austin was never a member of the G.I.Joe team, he was merley an adviser to General Flagg and Hawk, as for Sparks he might not be part of the Hamaverse, because while the story of Shooter is part of the Hamaverse G.I.Joe Declassified dosen't really fit well into the cannon, and we haven't seen Sparks in any of the IDW isssues so Declassified might be part of the Devils Due continuity. But Shooter and General Flagg deffionitley.

WRONG. As far back as in Marvel’s G. I. Joe #1, General Austin was part of the G. I. Joe Team; if you actually READ G. I. Joe #32, “The Mountain”, Hawk is seen telling Duke that “Our Commanding Officer, General Austin is flying down for the ceremony (the opening of the new Pit). In the next issue, #33’s “Celebration!” ‘s splash page,Hawk tells General Austin that Duke wasn’t part of the G. I. Joe Team then, to which Duke replied: “You mean there’s a story about ‘Iron Butt’ Austin I haven’t heard about yet?” To which Stalker tells him that during the opening of the first Pit, General Austin invited the Joint Chiefs of Staff then ‘he found out that none of the chefs or mess personnel had a clearance heavy enough to cater the affair!” General Austin noted that the JCS arrived in full dress , “expecting champagne and caviar. We served them bug juice and cold C rations instead!” In that same issue, General Austin promoted Scarlett, Stalker, Rock ‘n Roll, and several other Joes one pay grade, making them eligible for the Presidential Unit Citation Medal, with Hawk named full Commander of the team and Commanding Officer of the Pit, placing Duke a field commander (Not, as the puerile 1980s cartoon claim, ‘G. I. Joe Team Leader’. And in G. I. Joe #45, General Austin is at the Army Medical Center with Hawk visiting him. Austin’s seen on a video conference call with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Defense and then President Ronald Reagan. He reports: “Mr. President, Mr. Secretary and my fellow officers, due to the severity of my cardiac condition, I am incapable of continuing as Commander of the G. I. Joe Team. I am retiring effective immediately. I strongly recommend immediate implementation of the Alpha Plan.” President Reagan: “I agree.” SecDef Casper Weinberger: “So do I.” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: “Looks unanimous to me.” General Austin: “Thank you. I applaud your keen judgment. Good night.” Hawk: “General Austin, what is the Alpha Plan?” General Austin: “It’s a little something I’ve had in mind ever since we put this team together.” He then gives Hawk a case that holds General’s stars, informing him: “Congratulations, Hawk! You’ve just been promoted to Brigadier General, and you’re now the Commander-in-Chief of the G. I. Joe Team!” And Larry Hama, who, btw, Co Created G. I. Joe (and who, in a letter column in IDW’s G. I. Joe, stated that he considers G. I. Joe Declassified as Canon), replied to a reader that ‘The G. I. Joe Team is n’t set up as a regular unit or they would never rate a 2 star Commanding Officer instead of a company grade honcho.” NB: General Hollingsworth who first appeared in G. I. Joe #53 “Pit Fall!”, was seen as the team CO in multiple issues (G. I. Joe #s 72, 77, 98, 101). And as the DDP series is Not Canon, you’ve obviously just been reading that line. Get your facts straight.

@@dinomonzon7493 In G.I.Joe #33 Hawk did not refer to General Austin as the "comanding officer" in that same scene Blowtorch, Recondo, and Clutch are wondering where the stuff goes and Blowtorch says "The comanding officer and the top sergent are over their so let's ask them. When Blowtorch said comanding officer, he was referring to Hawk. When Hawk was talking about General Austin in that scene he didn't refer to him as a comanding officer. Also I know the DDP issues aren't cannon, when in my comment did I say that they were? The reason I say the Declassified mini series didn't fit well into the timeline was because chuckles makes an apearence and meets with Hawk, but in Chuckles first appearence in G.I.Joe #60 Hawk dosen't seem to know him. Plus the Joepedia wiki dose list General Flaggs faction as G.I.Joe, but not General Austin, same with General Hollingsworth.

The IDW relaunch is the one that's cannon. The image comics were gonna be cannon but were rectconned out when IDW took over.

This is nothing like Salvo. Shooter is her own original character based on the appearance of the name in the first issue of GI Joe. They made Salvo a fat Black woman. How is that a service? Give someone a hand me down character or create a compelling character that's new? Hmmm, it's not hard to do. It's the bigotry of low expectations. Companies resort to using a known name and swapping out the appearance. Barely any faith in creating a new strong character. It's pitiful that our world is $hit now.

​@@williamthompson5504Samoans are Black?

Are you referring to the “curse of ham” (which is nonsense for a couple reasons), or something else ? Either way, There are those who perpetuate the racist myth that Black people were enslaved because Noah cursed Ham. But they have forgotten that the first king after the flood was from Kush (=Nimrod), “and the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon” (Gen 10:10). In other words, ibn Ezra claims, all Kushites cannot be destined for slavery since powerful Nimrod was descended from Kush. Not to mention the fact that Ham, Shem, Japheth, etc. there’s no way they could have all been separate “races” and certainly none of them were “white” no one even close to what we understand as “white” lived in that part of the world during that presumed time period.
