History Headscratchers / GIJoeRenegades

*** Creator/LarryHama hates being called Japanese-American because he is something like a third generation American. He said that so many people feel the need to include the hyphen and somehow that implies he isn't a full American. And then he is treated like he should be wearing a [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Japanese flag bandana]] at all times, which is the cultural hostility that was mentioned. My understanding is that the relationship between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes is his AuthorAvatar, one representing his ethnic heritage and the other representing his nationality. Both are awesome badasses and in several continuities the two become BloodBrothers / BashBrothers after they straighten out their rivalry. MightyWhitey isn't always UnfortunateImplications, but might actually be the point. Their story usually goes that [[spoiler: a third party is the one who killed their Master, so ''both'' were in the wrong for blaming the other.]]

* Since using ATM machine and credit cards would make it easier to track the Joes, they probably just use bills. So where do they get all that money from to pay for their expenses?

* Snake-Eyes being [[spoiler:a blond white man Headscratchers. It reeks a bit of MightyWhitey, especially given that the native character is the bad guy, and Snake-Eyes had to run off with the cute little heiress]].

* Snake-Eyes being [[spoiler:a blond white man JustBugsMe. It reeks a bit of MightyWhitey, especially given that the native character is the bad guy, and Snake-Eyes had to run off with the cute little heiress]].

* Why is TheHub putting this show "on hiatus" due to a Live Action Movie, despite being perfectly fine having WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime air ''during'' Transformers: Dark of the Moon's blockbuster summer? [[TemptingFate Don't tell me the 2012 movie has "Renegades" somewhere in its title?]]

*** I disagree. There are times when fans respond well to the creation of an original character. It leaves an impression on them, and said character develops a following. Bulkhead from TransformersAnimated for example. Or ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''! They could've easily called Waspinator "Insecticon" or named him after one of the Insecticons from G1, but he got his own name and personality; his popularity saved him from getting KilledOffForReal in the Season 1 finale.
*** Hasbro needs to keep the trademarks of its characters alive, hence using them with characters that might differ from the original portrayal is a way to go. It's done all the time with {{Transformers}}, and a lot of the time they get way more than a minor ethnicity switch. (is Lady Jaye being latina instead of white and not much else different really ''that'' much of a heinous crime against humanity?)

** The original reason for Snake Eyes's ethnicity was [[spoiler:LarryHama, who both wrote the original comics and apparently the file cards that came with the action figures, wanted to make a point. As a Japanese-American, he had encountered some cultural hostility from native Japanese, and so Snake Eyes, along with being based lightly on a real military sergeant he knew, was also used as a bit of an author insert, his way of saying that he had just as much claim over his culture.]]

*** I might have missed something, but ''what'' demands? All the above troper stated was that[[spoiler: LarryHama dealt with cultural hostility for being Japanese-American]]. Furthermore, the entry was more about Snake-Eyes specifically [[spoiler:being MightyWhitey]]. There are plenty of ways to lay claim to your own culture without raising different UnfortunateImplications, especially when they consist of one of the most contemptible tropes among minorities since UncleTomfoolery.

** Because Hasbro execs always treats Joe as the redheaded stepchild because they expect it to perform as well as Transformers do, which is an impossibility due to its subject matter (military rather than science fiction). As much love as the show-runners, toy designers and copy writers give to Joe, ultimately Hasbro's higher-ups treat it like crap. And no, the upcoming live-action sequel has nothing to do with Renegades. DwayneJohnson will play Roadblock and rumors say it will follow on the story threads left following Rise of Cobra, such as Zartan impersonating the President.

* What was the point of [[spoiler:bringing back Ripcord]]? [[spoiler:His death was pretty meaningful (when they mentioned it) and bringing him back feels rather cheap, much like in thw season one finale of ''IronManArmoredAdventures'' with Howard Stark]].
