Snake Eyes GI Joe - Blog Posts

Also, just went into the video description to see what's going on in there, and it's only tagged with G.I. JOE, SnakeEyes, and Hasbro, which is really funny to me for some reason. Like -- yes, here is our Hasbro, GI Joe franchise show that is explicitly about Snake Eyes and Snake Eyes only. None of those other characters. How did the marketing department ever think Duke was the main character of this show? Why is he on the front of all the promotional material? Snake Eyes has the best, most clear-cut roll in the intro out of all the main characters, is in the vast majority of thumbnails for the episodes uploaded to YouTube, and is the only character tagged in the livestream description. Maybe I think about this too much, but I am so sure that I am right, and the evidence is piling up. lol.

I see this little guy pop up on my YouTube homepage (or whatever it's called), and it just fills me with such profound joy. Why does it exist? Who knows? Who are these thirty-nine people just randomly watching a full season livestream of an obscure Hasbro cartoon from 2011? Yet again, who knows? But they give me hope nonetheless. Hope that love triumphs over show cancellation, that childhood can be revisited no matter how long ago it was, and that if you build it they will come. Happy holidays, everybody.

Roadblock: Snake Eyes is so nice. He never chooses favorites.

Tunnel Rat: What are you talking about? Snake Eyes always chooses a favorite.

Snake Eyes (Scarlett translating): This is slander. I love all Not-Shanas equally.

It just occurred to me that when Snake Eyes brought the Joes to his dojo in 'The Return of the Arashikage Part I' he probably thought this was going to be their beach episode. Their one moment of bliss. Their chance to learn some actual hand to hand combat. And then instead they got threatened by his adoptive sister and almost murdered by his insane foil character ("the creep in the white jammies" as Tunnel Rat would say). No wonder this man his crippling depression.
