1989's Operation: Dragon Fire was really good. The 1990 season was horrible. It got goofy and stupid during 1990. One good 1990 episode is 'Officer & a Viperman", The rest of the 1990 season is a goofy failure. The final season (1991) is when they realized they fucked up during 1990 and tried to correct things. 1991 was a much better season with some serious episodes, but ratings had dropped hard because of the goofy mess from the season before.

Great video. Thank you for posting this!

While the DIC series may receive a lot of criticism (not all of it undeserved) it is important ot remember that they were operating under a drastically reduced budget. For me the cardinal sin of DIC GI Joe was not so much the animation (a drop in animation can be forgivable if the stories are engrossing) but rather the drop in plotting. While Marvel/Sunbow GI Joe could be guilty of being formulaic, the DIC series really took a nosedive in this aspect and lacked overall story arcs that could pull a whole bunch of stand alone eps together. Not only that but the plotting often reduced both the Joe heroes and Cobra villains to cardboard cutout stereotypes with very little character development. Having said that, I should say that I actually really loved the "Got to get Tough" theme song. It was new, full of energy, and even today i still think it holds up well. If Marvel/Sunbow had been renewed and gotten the contract for 89-92 instead of DIC they could have used the "Got to Get Tough" theme for a new season and it would not have been out of place. Really cool piece of kids' cartoon music.

I agree 100% with your thoughts. Kirk Bozigian came back on the brand in 1990 and he has lamented the shrinking marketing budget of that era many times in interviews. The G.I.Joe brand team simply had to go with the cheaper animation alternative. When you look at it from a revenue perspective it makes perfect sense: G.I.Joe's high water mark for sales was in 1986, and by 1989 they were selling half the product that they were in 1986. When product is losing steam it's hard to make the case to spend big money on top tier animation.

The last intro is the one I remember. But I really don't remember the episodes themselves (Joe's were on during the time I was 0-6 years old). So I don't know what episodes I did watch. I must have been into GI Joe, since I had both a Joe coloring book and a Joe place mat.

G.I Joe: International heroes! *Shows the Real American hero logo* This dubbing is horrible. I remember in the 80's, G.I Joe was redubbed into Action Force for international markets, but often the dubbing didn't match up with what was on screen. During on episode, Flint left a credit card with a hotel receptionist that clearly identified him as being a part of G.I Joe. Me and my brother (I was 9, he was 5) realised something was up. Then a little while later, my mam bought in some G.I Joe video tapes she got from a pound shop and we were like "This *is* action force. Why did they change the name?" At least with this dub, they kept the name, just changed american to international. Later, we started to question why we had the teenage mutant hero turtles and Americans refered to them as ninja turtles. Dubbing is a weird thing when done in the same language.

So cool 💖😎!

You can tell exactly when copyright and licensing laws got alot stricter looking at these designs. We went from real world inspired [F-14 Tomcat for Skystriker and Grumman x-29 for the Conquest,etc] vehicles to these no particular designs [like that Cobra helicopter looks like a few boxes taped together]

This got to get tough intro kicks ass. Even after all this time

I think I had grown out of GI Joe when they became international heros....

“The Greatest Evil Parts 1 & 2” were the best DiC episodes. Who’s with me on that one?

G.I.Joe rock till 1987! After 1987 they really lost it! Look at the intro's above... The figures look more like astronauts than soldiers, the vehicles look a bit to strange to me as well... For me they lost the G.I.Joe vibe since 1987, I was a very big G.I.Joe fan by the way...

The DiC series is inferior in almost every way, except the intro got a major testosterone injection. This show probably should have been called "A real Canadian Hero" because most of the voice actors were Canadian. In fact, they are the same group of voice actors from Vancouver that you hear in all kinds of cartoons from the 80s and 90s. Just about anything made by DiC, Nelvana, Mainframe Entertainment, and Ruby Spears used that same pool of voice actors. This show had both Bobs from ReBoot, Ocean dub Goku, Ocean dub Piccolo, and Optimus Primal from Beast Wars.

Cobra Commander and Destro were reduced an Abbot and Costello level buffoons. No more Cobra La arc. No more Dr. Mindbender, no more Crimson twins. No more Zartan and the Dred Knox, no Scrap Iron, no Wild Weasel. Instead they give us Naugahyde and Metalhead. At the time Robocop was more Marvel quality than DIC Joe ever was. Turns out the real terrorists weren’t Cobra but the PC Steering Committees that did in GI Joe.

And you can guarantee there’s be a fat empowered Joe who’s just as athletic as Snake Eyes.
