 Alright, live waiting for our first viewer, which hopefully will come soon. Let me get this URL really quick. Posted on Facebook and Twitter while we are waiting. Hey, cool! Hi, Ronald. Hi, Green Yeti. Hey, Mezzed Up1. How you doing? Hey, you guys were just, like, ready. You were... Hi, Green Yeti. Oh, thank you. Hi, Isaac. Hey, how's it going? And Dennis, how you doing, sir? Alright, let me see if I can get this URL really quick and post it on... Yes, Delvis, Hoodie Coco. There are worse nicknames, right? Alright, well, I'm glad you made it on time. Hi, John. I wish I was having spaghetti. That sounds pretty good. Alright, how can we do this here? Thank you, Pensive Ruan. I appreciate that. Yeah, Hooded Cobra Commander is... Yeah, I think that's my favorite, too. I mean, I like the Battle Mask Cobra Commander, but the Hooded Cobra Commander was always just kind of special. There's sort of a mystique about it. Hold on. Okay, the parts for the Joes I sent and a Cobra Driver. Okay, cool. I'm just posting this really quick on Facebook and Twitter. We'll only take a moment. Oh, Green Head, you're 13. Oh, cool. I'm glad that you got into it. Hi, Jeff. Okay, alright, we are in business, and okay, I'll keep this here because it'll be easier to moderate if I need to, but there we go. Alright, now I can give you guys my full attention. I'm going to give it a few minutes and when everybody gets in here, I will start a topic because I wanted to talk about the G.I. Joe movie news. There is some G.I. Joe movie news. I'm really, really glad you like it. Oh, greetings, Netherlands. Greetings from the United States. It seems like everybody can hear me okay. Thank you for watching Cobra Convergence 3, Matt. I was pretty thrilled with how it turned out. I'm really happy with it. Everybody seems to, all the participants seem to be happy with it, so I think it went alright. Thanks, Victor Franco. I'm glad that you're liking it. Yeah, the movie news. I don't know, I got some thoughts about it. Hello, Anne-Marie. Well, you don't have to be exactly on time. We're still going. You don't have to be here exactly when it starts. Yeah, Green Yeti. That's what I wanted to talk about and I'm hoping the next movie is good too. That's really more important than anything. But I had some thoughts I wanted to share about the specific movie news and in general my thoughts about the G.I. Joe movies and what they can do for us and what maybe they can't do for us. So, yeah, I wanted to discuss that once we get a few folks in here. Hello, Maryland. That's your name, Justin. Justin, hello, Justin in Maryland. Well, I appreciate you showing up, Green Yeti. I'm glad you're here. This is cool, Anne-Marie. You haven't missed anything yet. Well, no, not about the 87 movie, but we can talk about the 87 movie. Hey! All right, that's Mrs. HCC right there in that comment. I may need to ban her. She's a filthy mouse. You wouldn't believe the kind of sailor talk we get out of that lady. Hi, Rob Dogg. Jen won Red Alert. How you doing? And I'm glad you liked it, Pensive Run. Obviously, that's a little bit divisive. And I did last year promise to review that movie this year, and that is coming up. It's on the schedule, so watch for that. If Ice Cream Soldier is in it, you'll watch it. Well, you know what? I think we need to start lobbying the movie studio now to get Ice Cream Soldier in there. Hey, ODC, that's me. Hey, I was able to catch your live stream, and now you catch in mine, so awesome. Next time I see one of your live streams, I'll try to stay longer. I was just taking a break because I was shooting and doing video stuff. Thanks, Anthony. I'm going to do my best. Next movie needs new 80s theme. Yeah, you're not the only one that thinks that. That's been suggested. I don't think we're going to get that, though. So looking at what's in the realm of the possible, maybe we can still get something that's good. Yeah, support of the toy line, that's going to be a tough one. And I think, man, I don't want to be pessimistic, but, well, Toy Galaxy, a while back, put up a video... Okay, hi, Evan. Toy Galaxy put up a video kind of saying, where is GI Joe and what are they doing with this brand? And I thought that was really good and interesting, and I was thinking of doing a follow-up to it because I had some thoughts about it, but then as I was thinking about it more, I was starting to feel more pessimistic about the future and how Hasbro is likely to handle the brand. And I thought about what a downer video that would be to respond to that, and so I ended up not doing it. I mean, I don't want to be a downer, and I don't want to be the one who poops everybody's ideas. But hopefully we got some positive. I do have some positive thoughts, so we'll talk about that here in a minute. Hi, Josiah. One thing that I think everybody's got to keep in mind about the movie, not just this GI Joe movie, but any movie that's based on a property or some other kind of entertainment brand that's being translated into a movie, is that there's a difference between what I would like to see and maybe what the really dedicated fans would like to see versus what would appeal to a broader, wider audience. And those aren't always the same thing. There's some crossover, sure, but there's a risk that if you don't appeal to a broad enough audience and the movie doesn't make money, then you're just never going to get one again. And the way the earlier GI Joe movies performed, I mean, they did make money, but they made, I think, a little bit less than what they were hoping for. So we're in a precarious position right now. Well, I'm glad to have you on board, Yeti. Sorry, now my dog has decided to bark. Netflix, the idea of a Netflix show has been floated around and actually I think that's not a bad idea at all. But I think what a lot of us older GI Joe fans were thinking for a Netflix show would be an animated show. And I think that might be a mistake. I think a live-action show would get a lot more attention. And also give you that, hey, JJ, would also give you the ability to build an ongoing storyline, which is something that GI Joe kind of needs because there are so many potential characters to draw from, storylines to follow. It's hard to do that in a movie or even a series of movies, but an ongoing series, I think, would give you that opportunity. But if it were an animated series, my worry is that there wouldn't be enough of a draw. A live-action series, I think, something along... Alright, always go back to what Marvel's doing. I don't want to copy what Marvel's doing, but there is a certain appeal to the live-action Netflix Marvel shows that gets people's attention. And I think something along those lines might work for GI Joe. Yeah, Resolute was great. I really like Resolute. I own a copy now. I actually ended up getting two copies because I forgot I had the other copy and I wanted to watch it. And then I got another copy and I could have watched it. But even like a Resolute-style series, I just don't know that it would have a broad enough appeal. And what I would like to see is to see GI Joe sort of brought back into the popular consciousness as something more than just a novelty, but sort of a relevant past. Something that's relevant, you know, something that will appeal to someone so that somebody, you know, new people, new young people just knew anyone can discover it and learn how great it is. Not have Destro and the Baroness in the last one. Yeah, it's hard to have GI Joe without Destro and the Baroness. On the other hand, they kind of painted themselves into a corner because they had kind of a lot of villains and a lot of characters to juggle. And so if they had given us Destro and the Baroness in that movie, I don't think they would have done them justice. I don't think it would have been... You probably wouldn't have liked it. So, yeah, I'm just making sure... I'm outdoors again because this really is the only place where I can talk to you guys without a lot of interference and noise from people doing stuff inside. But we've got like wasps out here. It's...anyway. Yeah, Transformers. But Transformers is... Transformers got a lot more name recognition and a lot more social cachet right now. Hi, Brandon. But, all right, let's talk about the specific movie news that we've got. What we got is what they're trying to do is essentially a second sequel, a third movie, bringing back the rock. And the story that I read, they wanted to make the... Well, they're calling them the Corsican Twins, but basically the Crimson Twins as the villains in that movie. Which is an intriguing, interesting idea. I think a lot of us were expecting a reboot. Maybe hoping for a reboot so that we can kind of refresh. Hey, Karowak, how you doing? Yeah, the first two movies weren't especially well-received. I think the second one was... received a bit better than the first one. The first one is...it's pretty rough. I rewatched it not that long ago because every once in a while I start thinking, well, maybe it's not as bad as I remember it. But then I watch it again, and it is actually as bad as I remember it. And, you know, obviously some people will like it. I mean, I have friends who had nothing to do with G.I. Joe, but thought the movie was cool and they were wearing, you know, snake eyes and Baroness costumes for Halloween. And that's cool. If you're getting non-G.I. Joe fans to pay that much attention, you know, that's great. But the movie itself, though, is pretty rough. And the second movie, after re-watching it again, I think it was better. It still had some problems. It still had some problems that it's hard for me to get past. But it was better. There were some elements that felt more like G.I. Joe to me. And then the first one, there just wasn't a whole lot that seemed like G.I. Joe. It was, I mean, there were the characters and some of them sort of looked like what we remembered. Most of them didn't look anything like what we remembered. They didn't act like the characters that we know. And it was pretty rough. Hi, Nyquist. So, whatever we think about, whatever we think the movie should be, there will be what we actually get. So, what we actually get looks like it's going to be a sequel, a G.I. Joe 3, with different villains, but with the rock returning as Roadblock. Okay. But then there is this talk of a Snake Eyes solo movie. And Bruce Willis. Yeah. Honestly, Bruce Willis, I won't say he was exactly committed to that role, but you put Bruce Willis in a movie and it gets butts in seats. That's just a fact. Hi, Bradley. How are you doing? So, Snake Eyes. That brings us to Snake Eyes. This idea of a Snake Eyes solo movie, and I'm actually more optimistic about that. Because if you're going to get G.I. Joe back into the popular consciousness, then I think Snake Eyes is a way to do it. Because you need a cool factor. And Snake Eyes has that. I mean, just right off the bat. And from the very first time he was introduced back in 1982, I mean, that all-black figure was special. And then you put an interesting storyline behind it. And then you've got something. There has been some worry about the fact that the character doesn't speak. The character wears a mask. You can't see his expression. But, I mean, these have not been problems in other movies. And I think that what that allows people to do in emotions the filmmaker wants to imbue that character with using film language. Hi, Eddie. The Vietnam crew in the movie, possibly. Something like that. I mean, if you were going to set the movie in the 80s, you would take it all the way back to Vietnam. I just don't think they're going to do that, though. So I know that's what a lot of people want, but I'm just not focusing on that because I don't think that's what we're going to get. And, you know, as long as it appeals to, you know, as long as it brings in new fans and gets G.I. Joe back into the popular consciousness and makes G.I. Joe cool again, that's my priority. A series fleshing out the characters? Absolutely, absolutely. And maybe if this movie is successful and makes some money, maybe that's something that can look at down the line. I think the movie would have to be successful, though, to make that feasible. So, yeah, live-action, silent, interlude, something like that. What I was thinking of was that I almost wish that they could that they would release the Snake Eyes movie first. Establish that character. You know, give his backstory and, you know, get that cool factor going and get some buzz that you can carry forward into a G.I. Joe movie. And then, you know, continue Snake Eyes story in that as kind of like the B-plot in a larger G.I. Joe movie. Yeah. Okay, thanks, John. And I could be wrong and this is why I wanted to discuss it with you guys. I just wanted to share my thoughts about it and so like modern Dunkirk. That was, yeah, something with that feel and modern, like you say. It could be, it could be something special. But I am doing my best to stay optimistic but also realistic about what we're likely to get and I can almost I can guarantee you we are not going to get a G.I. Joe movie that's going to satisfy all of us, like all of us that have been fans forever. I don't think that's possible. One reason why not is because people like G.I. Joe for lots of different reasons. Hey, Mike Lopez, the C-Ray. Thank you very much, sir. I actually did open it and I've got a video of the assembly that will be up on Sunday. Thank you. I really needed that. That was really good. Anyway, the toys, I do want to get back to the toys. I do. But I'm trying to set my expectations here, right? I'm trying to cross my fingers and hope that we get something truly great, but I'm also trying to, you know, set my expectations and kind of think about what they're likely to really give us. What are they going to invest money in and what are they going to think is going to bring in people, get people in the movie theater and what that is may not exactly be what we would all necessarily prefer. But I'm at peace with that. I'm okay with that. I've said before that, you know, my G.I. Joe is from the 80s. I have that and nothing can take that away from me. They can't ruin that with a movie. I have mine, so they're not damaging me, no matter what they do. But but if they don't necessarily have to please me, then what do they need to do? What do they need to do is make G.I. Joe cool again. Make it special. Get that in front of people so they can see how amazing it is and kind of kickstart that next generation of fans. That's what I want. That's what I want. But anyway, I thought that if they did make a G.I. Joe movie first and then led into a G.I. Joe movie, it might work better because if you put Snake Eyes in the broader G.I. Joe movie with an ensemble cast and lots of different characters. Hello, Brazil. Welcome from the United States. If you do that, then there's always a risk of Snake Eyes just being relegated to background character. Specifically because he doesn't speak and doesn't have the he can't see his face and all that. So a solo movie for him I think would do a lot to help build that character. Oh, hey, Aqueduct Entertainment. Yeah, I needed to respond to your message. So I'm sorry about that. I'll get to you. I apologize. Been a little bit hectic. Yeah, Delva, something similar to that. Something that will lead into the broader G.I. Joe story is what I would like and what I think would work. A solo Storm Shadow movie. Well, that's an interesting idea. And if you did that, it would almost work just as well, I would think because you would get your Snake Eyes in it. You can't really do a solo Storm Shadow movie without touching on Snake Eyes as well. So that's an interesting idea. So toys. Let's talk about toys. Best case scenario. What's the best case scenario for toys? Yeah, Ripcord and Heavy Duty in the first movie. I just, you know, already talked about Rise of Cobra. If I get started on that, you know, I've got some triggers. I got to be careful about that. But the toys, the best case scenario would be that we would get some movie toys. They would get some popularity and maybe get in the hands of some kids. But I'm a little bit pessimistic about that. Well, I get the movie toys. I'll have to think about that. I'll consider that. I do want to support the brand, but then I'm not a modern collector so I don't know. But what I feel like is we will get plastic. We will get some toys. But I have a feeling it is mostly going to be for collectors. And I think the reason for that is that kids go for the plastic like they used to. They just don't. You know, whether you think that's good or bad, they just don't. And when I look at what's on the toy shelves, it's easy to do now that Toys R Us is shutting down in the United States. But when I look at what toys are selling, it's stuff for little kids. Or like toddlers and maybe a couple years older. And they're like the only ones playing with plastic right now. Yeah, the six inch, they did try the six inch shows. That was what didn't work. Yeah, so I worry that for those expecting to get really awesome toys and great vehicles and everything like that, I just don't know if we're going to get that. I do think we will get toys, but I think they will be along the lines of what we got for the 50th anniversary line. I think it will be more stuff like that. And it will be for collectors and obviously it won't be in Toys R Us in the United States. But it will probably be something along those lines. And that's fine for collectors of modern toys. But if your hope is that it will bring in kids, I'm more pessimistic about that. So again, I'm setting my expectations. And my expectations are fairly low. They don't actually have to try too hard to exceed those expectations. And some of you may feel that I'm being pessimistic and you're probably right, but there are a lot of unanswered questions at this point. And it's almost dangerous nowadays to try to make a movie based on a property that has a built-in fan base. Because some of those built-in fan bases can be pretty nasty and ill-behaved and very, very hard to satisfy. That's not going to be me. I'm just not going to be one of those people that's impossible to satisfy. I'm just not going to do that. And whether I like the movie or I don't like the movie, it's the criteria is going to be is it going to get G.I. Joe back into the popular consciousness? Is it going to get the butts in the seats? Is it going to turn on new fans? And I care a lot more about that than getting a movie that I individually would like. Wow, that does sound pessimistic, doesn't it? All right, well, there's some time. I think they were talking about a release date in 2020. So there is, sorry. The dog wants inside. Time out. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll be right back. Hey, come on. Okay, all right. And I'm back. Lowered expectations. Yeah. So those are my thoughts about the movie. I'm going to give them some space to take some risks. I am not going to be excessively critical. I will be completely honest about whether I like or dislike the movie and the reasons why because that's just what I do. But I'm not going to be one of these rabid fans that's going to start ripping my shirt off and want to grab the pitchforks and torches if they don't give me exactly the movie I want to see. So I've got to give them some room. I've got to give them some room to take some risks because it's going to take... Sorry, guys. I'm losing connection every once in a while, so if I phase out, that's why. Sorry. Netflix on G.I. Joe. I really think that would be ideal. That's not what they're talking about right now, but I would love for G.I. Joe to make it to Netflix as a series. But I think the only chance it has is if the movies are successful. Both the G.I. Joe movie and this live-action Snake Eyes movie that they're talking about. Those movies really need to need to do well. To have any possibility of anything like a Netflix series. And a Netflix series, as everybody has pointed out, you're exactly right. That would give you the opportunity and the space to tell a longer story and to develop those characters and to develop a storyline. I think for me the worst-case scenario YouTube Premium Good Job on Cobra Kai Something along those lines could be good. I mean, not like that style. Obviously G.I. Joe would be a different style. But with that kind of care and good writing you could have something. Justice Curry, what are my thoughts on him? I mean, I've seen some of the stuff that he's done. I don't know that I have any other thoughts on him. He's got a nice collection. But it is I don't really follow him. So if there's any like anything new about him, I don't really know. Yeah. Yeah, oh yeah, there's that extensive Enterprises van. I'm actually kind of not kind of far away from my hotspot. So I'm glad that I can get some connection at all. So yeah, so crossing fingers that we get something good. For me, the worst-case scenario would be something like the Michael Bay Transformers movies. And I know a lot of people like those movies. But come on. Pensive Ruin, the idea for Cobra Convergence. I'll talk about that here in a second. The Transformers movies were really shallow and not much more than an extended music video with some explosions. And I mean, yes, people went to see them. Yes, they were popular. But they are known now to be pretty bad. I think you would have a hard time finding somebody who would agree, hey, those were good movies. So that's what I hope doesn't happen. I don't want a Michael Bay-esque G.I. Joe. Especially considering that, I mean, G.I. Joe is at least our, you know, 80s and 90s G.I. Joe has always had, I think some really weighty subject matter. It's had a lot of intelligence behind it thanks to Larry Hama. And it's always appealed, I think, to kids that were inclined to appreciate things like historical references and, you know, real military references and all those things that they threw in there. It appealed to kids who like that kind of thing. And so you can do more, I think, with G.I. Joe than just have explosions and guns and stuff. You can do so much more. And if they reduced it to something like Michael Bay Explosion Fest, I think you might sell some tickets, but I think that that's all you would have. I think a reasonably popular movie that would not get the penetration into the social consciousness that I'm hoping it would have. Having Larry write the next movie would be a great idea. I don't think they will do it, but I wish that they would because I think he could. I think he could do something with it. I think he could do something special with it. The idea, somebody asked about where Cobra Convergence came from. I think they had Larry as a consultant on the first movie, On the Rise of Cobra. He didn't listen very well. He ended up having to choose his battles and fight to keep them from making Snake Eyes speak. He fought that battle and made sure that they understood that those Snake Eyes cannot speak. You cannot have him give it like a silent Bob monologue at the end of the movie. You just can't do that. But yeah, he was a consultant on the first one and that's the worst one. I don't think he was a consultant on the second one. But I think having Larry involved in general will always help your project. Talk to Larry. He knows what he's talking about. I think for the most part those are my thoughts about the movie. Oh, hello Paul in the UK. Hello to the United Kingdom from the United States. Ray Park I think would be great. He is Snake Eyes, right? Even though he's behind the mask he's able to use his body language to get to act. He can act with his body which is not easy to do. Not everybody has that skill. Hello IconicBlood666 how you doing? I did want to talk about how Cobra Convergence came about because somebody asked Cobra Convergence started was actually the second year of Cobra Month. I think the first year I had the channel I had done a whole bunch of GI Joe team reviews and I hadn't looked at anything Cobra for a while so come July I decided to do an entire month of Cobra the entire month of July so I did that about four years ago and then the following year I decided it was going to be an annual thing so we're going to do the second Cobra Month but I wanted to do something to make it more special so I had sent some messages to FormBX257 and Timmer actually here's something that you can go back and look at if you feel like it Timmer used to do a Q&A every once in a while when he didn't have time to do a full review and in one of those Q&As I asked him if he would ever be interested sorry interested in doing a collaboration with another GI Joe reviewer and he said that he would and I was like okay good so I will message Timmer and then I sent FormBX257 a private message asking if he would be interested as well and I was happy that they both agreed that they would and then we started planning and so that became the finale of the second Cobra Month was this kickoff of Cobra Convergence which was the three of us just me, Timmer and FormBX257 so that was Cobra Convergence and then we decided to we decided to make it an annual event and then make it bigger each year you know so that's kind of how it came about it really started as an extension of Cobra Month but I was very fortunate that Timmer and Kevin agreed thank you Pennsylvania I was really thrilled with how Cobra Convergence 3 worked out I was happy with it I hope everybody else was too I know this is not going to be everybody's thing because not everybody enjoys the events and the collaborations and I get that but on the other hand that is kind of what we do on this channel so if you don't like collaborations and if you don't like big events then you may be in the wrong place because that's what I love to do I love working with people I love working with Kevin I love working with Timmer and plus I love their work I love their channels and everyone that was brought in this year they all have exceptional work on their own but every year there are always some people that I wish I had brought in I wish I had been able to get but they weren't included so every year I keep thinking oh man I wanted that person in so next year next year there are going to be more people but I'm also going to try to organize it better make it easier to follow and make sure it's promoted better so everybody kind of knows what's going on so next year it's going to be better I think in every respect I'm already working on ideas I think you'll find it very easy to follow but also have a ton of content to watch thank you ODC that's me I'm glad that you liked it and yeah I want to try give me some time to work on it but I want to try to find a way to get more people into the convergence a way that it'll be organized now so that you can follow it better every year is a learning experience and one thing that I learned from this year is that organization is important and it's important that you guys have an easy way to follow it and know what's going on so got some ideas got a year to work on it stay tuned and Yeti if you want to join next year give me some time I'm not getting it ready quite yet but we're going to work on it just give me some time give me some time we just finished the Cobra Convergence 3 so we'll work on Cobra Convergence 4 Hail Cobra but Yeti I'm glad that you're here Hey, it's JoFan82 Speaking of Cobra Convergence a veteran of Cobra Convergence 2 Mr. JoFan82 Hey, is MG Villain in here? Oh, there's that guy Hey, nice to see you Kyle, I'm glad you like the comedy bits I enjoy doing them I get complaints all the time but I don't care because I'm going to keep doing them because, again, this is what I like to do and hey, I'm my own boss on this channel nobody can tell me I can't do it so I'm going to do it Yeah JoFan Hey, JoMotionVideos82 Byron I'm glad you like C3 and I did get your email that you sent and I replied to that email but I'm glad you're doing a little bit better and I'm glad you're out of the hospital at least Man, that was rough but I'm glad you're around Hi, Andrew Thank you Yeah I had some fun with the Killer Whale review The ExoSquad mech suits in one of the animated series Yeah You can find precedent for a lot of things in GI Joe that may not necessarily translate to a movie so if you're going to go back to source material you have to be a little bit selective and think about the tone of your movie and, you know, what kind of story you want to tell because GI Joe is so vast that it's not practical to fit everything into a movie, it just isn't so, yeah, the mech suits that was they were just in there, right? they were in there and they were gone just to have them they didn't really do anything they didn't add anything to the story Hey, Max Rebos, Ghost Music, how you doing? Hi, Mike Hi, Aaron You know, these live streams have been fun for me I don't know how they look when you play them back because it'll be me responding to a bunch to you guys, so the conversation may be a little bit hard to follow but this is fun for me I'm still getting used to having this in the routine doing this weekly as a pencil ruin, I thank them all the time myself so Susan and my two girls have been very supportive it would not be very easy to do this without their support excuse me Hey Javier Gonzalez, made your blood good to see you thank you Josiah you know, and your support has been great, it's been overwhelming I have to be careful to you know make sure that I express to you how important your support is sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the routine and there's a lot of work that goes into doing these reviews every week, but when I look at you guys' comments and the messages you send to me it's hard to it's hard to be too down because there's just so much positivity some of the things that you don't see in some of the private messages that are sent to me the personal stories that people tell me are just, I mean it's very humbling and so I want everyone to understand that I appreciate all of your support and I just appreciate you being here what do I do for a living? I'm a lawyer I'm in public service so I'm not the rich kind but that's what I do that's Evan, hi Evan but you said I could call you Yeti too so that's what I'm going with because I think Yeti is and I'm using name new role at work gotten easier, not really I'm still going through the transition right now so it hasn't gotten into full swing yet but it will soon it's kind of sinking in and it's kind of not what I would have chosen but we will soldier on one thing that I took from another YouTuber that I watch when he gets negative comments and any channel of any size gets negative comments what happens but one thing that we have to do as creators is to remember to do it for the ones that love it do it for the ones who truly appreciate it, don't do it for the haters you can't let that get in the way of this interaction that we have together with everybody who enjoys it and I want everybody to know that I'm not doing the show if this is something that you'd like to have continue I will be doing this work for you and I'm not going to change the show to satisfy somebody who don't like it so if you see negative comments, hey I don't like this I don't like that those aren't the folks that I'm listening to so I would feel like I would disrespecting you guys if I were to listen to somebody who's just coming on to complain about everything he doesn't like so that's not how I do things yeah there's some negative comments and negative private messages it's alright I think the danger of doing this kind of thing is that draw a cabbie I hope I said that right yeah you are exactly right I can't let one or two haters outweigh everybody else those thumbs down on youtube I can promise you I don't pay any attention to those so if somebody don't like something gives it a thumbs down they're outnumbered so yeah I think one of the dangers of doing this kind of thing on this side of the camera is that as part of the process you kind of make yourself vulnerable by creating something and then putting it out there for the public to see it's risky it makes you vulnerable to criticism and to even attack sometimes so when someone who does that I think naturally thinks and worries about the reaction and so when you get the one or two nasty comments those tend to stand out more because those are the ones that they always tend to try to pick at things that you know you're already a little bit insecure about that's what trolls do they're really good at that but we're not going to change the show to satisfy people who don't like it and we're going to keep doing the show so let's let's just have some appreciation I have appreciation for everybody who's along for the ride and does enjoy it the Joe reviews winding down will I do anything else I don't know I've got several years before they wind down I've got a lot to review I've got so much so it's going to take a long time to finish those I have some ideas for what I might do after that but I'm uncertain sometimes the idea of like having this as a complete project and kind of this sort of time capsule once it's all done and completed the entire work the entire project is self-contained and is out there for you to enjoy there's something that appeals to me about that but on the other hand I do like doing this and I think it would be kind of hard to stop it would be hard to just not do it anymore so the answer is I don't know but fortunately I have a few years to think about it and decide what I'm going to do well we're closing in on an hour already man time flies I am going to try to keep these at about an hour so I'll be wrapping it up in the next 6-7 minutes but again you guys showed up and we had a great response I'm really enjoying these live streams a lot more than I thought I would I didn't do anything live like this so this is kind of new for me but it's kind of fun it's really cool sponsored by actually was drinking a Pepsi but not out of the bottle so it's sponsored by hideaway pizza how about that yeah maybe you too won't even exist by then you never know it's the internet things change fast making a DVD of the reviews actually I have thought about that you know and I actually sort of even got started on a project like that but and I got too busy and I couldn't finish it but yeah the idea I had an idea of like bundling the reviews together like a whole year of reviews but giving them some new introductions and maybe editing them a little bit better especially those old ones that are pretty rough so that they're a little easier to watch and more presentable and maybe release that as a DVD so you would get something new not just the same stuff that you watch on YouTube and I think that would be fun the idea of having like my own DVD of my own stuff is really neat but I just got too busy and I couldn't get around to it man I got my own t-shirts I mean that is so cool it is I'm still kind of like giddy about the fact that I can make t-shirts of my own thing and you know and I can put these videos up and people actually watch them this is very exciting for me depending on repros and customs why you think some people are so upset because well especially for what I do it's important to have the original item and some reproductions not all but some are so close to the original item that it makes it hard to know if you've got something authentic and you know for some people authenticity matters and authenticity kind of matters to me too but customs though are a different matter having a custom is something that is often pretty fun and can give you a customized toy can give you something that was never released before you know you could never get you know in the vintage run like a Tiger Force Star Duster you know because that didn't exist well you get a custom of it and you can have like anything you want and that's kind of cool thanks Brandon MoBat Tank Custom thoughts on the new Star Wars movies oh I like them so far I've enjoyed all of them yeah Joe Fan selling them as originals and that's the problem even if the person who makes them and the person who initially sells them doesn't intend to sell them and pass them off as original down the line somebody might do it either being dishonest or made it just not know that it's a repro so yeah 3D custom printing that's something that 3D printing has really taken off in the last few years a forum on the website it does have a forum I have to confess to not checking it very often on hcc788.com there is a forum but I've just been too busy to check it sorry Star Wars Classic toy reviews in the future or GI Joe comic book reviews I think it's more likely that I do the comic book reviews than Star Wars I really like the old classic Kenner Star Wars toys I actually really would enjoy reviewing those but keeping with the channel's theme I really want to get back to doing the comic book reviews in fact I was hoping to find a way to do that this year it seems less likely now with the changes that are happening with my job and I'm likely to be a bit more busy and I'm less likely to have I'm less likely to have the spare time to do it so the comic book reviews are something that I'd really like to get back to anyway it is about one hour and I'm sorry I know I didn't get to everybody's question I apologize but I'm going to try to wrap it up I'm going to try to keep these to about an hour would I Max Reavos ghost music would I review the GI Joe Sunbow cartoon series I would have fun doing that with the comic book reviews I just have to have time to do it but actually have access to most if not all of the sunbow series and I've gone back and watched a lot of them and some of them are pretty funny so I would enjoy that well we got 101 people in here here I am about to wrap it up and I got a hundred people watching but I am trying to keep this at an hour so I will try to wrap it up GI Joe Resolute yes I saw that and I thought it was really cool thanks everyone for stopping by thanks everyone for watching the videos thanks everyone for enjoying GI Joe thanks for everyone for your thoughts about the movie and the news that we've gotten about it I'm going to let you go and let's do it next week right same time same station and thank you all for your support and I will see you soon
