:blink:

So your position is basically that GI Joe was not a violent cartoon?  Am I reading your posts correctly?  I know you have not come out and said that but that's the subtext that I am seeing.

I guess I consider 'R rated violence' to be graphic blood and guts.  I don't consider people running around shooting guns and not hitting anything to be R rated.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.  You guys are not total idiots surely that you cannot see the difference between graphic violence and saturday morning cartoon violence.

Turn your brain on please.

No, I can see the difference between cartoon violence and bloody gory violence.

All I was trying to say is that it doesn't surprise me that the movie is ultra violent because the GI Joe cartoon was ultra violent.  It might have been cartoonish (which makes sense, because duh it was a cartoon), but it was still violent.

True but it would still be surprising if there was a high level of death of gore given as those things rarely, if ever, were in GI Joe which seems to me what R rated violence means.

That there would be cool action packed fight scenes...yeah that is a given.

We seem to have a hard time communicating in this thread.

Calling it "ultra violent" is misleading.  Lots of explosions & shooting, but nobody ever dies.  A *truly* ultra violent GI Joe cartoon would have kicked ass, though.  Would have loved to see Destro cap some Joe :)

Hacksaw Jim Duggan would have clubbed the Sheikh with his 2x4.   :menace:

The Fridge would've kicked all their asses combined :contract:

Yep.  Sergeant Slaughter was a pretty cool crossover, but putting The Fridge in there was just way over the top.

Heh, a GI Joe cartoon that resembled the first half-hour of Saving Private Ryan.  :D

Exactly.  Just because there's a bunch of guns doesn't make it ultraviolence.  Ultraviolence should have severe, bloody, random beatings, as well as at least one rape.
