[edit] Canon

I don't see how the comics are any more canon than anything else. If there's anything from Hasbro stating that the comics are more canon than the cartoons, the filecards, or anything else, I'd like to see it. Until then, there's no reason to say the comics are canon.

The comic books were originally written by the same guy who wrote the filecards. As such the two are inter-linked. For example, when Storm Shadow became a Joe in the comic books this was reflected in action figure line. But when something such as Grunt being left in an alternate dimension in the cartoons happened it was ignored by the action figure line. The comics are clearly cannon (especially over the cartoons). 24.178.211.155 17:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

One of the ways of determining canon, in any literature, is by asking "which came first?" The comic began being published a full year before the cartoon and Larry Hama has mentioned that the "real" story is what he was lisenced to tell via Marvel comics. A couple years ago, I met one of the editors from the Marvel days who told me that Marvel was licensed first, then Sunbow. He said that the cartoon was pitched as a half hour toy commercial, whereas the comic was to be the "story." These items of data sway me towards saying the comics are canon and the cartoon, while entertaining and fun, was fodder.Medleystudios72 (talk) 02:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Snake-Eyes & Scarlett

I think we should at least tell the story of how Snake-Eyes and Scarlett fell in love in the comic book story. It's a very touching story.

I just wonder what makes Herb Trimpe's story in the last paragraph noteworthy. If any, I think the lack of romantic relationship in Sigma 6 is more noteable! --SCSI Commando 04:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree! I'm pretty surprised somebody keeps criticizing Sunbow. --Destron Commander 04:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rank

An "E-5" is a "Sergeant", not a "Master Sergeant" which is "E-8". Which is she?

I'm afraid rank has become less of an issue as the series went further on. --Destron Commander 05:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

E-8 Master Sergeant, I remember correcting it in two places a few months ago, someone must have reverted. She is senior to Snake-Eyes. Nicht Nein! 06:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lucidity, precision, and comprehensibility

Regarding Snake Eyes: "he has never met Scarlett, but he is in love with her" It is difficult to claim the accuracy of both of these statements simultaneously. Perhaps someone could rewrite and re-frame this information in a manner that is not inherently contradictory. Alternatively, perhaps someone could explain to the reader, who does not already possess in depth knowledge of the storyline and esoteric thematic development, the metaphysical justification behind such a paradox. Either course of action would be enlightening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pseudobadger (talk • contribs) 18:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Siblings

So Devil's Due's "Scarlett Declassified" finally confirmed that the 3 brothers exist in the comics, making them official in both licenses. But what of Scarlett's sister, Siobhan? She showed up in the Marvel comics after the Baroness injured Scarlett. Shouldn't the sister be named among the family? Medleystudios72 (talk) 02:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
