Looked it up. Duke went into a coma and was originally written to die, but the backlash from Optimus Prime dying in Transformers made them change their minds and he recovered. No one ever explicitly or implicitly died in the 80's cartoon. Major Bludd apparently died in 2009 with whatever crappy cartoon is running now.
Has anyone ever gone back and watched Transformers cartoon movie as an adult? If you haven't, do so, and then ask yourself why out parents lets us watch that.
I thought MiB had some entertainment value. Even the second one had its moments. I mean they are bad movies, but sometimes it's good to laugh at something that provokes almost no complex thought. The comedic, scifi movie sequel that I am anticipating the most is the third Bill and Ted (assuming it gets made).
My recollection of GI Joe is every time a jet blew up you'd see two parachutes deploy. That and everyone screamed Cobra.
Bogus Journey left me a bit disappointed. I was cool with it until the alien. The alien was just a little silly. If I ever start smoking pot, I am going to go back and watch it. I am thinking that will improve it.
