Edwin/Lifeline is a character I need in my G.I.Joe Classified collection. To me he's an important character to the Joe Team as he's the medic officer and the "heart and soul" who cares deeply for his teamates.
I wasn't a big fan of Lifeline as a child, i mean a militar who doesn't believe in violence but while growing up you change the perspective about life and as a aikido practitioner myself I started to feel more sympathy for the character and understanding him, great video man, looking forward to see the next
"Conscientious objector" lol his first picture in the opening literally has him holding a gun. I guess they thought kids wouldn't think he's cool or something. He's definitely one of my favorite figures though.
@@BrotherDerrick3X 1. Blasphemy is wrong. 2. Read Lifeline's bio: he is an Aikido master. 3. GI Joe faced the Hulk (and the Avengers) way back in the 80's: "GI Joe Special Missions." 4. Hulk met Lifeline in "Apex Legends."
@@BrotherDerrick3X Yes they have. I am in my 50's. The 70's and 80's had crazy team ups. Superman fought Muhammad Ali. Lobo fought Wolverine. The original female Captain Marvel was black, reconned later. Hulk faces Lifeline and GI Joe in the 80's, Lifeline threw him. Hulk faces Lifeline in "Apex Legends": one can search that on TH-cam. Facts. Also...respect is advisable, and Proverbs has words to those that stiffen their necks to reproach and correction.
I feel to many people slack on Lifelines cartoon counterpart unfairly. People say he's annoying and a wimp. I feel the only reason people say this is just because he's a pacifist. I actually really like him in the cartoon and he dose have really good moments. Dose anyone remember when he gave that speech to wet-suit when they were trying to save leatherneck in the episode my favorite things? That was a really good moment. He also had good appearances in the episodes the most dangerous thing in the world, the million dolor medic, and second hand emotions. People being a pacifist doesn't make you a wimp nor a coward it can make you the strongest person in the room at times.
Strange how certain people on the internet will go after people who don't do anything to hurt anyone, yet they are totally fine with people who are complete jerks who treat nice people like garbage.
@@BrotherDerrick3X What you just described isn't even a pacifist. What you described was a wimpy selfish coward there is a huge difference between that and a pacifist. Also sometimes when someone challenges you to a fight and no ones gonna get hurt walking away is the best option. If someone is being beat up then you need to stop them.
Does his pacifist/conscientious objector demeanor a cartoon creation that was carried on to comics and later figures filecards or it was planned from the beginning as this? By the way, I always ignored that pacifist trait when playing as a kid.
If he doesn't want to take a life then why does he have a pistol? Medics in the US armed forces have carried weapons since Vietnam You can wear goggles over sunglasses and I used to wear prescription sunglasses before the days of transitional lenses. I'm just saying, maybe his sunglasses are prescription
I’m tired of the pacifist medic trope. Combat medics go through the same basic as everyone else. We throw grenades, qualify with rifles, and are exposed to machine gun operation/care. Yes, medics are discouraged from using weapons of mass destruction, but we certainly can carry weapons to protect ourselves and our patients. We are soldiers first. No pacifist would make it through SF training, never mind into GI Joe. And that bright red uniform? No way. I had red-handled trauma shears on my kit and got blasted by my first sergeant. Also, combat medic training is only equivalent to EMT basic, not paramedic. They should have made Lifeline a physician assistant.
Well, tell that to Desmond Thomas Doss. The literal embodiment of this trope in real life. And likely the man who inspired it. As he was a World War 2 Field Medic and never carried a weapon into battle. Yet he ran headlong into a firefight to recover and treat injuries. For his brave actions in saving lives during war. He was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Good luck explaining to your command why you didn’t shoot back at the enemy. There is a reason why, on deployment, you are issued enough rounds to fill your magazines. You are expected to use them when necessary. But I guess things have changed. It’s your military. Do what you like lol...
@@cowpuddles4851 A Military Medic, specifically the Army 68W, straight out of AIT is NREMT-B but can still perform advanced procedures under Military protocol. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, New York State relaxed it's Protocols. Navy's Independent Duty Corpsman function differently but may not necessarily be NREMT certified. Depends upon which Service/ Branch/ Component they are part of.
R S I think Sneed was Army, and yes, we are allowed several interventions that are above the Basic level. Regardless, the physician assistant can do far more than the EMT, and actually grew out of the SF medical training program. Lifeline would have been better cast as a PA. Perhaps because PAs were not around in the 80’s, this option was not available. Maybe he could have been a nurse practitioner?
We need a ton of Lifelines in the world today ✌🏾🌍🌎🌏🔭
Very cool, and GI JOE is something that America needs more of right now.

I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new movies online ?
Where did you find a good aikido instructor? So many of them are full of "bull-shido" nowadays.
@@dubuyajay9964 I was lucky enough to have great instructors in aikido who also knew other martial arts
@@lennyalcina4340 Thus I asked WHERE they were.
Lifeline: "Hey Low-Light, does it ever occur to you there might be an easier way to settle disputes?"
"Low-Light: " Yeah Lifeline, it's called a gun."
He shares a similar characterization to first aid from transformers. Both seem to have been inspired by Desmond Doss.
"Conscientious objector" lol his first picture in the opening literally has him holding a gun. I guess they thought kids wouldn't think he's cool or something. He's definitely one of my favorite figures though.
This is the video I've been waiting for since I started following your channel. He's my favorite character
I had the first version of this Action Figure. Great stuff here. Keep it up 😎🇨🇦
Man love these videos GI JOE was 1 reason i joined the military at 17 been in almost 20 years Keep them up
Lifeline was once portrayed as an Aikido master. Distinctly remember him flipping the Hulk, redirecting Hulk's force against himself.
He did no such thing to the Hulk. I don't give a God damn how much aikido he knew. Plus they never met.

@@eriksturdevant6857 no they haven't. Was your ass even born during that era?
@@BrotherDerrick3X Also, Hulk faces Lifeline in the "Apex Legends" video game. Yes, one can beat Hulk with Lifeline.

Lifeline was always included in my adventures as a kid. Guess even then I understood the value of a good medic.
Love these videos. How about Grunt or Kwinn next.
Very entertaining
Great video full of information which I always enjoy keep up the great work
I wonder if this character is based on Desmond T. Doss? His background sounds similar to Lifeline's.
Lifeline's father made Gandhi look like General Patton.
I can't get enough of these videos! Keep em coming!

It may not make you a coward or weak being a pacifist, but it can make you a fool.

@@jakeproven256 turning the other cheek only gets you a broken jaw.
@@jakeproven256 oh was that comment for me? I was saying that to get in a situation where you won't fight back even to save your own life is foolish.

Ok that's all fine and dandy but the pic on his file card shows him clearly holding a pistol?
My favorite
Can you do dial tone next
I been watching the GI JOE live stream on youtube
Another codename: The Lifesaver

In the comic, he was a black belt in Aikido.
Just bought him mint on card the 1986 figure

Are their any LGBQT Joes?
@ Ted B. Not yet. But it is probably just a matter of time.
