Break-Up, Hardy Boys New Casefile #2

[SDLagent]

Frank and Joe are a tad different in Season 3. I have to rewatch the 90s series to comment on that one. It's a rainy/snowy day...maybe I will go do that.

But anyways, Frank and Joe were less of a team in the last series. I felt like they went off on their own more. They were mainly together but worked solo more often. At least that's how it felt to me. Not sure why that was. Maybe it was trying to show them growing up?

I think they were just trying to change things up. Kind of backfired, I guess.

As for the GN plotline, I am super excited. Of course I don't want them to hate each other or be permanently separated, BUT it's different. It's taking the stories, their relationship, etc to a whole new level. It's not safe to say yet if it will be done correctly and fans will embrace it. However, I am really looking forward to finding out.

Btw, does anyone know how the books are going to line up?

Book 1- Crawling with Zombies
Book 2 Break up
Book 3- With ND or a whole different title?

Also, in a fight between Frank and Joe...who are you going to root for?

I don't think the third title will be a crossover but I could be wrong. Maybe it'll be a two-part crossover. That would be a first!

If it's not a crossover that means HBs will have a separate Book 3? And ND's third book happens to be the crossover?

[SDLagent]

Yeah, I think so. This is book three of the Nancy Drew series.

Hmm, interesting. Definitely one way to make me buy a ND GN. Oh well. I will do it for the boys.

LOL wow! I need to get that book!

[MacGyver]

Whoa- definitely sounds pretty interesting. But I hope this thing doesn't last too long- I honestly don't like seeing Frank and Joe at odds like that.

[JoeHardyRocks]

I think Joe could definetly beat Frank up though

[MacGyver]

Hmmm- I don't know. Frank has some great martial arts training though.

[JoeHardyRocks]

Well whevener Joe goes crazy in the Casefiles books, it always says that Frank knew he couldn't stop him......

[MacGyver]

True. I'm not sure if Frank and Joe are portrayed exactly the same in the Undercover Brothers continuity though- I think Frank and Joe are both portrayed as being about equally strong and athletic... - but Joe has always had that wild, impetuous side that seems to give him a little extra energy sometimes.

[JoeHardyRocks]

When Frank is thinking clearly, he probably could beat Joe up... But if Joe was angry, well, he usually lets his emotions get the better of him and he'd probably just become this mindless person...

I want Joe to beat Frank

Well whevener Joe goes crazy in the Casefiles books, it always says that Frank knew he couldn't stop him......

Well, in Brother Against Brother Joe had the element of surprise on his side. Plus, he thought Frank was killer so he was fighting like his life depended on it. Frank, on the other hand, was not.

OMGOSH I am SOOO glad I just pre-ordered my copy the other day!! I keep checking sites but didn't come across that. Thanks for sharing!


The only thing is....fighting over whose fault it is could be a normal brotherly thing to do. That's not totally crazy of a concept. Going under the assumption that they are at odds for more than just that, it does sound like a bad thing.

But I blamed my little sister all the time but usually after she blamed me first. lol

Have they actually come to blows or is it just with the criminals?
