G.I. Joe: Resolute

[BlackLantern]

Clone Wars just isn't that good IMO....GI Joe is a different animal because the fanbase is different...can they do something that has a wide appeal...maybe...but is it worth the time to do so?

we'll know in a few hours

yes it would be worth it. remember the wider the audience, the longer a franchise can endure/last.

The over whelming majority of Marvel and DC comics have been aimed at a very narrow and shrinking adult readership for several years now, and we have seen the obvious huge negative effect that has had on sales.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yes, but GI JOE as a toyline. Its not like a Marvel/DC universe. GI JOE originated as toys.

The new toys that are selling very well, their largest audience are collector, older figure enthusiasts. 25th Anniversary has been selling for Hasbro better than anything GI JOE in a long time.

Also it doesn't look like Resolute was meant to be anything more than Resolute anyway.

god i hope that isnt the case..this show is fantastic..i really want more seasons

Watched the finale on youtube. Was fairly disappointed with Cobra Commander. Yes, he was more ruthless than previous cartoon incarnations but the way they executed it still left him incompetent. I mean, why kill the messenger? It's not like he messed up and it just leaves you with even less manpower.

 

[TEDDY]

Gooooooooooooo JOE!

 

[terry78]

It was all right.....kinda fast paced. I like how they maintained Tunnel Rat's Jersey-ish accent.

 

[K.B.]

Watched the final and loved it...MORE RESOLUTE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlackLantern]

I liked it....I'd be ok with the occasional 'Resolute' tv movie every couple months

And when those older figure enthusiasts are no longer around to collect the figure, who will be their to replace them? Aiming a product that was ORIGINALLY created for kids/all ages at an adult niche audience is short term thinking.

I do agree with you that RESOLUTE seems to be an entity onto itself and was never meant to be a regular series.

 

[3dman27]

one thing puzzels me duke 's final report had he line "honor reurned to site"
what does that mean?

 

[BlackLantern]

It's an old military term....it means that the site is clear of any enemy activity or facilities

All things considered I liked the final product. It was obviously written to be close to the mid to late first generation G.I. Joe comic. This fact puts it ahead of the previous animated series or the Devil's Due take on G.I. Joe.

I'd definitely suggest that they go after some different voice actors though if they were going to make this into a regular series.

Agreed.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

I thought it was badass. I don't see how they can do a sequel.... isn't cobra dead now?

No body found, remember? (though Snake Eyes has apparently killed Storm Shadow now )

 

[3dman27]

Nope old sack face got away

 

[mr. peasant]

Maybe the Red Ninjas might resurrect him (didn't they do something like that for Snake Eyes in the comics?) or maybe Cobra had him cloned? Or maybe he'll come back as a cyborg (don't hit me. But seriously, what do you think of a ninja cyborg?). t:

 

[Kable24]

I finally got to watch this last night. This is what a GI Joe cartoon should have been. That was some impressive stuff and I could handle the anime vibe because it wasn't that over the top **** that is on Saturday mornings. I was shocked about the fate of Storm Shadow. I want more of these and I want this on DVD.

 

[The Avatar]

I need more Firefly in the Resolute-verse. He can finally be properly utillized now that they're open to showing brutal and deadly violence.

 

[ChickenScratch]

It was great! They need to do more, there needs to be a new GI Joe animated movie every year!

No kidding. He's perfect for this series.

 

[Raiden]

No kidding. He's perfect for this series.

So is Storm Shadow, because they finally show him killing a GI JOE (albeit off-screen).

Spoiler

But they went and killed him off, and that sucks.

 

[Longshot777]

It was just soo rushed!!!


They should have shown all of the Joes on the finale.


Enough of this 5 minute episodes.


And also put a bad a** intro to complement this bad a** animation.
