GI Joe Resolute

[Lord_Zed]

While I've been anticipating the GI Joe live action movie, I have to say I've been evern more keen to see the new GI Joe Resolute Cartoon series which was promised in prieviews to be closer to the comic than the previous toons.

And now finally the first 3 webisodes have been released and in my opinon they do not dissapoint. Two classic 80's characters dead in the first episode, wiping out an whole city, No holds barred ninja stabbing and Cobra Commander is actualy scary. It certainly a long way from previous Hasbro tie in cartoons.

Best GI Joe cartoon ever and its only 14 minutes long so far.

Why can't Hasbro give us something like this for Transformers? Would've been way preferable over Animated. (-_-) I would've even preferred something on the level of The Clone Wars which is more kid-oriented than what GI Joe Resolute appears to be, yet less cringeworthy than Animated (IMO).

Here's hoping Hasbro will do something like this for the next TF series now that we know that they're packing shop with Animated.

haha, your comment nailed it Gok

I quite liked this. I would prefer this over the movie, an ongoing series would be more interesting than a 90 minute movie.

If GI Joe Resolute becomes successful, all the arguments of Transformers being a kid's toyline, while true, would become moot because G.I. Joe is also a kid's toyline aimed at the same demographic market!

Just so long as the series doesn't drag on with endless chase scenes and boxhole TF continuity into some awkward dead end like turning Cybertron into a giant garden.

It's quite an unusual move for Hasbro to allow its creation, they've even made a handfull of figures for it. I suppose they were all swept with GI Joe fever during the 25th Anniversary. As has been said It does seem in every way the antithesis of Transformers Animated

Beyond being more mature, its starts of with things already established rather than rebooting the GI Joe universe entirely,and seems to draw a little from all continuities, though particularly the comics and all of them Marvel, Devils Due and even a little IDW it could almost be a continuation of any of them....almost.

However, this cartoon is not, in fact, aimed at the same demographic market.

Also, I fail to understand the maturity of this cartoon, which from the comments here appears to stem mainly from buttloads of people dying and Cobra Commander being scary.

Of course, maybe I should actually watch it.
