I don't know about you, but I'm
still
looking.
Resolute, to us, seemed like the ultimate win just like the German King Tiger did to the evil army, but it turned out to be an evolutionary dead-end. Resolute is too violent and gritty to be shown on a channel or time-slot that would appeal to kids, and it's a property that's too old and not savvy or self-referential enough to appeal to the late night collage crowd. It's not anime so the other half of Adult Swim's audience won't care that much. The target audience small as it is, are already buying up everything Joe, so you start to add up all that and it's no wonder Hasbro and CN didn't bother going out of its way to promote it.
Without the nostalgia factor, Resolute just wasn't that good of a show, and
nobody
is going to make a regular series just for the nostalgia crowd.
