After watching all of Resolute, I found it to be overall an enjoyable experience, with a few exceptions. While there are plenty of things I liked / loved about the show, there are tons of threads gushing over Resolute, with very little in the criticism department, so I figured I'd go ahead and speak my mind on some of the things I didn't like.
For starters, the deaths. If this is to be more than a one off deal they killed way too many important characters. Major Bludd and Bazooka's losses were indeed disturbing, but killing Storm Shadow and Zartan makes no sense to me at all. That is, if they ever intended to go any further with Resolute to begin with.
The second thing that bothered me was a particular line where Duke said "We're going to kill Cobra Commander"...Woah, Slow down soldier. Don't you mean we're going to stop Cobra Commander? I'm all for killing terrorists, and the line may have worked for any other character, but I expect Duke to be a tad more professional than that. For the most part Duke's dialogue was much better than our dear Commander's, but this one line really came off as sinister to me. And like I said, I'm all for killing, torturing, and performing unwanted sex changes on terrorists. I just didn't like the line.
And then there's Destro's voice. It blows goats. Probably goats raised in the fields of Scotland. Here's a tip, when trying to do a scotish accent, please don't conjure the spirit of the still very much alive Sean Connery. It just sounds stupid.
Other than that, I think it was mostly good. Duke was a bit of an ass hole, and they needed to show that he cared a little more about his Joes, but I'm glad Scarlett is with him and not the flying squirrel. I also enjoyed Tunnel Rat a lot. He almost stole the show in the short amount of screen time he had. Anyway, those are my thoughts. What say you?
I agree with your points, especially about Destro's voice (I said the exact same thing in aother thread) and about the Duke and Scarlett pairing. I always liked them together better than putting her with Snake Eyes as it was in the comics. The deaths were disturbing to me as well, as since overall Joe is a fantasy there's only so much you can take it into reality without pissing off fans with character deaths. Personally I've always hated reading the letters pages of the comics with letter after letter from people wanting to see more major characters killed rather than just troops from both sides. Well, the problem with that is that out of 1,000+ characters somebody is someone's favorite and there's always room to expand on any character and if they're dead, well there goes all hope for character development. That's why imo only greenshirts and vipers should die.
