My initial excitement over having new Joe cartoons ended with the final episode Saturday night/Sunday morning. Up to that point I was happily along for the ride. It was cool to look at, Cobra Commander finally got some balls, and Duke was actually heroic. I realized all along that the story line was about as deep as the stories I acted out with my own Joes as a kid, but I liked that aspect. What really lost me was the ending.
The final web episode seemed to promise an end all, be all assault on Springfield with every single Joe battling every last Cobra. Isn't that what they said was going to happen? Instead we get a bunch of planes and helicopters flying around while a transport plane makes a hard landing in the middle of a potential firefight. When that plane opened up I expected to see Joe vehicles and troops pouring out to fight, but instead there was Duke, Scarlett, and (maybe) Flint, I couldn't be sure. They stood there taking fire while missles warmed up, presumably to destroy the plane, only to have Snake Eyes appear from nowhere and apparently destroy the entire Cobra Army in one fell swoop of his sword. The movie ended and they didn't even have the guts to kill Cobra Commander, or at least have a few Joes fall in the battle we can only assume was going on off screen. What the hell happened?

So after Zartan got killed, I basically lost all interest for this reincarnation instant deathbreak of a revival for G.I.Joe. Absolutely horrible...while I can attest that the animation is top notch, all the glittery anime style drawings in the world could not save a badly written plot premises. Why not just have a nuculear holocaust and knock off all the joes fo what good this'll do the franchise...as if the soon to bitchslap theaters movie isn't going to kill it enough. At this point it's somewhat already dead, and the movie will just tap dance on the grave, as well as spit on it.
Joe for our times indeed, if this is going to reflect 'our times' and 'culture' in another 25 years, I sincerely hope all that prophetical mumbojumbo over the end of the world in 2012 is true.

Let's just hope in the unlikely event this will be come a series, there is a lot more emphasis on plot/story/character development

While Storm Shadow was my favorite I could possibly move on if there was a strong continuation of in depth story line and deeper charachter building with other joes and cobras. Maybe even bring in some new poeple that are not so spacey or far fetched. . . Good overall thought. . I loved it. . . nice change . . .

I have to say I loved this series, I kinda felt bad when some of the major Cobra characters were killed off, but I hope this comes out on DVD!

I dont know about 5 minute epi's cause i caught an hour long pilot epi on cartoon network and this blew my mind in less than 10 minutes 2 major charecters are DEAD the gijoe team is hit and Cobra has its demands listed. Damn it could have stopped there but it went on and on, And i mean that in a good way even if it gets childish the have a fan in me

I loved it!...Wish the movie was this. I did feel weird that they killed off characters off the bat. I really hope it continues...and I would love if they added NEW characters. That is how I think it should evolve. It did change the outfits but stayed the same. Which I am for. It was awesome....Please keep going. After all Cobra Commander was not found in the chamber at the end.

i like to think of it as e.r. it has a key cast which rotate thru the series with key characters coming and going offering the opportunity to get new characters. i am hoping resolute continues. contrary to my early decisions to avoid the resolute line, i must admit that the cartoon makes me want these even more. damn, they hook you good
