Sunbow is a classic. I watched the MASS mini-series last week, one episode per day. I'll look forward to the Sunbow-inspired comic, and I like what Super7 has done with their homage figures, but I'm not sure today's screenwriters could emulate the spirit of the Sunbow canon.
Renegades had a good story, but the animation took some time. Good snow episodes, though, and I like that show's version of Roadblock. Agree on Renegades' story. It's basically The A-Team, GI Joe-Style, and it's pretty good. Like you said, the animation takes a while to get used to, and honestly, I never warmed to their versions of Destro, Firefly, Breaker, the BATS, or the too-frequent use of Bio-Vipers. Some things they did very well, though. I really liked Snake-Eyes, especially after he stole Zartan's bike. Most of the main cast were decent, Flint and LJ being the MPs from The A-Team was fun. Some of the voice casting was fun, Lee Majors' Hawk, Michael Bell and BJ Ward voicing Duke's parents, etc. I liked the Dreadnoks and the Crimson Twins, too, though that may be because those two episodes were super reminiscent of two season 1 A-Team episodes. I like the show overall, and I wish they'd been able to do their planned second season. I actually really like Resolute, too, but I've got a few minor gripes with it as well. Characters not taking cover, the big final showdown only using 3 or 4 Joes...that sort of thing. |

I voted Sunbow but that is the majority of sunbow. 'Arise, Serpentor, Arise' and GI Joe The Movie are worse than anything in DIC except in animation.

Hasbro used to have a streaming channel. Not a ton of content, but it was free. Maybe that Entertainment One company will offer streaming but I'm hopeful that Amazon will have some sort of benefit "when" they release their live-action Lady Jaye series. |

There's nothing pre-Season 2 that I don't like from the Sunbow 'toons. The series, itself, was absolutely iconic. Like so many others, it was the gateway to Joe for me.
But I absolutely loved Renegades as much as I love sandwiches and Bill Murray. Of all the ways that the Joe/Cobra saga has been reimagined since the 90s, Renegades is far and away my favorite. I didn't love the animation, but the story made up for it. I'm still sad we didn't get a second season. |

Renegades spent all season setting up a full-on Joe vs. Cobra war only to be cut down before its time. I still miss it.
Doesn't hurt that it was written by the same team behind Transformers Animated, my favorite TF series as well. (And they're kinda the same show in a number of ways, funny enough.) |
