I don't mean to nitpick but the last episode of Renegades had some historical inaccuracies. First The Great Master's kimono is worn wrong as it is suppose to be left over right not right over left. Right over left is only for burials. And when Jinx spoke Japanese in a mid english sentence she pronounced purinsesu like pu-rin-se-su instead of pur-in-se-su. Also how old are Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow? Seeing as how Renegades takes place in modern times than they must have grown up between the 70s and 80s. It looks like the are living in ancient feudal Japan and not a busy industrial 70s-80s Japan. Not really big deals but its always a plus when a show stays accurate in their representations of other cultures.

It's too much like the A-Team. I'm trying to like it, but it just doesn't seem right at all.

The CGs look cool thats really all there is to it. Who cares what color they are, no one played "realism" with there over fantastical joes anyway, if you did you were way to grown up for toys to begin with and should have been hanging out with the high school seniors in your neigborhood and not home playing with toys.
I like the way they have a military dress unifrom as it was unique aside from Gung Ho or The IGs. Everyone else was just regular military types. The crimson red was also a key for as i love that color with gold black and silver accents like they had. Thier unit crest is also awesome and compliments the cobra sigil perfectly. Until the CGs appeared we really did not have an "elite" guard force. They were also later expanded into the Shadow Guard wich I wish they would revisit (POC hinted at them but they always come up short thanks to retail over ordering of wave 1 and revision sets that have saturated months before). As for the twins, you already know they are going to be similar from the bios for Renegades, if not worse given the "fantastical mental powers" they will now poses. I am sure they will find a way to make them MORE annoying then they were. I didn't ever really see them as the actual leaders of the CGs, to me they were just more the fiscal face of the CG program in military and civilian duties at Extensive Enterprises, kinda like the political/propoganda wing. Their acrobatic concepts were a really cool abstract to everyone being LAME ninjas and being ninja experts in all martial arts. It's like all the fighting games where a person was a very skilled acrobat and evolved a fighintg skill from those skills unmatched by anyone who could not counter it. They were simese twins and shared a mild telepathic link that has been studied in real for a very long time which added more uniquness. I hope renegades does not make them like the new mindbender, some tweaked out drug induced morons...and I hope the CGs get to appear, even if they come back as the Shadow Guard. |

I was going to post my opinion on this, then saw it had 73 pages already. I can't read all that. I can't post on that. 73 pages for a cartoon. I don't know what to say. Maybe I already said it.
