To be honest, though I liked Nunchuk, I thought what IDW/Dixon did with Ninja Force was pretty funny. I take it they knew most of the fandom loathed Ninja Force(aside from a few designs/characters, like Storm Shadow, et al).

Well, wasnt really expecting Ninja force in this continuity...
...and they killed them instantly... aww...feel bad for the NF guys. Still I get the feeling that IDW is killing unpopular characters just for the sake of killing...like "look, we are really serious and unpredictable. Thats why we kill a lot of characters". I mean they have already killed Jinx, Bazooka, Croc Master, Big Boa, Cobra Commander, Xamot etc... And now Slice and Dice should be this really dangerous duo, but that lasts untill Snake-eyes kills them both. But what I like is that all the Ninjas seem not to be linked to the same clan...Snake-eyes is, but Stormy, Slice and Dice are still a mystery (although Stormy most likely will be) and NF were "only" students... interesting...kinda. |

Ninja Force deaths I see more as a nod to fans if anything. Gotta admit, their costumes look kind of bad ass here, wouldn't mind figures of those. |

Yep, Dixon has become Hama-lyte. No thanks. Worst part is, he's going to ruin Cobra with tying it into this garbage. The fact that there even WAS a ninja force is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I thought it was alright...why all the hate?
Maybe having Slice/Dice as badasses will due the continuity some good, as long as the it DOESN'T end with a simple two-on-one against SE and he wins. I hope that does not happen after all he did get punk'd by a Viper a few issues ago did he not? |

I'm sure Helix will have to come in and save his bacon. She's Dixon's SE. What's not to hate? A character that was already overexposed, and retconned into a crappy character via the ninja principle, just got an entire squad of ninjas, in a military unit. It's supposed to be a black ops military unit, not ninja romper room. Cobra employing SS is cool, both sides bankrolling armies of ninjas is awful. It was awful when Hama did it, it's awful now.

At least Bushido survived, he's my favourite along Nunchuk.

Well I thought Jinx and Chuckles' deaths were handled really well. Both were surprising, but their deaths added to the story. With Jinx, her death was a catalyst for Chuckles going beyond the mission Hawk gave him, and making it his own personal mission to destroy Cobra. His death resulting in not only him killing off one of the big Cobra figureheads, but in some way, completing the mission he set out for himself and one that he was determined to finish.
In that case, seems okay that Chuckles dies. But i dunno, it feels kinda cheap to kill a lot of characters. More even when it's a whole bunch like this, and in such an easy way. At this point, it doesn't seems surprising, nor shocking. It just feels like they're cleaning names and characters. Quote:

It says they're SE squad, their apprentices. It doesn't sounds stupid considering he's a ninja master. For an undercover military group it doesn't sound stupid, it makes some logic. After all the military already use and adapt strategies and techniques of other countries.
