Don't worry about that Kenny, there's been a few posts in this topic and plenty in previous ones about the art not being to everybody's liking, but that doesn't bother me. There's plenty of artists whose work I don't enjoy, so it'd be ridiculous for me to expect everybody to like mine.
The only reason I decided to speak up is because there was mention of the story or dialogue being bad, and since I know for a fact that nobody here has seen a single completed episode, me included, that bothers me. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but I don't think that you can have an informed opinion about a show, especially the plot and dialogue, when all you've seen is a few 30 second clips. On a positive note, it seems like the last clip turned a couple of people around, or at least picked their interest, so I guess we're doing something right But hey, thats their perogitve if they want to just copy other material they have done in the past instead of trying to revolutionize the Joe brand and cartoon to sell its toys (IE Gargoyles/Batman Forever etc etc), but they better be ready for a backlash if it is not well recieved as Hasbro has already aknowledged that by keeping the figures realistic vs. cartoon stylized. Joe has taken enough bad press in the last few years with ROC+Operation HISS as it is and now Renegades has a huge potential to weaken and further divide the collectors (especially on this board). This show is going to be thier new flagship to sell thier toys and I just wish if they had to go this route they could also provide other facets of thier collector base a continued opportuity in Resolute/25th ME style/ That would help weaken knee jerk reactions to drastic universe changes and the division impact would be lessened. But when you shove this kinda stuff down some ones throat and say "here, this is your new Joe just accept you have no choice" don't expect everyone to just fall head over heels in love with anything with the GI JOE name on it. There was great potential here, but the clips have shown me enough to know what to expect the course this is going, from the stance of subtle things like subdued Cobra sigil to the religious overtones presented by the Adam and Eve apple concept protrayed in the current Cobra teaser. That in itself was a definitnve and huge turn off for me seeing that... Last edited by CrimsonGuard101; 11-18-2010 at 12:31 AM.. |

For what it's worth. Has anyone else noticed that the new Cobra sigil, is also vaguely reminiscent of the greek symbol Omega? You know, "The End"?
Maybe I'm reading into it, but it seems like a pretty deep, and slick way to incorporate their true purpose into their public facade, seeing as they are really a doomsday organization mascarading as a benevolent corporation. Things like this give me VERY high hopes for this series. Black Friday CANNOT get here soon enough.

Well Cobra Commander wants to RULE the world not end it...that would defeat the purpose of demanding all the worlds+countries gold, jewles and money to empower him further...hes a mastermind and terrorist leader...not Satan...if he wanted to end the world he could just program his nanomites to kill everyone like in the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still kind of apocolypse...but then he would eb all alone and no one would be there to follow him now would they.

Exactly. He's too busy flipping out about how since it's not a continuation of Resolute, that it's doomed. Not that I hated Resolute, but honestly, we've gotten more quality story and exposition in these tiny little promos then in all of Resolute. Just because the Cobra Commander we used to know wanted to rule the world doesn't mean this one has to. For what it's worth, I'm really excited about this different take on the ARAH characters. It'll be nice to see them fresh, through different eyes. I love IDW for just that reason, and I'm sure I'll love this. So far, it's shaping up to be an amazingly complex and layered story. If you look at the fact that the "Joes" are split between Joe and the Falcons, and Cobra is now loved by the public, I think we're in for a really wild ride. There's alot of different ways these characters, and organizations can grow and evolve.
