He doesn't deserve that much comic-space.

You'd better not start melting Joes with a teaspoon and lighter, then inject them into yourself...

He's a joker, all right. He has to give his jokes 50 punch lines, ya know. "And Humor For All."

As for the Resolute Duke on trial, you know, the more I think about it, the more I think it sounds okay. I guess that if I did it when Resolute had just come out, people would be mad that someone found faults in the mighty Resolute, a gift from above... If they make that Resolute box set that was mentioned before, then I think I'll make that comic. It wouldn't look right with 25th Joes... and I'd have another reason to get some more figures!

I agree with Sparhawk, this comic needs to happen. I love the mighty resolute! Yes some things sucked like Scarlett having her Matrix moments and acting like the baddest bitch on the planet during the whole series and it does suck that she picked Duke. Everything else I loved except that it ended too quick. I hope you do get the 7 packs and do some resolute comics.
Basically, they tricked/mislead us. We were told we'd get a gritty, dark, realistic Joe story with blood, deaths, etc. and no crap like lasers, parachutes, and the like. The first few parts of Resolute were very strong, but ultimately, it fell apart as it progressed. It degenerated into the same crap we got in the 80's cartoon: characters shooting and no one getting hit, weak characterization, bad guys' lack of marksmanship, jetpacks, and surprise surprise, lasers and parachutes. Plus, they threw in the non-canon I-know-it's-from-the-80s-cartoon-but-that-got-it-wrong-too Duke/Scarlett relationship thing. Combine that with Duke usurping leadership from Hawk [where was he, anyway? In Washington getting chewed by the Jugglers?] and making a very non-Joe decision: "We kill Cobra Commander." Wait, what? Maybe you should check with your superior officer, Hauser, before issuing an order like that and then blowing up nice little American town like Springfield. I'm sure Washington was thrilled. Sure, there were some good elements. The new Cobra Commander was very badass, and Zartan was cool too, despite the clichéd "monologue instead of pulling the trigger" deal, and Snake-Eyes' and Storm Shadow's scene was fantastic. The redesigns were for the most part good, the animation was too, and it was really nice to see a bunch of old characters updated, even if it was just for a cameo [plus, seeing Zap's bazooka in the Armoury right before the Flagg was bombed made me smile]. I still hoped that they would have snuck in my favourite Joe greasemonkey. Maybe when Wild Bill's talking about preparing the vehicles, we could have seen a bearded guy fixing up a VAMP. Despite the good intentions, Resolute, at least to me, felt like a fan service that ran out of steam, like they went into the project without a solid plan and ultimate dropped the ball because of that. Needless elements like the "technofuture" gadgets [jetpacks, "supersonic transports," huge command room inside the boat, the sci-fi story involving a doomsday device that unleashes "Independence Day"-like death, the satellite scene, etc.] made me cringe (is modern army equipment not cool enough?), the characterization was terrible in some parts [Scarlett was just awful], and the lack of an ending was inexcusable. Also, airing it once at midnight without much advertising if any really didn't help in attracting attention to it. All in all, Resolute was a nice albeit half-assed fanservice that fell flat. I guess they wanted to give fans something to keep them quiet before the so-called "G.I. Joe movie" crapstorm hit. See what I mean about annoying fanboy opinions? I'm not asking you to agree with me, I'm just pointing out some elements which I felt a lot of fans are quick to overlook. I know it's hard to tear apart something so highly-anticipated (I remember watching the first few 'episodes' on youtube instead of studying for finals), but there ARE things wrong with it, and 'oh snap, new Joe cartoon'-factor aside I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I hoped I would. Rant over. Hate me, ban me, do what you want. I won't be buying it as my hi-res torrented TV-in will be enough for when I need to watch it or clips of it for inspiration for the comic. I gotta go finish another essay, only this one's for school... See you guys on Friday (or maybe Saturday) with a fresh new comic.

I see I opened a big can of worms lol. I don't disagree with what your saying. It seems like it was very rushed. I don't like how they presented it. They did 5 minute shorts for a week and then showed it as a hour long movie a week later. Why not just make it an hour long feature to start with? It gets weird when they keep showing all the random Flagg shots on fire. I would have preferred them to just make an hour long feature even if it went straight to DVD. A good example is the animated movies Marvel has been making. The 2 about the Avengers and the Hulk vs were awesome. Resolute should have been done like that.
