the entire argument is silly. Hasbro's primary goal is to sell toys, and every peripheral endeavor is aimed to assist that.
Resolute was never gonna revitalize the brand because it was a 1 hour special targeting existing fans/collectors. that was all it was and ever would be. it was a minor project aimed at a minor demographic and at best would have had a minor effect on the market had every figure been released at retail. My bad... All the Renegades talk... Simple case of dyslexia.

I, like many,loved Resolute...when I eventually saw it. I had no idea it was on, knew nothing about it. If you want something to be successful you got to push it, and Reso got nothing. And the format was silly, 15 min. episodes a week or whatever apart that no one even knows is on? Not going to be successful. Im not saying they intentionally tanked it or anything, they either didnt make it a big enough priority or just dropped the ball. With what others have mentioned I think its the former.
Zef actually mentioned something I was going to say as well. DC has done some really cool pg to pg-13 animated one shots that have turned out REALLY well. They do a great job of being kid friendly but also enjoyable for an adult. Thats what I had hoped Renegades would be, although it looks now that it will be dumbed down a little ( a lot maybe?) more than that. The Superman/Batman movies, Gotham Knights, Justice League and Green Lantern movies were all good. I would love to see some GI Joe themed movies like this. An hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half, each 1 a stand alone movie. Now I havent looked at the numbers to see how successful these DVDs have been, but I see a ton of them in the stores now. DC and Marvel are turning them out quite frequently. Why not 4 Joe? |

no matter how much information from Hasbro's mouth we get... people still speculate despite said speculation being rather untenable in the face of explained fact.

Yah... I was having a discussion about this with a non-Joe fan. She was saying how strange it was fascinated on how so many Joe fans are so myopic in that they believe their own personal version of the world should be considered canon. Even when it comes from the source, some people refuse to believe it.

For some reason I always got the vibe that GI Joe mini series 1 and GI Joe Resolute were done in similar styles. I think it had to do with atmosphere than anything else. I agree that it was simply done for the fans of ARAH. The same can be said of the comic that Hama is doing at IDW now.
As for a new series. What I would have liked seeing is a series that had little to no emphasis on sci-fi, and instead concentrated on continuity, character development and just telling good stories. I think plots to take over the world and super weapons from space have been done to death. Again, just my opinions. |

I also think resolute was just a nice movie for all the older fans, nothing more. I also think renegades has the best chance at getting the next generation of fans. I think it looks fantastic. I'm all for the designs and even want stylized figures to go with it. If this takes off big then we all win.
