I read your comment and it wasn't pointing to anyone.

Well hey, to each their own.
No it's def not the Sunbow stuff we grew up with by a long shot, however....I feel Renegades it's actually alot "smarter" than the Joe Cartoons we had. What seems dragged out to some seems like careful character development to me. I just can't remember this much depth and origin in the Sunbow series. Not saying it's gonna "trump the Joe of my childhood" or anything, I just think it's a fresh take done with care. Where ROC was a fresh take that was done on LSD while on Bizarro World. Anyway, to each their own...just killin time before kickoff. |

In any case, I think it was wise of Hub to air the first two eps together, as while the first ep worked as a first act, it wasn't that solid as a standalone episode and really needed the second ep to close up the premiere.

I hated the pilot, but it has grown on me. I don't understand why every writer/artist feels the need to put their own stamp on GI Joe, but I'm sure that has to do mostly with artistic integrity, etc. I see no reason in changing Marvels origins of the characters - although I could see using IDWs origins, as these are well fleshed out and thoughtful. Changing the appearance of CC makes no sense. In some ways, I respect RoC more for its radical departure. Taking away the battle helmet or the ceremonial mask just seems unnecessary.
I personally like ARAH's art work better, but this story is far more mature - sort of a Star Blazers/Robotech take on GI Joe, with a longer story line. The voices are done quite well too. I've learned that I can ignore the art if the story is good. The stories aren't perfect but I'm learning to ignore the obvious continuity mistakes, the decisions that are taking it further from the established mythology, and the internal contradictions because it is moving forward - something ARAH never did. I even respect it for not just hawking toys each week and introducing new characters that will only be seen once.

I still think the art is ugly. Also Crock Master said it best, they spend too much time introducing characters and dealing with backstory. Isn't that what the file cards on the toys is for? Also I'm just not digging this trend of dealing with a few "core" characters. The thing that made GI Joe and Transformers great was the variety. That seems lost now days.

How pathetically predictable. Really? As opposed to... Fan Dumb?
BTW, I could give a shit if someone wants to hate on the series and crying about someone's right to is totally fucking irrelevant to the point I was making and just shows how dense some of the people are here. It's like you're standing in the middle of the street blocking traffic and holding up a sign saying, "____ SUCKS!" and then trying to argue to the people blowing their horns that they're right to free speech is being repressed. My argument was about the threads existence, not the subject. Even though you disagree with me, that post at least had a legitimate point, and thus deserves props. |

Except that this isn't a traffic jam its a public forum. I'm brand new here and definitely don't want to start on the wrong foot but my only intention was to give my opinion on the show and see how others felt. I didn't want to derail another thread with my feedback on the show so I started my own. I apologize to anyone I may have offended.
Peace? Last edited by Zefram; 12-12-2010 at 09:02 PM.. |
