yeah, because RAH was such a bastion of intellect and storytelling brilliance. you don't have to like Renegades, I don't, but to criticize it for something that the original cartoon was, and all cartoons are, is simply hypocritical. it's a cartoon for children; if you want something more I recommend growing up and not watching cartoons for children.
I'm not Renegades biggest fans. I like it. Not as good as I was hoping. But then 30+ year old men aren't the primary audience. But yeah, the Sunbow stuff was even more brainless then Renegades. Renegades at least has an ongoing story and tries for depth in the storytelling.

Here's the thing renegades is a bad title. How long can they be renegades? Who in the military is going to risk their career to join SE team? How are breaker, jinx, and SE or any other "joe" going to join gi joe when it's formed if they are not already in the military or some other government agency.
I wanted to see Hawks back story before anyone since he looks like he was in a badass battle or he just go hit by an i.e.d. |

How many times are we all going to use the "I'm a 30-40 year old grown up" mechanism to apologize for ourselves for indulging in a toy/cartoon based hobby? It is far from the ultimate quantifier that people seem to think it is when they invoke it during a debate. Technically you could say the same thing about any sports fan being passionate about "a little kids game". The pretension and arrogance of a member of any "geek" community challenging another member's maturity over dissenting opinions is both ridiculous and uncalled for.

Also, I don't think it's a matter of maturity thats being called into question. Enjoying content aimed at children is fine, but being surprised when it doesn't meet your standards is a little ridiculous.
That said, I don't thnk Renegades is pandering. I'd say that it's setting the bar pretty high, actually.

Renegades is not made with us in mind. It's made for a different target audience. So the animation and such are made primarily for that audience. Resolute was aimed at us. As such I hold it to different standards then I would Renegades, which is not aimed at us.

Um, ok, why am I wrong? If I'm wrong then why are grown men paid millions of dollars to play these games? Can you name one child that invented a sport? Or a child that has made millions as a professional athlete?
