Never been in the military, huh? For the most part, their dialogue hasn't been too off base. This unit is off to a rough start, and it's showing in the way they interact.
The Joes, especially Duke, don't trust Scarlet because she's intel, or a "spook" or "spy". Scarlet doesn't think very much of the rest of the Joes because they are all "grunts", and she thinks they aren't worth the time to really include on the plan. That puts Duke and Scarlet at odds as they are the leadership figures. The Joes, especially Duke, don't trust SE because he's the unknown factor, and we all know what knowing is. Honestly, IMO, they are all decent incarnations of what they represent. Duke is a young Sgt. He takes his responsibilities very seriously, and worries that his men are being misled. This leads to bicering between he and Scarlet. A more seasoned officer wouldn't let it slide, but Scarlet doesn't command very much respect from the Joes yet. Scarlet is typical of a young officer, a bit big for her britches, and she lets her ambition get in the way of what is important. A bit elitist, even though she's in way over her head. Smart, though. Roadblock is a fairly good representation of a Corporal. He's capable, and just wants to get the job done. Able to listen, and take things in. Trying to help the others without stepping on their toes. Showing the beginnings of developing leadershp skills of his own. To me, he's the most likeable of the group. A genuinely good soul trying to do the right thing. TR is a good representation of a PFC, as far as I can see. That's the rank where you usually become very good at your job, which sometimes leads you to realize when your leadership might have their heads up their butt. Unlike SP4's and Corporals, PFC's are at the odd position of usually being some of the most skilled and qualified at their jobs since they still do them on a daily basis. However, they don't tend to get very much respect. This can come out in them taking any opportunity to take shots at leadership when they make mistakes. This keeps Duke and Scarlet on their toes, and also keeps them from taking themselves too seriously. So while it can come off as dickish, it serves a purpose in the group dynamic. Really good writing in my opinion.

Jesus, this is up to page 49 already?
Tell me this has been merged with other threads, I can't believe I missed this thread. Do I think Renegades is great? No. But it's darn good imo, and it has a lot of potential. |

It made 49 pages the honest way. And potential is a nice way of saying "you suck, but keep trying".

I can't stand the way Duke looks and I'm still waiting to see some intimidating Cobra Troops who aren't made of Jello, but otherwise it's a damned good show.

I kind of see what your saying but the truth is I think you may be looking at the orginal through your inner child's eyes. Times like this make me wish I had transcripts of the original series. They were loaded with one-liners.

It was educational, though. I learned how to spell "sneak" sideways!

I already think Renegades is better than the Sunbow stuff, and I grew up on that crap. I think it's safe to assume SE won't be dressing in drag or doing any break dancing in Renegades, and Roadblock doesn't talk in rhymes. Renegades is head & shoulders above ROC, I'm optomistic, the worst is behind us. For the first time ever, I actually like Duke. Don't love him, but I like him. |
