Yeah Resolute was amazing. My friend actually did the sound for that. I don’t think I could choose between Resolute and Renegades. The adult me loves Resolute and the inner child me loves Renegades.

Resolute was awesome. Renegades was horrible.

I like Renegades, though I don't really like its take on Breaker or Firefly. Otherwise it's pretty good.
I also like Resolute, but it has its own issues. People rarely look for cover in a firefight, which seems especially odd in a show where deaths happen. Also, the attack on Moscow and death of Bludd are kind of pointless. They seem to be there to convince us Cobra is really evil this time, but the rest of the show Cobra is basically the same classic evil organization we've always known and loved. I like the rest of the show, but those things always strike a discordant note. As far as I'm concerned, the original show is still the best. But I own all three of them on DVD. |

Now I feel kinda bad about hating the show so much. However, thoughts and prayers aside, I must admit I found the animation style quite off-putting. Plus the colours were too washed-out. Made the whole thing feel rather cheap, actually. Also, the dull character designs left a lot to be desired (with the Dreadnoks being particularly bland). And I get what they were going for with Destro's mask, but those bolted metal jaws made him look he was The Iron Giant's son, or something. Oh, and the twins looked pretty stupid too (in their matching bathrobes). *RIP Clément Sauvé (apparently his death was not the cause of cancellation, though still sad) https://www.deviantart.com/clementsauve

Renegades was what initially brought me to the Hisstank boards, so I’m grateful for that. I was thrilled at the time to have a new GI Joe animated season to follow, it was fun commenting on each episode after it aired.
But the series got a ton of hate on these boards. My opinion of the show has probably declined over the years, but still, there were some good aspects, and some good stories. I actually love how they handled the Baroness, she had a very “evil corporate exec” type style and demeanor, if I remember right. The short hair suits her too. These days I'd take the Sunbow series, and all its corniness, over either Resolute or Renegades. I think Resolute is overrated, and Renegades isn't horrible, but its not great. Resolute looks much better. Renegades' art style doesn't help its case. .

Renegades was good if just watched for what it was. Try not to compare it to the Sunbow series and don't watch it with the mentality of this isn't my G.I. Joe. It's not the GI Joe most of us grew up with, but it can be enjoyed as a new portrayal of the characters. I watched it with my son who at the time was 6 and he really loved it. I had also introduced him to "my" GI Joe the sundbow series and while he preferred that he wasn't tied to it so I can say he as a child liked Renegades too.
I enjoyed the attempt at a "new" reimagining of Joe.

Renegades is probably my favorite of all the GI Joe cartoons. I'm in that minority that never cared much for Resolute. Outside of the "oh look, people get killed it's so adult" there wasn't much interesting to me.

Renegades made some questionable decisions in "re-imagining" some of the characters (especially Dr. Mindbender, who's kind of horrible), but struck a decent balance of maintaining a kid-friendly fantasy aspect to the story without being so goofy as the original ARAH cartoon.
I also enjoyed Resolute, but a lot of it kind of felt like some angsty teenager's "gritty" fan-fiction. |

I'm appreciative of the youtube channel or tubi for making these cartoons available. The only gripe I have about all the Joe cartoons is the portrayal of storm shadow as a bitch, especially in comparison to the marvel comic series.
