Such a shame, the show was great and I loved the reinvention a lot of characters got. There were a ton of Character and vehicle designs I wish had gotten into toy form. It was the perfect combo of Science fiction and military action which is my favorite take on GI Joe.
At least the way Renegades ended you can go straight into watching the Sunbow run and headcannon it as the same continuity with very little work. |

Wow thats the third time I've seen a news article about something Heny Gilroy said just in the last 20 minutes.
After seeing that about Renegades, I wonder if he was talking about Hasbro here; "Early on in Gilroy's experience writing for "The Clone Wars," there was a licensing executive who asked if it was possible to add a specific detail to a shot so that they could retain brand integrity for the show's toy line. "George basically called and said, 'Never contact them again,'" Gilroy shared. "He forbid the toy people from ever contacting Dave and I, and his explanation to us was, 'You guys make great stories, let them make the toys after.'" https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainm...6ec240ee9bcfc3 |

I'm just trippin' off of the part that this stupid fuck wanted to "copy and paste," the MCU on to JOE. Why would a a kid want to watch this show or buy the products associated with it when he could just get the real deal from Marvel? In my opinion dumb ass shit like this is grounds for termination and muthafuckas who have these dumb ass ideas need to be exposed.
Yes, Star Wars had quips and snark before, but that was usually 99% Prequels Obi-Wan being an ass or Han Solo being Han Solo. It's sad that everyone is trying to copy the MCU, but its not unexpected - they see the biggest franchise in the world and want to copy the success. Hence dumb shit like WB trying to make a extended universe right out of the gate to grab that sweet Avengers money and not bothering to do much set-up. |

The real genius though was Cobra itself as a corporation hiding a global fascist movement in plain sight. That's the realest GI Joe has ever gotten and incredibly appropriate for modern times. It would be ridiculously easy for such a thing to happen in America today.

Think about it: infiltrate all levels of society with commerce/consumerism and marketing/propaganda, hide a military under the guise of a private security subsidiary, infiltrate nation-states by providing "private security services" and forces, and with the way we turn a blind eye to corporate shenanigans and greed these days, you can take over the world without the status quo noticing.

I've been meaning to make a thread on this, but can Renegades be used as sort of sequel to World's Without End reality from the Sunbow cartoon?

I miss the hell out of that show. I was SO excited to see Season 2 after Season 1's ending.

Renegades was a brilliant concept. The A Team conceit seems a bit generic, but it was a terrific way to introduce the characters and team by starting with a tight group and building.
The real genius though was Cobra itself as a corporation hiding a global fascist movement in plain sight. That's the realest GI Joe has ever gotten and incredibly appropriate for modern times. It would be ridiculously easy for such a thing to happen in America today.

We're only a step away from such a thing occurring right now. ;)

Combining that with the Hasbro rule that said you couldn?t have that many different toy lines around the same time meant that the animated series was canceled in favor of the film
Fuck does this even mean? I'm finding this statement to be like calculus, hard as fuck to understand. I need one of you guys to put this into context because right now in 2023 there's seven action figures lines. Even within the TF toylines they made weird decisions like changing bot's colors so there wouldn't be two red planes on the shelf at the same time. What kills me about all of this was I really feel like they made specific mention of the head guy's death - this makes it sound like they just used it as the public-facing excuse to cancel the show.
