Duke and Scarlett kill!
It' s the first time I see this. Real fire weapons: no stupid lasers!

That is cool. Good thing the Cobra troopers still cant hit a barn wall even if they were inside the barn. :)

This is getting better and better...

Awesome 1-2-3-4-5-6 Resolute!
 

I agree amico mio: from Colombia to Italy our "Joe-dreams" are here. :)

It is getting better!

couldn't say it better

yea that's great and if they introduce Sgt. Flash he'll be useful

WHAT??? that's it??? zartan is on Duke and Scar's collective booties???

Cool episode. Glad to see that they made Ep6 cater BACK to the story at hand.

Yeah they use lasers... but that terminology is for the kiddies. Cuz realistically, they were using plasma rounds. How else could they eject shells for a 'laser'? Gotta admit, those weapons pack a lot of rounds! lol

Episode 6 was enjoyable.

I agree, Zartan is awesome.

Pfeh. Episode 8 was a waste.

no way... I thought it was perfect. From everything we've seen so far, it looks like Resolute is the end-story to GI Joe as we know it. Bazooka, Bludd, Storm Shadow, and possibly Gung-Ho and Roadblock... you tell me. This has gone from childish skirmish battles to a full on war, I don't think either side is holding back anymore.

I really like this so far. I was hoping they would chill with the Snake Eyes / Storm Shadow crap, but that was not going to happen. Duke & Destro both said "Hell", I love it!

consider it chilled now :eek:

I got a chill when that happened.

Anyways - I don't think there will be a series after this now - since they are killing off characters left and right :(
Or they will have to make a prequel series - the events leading up to this point.

Episode 8 was pretty bad and certainly the worst so far.
The plot of the episode was compleatly obvious and Storm Shadow has gone from a complex character to an stero typical evil asian with distinctivly diffrent speach pattern. The old story was that Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes would rule the clan together as the soft and hard master did but Storm Shadows ultimate test of loyalty towards the clan was to see if he would follow it if someone else led it.
This was just junk story telling. Its good that they have the restrictions for violence and death lifted somewhat but it can not be a replacement for a good story. Dont get me wrong though the series as a whole is good.

Or they could just make a seperate continuity. Because this series is seperate even though it draws on the old stories.

My jaw dropped when SE took the sword thru his hand! I'm enjoying it. I don't think anything is wrong w/ Stormy's decisions. Seems like they shoulda done that 25 years ago! That fight scene made me EEK in the class room (I wasn't watching it during class but during classes).

And Gung Ho and Roadblock might be dead! That'd be a bummer. I also got the sense that the 2 people w/ Tunnel Rat died too!

R.I.P.

The biggest surprise so far was Roadblock shooting the squad of Cobra Troopers in the back and laughing the whole time. :D


The GI Joe roster is so huge they could go on killing characters like this for a long time and not run out.


I liked the old back story better too but considering it's five minute episodes, I think they're doing a good job storytelling and there's a lot going on.

Looked like they had parachutes on. They'd be crazy not to, right?

I like this story too. The good thing is that it could be written and re-written any time. :cool:

Awesomeeeee!!!!!!!
 

Now this is G.I.JOE!!!!!!!!!! I am in full joe gear right now WOW

I can't believe they killed off Stormy. I am loving the cartoon.

Yeah then he would be as well known as Red Lazer! ;)

I see your point but they did take the time to change the story when it was done better before. They did not have to do that.

Too bad about the Storm Shadow .. "ending". What are they gonna do later.. bring him back from the dead? I rather like the idea of him and Snake Eyes ruling the clan together. Life is a circle kinda thing, a bit of Asian philosophy sorta.. yin/yang as the Hard and Soft Masters were.

There should've been more blood in ep 8.. sword through the hand should've had SE showing more emotion of pain--fighting without using the hand, shielding the hand, etc. Would've given a more despirate appearance to the fight--something that seems to be lacking in this series thus far. At least SS screamed. Still needed more blood.

The prolonged combat reminded me of something written in the manga Lonewolf and Cub, "Ninja acting like samurai."

Any idea who the other two unfortunate Joes were who fell back to Earth? I heard extremely high altitude skydiving is possible, especially if the person has one of those glider-like suits, similar to what SE was using earlier. Hopefully that's what those Joes are using. It strikes me odd that Tunnelrat would be so casual that his fellow Joes would fall to their doom under his command. Afterall, the Joes are supposed to be the good guys.. care for one's own team, buddies you can depend your life on.

Gung Ho and Roadblock... I hope they survived.. made it farther into the structure--far enough to be somewhat safe--before it blew. On YouTube somewhere's is a small vdo of Resolute being introduced in a convention, where Duke and Roadblock are under heavy fire by troopers, and SE drops down to rescue them. It ends with Roadblock saying "A ninja? I didn't know we had a ninja?". If this vdo isn't supposed to be of the past, then I am confident Gung Ho and Roadblock survived.

Other than this, I really like it.

Ok i can't say it enough this keep getting better and better

With that said here are my predictions

Ep. 7

1. Gung-ho and Roadblock are not dead and did not fall for the trap

2. Gung-ho and Roadblock are dead

4. One of the two is dead and the other goes on

5. One of the two is badly injured and the other goes on... and the
injured one is flown into Doc giving Doc something more to do

4. I hope the have a way to rescue Tunnel Rat..... may be the Defiant

Ep 8

1 . Storm Shadow is dead

2 If Storm Shadow is not dead it is because of the injury to Snake-eyes hand making so he could not put full force behind Move #7



and i know one thing Roadblock seems to love his job :D

Storm Shadow a loser in this toon. I'm glad he's dead. I can't believe they wasted all this screen time on this fight when it has nothing to do with CC's plot. Hell, it wasn't even about avenging Bazooka's death. It was about some stupid ninja power techinique.

I hope RB and Gung-Ho are dead. I hate their voices.

I suppose the falling Joes might have 'chutes but it was hard to tell.

I'm gonna assume Stormy is dead cuz it'd be an end to a very long feud. PUll the phoenix thing, I hope not. Anyway, I'm cool with ALL the episodes myself.

Another possibility, they are all dead for the reason that new characters are going to take their place--characters that maybe Hasbro has hopes would steer the Joe story to something new--to re-invent GI Joe.

Hadn't Hasbro lost the copyright to the name "Roadblock"? Why? Was there a lack of interest in Roadblock for long-term Joe stories? Maybe this is a way to kill him off in a blaze of glory for the fans, and still be-done with the character. Onward to new characters with fresher copyrights.

Like, say, Heavy Duty? heh

Hasbro's been trying to make him a 'core' character forever.

I disagree... I like all the new voices, it gives them better character... Stalker has dreadlocks, how cool is that. I think they're doing a great job with it and I can only hope it turns into more than what it is now.

the "we have a Ninja?" clip was shown to give the essence of the style they were aiming for - not in any continuity.

Roadblock survived, if you look at some of the clips out there you can see him fire off a shot with Gung-Ho's gun - the grenade launcher - so he's alive and kicking, Gung-Ho: MIA for now.

I'm not convinced that Storm Shadow is completely dead - if he is then I don't have a big problem with it really. But I don't think that the story can move that much forward from there for Snake Eyes, which is a bummer, since he is my favourite character

"WHAT IF?"
 

It's funny, in few minutes we've lost so many main characters...
Is this a "what if?"

I like some of the voices. But the grizzley voice is over played. Its great for Cobra Commander. Ok for Duke. But then when it's Flint, Roadblock and Gung Ho, they all start to sound the same. We might dis Sunbow here and there, but at least they got the voices to sound different for MOST of the characters.



LIke Craig and Frank, I'd like NEW characters. Not 'newer' characters to take up different people's positions. Ie; the Roadblock vs Heavy Duty debate. SHoot, why not just have REpeater come in OR use RnR for once?!?!?

Resolute 9 & 10
 

Episode 9 was stupid. Duke and Scarlett are right in the middle of a damn CROSSFIRE and don't get hit until after they're out of it, and even then it happens off-screen.

And then Zartan loses all the interesting parts of his personality... and then gets killed.

Resolute gets more and more disappointing, mostly because of characters being pointlessly de-depthified... only to die a few moments later.

Seriously, couldn't Voltar or Cesspool die there in Zartan's place?

Once again I was pleased with the episodes, however I wish it was Scarlett that was hit instead of Duke... Duke getting a "life-threatening" injury has already been done. Not saying by any means I want Scarlett to die, but it would make things more interesting to see someone other than Duke actually get injured.

Zartan... ehh... why not?

I like the fact that it "bounced" off Destro's mask... it should have dented it.
