G.I. Joe Resolute

Starting tomarrow the new G.I Joe mini-series will be airing ONLINE only at adultswim.com New eps will be airing everyday after this with the finale airing on tv on April 25th at midnight. The reasoning for the late showing is because this is an adult G.I Joe cartoon aimed towards the fans who grew up watching the series in the 80s. Each episode is 5 min long with the finale being 10 min long.

U can see the trailer here:

1st Episode...
Spoiler:
In less than a min. two very well known characters are dead. One of which has a lot of crime show style blood...and named Bludd, I just got the pun of that. Then The Flagg is attacked and Bazooka's found dead. Then Cobra Commander threatens the UN is the coolest way ever and with the coolest voice ever!

Speaking of voices, Duke is clearly voiced by Steven Blum. Think I know a few others, but haven't IDed them yet. Eitherway, I want to hear more of Cobra Commander, he just sounds so awesome!


2nd Episode...
Spoiler:
More awesome. Scarlet wants to stay with Duke...I knew Sunbow was right! Suck it, Snake-Eyes! Speaking of Snake-Eyes, I think he's taking his sexual frustrations out on Cobra Troopers. Those poor son-a-bitches. Btw, was it really necessary to snap a guy's neck and than stab him? Overkill, Snake-Eyes, overkill...Not that I'm complaining, it was awesome overkill!


And the 3rd episode has already shown up on the net (I won't post links since I'm not sure if the mods frown on that)
Spoiler:
Look at all the Joes! Plus some hot new recruits. Yeah, she's my new favorite Joe too, Gung-Ho I'm going to have to watch this one a few times to figure out some of them.

Let's see:
Stalker, Lady Jaye (with hat for the first time animated), Spirit, Roadblock, Doc, Rock n' Roll, Beachhead, Airborne (I think, but I'm not sure), Gung-Ho, Flint, Shipwreck (Is that a mullet?!), Cover Girl. Then there's two guys I just don't know. I think the one with the bandada may be Tunnel Rat, but I have no clue on the other guy (Long shot, but maybe Alpine?)

Yeah... As soon as Duke started talking I was like "Boy he sounds like Wolverine..."

Cobra Commander's voiced by the awesome Charles Adler. He voices Starscream in the Transformers films, Mojo in Wolverine and the X-Men, Dr. Doom in Marvel Super Hero Squad, he was Mechanicles in the Aladdin toon, I.R Baboon in I.M Weasel as well as Cow AND Chicken, The original voice of Buster Bunny in Tiny Toons (till he quit when he couldn't get a role in Animaniacs), Spike the mini-Dragon in the My Little Pony stuff, and in the original G.I Joe he was Low-Light. And that's just SOME of his work!

Did anybody catch the whole thing last night? I was really surprised at how awesome this was. Brought back so many memories from my childhood.

Now let's get Warren Ellis on a Joe comic with art from the guys at UDON.

I was bored, so I watched all 11 episodes. I was never into G.I. Joe so the nostalgia was lost on me and I felt at times it tried a bit too hard at being 'mature', but overall it was pretty nice, especially the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow segments. Was this animated by the Avatar studio?

This was great. Has some mine problems, but for what it is, I really couldn't have asked for better.

Screw the comics and make more cartoons.

Spoiler:
The comics has used a Springfield with no state as a Cobra base long before the Simpsons even even stated. It was a normal town with honest working families...they just all worked for Cobra. The cartoon also had an island named Springfield that Cobra used as a base. It was made to be a normal US town to brainwash Shipwreck while they pull codes out on his mind. The one used here is the spiting image of the comic version. So yeah, the joke was old before Simpsons ever got to it.
