I remember this series. I only saw a handful of episodes and I thought it was okay. I don't know how much toys affect the cartoon counterparts, but I'm pretty sure the series didn't last because it had almost none of the original G.I. Joe characters, and the one it did include was a late and relatively unknown arrival. Fans of the original didn't like change and non-fans probably didn't care about this new show at all.
I wasn't aware the opening was ever edited, by the way.
awesome isnt it!! this was by far ( to date ) the best , most adult written GI JOE series produced, it was really the BEAST WARS of GI JOE. basically from episode 8-26 it was one long continuous story. Had it had a SMALL link to the previous generation of GI JOE ( larger than the SGT SAVAGE one ) like beast wars and had the toys been better and in the same scale, people would have looked very differently at this series, one of greater fondess
@jamarmiller Have you ever read the old GI Joe comics? People died on a regular basis. The comic was so much more mature than the cartoon it was based on.
of course I have LOL !! but I am talking about cartoons not comic, GIVE ME THE orgiinal MARVEL comics stuff ANY DAY LOL. But again no comparing this to comics. different medium, this is cartoon and I am comparing it to the other cartoons ( full series, not mini-series like resolute )
sadly no, well there was 2 dvds released in the netherlands which had the first 6, very nice dvds if you can find them but you would also need a region free dvd player unless you were from there
Why did they change the classic characters? Not only is it lacking Cobra, but Duke, Scarlett, Flint, Lady Jaye, etc. Never change a format that's worked before.
I was actually happy for the new start, wished it had later brought in some links to the previous joes of course ( like beast wars of Transformers fame ) but still liked the all new cast
I heard a podcast recently about how certain cartoons would set up the series concept rather well in the opening credits so the show itself could just get to it. That has this going for it.
Too bad you didn't include the low-budget live-action prologue.
The only thing connecting this 2 real american hero was the one video tape called sgt savage & his screaming eagles. Cobra isn't mentioned because they ran out of money. As Cobra Commander said "World domination is expensive!"
as far as i know...no. but something as good as resolute should find its way to dvd soon enough. they actually aired this on tv on adult swim(cartoon network) somehow i must have missed it. i would love to watch it again on my lcd tv.
Don't let the cheesy opening fools you, it's a great show. I mean, one of the bad guy haves a Missile Launcher mounted on his shoulder. That gotta count for something.
it's weird, it may have not been the best Known, but it was very underraited and it's nice to see that the japanese at least reconize this series as Cannon (SOme of the Binaritech figure refer to alot of G.I. Joe Extreme events)
Never REALLY cared for this. I mean, it's cool someone thought GI Joe should have a more mature approach and maybe it should but I enjoy the old Joe and it's sillyness, really
I like the old GI Joe Series better where they were fighting against COBRA. Has anyone Noticed that in Season 2, Balistic's name was changed to Eagle Eye?
very good question and they never explained as to why I always thought since they knew Iron Klaw was in the white house in season 1 they must have found out he tried to get the joes info and Ballistics was the only one he semi-accessed so they had to change it!??? do i get a no prize?? hahahaha I dont know maybe legal issues or something
This was by far the best JOE cartoon we have ever gotten , it was the most mature and well thought out of all the cartoons we have ever gotten but most people havent seen the entire series and dont even know about season 2, anyone who watched this series in its entirety will agree
They tried too hard, LOL.
