GI Joe: Renegades (New Animated Series Debuting 11/26/10)

He is an American Brit of Iraqi decent.

Hmm, not a bad explanation actually! Now if he'd just grow a beard...

Saw three episodes. I like that the villain is a corporation. Tells you a lot about the American psyche right now.

I'm intrigued by the new design for Cobra Commander.

I guess no episodes where Baroness disguises herself as a liberal, anti-military news reporter, or a liberal, anti-military scientist then?

Yeah, he looks alright, I hope they eventually give him the silver dome mask with the helmet. Or the rag. And that's storm shadow on the left.

 

[karamazov80]

Wow, those look really horrible.

 

[Kibagami]

Wow, those look really horrible.

CC is tolerable but storm shadow is especially horrible.

Just finished watching the first 2 episodes. Aside from the animation the story is actually pretty good so far.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

So far ive seen all the episodes and I personally think its awesome. I love the simplistic style, while sure I wish it was more like Resolute which is phenomenol, but I think Renegades is pretty awesome for its own stand alone show.

Not sure if its been posted, but the character designer is on deviant art.

You can see some of his work, personally I like his military sketches. Which if you didnt know it looks like he also did the designs for the game Army of 2 as well.

Just watch last nights episode, best one yet! Really enjoying the series and so is my son.

ArmoredFoe thanks for the link and info on the artist, I really like his style too. Love seeing his other work, the grunt head rough is awesome!

 

[Kibagami]

Can't wait to download it.

SS is horrible. Didn't they learn anything from RoC? Guess not.

CC would be OK if the didn't have that half mask thing. What the crap is up with that? A full silver mask would have been great and a decent design. That crappy mask just ruins it.

I like everything but that half mask thing but I guess he might dawn his silver dome mask or hood as the series progresses. He needs the silver dome or hood.

i think i could have watched just a 2 hour movie with bana as hoot. he was awesome in that flick. as was fichtner. i just believed bana in that role...like i did when he was in the movie 'chopper'.

Bana should have won best actor for his role in Chopper! Still, to this day my favorite movie, hands down!!!!

 

[Unclechopchop]

Just to get back on track, I am trying to like this series, but am having a hard time. It's too much like the A-team. If they ditch that story line, and actually start getting a whole team together, then it might iron itself out.

I also have a hard time abandoning the older style, but I do think that CC looks pretty hard still. It's a decent design. Just my honest opinion. Maybe they'll change some things around.
Storm Shadow on the other hand, just looks like an unwrapped mummy.

I started out hating on CC's half mask. It is growing on me a little. But if they move up to the full helmet or the rag, I won't miss the half mask.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

I agree, I kinda like the half mask. Its different and new and yeah its a change, but agree that if somewhere down the line if they go back to the full helmet I'll be a-ok with that. I love the classic helmet even more so than hooded CC.

 

[ProgMatinee]

pretty good episode, this last one.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I just caught up on episode 5 on youtube. I agree...good episode.

 

[Kibagami]

pretty good episode, this last one.

Yeah, the snake eyes / storm shadow conflict is a bit more on par with the comic books.
