G.I. Joe: Resolute

Well, I wasn't sure how I felt about the Storm Shadow thing, but... the idea of him being evil instead of tragic was rather interesting, I thought.

On one hand, it was more shocking that SS would do what he did, but a big Joe fan, I thought it was a shame. I guess I can't look at it clearly for that reason, though I can't help but wonder from a writing standpoint if making SS a villain was just easier.

While the old story for SS was more interesting, I always found it difficult to believe that that honorable man could align himself with Cobra. Introducing him as a heartless monster makes his allegiance make more sense.

I think it throw back to Count of Monte Cristo where the protagonist becomes a monster like those that ruined him in his search for vengeance. Storm Shadow wanted revenge for his master and was willing to do whatever it took to kill the assassin except while maintaining his honor. I can only imagine the body count for the Joes had Snake-Eyes not been a member to be a bit of SS's conscious whenever he went after the organization. I remember an episode of GI Joe though where SS went all out in a fight with Spirit. Awesome battle.

I remember an episode where SS and Spirit sat in a cave that was rapidly filling with water, and Spirit sat down him style and said "I must dwell on this"

I can dig it!!!

But beware, they're playing for keeps this time.

Jackasses won't play it accross the boarder!! :x

I thought that you could just watch it on the internet? Why does it have to matter if you live in canadia for that?

It shouldn't, but for some reason, it does. Sometimes it sucks being in Canadia.

i thought this was done really well. i don't think anything will come after this. my favorite part was with snake eye and storm shadow, that was done really well and the fighting was great

If you go to hisstank.com I think there is a thread that has a link to a youtube screening of resolute. try looking for it there.

For the record... not being able to watch GI Joe is down right UNAMERICAN!!!....wait that whole canadia thing again.

LOVE THIS! It would have made my grandfather proud. He would always complain that no one ever got shot in the old Joe cartoon. Of course he over looked the fact that it is a kids show.

Not anymore!
