G.I.*JOE Renegades discussion

[K-Tiger]

Unfortunately you're wrong. SE has become the Joe equivalent of Wolverine.


Anyhoo, the show is essentially axed, the figures will probably end up in a Resolute-like box set, and you can only find PoC figures in TrU or Target on the 3 Sunday after a blue moon in the year with a sighting of Haley's Comet.


It all adds up to a big "Why the fuck should i care about this line?", and i hope someone tells Hasbro that at the con.

QFT no shit ppl at the con need to man up and ask the hard ? not go there and say wip it out so i can suck it off.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

even if someone asked the hard questions, the questions we all SHOULD be asking, they'd dodge them anyway

Exactly what I was thinking. If they ever do kill him, he'd be right back for the next episode/comic/movie/whatever...

Dodge! Dive! Duck! Dodge!

 

[K-Tiger]

Dodge! Dive! Duck! Dodge!

*Ahem*

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge!

 

[ThunderDan19]

I am a dipless FAIL...

 

[snakeling]

They're not killing him off because of the nerd rage that would ensue. Eddie and I are in the minority I knew that when I posted.

@Ktiger check out my sig at the HT I actually agree with you. Hell I know you won't so I'll bring it over here. I need a good sig anyway.

 

[snakeling]

I don't see it but I added it. Ah yes there it is. And its Quoted for TRUTH.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, i'm not gonna get tricked into steeping foot over there.

 

[snakeling]

You know I seem to recall before this show came out "they" said SE would be talking and perhaps even not disfigured, that never happened. I did watch some of them and it wasn't in any episode I watched.

 

[ThunderDan19]

Heh, they're not quite that stupid. That big of a break from (Hama inspired) fanboy accepted cannon would result in massive amounts of nerd rage for sure...

yes it would all i want is joe to go back to how it was not this crap they are giving us. i know it needs to be updated and it sure does but go back to what they did in the 80s with the toys , toon and comic. i mean hell the shit out there now the stuff from the 80s is soft in comparison.

 

[ThunderDan19]

I do enjoy watching some classic Transformers and ARAH late night on Hub. Brings back old memories...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

let me clear..i HATE the goo Vipers...

that being said, i really enjoyed yesterdays episode..it was great to see Snow Job AND Timber...and i think it made a lot more sense to have Timber stay with SJ in the end...

something else cool was it seemed like they left most, if not all of SJs established history in place if i remember correctly...and the flashback with him in his mostly classic duds was awesome...

the weirdest thing was adding Frostbite, but making him black...why not use Iceberg if they need an arctic guy?...hes already black and wintery...and then they killed Frosty/Iceberg off...lame...

see thats the shit that pisses me off they fucking dont care about the line at all and it sucks. let it die and start over REBOOT REBOOT REBOOT!!!!!!!!!

 

[SR_501]

Isn't that what we have been getting for the last couple of years?? Renegades so far is proving to be just as campy and that of ARAH just doesn't have all the characters form ARAH and there classic looks.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I still need to watch the Twins episode from 2 weeks ago and this week's, but I saw screencaps. So they made a formerly white Joe into a black man for no reason, just to kill him off. Again?

 

[NSA]

Guess there are some not-so-subtle racist overtones we're seeing...

 

[Rick]

My daughter prefers the ARAH series still. I record both but she rules in favor of the classic series.

 

[snakeling]

Yeah this...... racism is a two way street.

i see it as them attempting to kill off two Joes at once but not upsetting NAACP/Jessie Jackson by making a black character white (using "Iceberg" but making him look like Frostbite)...seriously though, they killed off Frostbite AND Iceberg in this episode, no doubt

 

[White Tornado]

They should simply re-release A Real American Hero with CGI effects and replace all the laser guns with walkie-talkies.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol...at least Speilberg would be happy

 

[Rick]

all I can say is that for all the time they are rolling around in that Cobra rig Hasbro better make one.

 

[Bravestarr]

Am still trying to figure out why Hasbro didn't release "Renegade" figures while the show was on the air?

The POC line is a fantastic one, and Hasbro should have maintained a line with Renegades as well as with POC.

Just my two cents.

 

[ThunderDan19]

Day late and dollar short as usual for the Joe line...

 

[SR_501]

All to true.

 

[Rick]

Yeah, but before any of this can happen somebody has to buy Arctic Destro.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol...so yer saying its never gonna happen Rick

 

[xhairs]

im glad the show got canned and it proved i was right all along lol.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

so wait, its official or still "official"?

 

[xhairs]

so wait, its official or still "official"?

its both as you know how they are about it .

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i hope not...compared to nothing, i'll take Renegades...i'd prefer Reso, but we all know that aint never happening

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

HIATUS!!! NOT CANCELED!!!

GI Joe 2 will bring it all back to life!

 

[SR_501]

GI Joe 2 will bring it all back to life!

Maybe it will bring around Jungle Joe fever. After all the guy directing it did that bieber movie.... just saying..

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

man it woulda been awful it ever happened...a gay guy, directing a Joe movie...really?....this is a good idea to who?

 

[ThunderDan19]

Well, you do know "Don't ask, don't tell" has been so gloriously revoked by our current administration, so it's long overdue for us to have a more socially conscious GI Joe...

*barfs*

You of all people should know this, Eddie. Stop with the denial and self loathing already...

 

[xhairs]

man it woulda been awful it ever happened...a gay guy, directing a Joe movie...really?....this is a good idea to who?

i could name a group that would love the idea lmao

 

[Firefly76]

i could name a group that would love the idea lmao

X. Would this group happen to like "polishing" Destro's mask?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

You of all people should know this, Eddie. Stop with the denial and self loathing already...

lol...self loathing was great...
