It was the best Joe cartoon in 20+ plus years.

I think it was pretty good too. It had it's flaws but it was nice to see a somewhat realistic look to the characters. We didn't get too overly-stylized when compared to Sigma Six, The Timm DC universe, or the glut of japanese anime inspired stuff on t.v. these days.
The story needed some more guts to it though. It felt..."thin" to me. I'm sure an actual cartoon series would be more story oriented. This almost felt like a quick "look what we could do if we made a cartoon".

I do get a nagging suspicion that the cartoon is going to end up being more serious in tone then the movie though.

I thought it was ok. Not great, but better then a lot of stuff out there currently.

also looking at the credits, the voice acting chores seemed to be shared by 4 people. So as labored and clunky as some of the dialog is, I'm gonna let it slide. Though Steve Blum is everywhere these days with the standard "Spike" Voice, it's nice to see him put in time on Roadblock and a few others with different voices.


but yeah my gripes are the same I have with most comic books and modernizations of childhood favorites.
"gritty realism"
anyone happen to know the casualty rate for Delta operatives? There are 56 casualties from all special forces listed at the Bragg Memorial since 1983. That's Rangers, Delta, Green Berets, I know some Air force TACP and Combat Controllers and of course a dozen or so Navy Seals have been lost too. however all in all since 1983 the special ops world has claimed loosing under 100 men. So I've never been down with "death = realism"

what I liked, similar plot points from the old sunbow series. It's funny to me that they dress it in dads pants by adding "death" but we've seen Stormy take what 5 to the chest and pop back up, 10 issues later? and Zartan? No way he's dead. though someones post about him being irradiated would be [LASER BLAST]. Really dug his accent btw.
Also how do we know that's actually the good major? Could be a body double, maybe a CIA plant... many outs for that.

but common the back to back Scarlett/Duke shoot off with no cover... yeah this was gritty and real.

meh, all this modern stuff is really just fan service, it isn't written to get new fans just to give middle aged men something to gripe/praise on the internet. The show was alright, might win a Spike award, but then what doesn't.

also where was Hawk? R@R with hot ladies?


the casualty rate for Delta has unfortunately been well beyond what is considered heavy for a Tier One since 2003.

I thought the ending was a huge let down.

The assault on Springfield was done by a couple of planes a handful of joes?

Other than Bazooka... what Joes died?
