/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

Only saw bits of the original series. Though Renegades was a good show.

I have no idea. I watched a little bit of Sigma Six as a child, but that was technically an anime. The fan base seems like a brand of /k/ autism I could really get behind though.

Damn this showed is pretty redpilled. Surprised, we don't get stuff like that nowadays.

I don't know about the cartoons, but the Marvel comics series by Larry Hama is spoken of highly.

I seriously got to read it. Just going by a Silent Interlude it seems pretty good.

Yes and no. It had some moments like the clips in the post you replied to. The show fell apart whenever there was a battle. No one dies, no one gets shot. It broke my sense of disbelief as a child and always made the show less enjoyable. It wasn't like he man or transformers, you know at a young age soldiers die in battle. I watched the show whenever I could because it was the 80's and no internet. We all loved the toys and had proper battles. The toys were the stronger aspect of the franchise.

GI Joe is dead. In a post call of duty environment no kid is going to accept that show but a 4-6 year old and they won't market soldiers to that age group. They need to reinvent the franchise with PG-13 storytelling and find an older demographic. Direct to video animation and video games with the appropriate merchandising. Crazy hasbro has let the franchise die because they refuse to create a new approach.

Imagine a blood dragon style co-op shooter set in the GI Joe universe, with lego movie style vehicle representation and implementation. Like a retrowave halo. Curse this jewish wasteland, death to the triumvirate.

I'd go third person for a GI Joe video game. I feel with the franchise it would be important to see the characters while playing. Vehicles would have to be heavily featured.

I'd like to see a Joe mod for Arma or Squad.

There's some great Starship Troopers and Halo and Aliens mods.

>>1054638

Someone has been working on some Joe stuff for Arma 3.

>>1054572

Either that or an strategy campaign mode for maximum man-childing.

But does the turret fire red lasers and the rockets construction orange?

Renegades was the reboot GI Joe needed but it still failed.

We gotta remember that in the 90s both GI Joe and Transformers were hurting but this is where the franchises deviate Transformers goes all in and makes something new and risky Beast Warsended up saving the entire franchise. GI Joe decided to go full 90s and here we are.

Are the CGI movies any good? I remember seeing commercials for them on Toonami but never watched them.

>>1054981

which cgi movies do you mean? Spy Troops and Valor vs. Venom? They're not…terrible, but they're not great, they're done in a very action figure-y toyetic style

Are any of the live action ones even worth looking at?

>>1055023

Yeah those were the ones I was talking about. I guess I didn't miss out much with those movies. Though I might check them out just out of curiosity.

>>1055025

Rise of Cobra isn't very good. Even just judging it as it's own thing it's pretty mediocre and relies too much on flashbacks.

Retaliation gets the look right but the story is meh. It's somewhat better and more to the point though I can't help but feel at times the movie was made cheap.

>>1055141

I blame horsefuckers.

It's a shame what happened to the Hub in general. We could've had a repeat of the golden age of Cartoon Network and had the old syndicated stuff and new shows. Instead it all went to waste.
