I was at the official GI Joe Con aka "JoeCon" 2010 this past weekend & wanted to share my enthusiasm about the new GI Joe animation coming to Hasbro/Discovery Channel's new TV station "The Hub!!"
It's called GI Joe Renegades & will be written for adults but still be cool for kids, the classic style animation looked similar to more modern American designed Comic-Anime hybrids like "GI Joe Resolute" or "Generator Rex."
The guys working on Renegades are extremely enthusiastic, here is some cliff-notes I took:
GI JOE RENEGADES:
• GI Joe Year 1
• Joe on the run from Cobra / core team of Joes
• Show starts in Fall
• no nanomites (from the Movie)
• Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow story arc around ep. 7-8
• Cobra Commander (w/face plate), Baroness (Anastasia), Shipwreck, Snow Job, Snake Eyes, Duke, Storm Shadow, Destro, Scarlett, Jinx, all metioned.
• linear story telling
• Death will happen/someone is hurt in one episode, they are still hurt in the next episode
• stories are self-contained with larger background stories/bigger arcs
• 2-part pilot
• adult storytelling with growth of characters kids will like.
• arced out until season 4
• old & new characters
• classic vehicles & signature weapons
• no bullets, but the best they can do to replicate within TV standards.
• lots of characters
• Snake Eyes Scarlett humorous love/hate relationship
Sound good? You bet, & I guarantee the animation style will be to your liking!! Sounds like we are finally getting another good GI Joe full animated series!! I can't wait!!
