New Video Games/ Movies

I think Major Bludd dying in Resolute was the first GI Joe character I've seen die in any of the series. (He died pretty early in the film, if I recall.) The Sunbow series never culled the earlier characters like Transformers did in Transformers: The Movie (nothing Michael Bay has done or will do can ever surpass this film.) TPTB even chickened out of killing Duke.

Yeah, I remember that. As much as I love Duke, going so far a to use him as an avatar occassionally, I thought that cheapened the story line.

I saw it when they showed it in movie form on Adult Swim. Prior to that, it had been aired as a microseries of 10 minute segments on either AS or online.

Just saw the new GI Joe movie. They brought in Channing Tatem back for 10 minutes of the movie and we never see him again? We don't hear about what happened to the other characters from the previous movie...that part kinda made my head confused a bit.

Other than that and the Cobra ultimate weapon idea and London getting the shaft again, the movie was really fun to watch

Yeah, the Adult Swim broadcast was what AFN screened. Got it all in one chunk.

People, my sister, fraternity brothers, squadmates, etc., always ask me why I like G.I. Joe so much.

And aside from growing up on the comics and action figures, I realized that the G.I. Joe team is what I aspire to be in the military.

Competent, brave, sure of purpose, ably led, and honest; the G.I. Joe is what the U.S. Military should strive to emulate.
