Im really stoked they brought a Joe cartoon back. While there are some great interpertations of the original characters, they still mess up both big n small.

1. Zartan and the Dreadnoks. While they are correcting Zartan, the Noks look and sound stupid.
2. Wild Bill's helicopter has a F'ing bull's skull on it. WTF?
3. Bio-Vipers...'nuff said

I know they are trying to sell this cartoon to this generation of kids but holy crap fix these problems.

Now Im done with the hate! Lets show some love. I like the team, and thier stolen coyote. All the easter eggs for old Joe character real names is so cool. Having the original Duke n Scarlett voice actors as Duke's parents is so sick!

Hopefully they keep the show on and tweak it a bit to make it better.

I have noticed the show getting better the last few episodes. Hopefully it will keep up.

There's a few things I would certainly have done differently, but I am pretty pleased, and am seeing it get better as it goes. I liked the skull...

I wish they had not changed Flint's rank. He's a Warrant, not a lieutenant, but I suppose it did allow them to do the history between Duke and Flint, which I did like. I don't necessarily mind that they made Lady Jaye Latina, but then they should have changed her name. Not sure which Latina group gives you Allison Hart-Burnett.

Otherwise I have been very happy with the show, and I am looking forward to how they play out this season and if they exonerate the Joe team this season, or keep them on the run longer.

I haven't been shy in my love of G.I. Joe: Renegades. I'm thrilled that a G.I. Joe cartoon is on the air again, and I love that the writing staff takes the history and the characters so seriously. The story is pretty captivating for a kid's show, and while the concept is an A-Team tribute to be sure, they are at least treating it as such and not trying to pretend it's not.

That being said, the show isn't perfect, for sure. I'm not a big fan of the Bio Vipers, though I know why they need them. The Joes need to be able to shoot and "kill" something, and they can't exactly have them gunning down human troopers.

I will also admit that while I like the "lead up" process... at some point I want to see some resolution. It seems as if we keep having these little one-off episodes that introduce some characters, but don't necessarily progress the storyline. I'm ready to see things start to evolve and move forward. Give us Cobra's ultimate goal. Tell us how the Joes are going to stop them and clear their name... It's been great, but I'm ready to start seeing things move.

This is the best interpretation of the 'Noks to date. The ARAH versions were horrible. At least can take the Renegades 'Noks seriously.

And finally, one of Joe's interpretations have shown how a master of disguise like Zartan ends up running with a biker gang. This version makes the most sense.

Never understood why Zartan looked like he did and hung with the 'Noks. But now its done in a way that makes sense.

if they end the series like the rumors say, i'll probably watch it. much like how i did Transformers: Animated

The Dreadnoks were really never intelligent to begin with in the previous cartoon continuity. I know Buzzer was actually smart according to his file card, but still dumb in the Marvel series when he stole Zartan's bike. No matter what, they have been dumb. And really, I kind of expect that from a lawless biker gang.

I didn't really dig Wild Bill's helicopter that much either. It wasn't so much the steer horns. I actually thought that was a nice touch. I just didn't think is was a chopper that suited him well.

I get the Bio-Vipers. I don't like them either, but the Joes need something they can destroy. It was BATs in the original series, Bio-Vipers now. I kind of wish they brought the BATS back, but I get they wanted something different and more advanced. Fortunately the writers have not used them as a crutch and put them in every episode. In fact, I haven't seen all that much of them after the first few episodes.

I don't love or hate it but I do enjoy it. I just saw episode 13 with the twins and it was a good episode. A bit bummed it will be on hiatus/canceled but hopefully it will come back.

Say what you will about Renegades, but you got to give them credit for writing in Airtight. He is finally getting his well deserved spotlight.
