Although we’ve heard no new news officially about the debut of G.I. Joe: Renegades, TV focused website MultiChannel.com has posted an article about The Hub’s new On Demand television service (which I checked out for myself over the weekend).
The biggest news for Joe fans in this article is the tail end paragraph, which reads:
“In December, this fresh fare will follow: G.I. Joe Renegades, R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series and multiple installments of Transformers Prime.”
The above article also reiterates the statement the The Hub will show some “sneak previews” of upcoming shows on October 10th, but The Hub themselves still shows no evidence of this on their Program Schedule.
I’m not sure why Hasbro or The Hub couldn’t have made this information public by now, since it’s apparently news out there somewhere, but there you go. Check out the article right here. We will endeavor to get some clear information about this as soon as possible.
” We will endeavor to get some clear information about this as soon as possible.”
Don’t bother. Notice the lack of comments on most of the Renegades articles? Most probably because after seeing what they’ve revealed so far, most GIJoe fans are past the point of caring about this latest atrocity.
Bring on PoC waves 3 & 4 !
“Bring on PoC waves 3 & 4 !”
YEAHHHHHHHHH, PoC!! Lol.
Yeah, I have to agree with HW here. Enough of the RENEGADES stuff for awhile. Sometimes, NO news is GOOD news, especially when it comes to this below par animation extravaganza. It’s like I said on another thread about the level of interest dwindling around here in direct correlation with the overabundance of RENEGADES “news”. Just scrolling through, and not counting the “Ad” threads for toy “stores” announcing new waves of this or that, everything is either about the crappy comics (have YET to really see anything about the series that picked up from the Marvel run out of all those either. What’s up there?) from IDW or a MASSIVE onslaught of non-information about the “Hub” and RENEGADES, with a small spattering of 12″ or GIJCC stuff.
Honestly, the RENEGADES bit could be left alone for quite awhile, or AT LEAST until there is actually something tangible to announce with absolute certainty. Constantly guessing about when or if the thing will air, because Hasbro keeps changing things, is slightly boring and even more annoying considering there are so many threads about the exact same thing already going, and no one is really even posting about it on 90% of them. Like I said, I’ve kept quiet on this thing for several months, up until a few days ago, when I’d finally just had enough of the same stuff and none of it any good. I wanted to give it a chance before I commented on it one way or another, but at this point, all I’m seeing is the same thing over and over and I’m seeing some really bad animation and design concepts. The lack of activity on all of these more recent threads indicates to me that no one really seems to care very much right now because of all the false alarms, if for no other reason.
I admire the passion you have for this stuff, Justin, but sometimes it’s better to let it lie at times, until there is actually something to work with. No offense to you, or RENEGADES, but right now, I’d rather see a review of something…ANYTHING…that doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with RENEGADES. …Unless you have previews of some of the figures being planned? Or you could tackle the mystery of WHY, if PoC is getting $#!tcanned after one run of 4 waves, we are seeing the PoC HISS Tank appearing in the animation, rather than simply having Dusty Abell to just design something new and unrelated, since I assume THAT is his job, and was his job on RESOLUTE as well. Or why RENEGADES doesn’t just pick up after RESOLUTE…even though the Joes kicked CC’s blue butt. These are things that may actually be interesting to readers that might be FUN to speculate about for a change of pace.
Heck, if worst comes to worst, make something up, lol. By that, I don’t mean create a lie about something that isn’t real, but to create an idea of your own GI Joe concept and maybe get some feedback on it or something. If I had Hasbro’s ear, I’d be pitching concepts left and right, and I’m sure they’d go for at least a handful of them, lol.
Ah well, it’s only my opinion anyway, though others seem to feel the same way right now. Hope you aren’t offended by my bluntness. I’m just sick of RENEGADES right now and we haven’t even seen anything of consequence, as yet, to get excited about. I can pretty much guarantee I won’t get excited about it anyway, based on what I’ve been seeing, but again, that’s my feeling on it currently.
