IGN is at it again, this time featuring another two full minutes of G.I. Joe: Renegades footage pulled from the two part series premier which airs Friday, November 26th at 5:00pm! Giving us a brief introduction to several of the main characters and a nice peek at some action against the Bio-Viper, we start getting a better idea of what to expect from this new series.
While there certainly seems to be a somewhat humorous element, that’s mostly overshadowed by the action, and even with lasers instead of bullets, the firefight is pretty tense.
I will say right up front that I seriously hope the Bio-Viper does NOT become the defacto Cobra enemy in the series. I don’t mind seeing them appear once in a great while, but if all of a sudden the Bio-Vipers make up the backbone of the Cobra army, I will be annoyed. I want to see plenty of human-on-human combat here, too.
Check out the embedded clip below.
Thanks to the MS GulfCoast GIJoe Collectors Club for the heads up!
so the day before halloween, we heard a crash on the porch. i looked out to see that a cat had tried to get to our bird, a parakeet named “Belle”. Belle’s cage was splayed open in the garden below, having fallen from the table it was on, and Belle herself was sitting on the driveway across the street. That damned bird let me get within a hands length of grabbing her before she fluttered into the woods behind our neighborhood. despite Belle’s escape from the cat’s maw, my wife was pretty upset.
however, to my surprise, the next morning, she wanted to go get another bird. ended up getting two birds, one of each sex, as well as a new, larger cage…whatever makes her happy, right?
i jokingly said that she should call the new parakeets “Alice” and “Cooper”. Lo and behold, she liked the idea!!!
so now we have two birds collectively named after one of my favorite performers!
Oh, and that clip looks awful.
I can hardly wait to read the continuous episode recaps from the same individuals who will constantly tell us how awful each episode was this season.
not from me M6D…..im not watching.
So, as an optimist, I’m still disappointed in the sound department. I can deal with the animation, and I can deal with the humor. I really don’t like what I’ve heard in this show…that action scene had some interesting visuals, which were very weakened by the weak sounds. I hope this is still “early”, but with the premiere happening in two days, I’m not enthusiastic.
BTW 788 – we get it. You don’t care for this show. I can understand why, but please consider that every time you post something as snarky as what you posted above, it feels like you’re calling the rest of us idiots for having some enthusiasm, and that’s just uncalled for. That said, I respect your opinion, and welcome some more direct and objective criticism, even ideas of how they could “do it better”. Just my .02. Please don’t take it as a slam, just an observation about how I’ve interpreted your comments.
thicken your skin for XXXX sake.
sorry about the “XXXX”……pete didnt want his name used.
Hey 788, we got it, you don’t like Renegades. Can you just let it go. It gets really annoying see you post time and time again on each Renegades post saying some snide comment. I think you are confusing Justin’s site with another one that likes to complain all the time.
Do I think this show looks perfect? No, but I don’t think it looks bad either. I’m eagerly anticipating its debut and will reserve my final judgement until then. Unlike all the naysayers around here saying it sucks every time they see a small segment or piece of art.
I have to agree with Nas about the sound mixing; that fight with the Bio-Viper was pretty well ruined by the absence of proper sound effects.
I have to agree with 788 about pretty much everything he’s said so far. Btw, congrats on the new birds. Alice Cooper is a legend, they should be proud.
On a related note, Pete said he doesn’t mind of you use his name in that context. 😉
