I think it says a lot about G.I. Joe as a brand and a property when they take what was arguably their strongest female character and kill her off, but are then able to find another equally strong female character to take the lead in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation sequel. Twitziller recognizes the critical importance of Lady Jaye in the realm of G.I. Joe as well in today’s update.
#4:
Various clips, trailers, and TV spots have shown a Lady Jaye who is “take no prisoners” and “take no gruff” from anyone. She is able to let all the men’s comments slide off her back, and lets her actions on the field of battle prove her worth to the G.I. Joe team.
As the apparent weapons expert and marksman of the G.I. Joe team, Lady Jaye unleashes all sorts of weapons of destruction through the film and Adrianne Palicki does a great job backing it up. There is no doubt she is a key player in this universe and her introduction in this film has made a big impact.

Well, to be fair, there are only 8 reviews so far.
And to be fair, when Rise of Cobra launched, it had great Rotten Tomatoes ratings after a few days as well. So trying not to get hopes up too much, but currently, after 8 reviews, the Rotten Tomatoes rating for G.I. Joe: Retaliation is at 88% with reviews being by and large quite glowing and positive. I do fully expect this to change over the coming days, but so far out of the gate, I like what I see.

I swear, I’m making efforts to try and not post every one of these things that I see but I’m really looking forward to seeing Cotrona’s portrayal of Flint in the new G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, so I do feel compelled to at least post this video interview from I Am Rogue. It’s a pretty decent and blunt one-on-one with the actor.
I plowed through the first four of these figures pretty quickly, but the last two have kind of been in limbo due to availability (or lack thereof). Big thanks to friend of the site Loc, who lent me his Storm Shadow so I was able to get this review done during my “Road to Retaliation” event!
I can’t believe the road is ending this week.
Check out the review on my 30th Anniversary page, or just take a peek at the direct link below. One thing that became perfectly clear during the review of this figure… I need a new vintage T’Ginzu! Yellow-city.
