It's a foregone conclusion that the upcoming GI Joe movie is going to be, well, awful, even with Ray Park as Snake-Eyes. Even if it's not outright camp, it fails the Marlon Wayans test (which is simply "Is Marlon Wayans in this movie?") and is virtually guaranteed to be a celluloid atrocity (is it antiquated to invoke celluloid now?).
If you're still longing for the good ol' days of body counts, outrageous technology and globe-shattering master plans, you might want to check out GI Joe: Resolute. In lieu of Larry Hama (with whom GI Joe should eternally be associated), it's written by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
warren_ellis, and yeah, that's immediately intriguing. In the first episode the body count's two named (and I'm sure much beloved) characters, along with a few million bystanders. Two episodes are online already -- the second of which is pretty much Snake-Eyes in action and perfectly so. I'm already pulling for this to be the new lingering narrative and not whatever comes out in theaters, but it's got the feeling of one last swing for the fences before the new team steps to the plate. Ambitious and a bit audacious, a worthy last hurrah so far.

Considering this aired on Adult Swim they should've paired the little 4-8 minute Resolute episodes with the Fensler parodies. PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

I took the ending as pilot-fodder, just enough resolution (actually, maybe a bit less) for a narrative ending while leaving enough holes open for continuation (and I've heard nothing on that front, and that likelihood will probably evaporate once the movie hits). Did leave me with at least one question: what the hell was up with Major Bludd? Or did they have to excise how he fit into the scheme of things for brevity?
