Cobra characters to be posted tomorrow

Mon Apr 20, 2009, 9:04 PM
OK here are the last two Joe characters- Falcon and Beachhead... tomorrow Cobra starts going up and then that is it for G.I. Joe for a while as I will start posting non-G.I. Joe stuff up over the next two-three weeks. Hope some one likes them.

Anyone watch the new G.I. Joe cartoon? It looks really GRRREAT! Parts 1-4 have me wanting more... this is exactly what I wanted from a live action movie however Hollywood completely screwed up the idea of G.I. Joe with what they are putting out- sure I have only seen the trailer for the movie however that is enough to know it isn't the G.I. Joe I grew up with. G.I. Joe was all about individuals unique characters that wear sometimes silly and unpractical "costumes" into battle... GI Joe was never about the team wearing matching uniforms. I know I am the one who will rag on people who think their clothes is a reflection of their personality and on people who think they are non-conformist because they want to dress up all punk or emo or whatever when in fact they are conforming to an image that they see on TV or in a mag... It is funny to me how they look like everyone else in their group but yet thing they are different because their next-door neighbor never heard of the obscure band they listen too. Well anyway I like the village people concept of G.I. Joe sure I want it a little less clownish and a little more military in my old age (which the new cartoon captures perfectly) then I wanted it in my youth- just with out the neon... the "here shoot me, I am wearing bright Red or Yellow or Green Neon so you can see me" was really really bad even when I was 12 in 1992.

I agree with what you said about the [link] movie, now granted ive havnt seen that many episodes of the old sunbow cartoon(but i am trying to improve there) but from what i have seen it was a load of unapolagetic big dumb fun and sadly what this new film has done is sucked all the fun out of it and turned it into x-men (which as you may remember went dramaticaly downhill after the first movie). Its nice to know someone out there agrees with me........oh yeah and resolute does indeed kick arse

Sweet, another GI Joe fan... thanks for faving Scarlet! Your group shot is very cool, I should do one like that. ;)
Thanks... yup I am another G.I. Joe fan.
Oh and by the way... Your new Avatar is really quite annoying isn't it :)
I have a few drawings of Optimus Prime and Starscream somewhere around however they are very old and I doubt worth putting up... I do like the TF G1 stuff because that is what I grew up with... so perhaps latter I will draw some of those... I am not so sure about the Movie stylings because Bumblebee will aways be a Yellow VW Bug to me
oh no no not Transformers

a Game called Team Fortress two

dont know if youve heard about it, but its pretty awesome, look it up

oh... I heard of it never played it... just googled it and yes the characters do look pretty cool. I was looking forward to Battlefield Heroes however I have a Mac and those cool things just don't run on Macs- just one of the drawbacks of having an apple.
yeah, I dont like macs because you cant do lots of cool stuff haha

but i think you can play call of duty 4 on a mac..
