I ran across this on YouTube. Old-school folks what do you think of G.I. Joe: Resolute? Here are the Webisodes.
Webisode 1
Webisode 2 (a lot of SnakeEyes action in this one)
Webisode 3

From Wikipedia:
G.I. Joe: Resolute is an animated series based on the G.I. Joe franchise, written by Warren Ellis and produced by Sam Register.[1] The series will be released online as ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute final episode. These episodes will then form an hour-long movie. The movie is scheduled for broadcast on Teletoon in Canada on April 24 as part of post 9 pm programming block, Teletoon Detour and on Adult Swim on April 25, 2009. It will be directed by Joaquim Dos Santos.[2] Voice actors include Steven Blum, Charlie Adler, and Grey Delisle. It premiered on Adult Swim Video on April 18, 2009, with a Content Rating of TV-14-V.

I love it. I like that they've stayed true to the animation style of the original series but have gone a little darker with the direction.

Doesn't look anything like the original.

Relative to the animation that we typically see these days, I thought it did. More modern, for sure, but I thought they kept to the same style for the most part. Of course, I haven't seen the original GI Joe for close to fifteen or twenty years so I'm going strictly by memory.

Yep, this is the part that I am liking. I'm happy with the webisodes so far and hope they continue to impress. I think they said they were aiming for a PG-13 rating so maybe they can throw in a few curse words too.

They seemed pretty good, but I wonder if development stopped at 3 webisodes or more are in the pipeline.

It's going to be a full length show on Cartoon Network. I think it's just a collection of these shorts though. I think it aires on the 26th or at some point around there.

I wasn't that impressed with what I saw though. Sure it was better, but I really just don't care.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.
