G.I.Joe General Discussion

Sick Day Cartoon Break – G.I.Joe Resolute

Ah, kids & germs are the best of friends, amirite? Mix those two with a day care? Now you’re talking about a petri dish of FUN!

What does this have to do with toys? Good question, here’s the scoop –

My youngest came home with a case of HFMD (hand, foot and mouth disease) and as fate would have it, I picked up this wonderful gift!

When I was young, I would always snuggle in to bed and watch cartoons when I was sick. So why should now, as an adult, be any different? So with that, my friends, I invite you to join me as I fire up the Cartoon Machine and press start on one of my favorite iterations of G.I.Joe – Resolute!

Friends, please note: G.I.Joe Resolute is intended for mature audiences. With that, let’s get to it!

G.I. JOE Resolute | Full Film | G.I. JOE Official

The terrorist organization Cobra unleashes a new scheme to take over the world, and it’s up to the G.I. Joe elite commandos to stop them.

G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe, selected for their elite abilities in their chosen disciplines. Officially, G.I. Joe doesn’t exist, and very few know the truth: that these heroes fight a secret battle, as the first and last line of defence against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos.

The G.I. Joe team consists of many amazing specialists including:

– SNAKE EYES: Snake Eyes is a total mystery, but when it comes to G.I. JOE operations, he’s the best there is. Snake Eyes is a natural fighter with abilities that border on the supernatural.

– SCARLETT: A field operative with intelligence levels so far off the charts that new charts had to be created to measure her aptitude for analysis and strategic thinking.

– ROADBLOCK: A one-man wrecking crew, Roadblock lives up to his codename with exceptional strength and the courage to stand and face any threat.

– DUKE: Duke is the go-to squad leader capable of command on any type of mission. A decorated operative who has set records, received commendations, and achieved honors every step of the way. Cobra has many nefarious members including:

– STORM SHADOW: Storm Shadow is an elite Cobra ninja operative and an exiled member of the Arashikage ninja clan, one of Japan’s legendary families. He trained in their methods of infiltration and combat.

– BARONESS: A brilliant master of disguise and psychological manipulation, the Baroness is in control of every situation.

– COBRA COMMANDER: The leader of Cobra is the most treacherous and despicable criminal the world has ever known. Cobra Commander has channeled his boundless ambitions into building a worldwide criminal organization with one goal: global domination at any cost.

– DESTRO: A brilliant businessman, weapons developer, and engineer, Destro strictly adheres to a quiet personal code that places war, profit, and the success of his own family above all other things.


I wish we would’ve gotten more Resolute, but hey, I’m happy that we at least got this! It sure does help get my mind off of these fun little sores. ❤

Thanks for joining me and no worries, we’ll of course watch more cartoons this coming Saturday! 🙂 See you there!

    Loved this movie (Warren Ellis sure did a great job!) Finally an adult, updated version of GI Joe which nonetheless still stuck to the basics (G.I. Joe: Renegades… *Beurk*). Too bad nothing else was done with it anymore… ah well, at least we got some cool figs out of it. :s

      I’m hopeful that we get something like Resolute again in the future. I can’t speak for everyone, but it would seem that folks in our age group (over 20, under 60), seem to have enjoyed it, although the ending felt rushed (understandably so).
