After what seems like forever, G.I. Joe: Resolute will wrap up its long and rocky road tonight, one way or another. Airing on Adult Swim tonight at midnight as a full 60 minute feature, AdultSwim.com promises the episodes will be online shortly thereafter.
The final ten minutes aired on Teletoon in Canada last night, and of course, the footage has already made the YouTube rounds. To avoid spoilers, I’ll embed the video after the break.
Honestly, the finale didn’t rock my world. I always had a suspicion that the 60 minute time limit and “short burst” episodes might end up hurting the “flow”, and I think I was right. The final culmination of this story didn’t feel very final, and didn’t have a real “impact”, and I think most of that is due to the limitations of episode length.
Still, I’m thrilled to finally see the series air in its entirety, and best of all, this animated feature has led the way to some fantastic looking toys. At any rate, watch Adult Swim tonight, check out adultswim.com on Monday, show your support for Resolute! Do whatever you need to do… write your congressman, harass Hasbro, pester Cartoon Network. Let them know how much you loved Resolute and how much you demand to see more. It wouldn’t hurt to watch the footage on Adult Swim.com a few thousand times as well. 😉
Well, the full run of Webisodes have aired, and they’re all up on YouTube now. And if you check out my customized playlist below, they’ll play all in order in one shot! Enjoy! 😉
Just as the 10-part Webisodes wrapped up, HDRoom.com has received some images from the Resolute final set to air on Adult Swim this weekend (Saturday at Midnight to be exact). Check out the article here, or check out the images mirrored below. They look great! Duke is apparently a fast healer. :shifty:
Right on schedule, AdultSwim.com has posted the latest two episodes of Resolute, episodes 7 & 8. As always check them out at the Resolute video page here.
I am a bit curious, because the site says episodes 9 & 10 will be shown tomorrow, but I was under the impression that the last part wouldn’t air until it was aired on television…also thought the last part was a 10 minute finale. Guess we’ll find out. As far as I know, these aren’t YouTube’d yet, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
EDIT: Okay, I went back through my notes (yes I have notes from Joe conventions on my computer…I realize that’s sad), and the initial report was 10 5-minute episodes with a 10 minute finale for a total of 60 minutes. So not only does that mean we get two more episodes tomorrow night, it means there are essentially two MORE episodes after that! W00t! 🙂
We’re getting close to the finale…I’m excited, but bummed at the same time. This has been an awesome ride, I don’t want it to end! I know full well Hasbro has geared up to move on to the film stuff, I just hope this Resolute universe doesn’t just end up floating away. It’s too cool to be treated like that. We’ll see, I guess.
