Hi, just finally seen resolute and noticed a few things that i noticed, made me think of the action force vertion of some Cobra members, like how the Destro was a cyborg like Red Jackal. What made more noticed how more violent and ruthless Cobra Commander to his staff like the death of the red trooper near the end and the slaughter he did before hiding the bomb shelter. It made me think of the Ironblood version of the Commander then the Sunbow/DIC version or Hama's version. Learning that Warrren Ellis was the writer and had NO knowledge of the US version of the Joes, but did know of Action Force did conferm my subspicsions. Sadly still Cobra troopers STILL CAN'T AIM for the life of them, only one alley viper got lucky against Duke and that's it.
I do agree with DAMartin that Major Blood's Death was over the top, BUT Ellis's work is known to be over the top, if not for Hasbro I asume, it would be more of his normal bloody Gore and perverted flesh matter and a M or NC-17 rating. The idea of Duke being a jerk I also agree especally he wanted to KILL the Commander. He had every reason to, but what made Joes different for Cobras was the use of Justice not Vengence, and Duke crossed the line. Even Flint nearly crossed that like against Dela Eden, but still chosed Justice over Vengence. But this is Warren Ellis writing style, so that one should expect. Atleast he repected how the Joes and Cobra should be... well except Storm Shadow it was nice, but it remined too much like Cobra Commander Brainwave Scannered him to madness and died for a twisted lie and delusions.
At least as expected the writing is well done, just as was mentioned by DAMartin, a few charactors was a bit under or over done due to Ellis's lack of of GI Joe lore.
