GI Joe: Resolute (crossposted and tweaked from gi_gripes)
(autumnslight, I've been meaning to steal your icon, and this is the perfect opportunity. The check's in the mail. XD)
If you've seen it you'll know why I'm here. If you haven't, here 'tis:
Do I need spoiler space for something that happens thirty seconds into the show?
I like the edge. I like that they're not afraid to kill. But seeing my favourite character lying stone dead in the opening scene is not going to endear me to this show. The icon above describes what my brain did after I got over the initial shock. I think it's still doing it a little.
I noticed a few things: he's in civvies, not in uniform. Secondly, the dagger in his chest has a very obvious Cobra motif. I have a bunch of unanswered questions which I am holding out faint hope (because apparently I am one of a very few people who actually like this character) will be answered. Mostly I want to know who killed him and why. Suddenly it's a murder mystery for me. :)
Somehow I find myself trying not to be all angry. I'm not happy, that's for sure, but I try to keep an open mind. That and this isn't the only continuity out there. And it just might get me to write some more. I was already working up what happens next/happened before in my head last night (once I got over the shock).
Now I know how the Lady Jaye fans must've felt during the Devil's Due comic run.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Apparently it's not out of my system yet. Now where's my laptop? It's not too ugly a day out yet and I've got some straightening out to do. *cracks knuckles*
