I saw the interview and it's very mixed for me.
I know everyone is raving about the greatest of Resolute and this is how G.I. Joe should be etc. But honestly it started out with a bang and by the last few episodes it kinda fizzled.
Of course I'm sour they killed Bazooka heartlessly, but from the interview Dos Santos made sense - here's a the loveable lug dead as a door nail. So I can understand that sacrifice for the plot.
But for the rest of the interview I wasn't as impressed as most of the fandom:
1. When asked about the deaths of SS, Zartan, and CC they obviously danced around the issue and gave a statement about how SE who respects life learnt a death blow, therefore it's plausible that SS who doesn't respect life might have learnt some mystic ninja life rejuv bull*&(^
TRANSLATION: If there's more Resolute, SS and Zartan aren't dead - and of course CC isn't dead because it wouldn't be Cobra without CC
- To me that hurts the whole showdown between SS/SE if SS is still alive, the impact is all lost. To me Resolute is like the final resolution to things, and SS/SE had their showdown - move on folks.
2. Dial-Tone excuse - very poor IMHO. Dos Santos thinks the character was a cool looking backpack and mic - umm Dos Santos my man, did you see season two of the Cartoon? Dial-Tone was a friggin front tier character on the show. If some things aren't broken then don't fix it. Name the chick Helix or whatever, but there's no rational reason to name her Dial-Tone. I bet if they portrayed SE as female in Resolute the fandom would be calling for the Directors' heads.
3. On a personal note, after seeing all 10 episodes, the Joes really needed to lose someone else, someone meaningful. As it stands they may have killed off SS, slightly less likely but Zartan and CC may have bit the dust - by my count Cobra was down 4, Joes were down 1. I think to get more impact to the seriousness of this show another more-high ranking Joe should have been off'd. That way if there's a Resolute 2, the Joes have another complexity to fight for.
Just my 2 cents.
