5 minute webisodes, then the whole thing wrapped up on Adult Swim with an extra ten minutes? Written by Warren Ellis?

Holeee Fuck.

THIS is what the GI Joe movie should have been :)

Hm...am I imagining or does it actually look like there will be actual injuries and even perhaps death (by sword even)? Always one of those pesky problems with the original series, I guess, to make it more acceptable for afternoon kiddie shows: massive firepower, no casualties.

First two are up on Adult Swim, third I've already seen on YouTube.

And yeah, there are casualties in this one. Not going to spoil the effects on the JOEs, but let's put it this way, Warren Ellis had this conversation with the folks at Hasbro:

The people at Hasbro were actually remarkably supportive. And I did apologise after shouting at them those times. And they did give me one of those conversations that you never really expect to have when growing up:

HASBRO: No, Warren, you cannot wipe Beijing from the face of the earth.

ME: Shit. (pause) What about Moscow?

HASBRO: Wiping Moscow from the face of the earth would be fine.
