What In God’s Name Is Happening to the New G.I. Joe Cartoon
 |
?Hasbro just released a new screenshot from the new/upcoming G.I. Joe Renegades AND OH GOD WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER FACE WHAT’S WRONG WITH EVERYBODY’S FACES. I don’t think there’s a need to panic — I saw a clip of Renegades at SDCC, and it looked nothing like this — at the very least, I don’t recall Scarlett being Asian — but good lord, this looks rough. It’s what I’d expect if someone made a cartoon for Wal-Mart rip-off The C.O.R.P.S. (Via ToyNewsI)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
