Cobra Commander revealed (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter JoeZhang
- Start date
Man, any Cobra Commander cosplayers that show up for the opening are going to get some weird assThe way things are, I can just see it on the 6 o'clock news now.
Actually, that'd be cool, because at this point, any Cobra Commander cosplayers that show up will likely be carrying picket signs!
I say definitely put that shit on the 6 O'clock news!
The source material was he was a used car sales man that became a terrorist because Snake Eyes drove his family off the road in a car accident.
You really expect the mass public to not laugh their asses off at that?
Again, the source material has Zartan turning colors to blend into a wall and built a man out of DNA dust and called him "Serpentor"!
What you really need to make people shit bricks: Cobra Command, and a phalanx of vipers.Man, any Cobra Commander cosplayers that show up for the opening are going to get some weird ass

And the terrorist in the see-through Ant-Man mask is less comical?
And again, it also includes that same used car salesman taking over entire countries, putting a contract out on his own son and shooting people in the head for not thinking positive! Which mask do you think fits that Cobra Commander more?

I like the battle helmet. The mirrored visor...you see your reflection. It's mysterious like the humanoids in The Black Hole.
Instead they turned his head into Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Wow, ickies. Not fond of that look for the character at all. It surprises me that they got the look of a few key characters right (Snake Eyes, Stormshadow and Baroness in particular) but strayed so far from this one. I mean, it's not going to keep me away from the movie, but I would've preferred a variant on the battle mask m'self.
The see thru one from the movie.The source material was he was a used car sales man that became a terrorist because Snake Eyes drove his family off the road in a car accident.

Modern terrorists aren't afraid to show their faces anymore.
He's got no family and isn't associated with any country, what's he hiding under a hood for?

Why stop at one phalanx? Quote General Austin in issue one: "Cobra has LEGIONS!"

Unless they intend to survive their terrorist acts and therefore don't want to get caught.
I not normally one to say "OMG they're raping my childhood" but...
OMG! They're raping my childhood!

He looks like the last appearance of lex luthor from smallville (post michael rosenbeum) wearing that oxygen mask
Wow. I wonder if Paramount can change their minds at the last minute? Would it be possible to refilm scenes with the Cobra Commander with the proper attire? If they don't, they could have a massive failure here. From the comments on that page, it looks like even non Joe fans think it looks stupid. Really, the costme wasn't that hard. I could've seen teaser posters with Cobra Commander in his original costume standing triumphantly, and the word Command above him. I'm worried abour Destro now as well. Those two are such iconic characters in the GI-Joe universe, changing one thing would alienate the fanbase. I bet Destro will ony have half of is face be silver, or a silver eye patch or something. Honestly, how could Hasbro agree to a design change this drastically on a main character? Say what you will about Micheal Bay, if he were directing, or even producing this movie, the villains wouldn't have changed a bit. Look how close he got with Optimus Prime? The only thing he changed was that he added flames to the paint job, and that even got a lot of flak. Oh, well, I'll save my money for the new Indy game that comes out the same month. I never thought I would say that abou a movie like this!
I loved GI Joe more than any other toys as a kid. I loved the comic too.
This really sucks for a few reasons - number two is it looks LAME and it is not necessary to make him an old buddy of one of the Joes who gets burned and wants revenge. His regular origin was very cool - either the used car salesman or the pyramid scheme stuff.
But the number one reason this is a mistake? If you are lucky enough for the filmmaking Gods to hand you a Darth Vader level, iconic villian - you. don't. change. a. fucking. thing.
Assholes.

Actually, I think CC's brother got drunk and smashed into a car carrying Snake-Eyes' parents and sister, and killed them.
