Serpentor

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

Given the mixed feelings towards Serpentor. Do we want him on a sequel? If so how can we deal with him? Is he the combination of the genes of the worlds greatest soldiers/leaders or something else? Remember to vote; this I command!
Should he have the Golden Cobra Armor? or something else?

No Links to COBRA LA for me...

I say have the Commander/JGL don the golden armor towards the end of the sequel and then deliberately lampoon it.

I wanna see Serpentor on the big screen cause he's so over the top. To have a bad guy in gold is just very odd. Don't get me started on his battle cry. Can a Serpentor be done seriously? Yes. with a lot of tweaking.

If they do a GI Joe vs. Transformers movie and based if loosely off of the Serpentor arc of the GIJVTF comics, where he is a synthetic lifeform reverse engineered from Megatron, then I could see him possibly working. Otherwise, I'd say he sucks and should not be in a movie ever.

[GhostPoet]

No. And simply because he doesn't work with the film storyline. Let's just keep it Cobra vs Joe for the films. :)

btw...off topic. When are we getting GI Joe Resolute on DVD?? that series is freaking awesome.

For the direct sequel to the first movie... No! for the trilogy, maybe. Depending alot of how he would be used.

Me personally would probably explain Serpentor as Cobra Commander's ultimate projects... Like, Cobra Commander and Dr.Mindbender had created a serium that the user faster stronger abilities, without mind control, or with the ability to be able to control the minds of the cobra soldiers just by thoughts... the serum intended on being used on the cobra commander is actually used on a g.i.joe who is fired or some story where he is left behind. i dont know leave that up to the writers but make it somehwat believable.

I'd prefer steering clear of Serpentor, a little too cheesy (even for GI Joe). I really enjoyed the Serpentor storyline where Cobra was searching for the DNA of the greatest warriors/leaders/etc. to create Serpentor. Such a great arc in the animated series but it'll just be lame in the live-action. Stick with Cobra Commander, Destro, etc.

What was with so many characters not making the cut for the film or getting snuffed out already?

1 word: run time. The more characters you try to fit into a 2 hour movie, the more you risk it turning into a revolving door of extended cameos like Wolverine.
