Which Mask for Cobra Commander

[gkokujin]

Speaking of which, everyone in this film is wearing friggin' black! This leaves the general public (and myself, an actual Joe FAN) to scratch heads and ask..."Who are the bad guys?"

Blame the Matrix and Bryan Singers XMen

I always wondered how the **** he saw out of that thing.

when you got six eyes im sure you can find away.


remember in GI Joe the movie, they showed the inside of his faceplate.

Like Doctor Doom said the comics (and toy line) came first in 82 then the animated series.

Joe fans adhere to the comics origin. The cartoon one came at the very end of the series with an animated Joe film that most fans found to "comic booky" (an odd attitude I find, especially given the stuff we had in Season 2, which fans love)

Ok, so putting you on the spot.....which origin should the movie adhere to?

The film should follow the idea of a disenfranchised american starting his own terrorist cell. It is a very original idea and theme and unfortunatly in todays climate no one has the balls t oput this into a film because "americans can't be terrorists".

Well, if i had to choose, I see we think alike. The hybrid human reptile thing is to unbelievable so the comic origin works better. It would be a nice twist having CC be American also,although I see them tweaking it by having his origin from another country.

While I'll admit the whole Cobra-La origine story (From the '80s cartoon) is way too out there to be put into the movie (Probably even within a series of movies), if I would have had the final say, I would have done exactly what the cartoon did which is not to reveal the back ground story and leave it a mystery as long as possible (After all: It took 2 years and the G.I. Joe movie before we had any hint as to who -or what- Cobra Commander was). That way, everybody can choose the origine story they want (... Heck: There could even then, after 3 or 4 G.I. Joe movies, have been a "G.I. Joe Origine: Cobra Commander" movie! -Wow, just for that possibility: I actually like my idea of not revealing the origine of CC in this first movie even better now then when I started writing this!!)

... But then, I'll admit to being 100% biased to the cartoon story of Cobra Commander because it is the only one I ever new (Never got to read the other one)... But then again: CC being this cast away scientist who hides his face behind a mask because he is both non-human and disfigured with multiple eyes is pretty damn cool nontheless!

I would be happy if they kept CC's origin a secret.

If you are refering to the whole Serpentor creation, it was one of my all time favorite cartoon runs and reveals as to everything behind the Comander.

No, actually: Serpentor's creation was a whole separate story (During the original 2 year series) from the Cobra-La (From the movie; here a link to see the movie on you tube, in case you're interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZdgIA7E1xU).

Serpentos origin was the mini series to start up season 2 (Arise Serpentor Arise)

I wouldnt mind if there was no CC origin in the film. Why would it be so bad to just have the movie start and Cobra and Joe are already established?

That's the way that I think they should've done, instead of this "Rise of Cobra" origin BS. Do we really need to know how Cobra Commander created Cobra? The less we know about Cobra, the most mysterious they become and better villain they will be.

I agree, the less we know, the better.

And (not) knowing is half the battle

Hahaha

I agree, never was a fan of every comic theme movie, always having to show the origin of EVERYTHING, lets us just watch.

 

[That-Guy]

Blame the Matrix and Bryan Singers XMen

And don't forget the costumes of Brett Ratner's MatriX-Men: The Last Stand.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Too many origins to fit in 1 movie I am thinking, there is CC, Destro, Snake Eyes.......I just hope it was all handled well.

I like it. Not that I don't approve of his other looks, but it could've been a lot worse.

What does his bio on the back say? It won't let me enlarge the picture at their site without signing up.

What does his bio on the back say? It won't let me enlarge the picture at their site without signing up.

The bio says:

The deviously brilliant leader of COBRA demands complete allegiance from his followers as he works toward his ultimate goal of controlling the world.
He hides a deadly secret few others know, just as his mask covers disfiguring damage from a fiery accident.

Preferred Weapon:
M.A.R.S. Industries radical exponential nan-injector system
