Im watching over all the old cartoons little by little and am just wondering why cobra always retreats? For an evil terrorist organization bent on world domination they sure dont put much effort into it. Destro seems to be the only real "bad ass" in the cartoon, but even he retreats when the going gets tough. It seems to me if the put for all their efforts they would have no problem dominating the world. They seem to vastly out number the joes, but because they are all lame ass they drop their weapons and retreat as soon as a joe shows up.
I never read the comic books, but was cobra like this in those too? |

Because as a cartoon/toy commercial made for children, the good guys always have to win without loss of life.

Naw... In the comics, Cobra was pretty damned BAD ASS! In fact in 1991, a Saw Viper killed off like 10 Joes at a time. He even hunted them down when they were trying to escape in a Cobra Rage...Blowing em off the sides as they rolled. It was up to Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow to give that SAW viper a stern talking to...as in they ripped him apart. Plus around the same time Battle Force 2000 were annihilated in a huge oil field refinery explosion! Cobra often times won and just when the Joes thought they had Cobra down for the count, Cobra would rise up with something that would F-up the Joe's hopes even more! Like when they created Cobra island and declared it a sovereign nation. I highly recommend the original Marvel comics, they were a more realistic take on GIJOE. In fact, they changed the way I played...When I played...the only time Cobra ran was when they were chasing the Joes. It was either kill or be killed!
nice! i love the cartoons (despite weird random storys like Excalibur, or the viper lol) but it always bugged me that cobra were such choads. Last edited by HissCommander; 09-14-2008 at 11:46 AM.. |

Shoot they are awesome today, you pick up on alot of little jokes that flew over your head as a kid. They don't write cartoons like that anymore.
