Hehe.....I can tell you right now without a shadow of a doubt we will go through endless pages of how horrible they look by those "certain" individuals. I actually think that some people are inflicted with some sort of chemical imbalance that automatically causes them to hate ANYTHING involved with this movie.

I can live without blue as Cobra's trademark color. I'd go for black.

Perhaps, for the first film, he could be sporting a "proto-costume", like this:







As for Destro and the whole "cobra commander working in the shadows ala Star Wars' emperor" rumor-thing...

if I were in charge of the whole thing, I'd have Destro be a sort of "Ra's Al Ghul" (Batman Begins' interpretation of the character). That is: He finds in Cobra Commander (who isn't called that way yet) the suitable "apprentice"/tool to achieve his "long term global master plan", like with Bruce Wayne.

Think of Hitler for a moment. He came out of nowhere. Slowly, through baby steps, he started to catch people's attention. He was a natural leader. A great orator. The "powers that be" found in him just what they needed. So they financed him.

So. Think of Destro as the main foe. He is the one the Joe team are after. At the same time, Destro (whose real identity isn't known at first, like with Ra's), starts to finance a new organization, "Cobra", under the leadership of Cobra Commander (who adopts this title).

What ends up happening is that the "apprentice" gets out of control, just like with Hitler and Bruce Wayne. Hitler was more than "The powers that be" bargained for. And Bruce Wayne doesn't go for Ra's ultimate goal and becomes a vigilante on his own as Batman. He learned all his tricks from Ra's, but he fights and stands for other ideals in the end.

And Cobra Commander? Well, he would end up getting out of Destro's grasp. In the end, he would no longer take Destro's orders and it would start to work the other way around. This will be the reason for their troubled relationship, which could certainly end bad by the third movie.



I really hope they go this route.

You might like this thred I started. Sounds like we have similar ideas about the Cobra organization.Cobra an inside job?

[MachineGunEtiquette]

knowing Stephen Sommers it will be Cg'ed and made of sand.
and look terrible.
But i have my hopes that it will be the hooded one and maybe for some hardcore action the silver faced one.

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

Id like him to look like the G.I. JOE CLUB all black armor Cobra Commander. IMO

[Dark 5cythe]

Why did he have the holster on his back anyway? A friend gave me an original hooded CC and Looking at the back, it looks to be some sort of laser/hair dryer charging station. What do you guys think?

If I had a gun plugged to my back and was in the middle of a firefight, I'm not sure I could reach the weapon if I tried. No wonder Cobra Commander is always running away...
