Movie Serpentor.... Arise???

Lo-Wan Bing · 12-07-2007, 05:24 PM

I noticed today that in all the setting up and re-setting up of my 25th ann. toys, I was always leaving the Serpentor out of the action... left in the toy tub with Cobra Legions SS and completly out of the action... It got me thinking about the movie and wondering where Serpentor's place in the movie is. Does anyone think he 'has' a place in the movie? I'm thinking maybe G.I.Joe 3 (like the comics he would be (created?) to replace the incompetant head of Cobra) who knows... But does want to see anything even close to Serpentor in a motion picture.... (he did, after all, end up with a 25th ann. figure before even Maj.Bludd)

NO. Serpy is sorta cool (In all incarnations) but I'd rather the live action movie stay with an Emperorless Cobra.

Serpy's backstory would be way too crazy for the average person. Maybe they can do a re-imagining in a sequel (Preferably many movies down the road) But you could never have the Serpy from the comics or toon on the movie

Serpentor will have no place in the trilogy.

This, I command.

Agreed. Although I like Serpentor alot, he really doesn't have a place in the movie. Maybe in the future, yes, but for now, no.

The movie should start out at Cobra La, millions of years ago, where we are introduced to Cobra's leader throughout any movie: Golobulous!

j/k

...but I'd settle for a Crystal Ball appearance.

In movie 3 or 4 yes. I could see him coming in the 4th movie to refresh after a trilogy.

I dont understand why all the negativity towards Serpentor.. he was a bad ass mofo, The perfect human being created from genetics by cobras mad scientists .. how can it get better than that.. I agree on he should be introduced later on.. but he was raw..

You know, I like much of the comic book depiction of Serpentor. Especially when he returned in the DDP series and was convinced he was a god. That was fairly interesting. But I just don't see it translating well to film. Especially not early in a (hopeful) franchise.

I sure don't.
