I wish they hadn't killed her like they did. I would have loved to see a better figure made.

The way I got it was that the accident warps him into some kind of overprotection. The best way to protect her from the hurt? Change her so she doesn't care about it anymore. If he had some kind of obsession with banging her, he wouldn't have let McCullen flirt/fool around with her. No, it was about protecting her from the pain, so he altered her to be able to cope with it. But that was the weakest part of the whole movie, not enough explanation giving to why Rex didn't tell her he was alive, why he did use the nanomites on her, etc..

Thats funny I just watched the movie again this weekend and I did not see all of that.I saw the base destroyed and CC and Destro get captured, but looked to me that the Joes put all their resources into catching Destro and CC ,so all the Cobras in the submarines could have got away.What part did they get captured so I can go back and look for it.

"...taking out his own impotence of not being able to bang his own sister..."
CG82: Is this a personal fantasy? If not, what Rise of Cobra movie version did you watch? I don't recall this being a reason for Rex becoming CC. |

I floated the idea in Omegawrath's thread that Rex began building his army even before he joined the American Millitary. Perhaps he enlisted only to know his enemy better.
When he was caught in the bunker explosion and rescued by Destro, perhaps he saw nanomites and MARS as boons to arm his forces and increase their size. If this was the case, perhaps Cobra had standing orders to begin an attck at the time of the launch of the nanomite missles. This would facilitate a need for an Operation Mongoose on the part of Joe even with the Commander and Destro in custody. |

I'm thinking that when Rex became CC, and the emblem on the sub went from MARS to Cobra, it sent a signal to some hidden forces Rex had assembled around the world and the real Cobra forces (allowing a more traditional look in the sequal) rose up prompting Operation: Mongoose.

Rex is the only family the Baroness has left.
So what if their parents were both millitary, and both died serving their country? Rex blames the U.S. and vows revenge. He joins a snake cult and quickly takes over. Leaves the cult, with a second in charge, to join the U.S. millitary and learn everything he can about the enemy. Gets blown up in the bunker, joins up with Destro, secretly uses nanomites to take control of his operation. Outfits Cobra with MARS tech in secret while posing as the Doctor. Cobra is already in place and ready to strike evn with Destro and the Commander behind bars. With Cobra the real threat, the president pardons the Commander and Destro as vistoms of circumstance. Joe is all like WTF, but they've got the Baroness to lead them to Cobra. Baroness swerves them into a trap and the Comander reveals that he and Baroness were playing Duke the whole time so that they could have someone on the inside. Those bastards. |

The guys is a fry or two short of a happy meal, and the disfigurement and the lure of Mindbenders experiments were enough to bring CC out of Rex. The guy was already a scientist, all it took was the final incident to seperate himself from the rest of humanity to "justify" what he'd always longed to do, in his mind. Watching it through a second time, when he walks in on Ana and Duke and delivers the "Real American Hero" line, you can tell there's a bit of mockery in his voice. JGL is a great actor, a great actor with a weak script, but going back and watching is when I gleamed the bit about Science of the Lambs I mentioned earlier, and his portayal of CC made me think of Jamie Kennedy's line from Scream ..."It's the millenium, motives are incidental." CC never really had a spelled out plan, or in the beginning a reason why, he's almost scarier that way. Other then the horrible wig, and the new costume, I really liked his portrayal of CC.
