you've said there is NO cobra organization in this movie...cobra commander is young because he hasn't started cobra yet, etc...
can we assume that we'll see all the origins of cobra in this one and be ready for the next one that is more like the story that everyone is familiar with...i.e., GI Joe vs. Cobra... that this movie is, for lack of other terms, a prequel for the story we're familiar with to come in the 2nd and 3rd movies? i'm totally spitballing here. gunslinger's comments about CC got me thinking about it. as long as we don't find out he's a nobleman/scientist from an ancient society that is hidden away in the himalayas...oh crap, the guy played an alien before... |

It's been stated that this is indeed an origin story for Cobra. About how this "Rex" character becomes "The Commander" and how his organization comes to be. All this in the context of Destro as the main villain this time around.
As for the nobleman-scientist angle. While there won't be any Cobra-La mumbo-jumbo, we know that Rex is a medic-scientist. SO. He's not a Cobra-La nobleman-scientist He's not a used cars salesman He's a medic-scientist from the military. If you ask me? I think it's actually an interesting take. CC having a scientific background, that is. Allows for a perverse mind who isn't necessarily interested in total power as much as he is in, say, unethical medical-scientific research. After all, since we're talking about what is "essential" for the mythos: if we were to only use the filecards as our basis, then ya all know how cryptic CC's filecards always were. So it's not like the makers are going against some established rule. The essence of the character will probably remain intact. And one of his filecard specialities is precisely experimental weaponry Think of people like Josef Mengele.

that's fine as far as his origin...it's probably good to show the origin of cobra...for the casual fans, etc.
i just hope he's not a nobleman scientist from an alien civilization POSING as a research scientist for the military...then we get nemesis enforcer next time around...that would suck worse than scarlett hooking up with Ripcord... well, maybe not. |

1. If anyone did have the script, it would not be shared here as it is property or Paramount.
2. This movie is meant to portray the beginning of the saga, both Joe & Cobra. |

I'm going to keep this as vague yet informative as possible.
James McCullen's MARS organization turns out to be not just a weapons manufacturer but a high-tech evil organization with weapons and soldiers bent on controlling the world. sounds like Cobra, save for the name and who controls it, doesn't it. but, if a certain disgruntled military scientist assumed control of said evil high-tech terrorist organization and it's soldiers and weapons, and perhaps changed its name, then what do you have... |

Look, since everyone wants a BIG PLOT GIVEAWAY, here, I'm going to tell everyone EVERYTHING, since that's what you all want, right?
3rd Rock Guy is playing with a glider that his dad made for him when he was young. Glider is run over by a humvee driven by duke. 3rd Rock Guy gets pissed, tries to buy a new glider. Ends up meeting destro, and buying a friggin predator UAV. 3rd Rock Guy changes clothing, beings sporting 1991 Cobra Commander Uniform...with, you guessed it, Glider. There is no Cobra, there is no Joe. They are called GUUD GAIZ AND BAED GAIZ. They speak LOLCAT throughout the whole movie. There. That should take care of any questions *for the humor impaired, this is a joke :P ;) * |
