I liked the 86 version and the cartoons and the comics version of serpentor. But the 25th line of serpentor is just nasty. Hasbro really dropped the ball on this remake.
I only bought the single carded one just to complete the collection and im holding off on the vehicle set serpentor is even worse then the single carded one. I hope hasbro picks the ball on the dvd set.

I have to agree.
I hope that no one takes offense, but in my humble opinion Serpentor is a real bummer of a character and probably should have never been introduced in the GI JOE/COBRA series. No real need for Serpentor or for Cobra La in my little GI JOE/COBRA fiefdom. I felt this way even as youngster. With all that said I know that some folks love both Serpentor and Cobra La. To each their own!

I wholeheartedly agree!! I left out the Star Brigade and all of those jokers as well...I even had a dislike for BattleForce 2000.

I liked Serpentor as a kid and I don't hate him now. He was great in the Marvel comics and a real badass in the 87 movie. I think they should have spread out his creation in the comics over a 12 issue seperate run. It would have been very cool.

I think on its own the idea of creating the ultimate conqueror from DNA was kind of neat. I collected the comics from issue #1, and never paid much attention to the cartoons back then. The way the Marvel series handled him was OK. But to me Cobra Commander was always the big cheese of Cobra who was ruthless and cunning not an idiot like in the cartoon.
All in all, being a big fan of there really was no room for Serpy in my collection or my Joe universe. I felt the toyline went down hill after he was introduced. So I guess I despise the character for various reasons. Although I'm a CC fan, I just wish that if you're going to bring in a character like Serpentor, he really needs to despose the old leader and that leader needs to go away for good. I know the cartoon probably couldn't have killed CC off, but the Joes could have locked him away in prison and then the series could have just forgtten about him.

Here's the thing, Cobra Commander invited treachery. In the toon he was playing his lackeys against each other, Zartan and Destro.
Sooner or later they'd realize what CC is all about and lose any loyalty they had to him. None were very loyal to begin with. The rank and file were scum and criminals, loyal to greed and power. They'd get tired of losing battles as much as anyone. Serpentor makes perfect sense in the cartoon. When you factor in the unlikely science of combining long dead DNA...then the Cobra-La involvement, the psychic motivator gave Mindbender the knowledge of hyper genetic manipulation, can cover that. Less sense in the comic, where Serpentor was Dr. Venom's plan, and then CC green-lighted it hoping to make a super soldier. Why just one? And was it Venom's plan to overthrow cobra commander? Anyway, in the comic book, the power structure had been an issue since Destro arrived. Cobra Commander also ticked off his hierarchy. Baroness and Bludd tried to have CC killed. Destro and Firefly once vowed revenge after being left in the swamp. Plus Cobra Commander lost face when Springfield fell while he was safely on Cobra Island. No wonder some would back a new horse. That said, I never liked Serpentor's costume. Not paramilitary enough, too much like someone who'd fight Spiderman or such. |

I can't stand Serpentor. I love Cobra Commander & after they made Serpentor they tried to make CC a complete friggin retard. I hate Serpentor for that. His costume is goofy & his air chariot is friggin ridiculous. I try to ignore Serpentor as much as possible.
How Ironic, the dvd pack "Arise Serpentor Arise" should be delivered to my house later today. I bought it for the B.A.T. so don't give me no ****! lol |
