Immortal_Joker says
Sweet!!
SnakeEyes2184 says
I have full cofidence this movie will be incredible for us Joe fans.
Immortal_Joker says
As a wise Jaffa from another series once said: Indeed :-p
SnakeEyes2184 says
I have read the Script and Novel. The Novel is identical to the script with one big difference so far. In the novel Ripcord kisses Scarlett. On the confidential files there is no sign of that.
Stryfe2025 says
I actually ead the novelization and this book and it sounds like an awesome, if a little cheesy movie.
It's literally what it says it is, "The Rise of Cobra" so the characters we all know and love are just being introduced in classic form.
SnakeEyes2184 says
I love how we all worried about these characters background being changed and all their backgrounds are pretty much the same with just maybe the place of the brith and original names alternated.
CC is so twisted and so EVil that ARAH CC can't even hold his jock strap. Finally we see a Cobra Commander who is not bullied and look down upon. Cobra is what bad ass organization.
Jergor says
So Cobra Commander essentially has Destros life in his hands thus leading to Destro serving CC? And even goes so far as to brainwash his own sister?
Damn, he sounds vicious.
SnakeEyes2184 says
He also Brainwashes Destro who saved his life. He is one sick, twisted, demented little fucker and Joe fan will love it.
