Enough with Anakin/Vader look alike as CC in this movie.
This is the "Real" way Cobra Commander rose to power, through rallies. See picture, Enough said.... |

I agree this is how Cobra Commander should be portrayed for the movie. But, this is Hollywood and there job is to fix (f***up) what ain't broken. I understand the whole KKK looking hood wouldn't be a great idea, but they still could have gone with old chrome dome or modified some how and still see the resemblence. Regardless I'm watching the movie and give it chance.

I like the movie origin better. he should have been ex-military. sorry but both the comic and cartoon origins sucked and looked slapped on.

I actually enjoyed the Ex-used car salesman background. It made him seem like a guy with a real history and it gave me a reason to believe in him. Why would anyone follow a madman unless he knew how to talk them into it. A used car dealer does this everyday.
Just my opinion.

Cobra Commander in the 80's was a used car salesman for 5 years; disgruntled. The blue collar people who attended the rallies were disgruntled and he formed Cobra that way. This makes more sense, then what ever the film is trying to portray. In the film CC is in a fire and his name is now REX? In the old storyline, they all bowed down to CC; in this film, Destro seems to be top cheese and CC is a burn victim licking his boots. Just look at the poster CC is in the back of the line. Isn't the film called rise of Cobra? It seems the real reason they don't want that storyline is because the Economy is in the flusher and the jobless rate is rising. There are many disgruntled people out there and they do not want to prevoke a revolution against the government we now have. Out of site = out of mind |

The new comic Origins is doing a good job.
The old comic is the best though. |

Isn't C.C.'s hood resembling a Klan hood a bit of a stretch. A Klan hood likes like a white dunce cap. The only similarities is both cover the face. Besides, the Klan are bad guys, so is Cobra, what's wrong with Cobra resembling a bad group of people? |

I can't remember where I read it but it was here on the 'Tank'.
