Given his track record:
1. Rise of Cobra; Producer; Cobra Appeared 2. Retaliation; Producer; Cobra Appeared 3. Snake Eyes; Producer; Cobra Appeared The track record states that Lorenzo has no issue with Cobra being in films he produces. Cobra is one of the most marketable aspects of the Joe brand (and arguably more marketable than the Joes themselves). They're most likely going to appear in the film in some way.

I want to believe they'll pull a Dune and finally have a successful joe/transformers movie.

Because the question was:
"Is Lorenzo actually going to allow the Cobra organization to be depicted on screen or is he still ashamed at the sight of them?" The premise of the question is based around Lorenzo's supposed role in the other banned topic of discussion here (please guys don't turn this thread into that discussion, I'm only alluding it to it explain how I read the question) so when reading the question with that context it seems like the user is asking if Lorenzo will let cobra appear at all.

THe second film featured Cobra unfurling cobra banners on the white house and replacing the american flag with the Cobra logo and very recognizable version of Cobra COmmander and Storm Shadow. Snake Eyes had cobra as very important to the plot and featured their logo several times. If there was ever a Joe movie where you could have gotten away with not featuring Cobra, it was a Snake Eye's origin movie but they were still included. I don't think the Cobra logo was featured any less in the Joe movies than the decepticon logo was in the Transformers and the Cobra's featured weren't any less recognizable than how the villains were designed in the Transformers movies.

The first film was called "Rise of Cobra."

Don?t give me that “it hasn?t released bullcrap” you speak in assumption tongue daily. Plenty of examples where movie , direct and production have gotten things right. GI Joe and Transformers are two they haven’t.

And the main villain was Destro and MARS. It wasn't until the last few seconds that we saw an off-brand version of CC, as well as the Cobra Logo.

SS looked good and was featured prominently, though I could care less for the ninja crap. And yes, the Cobra banners looked cool, but again, we barely saw the logo outside of that scene. Quote:
And that speaks volumes about the lack of respect for both properties in these movies. |
