Do you respect Cobra Commander? It doesn't seem like anyone in Cobra does except for a few people.

I don't really respect terrorists trying to take over the world. That being said, comic CC is way more competent than cartoon CC.

Of course. A keen command of fashion. Neat voice. Breathtakingly scenic hideouts. CC is super cool.

Sunbow CC, on the other hand, had outright wins (Excalibur and Cold Slither, for example) and other situations that would have lasting effect (Crashing the economy in Money to Burn, creating a massive TV news propaganda push in The Wrong Stuff). That stuff doesn't go away overnight. Lastly, even when the Joes defeat him, the sheer audacity and grandiose scale of his plans would leave people living in fear. Even when he loses, he wins on some level. Sunbow CC is way better than comics CC. |

Comics CC has never really succeeded at anything. Originally he seemed smart but by the end of the original run he was a goofy dumbass trying to fight Snake-Eyes one on one for zero reason. He literally ended the original run with only one operative - Mindbender. Everyone else abandoned him, or he betrayed them (Zarana). Dude was so stupid he bought Scarlett defecting.
Even in the other stuff it feels like over the years the actual brains was Destro, and CC routinely failed to do anything lasting (except that badass take down of Serpentor). Cartoon CC has routinely been shown as way more competent, whether it's his numerous wins or almost wins in the original stuff to his rolling Serpentor in the DiC stuff to things like Renegades where he's flat out a real threat. Then factor in his "I was always faking the cowardice to see who was loyal" stint and cartoon CC was usually always a smart threat. |

For all the moments he had, Cartoon CC was never more incompetent than he was in The Movie. It was like different character after a spending a season watching him sneak around Serpentor with assasination attempts and splinter factions. The only thing he managed to accomplish in the movie was forging a lifelong bond with Roadblock.

His incompetence paled in comparison to all of the mis-characterization and unexplained buffonery going on around him. As I've said in the past, The Movie dialed the stupid up to 11, and Dragonfire turned it back down to maybe an 8. What it gained in sense-making it lost in animation quality, though.

But even that showed CC's resourcefulness and ingenuity. He got Roadblock to help him when he saw a mutually beneficial way to get out of their situation. I also have started to subscribe to the notion that Cobra Commander repeatedly failed on purpose so that Cobra La couldn't take over the world and mutate everyone. Dude got exiled from them - why would he be their loyal servant helping them take over the world? |

Say what you will about CC's failed plans, he had a winning exit strategy for every situation.
