  • G.I Joe Explored - Did you know that COBRA was temporarily commanded by an entity whose genetic material was derived from some of history's most legendary leaders? Dr. Mindbender developed Serpentor as the leader of the terrorist group COBRA. In order to build this being, COBRA combed the world for traces of Vlad Tepes, Rasputin, Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, and Alexander the Great. He was never meant to be Cobra Commander's replacement. He was supposed to be a more iconic figure to motivate the troops. The intention was for Cobra Commander to retain his power.

    In the 1986 version of G.I. Joe, the Marvel comic original edition, he wasn't cruel to his fellow Cobra soldiers. He was more of a visionary and dedicated leader to them. That's what pissed Cobra Commander off. The first 2 or 3rd issue, he battled against the Joes in Springfield. One of Cobra soldiers went down in front of him. He picked him up and said "we don't leave our brothers to die nor leave them like animals on the field" Something to that extent. He was for the welfare of the soldiers. Down the line that led to the 1st Cobra Civil War. The cartoon put him in a very opposite light. I usually go with the character personalization based on original gospel canon, which is Marvels.

    The Marvel Comics version of Serpentor was way better than the cartoon. In the Marvel version, he cared about his soldiers & he had a sense of humor. Case in point on both the former & latter, when he found out the soldiers weren't getting fed, he told them in one of his past lifetimes, he took the crackers, potted meat, ketchup & cheese from an MRE & made pizza. In the Cobra Civil War issues the Joes sided with Serpentor. The cartoon version was a douchebag

      It was the pro-wrestling being popular among those who purchased GI Joe toys, said pro-wrestler toys, and the fact that they watched both, with most who watched both favoring Sgt. Slaughter. Cartoons at the time were mostly really long toy commercials based upon existing potential markets, not the other way around. Adults of the 80s were uber-capitalist soulless scum who were beloved for their masks. Deadpool would be a villain back then because he's a perfect 80s character... but honest about it, no matter how often he played the hero.

    • @AustynSN

      @@That80sGuy1972 The executives weren't completely successful, though. A year after Sgt Slaughter, they tried to do an action figure of William "Refrigerator" Perry. It didn't work so well.
      Sgt Slaughter was gold, but The Fridge went cold.
      (Though to be honest, it was probably because Slaughter was featured in the GI Joe cartoon and I don't think Perry ever made an appearance. Though a character called "Sgt Slaughter" does lend himself better to a military toyline than a football player called "Refrigerator".)

      @That80sGuy1972 Před rokem +1

      @@AustynSN I wasn't aware that they tried that with Fridge. I agree about Slaughter, he's a better fit. Fridge was just a huge, strong, obese football player who was excellent at "plowing" (resisting being tackled). My dad watched a lot of football. When I heard him laughing like a kid, I ran into the living room to see what he saw on TV. It was usually Fridge just waddling the final steps to the 1st down with a cluster of players from the other team clinging to him, trying to pull him down. I can also see why Fridge didn't work out. The Joe's already had a very strong black guy who could do something like that... and he wasn't super-husky, he was more hulking. The Joe's don't like having similar people on the same side.
      If memory serves, wasn't he "Refrigerator Perry" aka "The Fridge"? My dad hogged our main TV whenever that team played... fortunately, we had a B&W TV in our room with an Atari set, and we played outside during the daylight.

    Serpentor was supposed to be Cobra's elite general. What Dr Mindbender didn't consider was the traits that made all of those men in history great warriors, also made them outstanding leaders. Serpentor's ambition was his downfall. Serpentor led from the front, unlike CC. Zartan sent an arrow (using the same bow with which he killed The Hard Master), just like William the Conqueror did before him (one of Serpentor's DNA donors) to kill the King of Hastings, which landed right in Serpentor's eye.

      *That's because you didn't understand it, and as result you missed the bigger picture as well my friend. See the introduction of Cobra-La brought a Sci-fi edge to the show, not to mention a much needed boost to the franchise. That's why the 80's GIJOE that we know and love is far better than its predecessors.*
      *See when Cobra-La shows up we not only find out where Cobra Commander comes from, we also discover in-that revelation that Cobra is much more than a mere organization of fanatical terrorist, but instead its actually an ancient civilization/race of serpent people lurking in the shadows of our present day world. One that dominated the planet long before the dawn of man....which is deep.*
      *See its that sort of "wacky" stuff as you put it that make for good story telling. I find it quite interest.....chilling too if you really think about it. For instance just imagine or rather think for a minute about what's really out there beyond the veil of what we think we know and see? You see what I'm saying??*
