  • the latest incarnation of Cobra Commander. A far cry from his previous portrayals. Be it
    - the sniveling "retreater" with the 1001 failed global domination plans from the 80s series
    - the comedic and bumbling oaf in the CGI Spy Troops and Valor Vs Venom
    - the over the top but "all style no substance" generic from Sigma 6
    This guy is everthing his original toy bio says Cobra Commander should be . Hatred and Evil Personified. A Man without Scruples, the most dangerous man alive

    Not only does he prove that he's still a badass, but he proves that he was badass the entire time!
    He purposely played the "idiot" to make his soldiers think, thereby creating a stronger army.
    Genius!

    I gotta say, this version is my fave as, like you said, it fits his original description. "Most dictators and would-be Napoleon types are hampered by the need to pretend that they are pursuing a noble and just cause. Cobra Commander doesn't have that problem. This guy's in it for the money and the power, and if anybody else is interested in these things, they can pick up an assault rifle and get in line behind him"

      Well I think that's because most people believe there was a single Cobra Commander, when in fact there were multiple people who assumed the post and it's obvious that this ain't the original snake 🐍 commander but in fact a psychopath pretending to be him, but he still needs to be recognized as him to have the legitimacy in the command structure, Gi joe probably know this as well, but most average Cobra commando members might be unaware of the original true purpose of the Cobra organization and the original identity of the true Cobra commandor.

      The cartoon slot format really didn't do justice to Cobra Commander. For cartoons of the time, he had to lose, _every time,_ in 18 minutes or less or risk losing the audience.
      I don't really understand why the bad guys could never once score a victory outside of a two- or three-part episode, but that's the way producer thinking was in the 60's-90's - and f***ing hell could Cobra Commander have been _delicious_ as a villain had things been different..

    In a way, the previous CC was less evil because he was actually able to enjoy the good things in life. He was more of a hedonist, which, in a way, made him less dangerous to the world. Give him his good food, good wine, good sex, his fat wallet, and his big house and he was happy.

      @@murderouskitten2577 The 80's, like every decade, had its share of horrible music. Rick Astley, anyone? As for cars, did you ever see what they did to the poor Mustang in the 80's? It went from muscle car to the automotive equivalent of mom jeans. As for beer, they sold the same beer then that they do now. Budwiser then is the same as Bud now. Or Rolling Rock or PBR or whatever you drink. We tend to focus on the bad stuff of today and focus on the things we liked from back in the day while forgetting the bad stuff. We remember GN'R and Metallica and forget Wham! and New Kids on the Block.
      But yes, this Cobra Commander is by far the best we've seen on any screen. The only time they did him better was in the Larry Hamma Marvel comics from the 80's. They did a great job with him in the comics up till about issue 50.

    Destro: What are you speaking of?
    Cobra Commander: It's suited me to appear to the world, to be weak and cowardly. Because it downplays our threat to them, you fool, and it helps me to root out those who would betray me or refuse to show initiative.
    Xamot and Tomax: you mean, all of our defeats were because you were pretending?
    Cobra Commander: Our "Defeats" were mearly decoy operations, once again to downplay our threat to the world. It was I who implanted the idea for Serpentor in Dr. Mindbender, because GI JOE was coming close to learning the truth about me, and my grand plan.

    Cobra Commander: If you are the Emperor, then consider me... your usurper. Allow me to let you in on a secret: COBRA was ALWAYS mine. The fool you refer to was but merely a facade, meant to inspire in our forces what you abhor: Initiative.
    (Cobra Commander rises back up, looking down derisively on Serpentor)
    But in the end, I suppose I was being too subtle, given that 'the progeny of kings' was too engorged by childish fantasies to see it.
    (Serpentor finally bleeds out, falling to the foot of the throne. Cobra Commander walks up to the throne and takes a seat, using Serpentor's corpse as a footstool.)

    (The rest of COBRA stands motionless and silent in shock and horror, having witnessed everything that has just transpired.)
    Cobra Commander: Good. The time for such folly as passed. For now, there is business to attend to, but first, know this: Should any of you decide that you would like my position, remember the example that Serpentor has so graciously set for you. 'This, I command.' (Laughs) Pathetic! Now, for your punishment!

Cutting the idiot Serpentor's head in half right in front of you, RIGHT HERE, in this room, should have gotten the point across. It suited me once to appear WEAK and COWARDLY, because it motivated you PEOPLE to THINK! But today, is a new day! There will be no move to take over MY command! There will be no mistakes!

    This was a natural extension of the storyline - many years later - updated for today... Think of it as an 80s version - with BALLS!

    Yes, Xamtaro, they did kill off the IDW version.
    But then Cobra replaced him with a NEW Commander who makes the deceased Commander look like a pussy cat in comparison. He is a terror!

    2:25 The old Cobra Commander would've yelled and tossed that man around like a rag doll. But at least he would've lived.
    This Cobra Commander has literally no use for excuses.

    2:06 props to Cobra Commander for assuming some of his enemy survived, instead of assuming he killed them all.

    I've got the collected "Cobra Command" storyline and "The Origin of Cobra Commander". And you're right. From what I've read so far and from what I've gleaned in interviews with the writers and artists, this new Commander is a freaking nightmare.
