@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Sorry. Typo. This take will probably be unpopular, but I meant Comic Book SERPENTOR, if he has good quality body armor and very well trained and equipped bodyguard.
Destro is the most respected villain. He was the voice of reason in cartoon))) Also worked on his backstory for my fancomics. His backstory is unique in every adaptation. Destro is that person who “health body=health mind”.
In the 80s, I watched G.I. Joe as a child. This has great nostalgia. I was unfamiliar with almost anybody’s backstory. I’ve never seen a comic book and I get to wonder about the cast another video. I’d like commented and subscribed.
Thank you so much for the like, comment AND sub! Very much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah the comics and cartoons despite being targeted towards a younger audience was pretty well thought out or at the very least entertaining :) great stuff! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
I just had a random thought the other day, that Destro was the coolest looking villain. I had this thought randomly, it was not like I was watching G.I. Joe videos. I don’t collect the toys, but did as a kid. It is kind of creepy this video was suggested. It is like the algorithm is reading my mind.
I never had Destro as a kid and I can't remember any of my friends with one. I loved and still do love his look but his voice never sat right with me. Going to the cartoons I watched Operation Dragonfly because of one of my favorite Joe's from my childhood Scoop it wasn't as bad as people make it out but I didn't say anything because we don't speak of the dark place known as DIC. The different Easter eggs you put in your videos are always fun but this week hit me in a good way. I was so in lust with Fiona Apple and late night parties man I see the 90's. But great video as always brother. I don't know if you guys do thanksgiving or something like that but Happy Holidays to you and your family
Thanks brother! I remember trying years ago to watch sragonfire but tapped out right after the whole Detro Baroness Zarana triangle 😅 but hokeyness aside I think the biggest problem for me is that they used new voice actors from the original series for many established characters and many of them sounded so generic. At least they got Latta to reprise as Cobra Commnader 👍 have you read the IDW Cobra series? Scoop was the central character in one major story arc. But it's a more....serious take. Yup was a fan of Fiona apple too! At least the first few albums were on heavy rotation for me back in the 90s. Thanks again! Always great hearing from you! And same to you and your family!
@retrojoe8290 lol I haven't gone blind yet. I remember watching it back in the 90's but I've slept and drank since then. But I remember the drug PSA episode. Kids today will never know how shocking those episodes were.
I always went by the comic. It focused on the history of many of the characters. The hard master and soft master and ties between Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Zartan. It was bloody, the guns weren't lasers, and in a cool tid bit of info... the real name of the G.I.Js is Special Counter Terrorist Unit Delta. Also Cobra had set up a town called Springfield where members lived with their families...
Yes as far as the mythos goes it will always be the original Marvel comics for me. That's where Larry Hama really did his magic. And despite the mandate by Hasbro to keep introducing new characters almost every other issue, he still managed to create compelling characters and backstories. Great stuff 👍👍👍
@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Well said. I loved Larry Hama. I still have issue #1 framed. At one point I had them all through 1988. My favorites were the Cobra Civil War on Cobra Island. Serpentor was laid low by an arrow from Zartan. The original Cobra Commander had been offed, and Baroness put a different guy in charge in the new metal suit and coached him on how to be like the original Cobra Commander. Their was none of that Cobra-La Golobulus ridiculousness.
@debaser_666 yes I LOVED the comics. Completely invested in that ripcord/zartan switcheroo that eventually led to the civil war. I hated Serpentor so seeing Zartan off him the way that he did was EPIC!. My grandpa ran a printing press to I remember I had him hard bind my gijoe comics 😅 probably not tue wisest thing to do in retrospect but back then as a kid I thought it was awesome 😅
Looking back, I had a lot of fun reading the Marvel Comics when Destro was heavily featured. In fact, I had the most fun when the issues were more focused on the villains instead of the Joes. Where you placed "sigma" was very appropriate, Destro was really showing HIM behavior there hahaha.
Well basically I mostly talk about the versions I had actual direct experience with....with some exceptions. And given how iconic Destro is, there are a whole lot of versions of him out there. But sorry I missed that one! Not really a 12" collector. Removable mask does sound awesome though...what was his face like? I gotta Google that :)
@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Honestly...it was similar to the "unmasked" Commander from the same line, just without the sculpted on red scarf. I remember as a kid seeing the commercial for it and was so in wonder of what he could look like...aaaaand it turned out kinda...eh.. LOL
Sideshow made a 1:6 version, that was not too bad and Threezero has recently also made a 1:6 Destro that is based on the original look, they also made the Gold variant aka "Pimp Destro", that looks really nice, but is limited edition.
Nice! I think I saw those a while back. Great to know that there are other great options for Destro in other scales. He's the type of character with enough presence to pull off a stand alone piece IMHO 👍
I love your content information. I agree with the comment here though, it was distracting having my eyes flashed with non stop images and trying to follow your dialog. I highly recommend using flash images as needed but not non stop. I ended up just closing my player window to not see the flash images and hear the audio only.
@edwardhooper4371 thanks! And yes your feedback is very much appreciated 👍 I so try to find a good balance but at the same time it's sort of my style which many others do enjoy as well. But yesbi always have it in the back of my mind to not go overboard and allow moments of rest. Either way I'm happy you enjoy the content! And like I said its always great hearing from viewers like you who care enough to give constructive criticism 👍👍👍 thanks!
I think my biggest gripe about the DIC series is that in an effort to sell more new toys they pushed a lot of new, unrecognizable characters that I had a hard time caring about. Also the theme song pretty much sucked and was way worse than the original.
Hokiness aside, For me it was all the new voice actors. Many of them sounded very generic. But yeah I get how jarring it can be to have a whole new bunch of characters to get to know. 👍
Operation Dragonfire is probably the best thing to come out of the DIC series. The tying up of some loose ends and some decent characters, here and there. Other than that, it's crap, in my opinion.
The only DIC episode worth watching is Operation Dragonfire five Porter pass that it goes completely off the rails and becomes a Kitty cartoon just like everything else DIC produced
Yeah despitebits extreme camping SS I actually was able to sit through operation dragonfire and get somewhat invested in the story 😂 but after that I think I'm good 👍👍👍
I know what you're talking about. It's partially my speech. But the high register on my mix is too strong which emphasises my S whistle..I've lowered it considerably for my next video, which should be better I hope...thanks for bringing it to my attention! 👍
Who is most capable of leading Cobra to victory over the Joes? Coco? Serpentor? Or Destro? Or any other candidates?
Comic Book Destro. If he has good armor and bodyguard.
@ he really did well for himself building the Iron Grenadiers 👍
@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Sorry. Typo. This take will probably be unpopular, but I meant Comic Book SERPENTOR, if he has good quality body armor and very well trained and equipped bodyguard.
@@dubuyajay9964 oh that’s a major typo 😅 not a huge fan of the Cobra Emperor but I can appreciate his place in the GIJoe universe 👍👍👍
@StoriesFromTheToyshelf It's somewhat early in the morning and I'm still very tired.
Destro is the most respected villain. He was the voice of reason in cartoon)))
Also worked on his backstory for my fancomics. His backstory is unique in every adaptation.
Destro is that person who “health body=health mind”.
Yes he was very much the opposite of Cobra Commander in a good way 👍👍👍
This video style is sick n so entertaining. Layers bruh
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it! I aim to please :)
Right!
My favorite arms dealer and leader next to The Commander
It's a toss up for me too 👍
You spend too much time on editing and animation instead of telling the story right you could monetize the story as well
Your opinion is noted 👍 i genuinely would like to hear more on how you feel I didn't tell the story right?
Ol' boy needs to make videos then 🤔
Easier to critique than to craft
Haha the arrested development reference was funny .
Thanks! I LOVE Arrested Development! Especially the original run!

Too bad they completely butchered the Live Action versions of G.I Joe.
Yeah sad...they could have done SO much better 😬
All Destro's MARS funding goes to Armor-all and Sham-Wows😂.

Gotta keep that chrome dome extra shiny and clean 👍👍👍

Thanks! Glad I got that right I really had to do my research there 🤣
I can't believe you never had a Deathstroke action figure as a boy that was one of my first and few surviving Joe's
Deathstroke? Or was that a type for Destro? I wasn't that big on the bad guys so I didn't have that much. I was all about the Joes 😅
Awesome that you still have your original fig. How's his head? Still chrome-y?
DESTRO AND MAJOR BLOOD WERE MY FAVORITE VILLAINS.
Cool so you should be happy that Bludd is on my short list for upcoming episodes 👍
@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf cool!
I find it incredible/incredulous...that you didn't mention Destro's 12" Hall of Fame figure....which had a literal removable mask.
Well basically I mostly talk about the versions I had actual direct experience with....with some exceptions. And given how iconic Destro is, there are a whole lot of versions of him out there.

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Well...."unmasked"...he still has a scarf covering his lower half of his face.
@paolomongon6616 oh ok. Well it's s start 👍
My ears pricked up with every one of my chosen references! You sir are a creative wonder. You need to write songs 😉
Thanks brother! Writing songs was another lifetime ago 😅
I just found my old pimp Destro figure. And now this vid. 😁
Nice! It's as if it was meant to be :) gotta find me a simple daddy D too!
4:10 Eugene was Baroness’ brother. Not father.
In the Marvel comics?
@ yes
@ScarlettShana I stand corrected then 👍👍👍
Great job sir
Thank you kind sir! Much appreciated! 👍
I had some of those comics as a kid
Fantastic series ;)
I always wondered how his lips would move when he talked while wearing a metal face/helmet! Has that ever been explained???
Your guess is as good as mine 🤣 in some cases it's described as liquid metal or nanomites however that works 🤔

Big doll briefcase? Not familiar with that ...but either way, that's hilarious 😂
@StoriesFromTheToyshelf the 12 in doll came with a brief case
@ oh ok! Thanks for the clarification :) cobra commander is truly the classic 80s villain!

So, the 2000's comics had Destro as an African Scottish Clan leader? 👀
I think he was still Scottish but he had an affair with a black woman...thus resulting in the mixed race son Alexander 👍
Last King Of Scotland.
I made Custom Destro with classfied parts
Oh cool wish I could see it! What was the recipe?
On his other wrist is a communicator and controls he uses for many thingd
Oh OK that makes more sense :) thanks!
