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!
Yeah, also the Resolute movie is a way better movie than the 1987 animated film. Also, I read the 1987 animated movie was non canon due to being bad reviews and a terrible story.
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"
He references his past as a weak coward towards the end, listen. "It suited me once to appear weak and cowardly, because it motivated you people to THINK!"
***** More like he used to hide his balls in the past to make his underlings take more initiative, but after seeing how poorly that went decided to reveal that he did indeed possess a pair. Betting though that his underlings probably missed the old Commander.
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..

The COBRA Commander in the cartoons of the 80's a bad yosimite sam-style joke The COBRA Commander of the Marvel comics run.....one damn terrifying scary world conquering super-villian.....Bout' time they made a cartoon depicting his true self. :)
I relish the thought of this Cobra Commander blaming Serpentor for the failures of Cobra and remains silent when Serpentor begins his rant on what a grave mistake the Commander has made, but half way through Serpentor's rant on how he will be punished Cobra Commander slits Serpentor's throat with a dagger hidden under his tunic in front of the other members of Cobra watching Serpentor's lifeless body fall from throne, while he murmurs "You have served your purpose long enough," and then he turn to the other members of Cobra with their faces reflect off his mask and cover with blood asking if anyone will take over his command.

@@snakes3425 That would have been much better plot in the movie instead of an alien society and there ruler getting pissed off at CC and implanting the idea to create Serpentor. A plot twist where CC was just pretending to be a dumbass so he could fool everyone and uses the B.E.T to destroy nations to achieve world domination would've been MUCH BETTER!!!!
Nice! Here's how I would have put it: 80's CC: Who are you? Resolute CC: What you were to the hearts of many at that era. I am in the hearts of this current one.
the 2000-2010 revivals of old shows, turning questionable almost comical villains into credible threats. Cobra Commander, Shredder, Mumm Ra, Skeletor. in this era, you knew not to fuck with them.
I am seriously liking this new cobra commander, the design is very sleek and threatening, yet keeps to the original design, the voice work fits with the motions of the character and I like this voice here better then on bay's starscream
I like to imagine this is how this Cobra Commander dealt with the Cobra High Command and Serpentor Cobra Commander: You all said that this garbage (points to Serpentor's decapitated body) was the miracle that will save COBRA, the miracle that will turn the tide in our favor. A miracle you call this boy who pretended to be a man. Well it will indeed be a miracle IF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU SURVIVES WHAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR YOU!!!!!! But don't think of this as punishment for creating Serpentor. No you see I actually admire your initiative. No you see I'm not punishing you because I have to...but because I WANT TO
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. The new CC doesn't give a flying fuck about any of those things, he's a man on a mission and his mission is to be the most powerful and most feared man in the universe and that's all he cares about. He's a mad dog.
This was an awesome mini-movie. I just wish they had made an entire series like this. This was the single best version of G.I. Joe that we've ever seen.
Serpentor: You DARE to usurp ME?!?! The BLOOD of TYRANTS and CONQUERORS FLOWS through my VEINS! What sort of GAME is this? Cobra Commander: Don't flatter yourself- you were never even a player. (Executes Serpentor)
Cobra Commander: You said the blood of tyrants, conquerors and kings flowed through your veins. That was bad comedy Serpentor. You were nothing more then a spoiled little boy pretending to be a man. There is only one true Emperor of COBRA, me.
Cobra Commander: And to think, I had such high hopes for you. Dr. Mindbender seems to have gotten sloppy ever since I began my charade. I suppose now that that this... annoyance, is out of the way, I will have to show the good doctor the price of failure. But enough of such musings; I will deal with him later. For now, there is business to attend to, a world to conquer, and a thorn in my side to finally remove.

@@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.

Zeroranger: I was browsing about the original voice. I did not know that Chris Latta passed on in 1994. He was the very voice of Cobra Commander and Starscream. May god rest his soul.
@@happyjohn354 you didn't even understand the point. The point is ....he's bitching about a TOYLINES story direction etc. Obviously story development wasn't the priority. geeeee...duuuuuuuh...i wun da Y....duuuuuuh.....lol
0:41 This is from a fanfic I hope to do soon titled “Transformers: Edge” Megatron: Humans of Earth, I am Megatron. I am the leader of a race of mechanical beings known as . . . Decepticons. In the past we have sought your energy resources to power our home world of Cybertron, but you have opposed us at every turn. You have even gone so far as to ally yourselves with our enemies, the Autobots. As of now, that alliance will not save you.
Why couldn't the live-action movie be as well written as this? "Cartoons are for children" my ass, I could take this more seriously than anything in the live action film.
"for children" is simply a crutch for cheap animation and sub par writing. its all an excuse. you can turn any cartoon idea into the most interesting piece of media with a budget, creativity and love for the source material.
@@Shiirow that whole “for children” mindset needs to die. Just because something is “for children” does not mean you have to settle for the bare minimum!
Okay, this CC is cool and Charlie Adler does a great job here, but I still really like the previous versions of him. Chris Latta and Michael Dobson's performances always bring a smile to my face because they're just so fun to listen to. Besides 80's Cobra Commander gave us "Cold Slither". You can't beat that.
Savage Jesus The original G.I. Joe had an “Action Pack” and “Kung Fu Grip”, 😏 But I don’t see any problem with beefing up their chief villain who had become something of a joke at this time.
@@skullton3292 yeah, in the 80s tmnt show the whole reason shredder used robots is because they couldnt get away with leo and raph using their weapons on people
I'll bet Serpentor from the 80's show wouldn't fuck with this version of Cobra Commander. He'd be like, "I am the great Serpentor. Kneel before me, and do my bidding! THIS I CO...." Cobra Commander would stop him halfway through saying the last part, as he shoots him in the throat. Then he'd say, "I'm sorry, but I don't have time for this crap."
Steven Escareno And then he notices that Serpentor is agonizingly bleeding from his neck and chocking on his own blood. "Oh, you are still alive." And he then takes his time to shoot Serpentor in the forehead a few times before cutting his head off to make sure. "Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership?"
The writers of the Sunbow GI Joe said Cobra Commander didn't come into his own until they stopped trying to make him Hitler and wrote him like Yosemite Sam. This CC works too.
amsablan Well the original GI Joe storyline was a Nick Fury Jr vs HYDRA story that later got adapted for the GI Joe toyline. Nick Fury Jr and his group became GI Joe and HYDRA turned into Cobra.
2:45 “Transformers: Edge” : Megatron: And this is how I win the Universe. It is usually at this stage that the cogs fall off, but not this time. Disposing of the traitor Shockwave here in this chamber in front of all of you should have gotten the point across. Even Starscream realizes now what would happen if he ever went out of line. It suited me once to appear deranged, unhinged and unstable, because it motivated you lot to think! But now is a new age. There will be no moves to take over my leadership. There will be no errors. There will be none of your scrap. NONE OF IT! Work with me and you shall have enough energon to last for eons. Work against me and I will tear out your Spark and reduce you to scrap metal from where you stand.* *Thanks to Kaleb King.
I like it. In my opinion, I would change the last sentence to “Work against me, and I will tear out your Spark and reduce you to scrap metal from where you stand!”
Well, think of the audience. We are dealing with a more mature and dark version of Cobra Commander targeted towards mostly the original GI Joe vs Cobra fans. Original Cobra commander was more geared towards kids hence he had to be more cartoonish. That would be cool if Christ Latta was still alive to do this version of Cobra commander. That would be epic.
this was the comics Cobra Commander: ruthless, bad to the bone, not afraid of murder. the comics held nothing back, times changed to meet the persona he created there
3:06 "It was once suited me to appear weak and cowardly.....because it motivated you people to THINK!" So is it possible that this was Sunbow Cobra Commander after he took a level in badass?
@videogamester07 IMO, not kiling him off was a good move. 1) it doesn't upset the fans 2) it means that Cobra Commander is now the sole active Cobra leader (since destro, baroness etc are captured and the rest dead) - It would have been great if there was a post-credits scene where CC is shown alive and well and its revealed that he planned this all along. 3) It just goes to show how badass he really is if he can survive such an explosion at ground zero!
Listen, this commander is great. He's actually threatening, if a bit overkill. That being said, the 80's one was really hilarious, for better or worse. I say for better.
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.
The real Cobra Commander & not the faulty 80's cartoon version. The comics were around before the animated series. The tone was altered for the animated series. The comics were more darker than its animated counterpart. Oh! Yes,Cobra Commander did kill Serpentor in the comics. He also murdered his own son.
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!
People, this is a darker version of GI Joe. Serpentor of this timeline would be a complete nightmare, he already had above human strength in the cartoon and he feared nothing. If written correctly he would kill the Joe's by himself and Cobra Commander would just stay in his place. If written correctly.
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!
Plus he acknowledged that it was a double edged sword and got serious once someone finally decided to challenge his command.
Yeah, also the Resolute movie is a way better movie than the 1987 animated film. Also, I read the 1987 animated movie was non canon due to being bad reviews and a terrible story.
Still it wasted plenty of time, effort, money and resources too@@dakotatichelio273
Finally, this Cobra Commander not only ruthless, he's the guy you do NOT want to fuck with.

Destro: We had won but you countermanded my order
Baroness: your medaling brought us defeat again and again and again
Dr. Mindbender: You're not just a fool you're Cobra's curse
Xamot and Tomax: Inept insuficent in excusable.
Cobra Commander (laughing): It seems as though my act has served it's purpose, and each of you shall be well rewarded for your courage to speak up as you have.
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. I needed a decoy to draw their attention away from me and to preserve my cowardly appearance. But it seems my act has gone on long enough, and the time has come for me to resume my command. It was nice of you to keep my seat warm Serpentor.
Serpentor: You'd do well to curve that insolent tongue of yours Commander, if you know what's good for you.
Cobra Commander: Don't make me laugh. You who poses the knowledge of Kings and Generals yet refuse to learn from their defeats. You, a mere child pretending to be a man. You are of no further use to me.
Serpentor: You dare speak to your Emperor li...(Cobra Commander reveals that his staff had concealed his long sword, and cuts Serpentor's throat, much to the shock of the Cobra High Command)
Cobra Commander: Get this garbage out of my sight (as he resumes his seat on Cobra's throne) Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership (stunned silence) Good now we have work to do.
That' fucking awesome 😍!!!
I am imagining this with Chris Latta's voice...
using Sepentor's stupid catch phrase after murdering him. perfict
@@snakes3425 That would have been much better plot in the movie instead of an alien society and there ruler getting pissed off at CC and implanting the idea to create Serpentor.
A plot twist where CC was just pretending to be a dumbass so he could fool everyone and uses the B.E.T to destroy nations to achieve world domination would've been MUCH BETTER!!!!
80's Toon CC:Who are you?
Resolute CC:I'm you but stronger.
Nice! Here's how I would have put it:
80's CC: Who are you?
Resolute CC: What you were to the hearts of many at that era. I am in the hearts of this current one.
Resolute CC: I'm you, but scarier.
We really need a G.I.Joe t.v.series that is closer to the Marvel comic book series
the 2000-2010 revivals of old shows, turning questionable almost comical villains into credible threats. Cobra Commander, Shredder, Mumm Ra, Skeletor. in this era, you knew not to fuck with them.
The 2003 series was made sure it was done right because co creator of the comic Peter Laird step on as the story consultant
I really like the design for this Cobra Commander. It takes elements of all of the previous designs & manages to create a menacing look.
Am I the only one who was rooting for Cobra the entire time?
I was chanting "Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!" in my head every time Cobra Commander appeared on screen.
You sure it wasn't "Cobra-la-la-la-la-la-la"
Nah, cobra commander is cool
I was always rooting for Cobra. They seemed like "cool people" in the 80's compared to the Jo'es who seemed like the jocks and the beautiful people.
Lord-of-Change whats the movie name?
I am seriously liking this new cobra commander, the design is very sleek and threatening, yet keeps to the original design, the voice work fits with the motions of the character and I like this voice here better then on bay's starscream
Looks like Cobra Commander found his balls.
He always had based on comic book run.
I like to imagine this is how this Cobra Commander dealt with the Cobra High Command and Serpentor
Cobra Commander: You all said that this garbage (points to Serpentor's decapitated body) was the miracle that will save COBRA, the miracle that will turn the tide in our favor. A miracle you call this boy who pretended to be a man. Well it will indeed be a miracle IF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU SURVIVES WHAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR YOU!!!!!! But don't think of this as punishment for creating Serpentor. No you see I actually admire your initiative. No you see I'm not punishing you because I have to...but because I WANT TO
If that monologue makes it into a new G.I. Joe cartoon, I'm giving you all the credit.
You realise Serpentor was also in Renegades?
@@adamwalker9796 As a giant snake.
Commander must be holding Serpentor's head, which froze with fury because the last thing he said was "THIS I COMMAN--"
Is it wrong that I only hear Star Scream when I read this
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.
The new CC doesn't give a flying fuck about any of those things, he's a man on a mission and his mission is to be the most powerful and most feared man in the universe and that's all he cares about. He's a mad dog.
thing is....this IS that one.
This was an awesome mini-movie. I just wish they had made an entire series like this. This was the single best version of G.I. Joe that we've ever seen.
This series feel more close to the Larry Hama's comic book series
Let's see Serpentor try to get the upper hand on THIS Cobra Commander.
Serpentor: You DARE to usurp ME?!?! The BLOOD of TYRANTS and CONQUERORS FLOWS through my VEINS! What sort of GAME is this?
Cobra Commander: Don't flatter yourself- you were never even a player. (Executes Serpentor)
Cobra Commander: You said the blood of tyrants, conquerors and kings flowed through your veins. That was bad comedy Serpentor. You were nothing more then a spoiled little boy pretending to be a man. There is only one true Emperor of COBRA, me.
Cobra Commander: And to think, I had such high hopes for you. Dr. Mindbender seems to have gotten sloppy ever since I began my charade. I suppose now that that this... annoyance, is out of the way, I will have to show the good doctor the price of failure. But enough of such musings; I will deal with him later. For now, there is business to attend to, a world to conquer, and a thorn in my side to finally remove.
"Bad Comedy" Oh that brings back memories. It would be funny to here Starscream use that line on Galvatron.
"And now, that same blood flows across the floor ..."
When he said" There will be none of your Crap! None of it!"... he sounded like G1 Cobra Commander...Call me... "Commander"
No offense to the 80's, but THIS is how you do Cobra Commander
Ben Wasserman no taken bro this was a bad ass cobra commander
Ben Wasserman this is how you do my villain honestly
well atleast 80ties had good cars , music , beer and good looking girls , not that plastic crap on wheels , shity justin beaber , cold piss in boatles and land whales :D :D :D
every times has it + and - :D
but i agree , C C is made in real character in modern version :)
@@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.
@@RansomeStoddard well . to be honest , i kind of like Rick Astley , i would not listen it every day god forbide , but i would his music very... how to say ,,, 80ties Cheese in a good way ? :)

Dr. Mindbender: You're not just a fool you're Cobra's curse!

Serpentor: Insolent Worm!!! You'll pay dearly for insulting your emperor! This i command!
Cobra Commander: Command?! (laughs) I'd hardly call your impotent screams 'commanding'. Despite your braggadocious claims of having the minds of history's great conquerors, not ONCE have you displayed even the slightest ability to use such intellect. All I, the GI Joes, and anyone else has seen is your utter incompetence, your complete lack of foresight, and your incessant yammering!
Serpentor: How DARE you speak to me, your lord and master, in such a flippant manner! (Rises from throne, fists in the air) You, who have let so many of my great triumphs slip through your fingers through sheer cowardice! I am Serpentor, the Emperor of COBRA, scourge of all humanity, the progeny of kings, the-
(Serpentor suddenly begins choking on his own blood and grasping at his throat. Cobra Commander reveals that his staff had concealed his long sword, and cuts Serpentor's throat, much to the shock of the Cobra High Command. As Serpentor falls to his knees, Cobra Commander walks up and crouches down to look him in the eye.)
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.)
Cobra Commander: Get this garbage out of my sight (as he resumes his seat on Cobra's throne) Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership? (stunned silence) Good, now we have work to do. Now, assuming that there are no other challengers...
(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!
(Entered Cobra troopers, who siezed the rest of Cobra Command).
Cobra Commander: You all said that this garbage (points to Serpentor's decapitated body) was the miracle that will save COBRA, the miracle that will turn the tide in our favor. A miracle you call this boy who pretended to be a man. Well it will indeed be a miracle IF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU SURVIVES WHAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR YOU!!!

(Several minutes later)
Cobra Commander: And this, is how I win the world... this juncture of course, is usually where the wheels come off... but not this time! 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! There will be NONE of your CRAP!! NONE OF IT!!! Work with me, and I'll give you the world in less than 24 hours. Work against me, and I will GUT you like a fish! RIGHT HERE!
*Slow Clap*
This, right here.
[slow nod]
This is a foe worthy of _respect._
HAIL COBRA!!!
Is this an excerpt from a comic? If so what comic is it? This is so good
I imagine when Cobra Commander started laughing, his voice shifts from the familiar whiny shrill to his Resolute voice.
Zeroranger: I was browsing about the original voice. I did not know that Chris Latta passed on in 1994. He was the very voice of Cobra Commander and Starscream. May god rest his soul.
Its amazing how much better 80s cartoon villains got after the 80s. Skeketor, Shredder, Megatron and Cobra Commander.
this is what happens when GI Joe is about telling a good story, and not about selling toys or Channing Tatum in tight t shirts.
Heretic In all fairness, Tatum recognized this and told the writers to drop a car on him in the sequel
You mean a TOY line acting as such? LoL.
Same goes to Gundam franchises
@@grios5530 Ya? how about Transformers or Gundam or any dozen other franchises that do it?
@@happyjohn354 you didn't even understand the point. The point is ....he's bitching about a TOYLINES story direction etc. Obviously story development wasn't the priority. geeeee...duuuuuuuh...i wun da Y....duuuuuuh.....lol
Cobra Commander is having non of your crap!
WADE WILSON NONE OF IT!!!!
THATS EXACTLY HOW COBRA COMANDER should be portrayed ! EXCELLENT
0:41 This is from a fanfic I hope to do soon titled “Transformers: Edge”
Megatron: Humans of Earth, I am Megatron.
I am the leader of a race of mechanical beings known
as . . . Decepticons.
In the past we have sought your energy resources to power our home world of Cybertron, but you have opposed us at every turn. You have even gone so far as to ally yourselves with our enemies, the Autobots.
As of now, that alliance will not save you.
I read that this in frank welker’s voice
Have you posted it
Why couldn't the live-action movie be as well written as this?
"Cartoons are for children" my ass, I could take this more seriously than anything in the live action film.
"for children" is simply a crutch for cheap animation and sub par writing. its all an excuse. you can turn any cartoon idea into the most interesting piece of media with a budget, creativity and love for the source material.
@@Shiirow that whole “for children” mindset needs to die. Just because something is “for children” does not mean you have to settle for the bare minimum!
Okay, this CC is cool and Charlie Adler does a great job here, but I still really like the previous versions of him. Chris Latta and Michael Dobson's performances always bring a smile to my face because they're just so fun to listen to. Besides 80's Cobra Commander gave us "Cold Slither". You can't beat that.
This is HOW Cobra Commander should have been from the start.
Savage Jesus The original G.I. Joe had an “Action Pack” and “Kung Fu Grip”, 😏
But I don’t see any problem with beefing up their chief villain who had become something of a joke at this time.
I don't think they could have gotten away with this back then.
@@skullton3292 yeah, in the 80s tmnt show the whole reason shredder used robots is because they couldnt get away with leo and raph using their weapons on people
Cobra Commander has always been my favorite GI Joe character.
I'll bet Serpentor from the 80's show wouldn't fuck with this version of Cobra Commander. He'd be like, "I am the great Serpentor. Kneel before me, and do my bidding! THIS I CO...." Cobra Commander would stop him halfway through saying the last part, as he shoots him in the throat. Then he'd say, "I'm sorry, but I don't have time for this crap."
Steven Escareno And then he notices that Serpentor is agonizingly bleeding from his neck and chocking on his own blood. "Oh, you are still alive." And he then takes his time to shoot Serpentor in the forehead a few times before cutting his head off to make sure. "Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership?"
Cobra Commander (to the stunned silence): Get this garbage out of my sight.
When Charlie Adler takes over, the shit goes down
I hated how this movie ended, but I guess after killing all the major charters nothing was left...
The writers of the Sunbow GI Joe said Cobra Commander didn't come into his own until they stopped trying to make him Hitler and wrote him like Yosemite Sam. This CC works too.
Whoever wrote Resolute must have figured out how to write a Hitler-esque Cobra Commander.
@SamaritanPrime Warren Ellis wrote Resolute.
Wow. That was better than the old show.
Unsurprisingly.
And fucking how!
COBRA! = HAIL HYDRA! ; S.H.I.E.L.D = G.I. JOE
Man! The Geek Outs there would be if such a crossover is made!
amsablan Well the original GI Joe storyline was a Nick Fury Jr vs HYDRA story that later got adapted for the GI Joe toyline. Nick Fury Jr and his group became GI Joe and HYDRA turned into Cobra.
2:26 Cobra Commander: Did I ASK for A whiny excuse?(SLASH!) ...I didn't think so!
Why is it that every Starscream VA voices a great Cobra Commander as well.
It's nice to see the Commander be a total bad ass for once, although I remember him being pretty epic in some of the old comics I've read
2:45 “Transformers: Edge” :
Megatron: And this is how I win the Universe. It is usually at this stage that the cogs fall off, but not this time. Disposing of the traitor Shockwave here in this chamber in front of all of you should have gotten the point across. Even Starscream realizes now what would happen if he ever went out of line. It suited me once to appear deranged, unhinged and unstable, because it motivated you lot to think! But now is a new age. There will be no moves to take over my leadership. There will be no errors. There will be none of your scrap. NONE OF IT!
Work with me and you shall have enough energon to last for eons.
Work against me and I will tear out your Spark and reduce you to scrap metal from where you stand.*
*Thanks to Kaleb King.
I like it. In my opinion, I would change the last sentence to “Work against me, and I will tear out your Spark and reduce you to scrap metal from where you stand!”
Kaleb King Consider your addition included.
This has got to be the scariest version of Cobra Commander. This is definitely someone I would be afraid of. Not like the one from the 80s.
The new cobra commander is a beast.
*When a strongly worded email isnt enough.*
Lord Zedd meets Frieza meets Slade meets the Commander. VERY well done.
Best Cobra Commander Ever and Very Threatening and RUTHLESS!!!
Well, think of the audience. We are dealing with a more mature and dark version of Cobra Commander targeted towards mostly the original GI Joe vs Cobra fans. Original Cobra commander was more geared towards kids hence he had to be more cartoonish. That would be cool if Christ Latta was still alive to do this version of Cobra commander. That would be epic.
I Always Have Preferred The Comic.
Charlie Adler did a better job of it. His voice was more menacing.
@@GanjaStarburst74 G.I.JOE -Special Missions was awesome.
this was the comics Cobra Commander: ruthless, bad to the bone, not afraid of murder. the comics held nothing back, times changed to meet the persona he created there
Cobra Commander: Actually that was a film clip from "Independence Day", but the real attack'll probably look a lot like that, yeah.
I LOVE the dialogue they wrote for this version of Cobra Commander. That speech at the end was AMAZING
I think its great that this is the voice actor of Starscream in the Transformer movies, nice little homage to Latta
3:06 "It was once suited me to appear weak and cowardly.....because it motivated you people to THINK!"
So is it possible that this was Sunbow Cobra Commander after he took a level in badass?
Yeah. And I guess his little act worked, given that Major Bludd is dead and Mindbender and Serpentor are nowhere to be seen.
@videogamester07 IMO, not kiling him off was a good move.
1) it doesn't upset the fans
2) it means that Cobra Commander is now the sole active Cobra leader (since destro, baroness etc are captured and the rest dead) - It would have been great if there was a post-credits scene where CC is shown alive and well and its revealed that he planned this all along.
3) It just goes to show how badass he really is if he can survive such an explosion at ground zero!
2) sounds similar to how he betrayed his previous organization Red Shadow, in one version of G.I. Joe.
who were you talking to?
Charlie Adler is the perfect voice for Cobra Commander!
I Guess He's Having NONE of Their Crap;NONE of It!
Man, best version of him yet. So badass.
"It suited me once to appear weak and cowardly."
I wonder if that's a meta-reference to his version from the '80s.
Now this is a brilliant cobra commander!!!! Whoever wrote him to be like this is a GENIUS!!!!!!
Listen, this commander is great. He's actually threatening, if a bit overkill. That being said, the 80's one was really hilarious, for better or worse. I say for better.
"There will be none . . . of your CRAP!!! None of it!"
GI Joe: Resolute should b made into a Netflix series ASAP!
Netflix will just feminize him and ruin his character and the franchise. Just like they did with He-Man.
@@keithsantana145 Yeah, that would suck!
I like THIS COBRA COMMANDER!!
That's my cobra commanderkins
He sounds like a younger version of Lord Zedd from Power Rangers.
This and the IDW Cobra Commander are truly threatening.
Ian Greene Do you mean Krake?
I hate to say this , but this version of cobra commander is way better than the 1980s version, he ain't playing around!
That voice...just...DANG...
Cobra Commander: I shall demonstrate.
Russia: *boom*
USA: You also get a holiday in your name, Commander.
3:26 There will be none of your crap!
NONE OF IT!
This movie is waaaaaaaay better than the live action ones
I think this is the best Cobra Commander even tho he use people around him. Sigma 6 CC got it own strength but dont we love the cowardly better? :p
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.
Cobra Commander from Resolute and Renegade, is possible the two most darkest versions of him!
Hans Ruhlmann reneagade is trash
Renegade CC becomes more like Resolute CC after the Joes exposed him.
Charlie Adler does one Hell of a Cobra Commander!
Probably the best version of Cobra Commander
The real Cobra Commander & not the faulty 80's cartoon version. The comics were around before the animated series. The tone was altered for the animated series. The comics were more darker than its animated counterpart. Oh! Yes,Cobra Commander did kill Serpentor in the comics. He also murdered his own son.
Zartan killed Serpentor in the Marvel comics.
Damn! Cobra Commander is NOT fucking around!
Now,this is a enemy you fear. Not that sniveling little worm that was only brave when his people were winning.
80's Cobra Commander: Kylo Ren
This Cobra Commander: Darth Vader
Older version = new character
New version = old character
Paradoxical
It's almost tradition that if you voice Starscream, you voice Cobra Commander.
Chris Latta, Michael Dobson, Charlie Adler, Frank Todaro
G.I Joe Resolute - 10/10 bring this back please
it’s coming back!!
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!
"None of your CRAP!" frickin sweet!
Such a shame we didn't get more of this version of gi joe I loved this show.
Love this version of cobra commander
2:24 This guy was clearly was not concerned enough about the union between his head and his shoulders
Whoa. (0_0) Ok, *that* Cobra Commander is really intimidating.
This was a natural extension of the storyline - many years later - updated for today... Think of it as an 80s version - with BALLS!
People, this is a darker version of GI Joe. Serpentor of this timeline would be a complete nightmare, he already had above human strength in the cartoon and he feared nothing. If written correctly he would kill the Joe's by himself and Cobra Commander would just stay in his place. If written correctly.
Can we have these guys reboot Pokemon next? I want a scary version of Team Rocket.
