COOOBRRAAAA!!!!

Ok, so I was checking the Internets yesterday, and I came across a link that said “COBRA COMMANDER REVEALED!”. This was in relation to the new movie coming out, “G.I. JOE – The Rise of Cobra”. Needless to say, I’ve always been a fan of G.I. Joe; when I was like 12, I had a big brown box full of the little action figures.
So, back to the story. I clicked on the link and I was taken to the awesome Ain’t It Cool News site, that apparently revealed a stylized version of what Cobra Commander is going to look like in the new Joe movie. Take a look:


….Wow. Am I the only person who seems a little appalled by the design choice for Cobra Commander?! They have such a rich history of design work to use, and they go for a totally different, and uncharacteristic design!! He looks more like a henchman, than the COBRA COMMANDER! I personally would’ve preferred the glass-plate look, since the cloaked look would’ve appeared a little silly on film.
Anyways, I’m going to wait a little longer for the “official” pics of the character before losing all hope for this movie…
Any thoughts?
