While on the subject, did anyone see GI Joe: Resolute? It was amazing. I loved it Much better than the crapfest that was "Rise Of Cobra" I really can't decide between that & Bayformers as worst film this year |

Well if Serpentor himself is to be believed (from when he was created in the 80s DIC cartoon series), his first self-described act as a sentient being was to render Sergeant Slaughter unconscious.
I mean, that has to count for something in the accomplishment category because Sarge no-sold worse in those cartoons than the Hogan Grilling machines did in real life.

Off topic here but did any 80's villian achive anything? Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed. And back on the GI Joe front, in the 80s series, Tomax and Xamot had their own evil corporation where they could run Cobra schemes and make it totally legal (much like the late-80s Lex Luthor reboot). |

On a related note, the reason they wrote out his death was because of the poor reception to Optimus Prime's death. GI Joe was supposed to premier first, so producers believe that if Duke had died first, Prime could've survived if there was a public outcry to Duke's death. But compared to Optimus Prime, people didn't give a crap about Duke. I mean, they could have shot him, burned him, ran his charred corpse through a wood chipper, ground that into a fine powder, swept the powder into a pile, and put a sign on it that said, "this was Duke...you're welcome." and people would have said, well that sucks, I guess Flint's in charge then? |

In the American version of the GI Joe movie that was broadcast on TV, Duke never died. Lady Jaye claimed he was ".........in a coma!" with a tear in her eye.
In RE: The OP, Serpentor accomplished the sales of many new action figures, so he did just fine.

*sigh*
That movie & the creating of Cobra-La ruined GI Joe for me then.
My folks even bought me Cobra-La for Christmas. I ripped off the snake bottom & gave him legs.

How many lives would have been saved if the paramedics would just stab people in the heart with a snake spear? The critically injured would bypass the stabilization and go straight into a coma! |

Serpentor accomplished one great thing:
He made Cobra Commander seem much, much cooler in comparison.

After all the years prior, how come he never even used those snake spears until just then? |

{Spoiler}Duke gets a Serpentor spear right through where his heart is supposed to be in the G.I. Joe movie. His last line in the movie is "yo joe" and it sounds like he was dying. At the very end, an extremely bad voiceover added in post-production yells out "IT LOOKS LIKE DUKE'S OKAY".
They barely wrote it out, considering it was a mortal heart wound with blood and Duke has no lines after "Yo Joe". I prefer to think he died. Hope that answers your question. Yeah, that's the best it can be put really. It was a MAJOR copout. Yesh, but didn't the last minute rewrite have something to do with the overly negative feedback of Prime dying in the Transformers movie? Something along the lines of "Crap, the kids will flip out because Duke is the leader and a popular character, and the parents will flip cause we made their kids cry" sort of deal? EDIT: Read Disco Stu's earlier post and got confirmation. |
