Cobra doesn't release him, simply stating, "You're out of the band. No, because the self-destruct mechanisms don't actually create a nuclear explosion, they destroy the warhead without triggering the fissile material so the fallout would be minimal.
For instance in the comics, Duke is a First Sergeant whilst in the film he is a Captain. Cobra Commander himself never knew Duke, was never a maimed soldier but a car salesman who turned against America after the failure of his business and death of his brother in the Vietnam War.
In the British Action Force backstory, he was Marcus Kassels, the disgraced son of an aristocratic Swiss diplomat and scientific genius, and who served in the British Army and led a US platoon nicknamed "The Baron's Brigade" in the Korean War before being accused of a massacre of civilians.
He fled to Africa where he became a mercenary, fighting in conflicts all over the world before forming his own private terrorist army, the Red Shadows and adopting the alias Baron Ironblood, based on his family's Latin motto of "Sanguineo Ferris" "our blood is of iron".
After numerous defeats at the hands of Action Force he would abandon the Red Shadows and form the Cobra organisation, adopting the new identity of Cobra Commander. The "Extended Action Cut" is quite well named with this title because it is substantially better than the theatrical version—not only in the action department.
A number of more violent moments are back, a few large ones that are completely new and surprisingly much more character development that even leads to some minor changes in the story. While American audiences will have to be patient to get their hands on the extended cut it is Best Buy exclusive for the first weeks , British customers have it easier. All Blu-ray disc editions feature both the theatrical and the Extended Cut. In total, the Extended Cut runs approximately 12 minutes longer than the well-known theatrical version.
Sign In. Joe: Retaliation But in the G. For the blissfully unaware, Cobra are the bad guys. There are two ways to look at it: Either Snake Eyes delivers an incredibly sympathetic portrayal of a would-be villain, or it has one of the most unlikable protagonists in recent memory. In the broader pop culture landscape, you only need to look back one week to the Loki finale to know that the satisfaction of finally exacting revenge is fleeting, and ultimately, empty.
Of course, the moral in Snake Eyes is that its title character learns this lesson the hard way, and only after betraying someone who looked to him like a brother. A frequent problem with modern blockbusters—the Marvel Cinematic Universe in particular—is that the villains are almost cartoonishly flawed and one-dimensional, leaving little room for nuance so that the viewer comfortably sides with the good guy s.
Even an extended motorcycle chase is a derivative of the far superior motorcycle scene John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum , which itself was an homage to an even more badass motorcycle sequence in The Villainess. If only a movie based on a bunch of action figures stayed true to its roots by embracing the limitless potential of its characters—and the capable actors playing them—being treated like a bunch of action figures. The giant anacondas can hang, though. Verno and KOC also touch on the Pacers-Jazz game that resulted in four ejections and discuss a side effect of the higher level of physicality in the game.

Storm Shadow then leaves in peace following Cobra Commander's retreat and Firefly's death. Storm Shadow was an aggressive and ruthless man who was capable of committing murder without a second thought. In his youth, he was completely envious of Snake-Eyes, because the other boy was his clan's appraised student and their master's favorite.
Storm Shadow believed that fear was a good way of keeping people in line and held no qualms about killing innocent people. He was indifferent about destroying Paris; in fact, he was the one that fired the missile filled with nanomite warheads which would have resulted in the French capital city's destruction and cause its people to panic.
Storm Shadow was also very confident in his abilities and believed that he would be capable of defeating and even killing Snake-Eyes, though the other ninja eventually emerged victorious during their final battle.
Interestingly Shadow once referred to Snake-Eyes as "brother" even though they were not related and certainly did not have a brotherly relationship. Despite his aggressive and ruthless nature, Zartan said that Storm Shadow never killed women. When Zartan killed Cover Girl, Shadow said that he would make an exception this time. Storm Shadow was a master of martial arts and he was an absolutely lethal fighter.
Out of all the members of G. Joe, only Snake-Eyes has been able to combat him on equal terms. He wielded 2 katana swords which he could clip together to form a single double bladed sword. Shadow was also able to throw shuriken with deadly accuracy. In his youth, he also proven to be skilled at wielding a nunchaku, being able to defeat Snake-Eyes whilst using the weapon. Even without his weapons, Shadow was still a deadly opponent being a master of hand-to-hand combat.
Like Snake-Eyes, he was capable of performing impressive acrobatics and moving with great agility. His fighting style was apparently more aggressive than Snake-Eyes' style, which suited his aggressive personality. Alternate Continuities G. Joe: Renegades : Cobra Commander Dr. Mindbender G.
