10 Strongest G. I. Joe Characters Origins And Backstories - Explored In Detail

[@dravenvandross8281]

Fantastic video guys I freaking love GI Joe I mean that's my childhood and all these characters still mean a lot to me do more videos like this maybe on Thundarr The Barbarian more Thundercats stuff He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Voltron Transformers but definitely great video guys.

[@cynthiamiller586]

I'm glad they used the comicbook versions in this video, but it truly astounds me how many names they manage to mispronounce.

[@chuckmoore8668]

I would love to see a Scarlet and Black Widow crossover!

I sure hope you do a part 2 of this video. Because I greatly enjoyed this one. And I sure hope you mention Sergeant Slaughter and Wild Bill. Those two were some of my favorites of the GI Joe Cartoon series. Loved this video.

Regardless of what "Critics" say this was a monumental era in cartoons..... I understand it was all to sell Merch..... but it kinda worked in reverse...... You bought the toys and you couldn't wait to see if they were spotlighted on the Show. RealTalk

[@jakeproven256]

I agree. People need to stop using the fact that the show was made to sell toys as a crutch. If the show is good it doesn't matter.

[@akebac]

@@jakeproven256 and wasn't the worst ...... honestly..... Star Wars was Worse..... or maybe even Smurfs...... Even to delve deeper..... if it wasn't for the "Merch War"..... we would've never started getting PSA's at ends of shows! Lol

​Lady Jaye played by Adrienne Palicki was her third Comic Character on screen, Wonder Woman and Bobbie Morse, Zartan upset the Mental health group when they said on his figurine he'd various mental health issues, Stalker was the longest created member of GI Joe having been round under the name Tom Stone in the UK Action Man team in the 70s.

[@renomotlex]

It's impossible to seemlessly tie together the live action movies, various cartoons (aside from the Marvel/Sunbow masterpiece), and all the comics from various publishers through the years. Occasionally there are plot and historical inaccuracies within each iteration. Just like how there are plot inaccuracies in real life, at times.

[@MistahBryan]

Cobra Commanders BROTHER was driving while drunk, hit the car driven by Snake Eye's parents, killing them and Snake Eye's twin sister. Cobra Commander's brother also died in the accident. So, WHY did Cobra Commander feel it necessary to kill Snake Eyes, when Snake Eyes was in Vietnam at the time of the accident?

[@zerocool5395]

Why were the comments turned off on the Are You Afraid of the Dark video?

[@saltymisfit6566]

For all his twisted beliefs, Destro has a point that conflicts drive technological advancements and that man, in their base endeavors, will seek to dominate each other

[@MrSilus2000]

This is a myth though

[@House.Of.Pain.]

Damn, why Roadblock only get like a minute explained about him but everyone else gets like 5 minutes smh. Roadblock is one of my favorite Joes and he gets the least amount off time on a list about the quote on quote “Strongest Characters” when it comes to physical strength he’s either the strongest or one of the strongest easily!!! Seems low key kinda sketchy to me👀lol.

[@scarletking115]

War does lead to technological advances. Sometimes war is the a speed up of technological development. That makes new original stuff or updated stuff

[@madhavmandava]

Oh and snake eyes is everyones fav.....though the original will be missed in IDW...spoilers for those who dont know yet.....but the legacy of SE will never Die

I always did like duke in some ways...made me sad when i thought they killed him(cough...went to a come due to major backlash from transformers the movie) in the TV series since i started there.....but i do like how the IDW comics...G.I joe resolute and renegades make Duke more understandable and cooler....

[@rogeroxford3554]

Who are the strongest of the two factions?

[@medleystudios72]

No. You got you origin of Hawk wrong. President Kennedy approached Joe Colton and HE was the original G.I. Joe to head a team of elite soldiers. The program was halted with Kennedy's assassination. Clayton Abernathy was who was approached by Reagan in the early 80s to re-start the initiative and recruit soldiers for the team.

[@nemesis3587]

My top five is: 1-Cobra Commander 2-Sneke Eyes 3-Storm Shadow 4-Baroness 5-Flint

[@Critic_Chris90210]

I pretty much hated most of the cast in live action films. Only ones great were Ray Park. And the guy playing Storm Shadow. Worst one I could not stand was the guy who played Destro. He was a whiner and no fighter. Hope they make films more like the 1980's animated series. Loved characters on good guys and bad guys. I liked Serpentor more when he took over Cobra Commander's place. His appearance was awesome and ruthless. I liked the series Versions much better. Flint and Lady Jaye, & Sgt. Slaughter, Roadblock, Shipwreck and Snakeyes were my most favorites. Favorite villains were Serpentor, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, The Dreadlocks.

@@drakependragon8439 what characteristic of Ripcord that made it mandatory that he be white? Or maybe, just maybe, Hasbro wanted a already trademarked name to use for the character and had no qualms of a character who had no real exposure otherwise being something other than white

[@drakependragon8439]

@@CUniverse there is no characteristic that requires someone to be a certain race. Black Panther being from Africa doesn't mean he has to be black look at Elon Musk. Maybe Hasbro didn't believe that creating a new black character would have been able to get over. The same way Marvel and DC believe that new black characters can't make it so instead they steal established mantles and give hand me downs and table scraps to black characters because they need their token black rip offs

[@CUniverse]

@@drakependragon8439 Balck Panther is a terrible comparison because Wakanda eas always been cut off from other civilizations, meaning no other races were in thiwr country. And again, they had Marlon Wayans cast, they needed a character that did the role he was cats for, and Hasbro said sure, use Ripcord,its not like its the exact same character. This isn't as deep as you're trying to make it.
