[@salvation7362]

My parents would never buy me GI-Joe toys growing up. They were hippies and didn't like the war mongering that it showcased. I pointed out that in GI-Joe, no one ever dies... even when planes are shot down, the pilots parachute to safety but in Star Wars (which they bought for me since the movies came out) people die all the time. Point being... don't be smarter than your parents. Christmas' suck after that and now I know and knowing is half the battle.

[@DetarakoRax]

Case and point your parents suck

[@michaelchirgwin5516]

Well, warmongering can exist independent of violence. The Joes are a military organization, after all. I never saw the show (it didn't really air in Australia), so it'd help if you could answer this: are the Joes ever shown to be in the wrong? Even a little? Are they ever shown to be making a bad call, overstepping their responsibilities, or in any way flawed and fallible? Because if our stand-in for the American military are shown to be this perfect force beyond reproach then... yeah, kind of propagan-tastic.

[@cjwrench07]

Doctor Carrion you didn’t see the whole part of this movie where the brother is a screw up soldier, and his self-serving choices lead to the escape of a bad guy and other soldiers being injured?? While this was basically military propaganda, it wasn’t fighting the “soviet scourge” but an non-national military force, who wanted to rule the world. They are shown making mistakes, which lead to nhaving to retreat, or surrendering to the bad guys. That’s more reality than SW with its ultimate message of: all empire supporters(even Luke’s childhood friends, and almost like himself) are evil, and killing them by the millions poses no moral quandaries. Even a soldier who was brainwashed, forced into indentured servitude, trained to kill, and forced by genetic manipulation to always follow orders. You seem to be wanting personal conflict, and anti-hero’s, in a CHILDREN’S TV show / Movie. There’s a major difference in the intended crowd for Star Wars, and a GI Joe cartoon.

[@kwakupnk]

people die all the time, it just isn't directly shown.

[@Alphasnowbordergirl]

Actually, that might make it way worse. It's glorifying war to children who will have in the back in their mind that no one really gets hurt from conflict. If a plane is shot down, the pilot will be fine. In essence, your parents were correct. However, if you have good parents who teach their children that in a real war, people die and suffer and should not be taken lightly, then sure, letting kids watch G.I. Joe will cause no harm. But there will always be those group of parents who will let the tv raise their kids.

[@monsterhunter66]

Spiderkillers, Inc Wow... that's fascinating. Maybe that was the inspiration for Serpentor's costume. I need to research this.🤔

[@scitechian]

Oh, so that explains why the snake-headed guy in the Galaxy Warriors line was named Sahak.

[@blankblank1284]

That was in the Shanemeh, in Iranian Myth he was an actualky three headed dragon. If he was baed on Zahhāk from the Shanameh is the inspiration that implies that he was curropted by some higher, unimaginably evil force.

I had completely forgotten how hilarious we found the Cobralalala war cry until you mentioned it. Also I found it weird how Duke never showed up again after being put into a 'coma'. Huh now I know. And knowing... Yeah you get the idea.

[@GuyontheInternet525]

This looks amazing for the 80s

[@AutoArtemAuto]

Gotta love that hand drawn animation.

[@funkyweapon1981]

Arigatou gozaimashita, Toei Animation!

[@AlphaProto]

Yeah, the short cuts computers give have made a lot of 2-D animation look bad. I thought computers would help to make animation better. It's just made most animators lazy, and the animation has gotten worse.

[@jacquesmovies3633]

I watched this movie so many times as a kid. Its good.

[@fallouthirteen]

Computers can be a big help. Unfortunately it also helps the people who have no idea or care what they're doing to make something passable.

[@Excalibur-Sonic]

I feel that Cobra Commander sounds what G1 StarScream would as a human.

[@SASPAT31]

Jackie Jones same voice actor

[@popoutstudios5227]

Fun fact. The thing cobra commander was sprayed with began turning him into a literal cobra, who kept chanting "once a man".

[@irongrenadier0177]

cobra lalalalalalalaAHHH!

[@radkonpsygami7634]

I gotta find a ring tone for that Cobralalalalalallalalala!

[@EmperorTyrael]

Don't know if you can find that, I just download this video as an mp3 audio file and cut everything except that part.

[@jasoncase9481]

Andy Bell 1 of the greatest funniest unintimidating things said by a Villain.

[@ArcturusMinsk]

see the problem here is that he's not screaming that as he's punching a JoeJoe a hundred times after dropping a steam roller on him.

[@admech590]

ALUAH ACKBARARARARRARAAAAAH!

[@KingOfMadCows]

So what's the deal between G.I. Joe's Cobra and DC Comic's Kobra? Was there any legal dispute between them? There are so many similarities.

[@monsterhunter66]

KingOfMadCows DC's Kobra is more of Death cult than a terrorist organization. I'll admit there are similarities though.

[@gerardomunoz6725]

KingOfMadCows apparently along time ago DC use to own the rights to publish GI Joe comics and created Cobra. But when it lost the rights they wanted to keep Cobra but they had to change it by making it a cult & change the spelling with a K instead of a C. Also Marvel's Hydra was originally a ripoff of Cobra.

[@xgray2012]

KingOfMadCows *COBRA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LAH!!!!!*

[@nemesis3587]

+Gerardo Munoz, so many thing is wrong in your comment. Marvel comics had the rights not DC. Hydra and Kobra created way before G.I Joe. Both of them created by same guy, Jack Kirby. Cobra has some elements from both them.

[@twilightzoneseinfeld]

Gerardo Munoz It was Marvel Comics who had the rights. Both Hydra and Kobra existed before Cobra of GI Joe

[@enjoiorange]

Aggressively American is my new favorite phrase

[@Adamguy2003]

I can't believe I never realized that was Burgess Meredith voicing Golobulus! That guy really could play any role! I, too, miss the days of snake terrorists. Oh, and two great moments in this movie that the Critic never mentioned: 1. In the scene when Golobulus is explaining the reptile people's history, there's this little exchange that I have always found freaking hilarious for some reason: Golobulus: "(re: The primitive cave people that emerged after the Ice Age) Eventually, they evolved." The Baroness: "(Glancing at a few of COBRA'S more crude and thuggish henchmen standing around looking like total morons) If you ask me, some of them did NOT evolve." 2. (I'm REALLY surprised the Critic didn't mention this, as he, like me, was clearly a Sergeant Slaughter fan) In the film's climax, not only does Sergeant Slaughter single- handedly defeat Golobulus's main enforcer/ muscle with his bare hands, but then as he delivers the final blow, he bellows "AND THIS IS FOR *THE WHOLE USA*!" I seriously expected the Critic to highlight that scene, cheer on Slaughter, and possibly have another Amerigasm!

[@null9202]

AMERIGASM!!

[@lemmyftwvoodoo1235]

Tankersly Wtf is your pfp

[@zachstelzer3551]

The first scene gave me a amerigasim but it would not be more American if trump said he didn't like the scene because trump is making Merida great again

[@Changeling9000]

Cobra! CORBA!

[@chaserthedragon9516]

Just wait until you see BroForce.... the most american thing i have ever seen...

[@funkyweapon1981]

That game rules!

[@Fubukio]

What? Nostalgia Critic reviewed G.I. Joe without Angry Joe? BLASPHEMY!

[@thomasplummer8103]

Honestly, as much fun as I would have seeing Joe Review this, this was just about the perfect review as is. Doug was sharper and more on point with humor and timing than he has been in years, and there was a sense of genuine enthusiasm.

[@Fubukio]

Nostalgia Critic should've at least let Angry Joe cameo this review, it's be a lot more hilariously entertaining.

[@umphreak9999]

didn't you hear, joe's on vacation from his hectic schedule of crapping out sub-Jahns level movie reviews and sponsored content

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

what does angry joe have to do with gi joe aside from sharing a similar, extremely common name? stupid comment is stupid.

[@Airosteh5th]

@Father AxeKeeper He sometimes wears a Cobra Commander mask when doing skits about game companies.

[@Frey_2026]

I'm not gonna lie, in my opinion, Doug is the funniest when he's in the chair talking to himself. Not in the extremely elaborate skits with a huge cast, but when he's in the chair freaking out.

[@alexbarfield5248]

I just watch the opening. Over and over.

[@albert453able]

So this is where AngryJoe got his inspiration...

[@bunnyboyking5215]

albert453able Yeah. Meanwhile I don't hate AngryJoe despite the controversy. I don't care if a KZbinr decides to go on a break. And if fans are being whiny & unsatisfactory that they can't stand something different. Then I couldn't care less if he rightfully tells them to shut up.

[@thatnerdyguy8701]

albert453able yeah.

[@poiuytrewq11422]

Bunnyboy King I think the fans are in the wrong with this one. Bunch of ungrateful cunts.

[@ghostwiener1262]

A-Carmine916 Nice burn dude! I stopped watching when he realized that he review First Person Shooters more often than not.

[@browning2471]

i think he might be talking about the theme

[@silvermoonlight4520]

So starscreem is cobra..... huh

[@nimblehealer199]

Silver Dash yep

[@brendanlowe8080]

Yep. And fun fact: Cobra Commander appeared in a Transformers episode.

I LAUGHED SO HARD 😂 Seeing Doug get this excited was fun!!! 😂😂😂👏 Me and my little brother loved this show!!!!

[@Beacuzz]

Finally heard Critic fanscream

[@realironsquid1701]

The Cobra commander sounds like starscream

[@louiscyfear878]

Chris Latta he was also on Married With Children

[@rileynybeck3024]

Michael Song same guy

[@AiRJacobs]

'cause he was voiced by the same guy.

[@lrbrolyistrashcomparedtobi2693]

Too bad Habro treats GI Joe like Capcom treats Megaman

[@chickenalaking1319]

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

Come on Hasbro! Give merica some love!

[@jonathanh7509]

Don't worry, at least we didn't get a G.I. Joe rip off and fail miserably. *Cough cough* Mighty No 9 *cough cough*

[@holdenk380]

Don't forget how they treat Transformers!

[@RyanTheAccuser]

Crawmerax Im not talking about the movies. Transformers has several good and current toy lines, cartoons, and other media. The only thing the Joes have is some comics.

[@mastervidxad5883]

Now, Nostalgia Critic has to review the Emoji Movie...

[@Changeling9000]

Master Vidxad 58 probably when it's out on DVD

[@coolcomment8]

The thing is that everything he said in the Norm of the north review, he can apply it to the Emoji Movie. It's exactly what we expected.

[@valdezsaihttam5871]

Master Vidxad 58 With Jacksfilms

[@videodroid3807]

Oh so....nostalgic?

[@mastervidxad5883]

ՏѦBѦH To see him suffer...it's funny to see a person suffer, no?

[@fanfaretloudest]

"Is that so wrong....?" Do a review to a movie you're nostaligic about? HOW DARE YOU???? ;)

[@reptilitronousprime9213]

I don't hear anything like Homer's scream when the exaggerated Cobra war cry commenced

[@williamhiers1280]

The end of it, he meant, when it goes high-pitched on the last "la."

[@marshmellow9281]

'Murica.

[@thesuperloregod4815]

I did not realize you were American Matt, I thought you were British.

[@weeping_me362]

The super Lore god Murcia helped out in WW2. The Brits are just showing their thanks.

[@diegobareno5820]

Murica indeed.

[@mackdebruin999]

What? No Angry Joe cameo? This review was primed for it! What's Joe been up to anyway? *checks channel Oh..........

[@TheShadowsega75Terryman]

Mack Debruin Bah Screw Angry Joe he's being a whiny little bitch.

[@ZadnoleyaEdits]

Mack Debruin what happened to him?

[@TheShadowsega75Terryman]

ZadnoleyaEdits He went on vacation after he fed up on people mocking and criticized him. That's what he gets for making a very stupid video on Nintendo.

[@TheMetastasia]

Which stupid video? Can´t find one specific about Nintendo.

[@HyperVegitoDBZ]

Shadowsega V2 Joe is such a fucking wimp that is amazed that people are mean to each other on the internet

[@mothboy4858]

Cobra Commander sounds oddly like Isaac from Children Of The Corn.

[@pathevermore3683]

he does, though not the same guy. CC and starscream both were voiced by the late great chris latta.

[@mothboy4858]

Path Evermore Yeah, I didn't think it was the same person. Isaac i was played by some guy named John Franklin.

[@thatgeek8064]

I'm so happy this review exists. This movie was my childhood and no one ever talks about it anymore

[@dDbalL-to7rt]

Nemesis Enforcer was a badass!!! Took non other than Sgt. Slaughter himself to bring him down!!!

[@LJ-hk4tv]

My dad loved this movie when he was a kid. He told me I was born in the wrong generation because they don't make stuff like this anymore.

[@rileynybeck3024]

LJ true

[@1slayer959]

LJ damn right you were born in the wrong generation. we made emojis

[@andrewwww1102]

ITS TIME TO STOP

[@jams4218]

your dad is correct

[@dragonslayermasterornstein83]

and THE EMOJI MOVIE.

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

Cobra: Come Join my Forces and you will live to be my pet. Starscream: As long as Megatron is perished, I accept your consideration. Then came G2 Transformers.

[@Godzilla-mq5zv]

Patrick Martins And everyone cried.

[@elizabethtrudgill8226]

How can you laugh at Chris Latta? He's Starscream.

[@batnerd5148]

how can you not? ;)

[@brandesmears6254]

Am I the only one getting Starscream vibes off Cobra Commander?

[@pathevermore3683]

both were voiced by the late great chris latta

[@brandesmears6254]

Path Evermore cool, the more you know

[@jakejutras2733]

brandes mears Now you know! And knowing is half the battle!

[@spengler2258]

'LORD MEGATRON, YOU FOOL!'

[@David315842]

The late Christopher Collins (or known by his stage name Chris Latta) provided the voices for both characters as well as several others in the animated Hasbro universe. And since now you know and knowing is half the battle, you can now fight that battle........G I JOOOOOOOOOE!

[@acehammer6284]

can't say I was all that into G.I. Joe growing I guess I came along just a lil bit late for the Joe hype but I didn't know there was a Joe movie, but after seeing this I will definitely have to watch this movie that "COBRALALALALALA" scream was just too freaking hilarious lol

[@Deadeye313]

Ace HAMMER it is one of the greatest animated movies ever. Worth watching over and over.

[@robertusaugustus2003]

I just realized that Cobra Commander, Starscream and Cicero from Skyrim are the same person. I'M SEEING DEAD KINGS

[@JoelKellenProductions]

Just saw this in theaters last week, and the opening alone had me grinning from ear to ear.

[@Nala15-Artist]

COBRA-LALALALALALALALALALALALALLAAAAAA!
