    Mad gay.
  • Danisgod6491 · 8 months ago
    Lets not use the term Gay.
  • P.C. Police · 8 months ago
    Okay, this is homosexual.
  • fonz · 8 months ago
    really gay
  • Boob · 8 months ago
    I didn't say it wasn't do-able, I said it would make things more difficult. I would have liked to see the mirrored mask, and yes, it would have been possible. But I there ARE practical reasons for changing things. Believe it or not $150 million only covers so many special effects shots. And to compare the rendering involved in Rorschach's moving inkblot to what would be involved in doing accurate reflections of active scenes is ridiculous. The workload would be exponentially greater.
  • G.I. Jerk · 8 months ago
    this isn't gay. if it were it would be MUCH better designed.
  • shaggywann · 8 months ago
    Would you prefer the Mirrored Mask from the KIDDY SHOW??
    Keep in mind... full helmet, means NO EXPRESSION.
    Power Rangers anyone?? Has no person learned the lesson of Green Goblin in Spider-Man???
    I'll take this and have facial expressions over the kiddy Power Ranger stuff.
  • Phish · 8 months ago
    Looks retarded. What happened to the reflective face-mask from the cartoons??? That was WAY more badass.
  • elguason · 4 months ago
    I prefer the blue cloth the mask kinda made him look like a huge dildo....if you wanna talk about being gay...
  • Robin Grahm · 8 months ago
    what the.... ?
  • James · 8 months ago
    Jesus Christ...that's awful.
    Guess he finally sold out. At least no one will know it's him with the mask on.
  • ANGRYBROOMSTICK · 8 months ago
    yeah, I expected better from him :-(
  • Waingro · 8 months ago
    hahahah i laughed at that... and yeah that looks dumb
  • Rom · 8 months ago
    Wow. That looks pretty horrible.
  • tootalufilms · 8 months ago
    really? of all the costumes to fuck up they fucked his up? im almost speechless that is looks soo fucking stupid
  • Ethan · 8 months ago
    Good Lord that looks terrible.
  • GregoryV · 8 months ago
    At least it doesn't look like the Klu Klux Klan hood. Anyways, the updated commander looks mad scary fugly!
  • Danisgod6491 · 8 months ago
    I would have that one then this one.
  • Schofizzy · 8 months ago
    the hood would have been far better and how does it look like KKK? there is no point on Cobra Commander hood!!
  • Square · 8 months ago
    Dammit.
  • shameless · 8 months ago
    it looks like he wears a mask of hardened semen..
  • John Guard · 8 months ago
    shameless...........your sick.
  • face02 · 8 months ago
    Spoiler alert...
  • kfizz · 8 months ago
    I would not have cared if it was black but you can barley see the mask it self on the toy. Looks like the one melty dude from kablma or what ever the stop motion stuff. here is a clip.

  • Azure_Trayl · 8 months ago
    Really dumb, if anything they should have left out the eye holes and left the entire mask made up of that material, at least then it would look a bit menacing. Looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask reject.
  • dad · 8 months ago
    sooo bad
  • Parham · 8 months ago
    wtf
  • _Christopher_M · 8 months ago
    my thoughts exactly after that teaser trailer I thought there was hope...but how could they mess up Cobra Commander?...you just give the guy a balaclava to wear to hide his scared face, how hard is that? why go to the trouble of adding all that stuff?
  • Reason · 8 months ago
    Why didn't they just use the original metal plated face of Cobra Commander from the cartoon? That looks way better than THIS pile of shit. Even the blue hood looks better than this. Both cartoon versions were KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

    This looks like a ripped apart gas mask covered in dried liquor vomit.
  • Brad Arnold · 8 months ago
    I don't think you all realize how hard it would be to shoot a scene with a character that had a mirrored face. It would severely limit your angles, or you would have to digitally alter every frame because the camera, crew, lights and equipment would all be reflected in that mask. This isn't great, but it is not as bad as I was expecting considering the art on "The Doctor" card that came out a while back.
  • Sauce_ · 8 months ago
    Yep...They would need to alter every shot. Just like they did for Venom, Rorschach and a host of other characters from past movies. It's not that hard. We have computers and they're pretty freaking sweet. Not to mention the budget on this movie could handle it. Not a good excuse for this Pile.
  • fred · 6 months ago
    shut up dumbass
  • Peter · 6 months ago
    They could have put a green face on him and then covered it in post production with a digital silver overlay.
  • filmguy21 · 8 months ago
    at least it comes with a little snake...:(
  • starscream9289 · 8 months ago
    Every shred of hope that the teaser trailer gave me has been undone.
  • Sauce_ · 8 months ago
    Yep.
  • Danisgod6491 · 8 months ago
    Maybe they should have just used the German Helmet look with the mirror face plate. that was cool.
  • 6ftunderthegun · 8 months ago
    Wow. Even less reason for me to look forward to the butchering of a childhood joy.
  • Gajonka · 8 months ago
    looks like a star wars figure. it could be MUCH WORSE. IT IS REALLY TOO BAD. THIS IS UNFORTUNATE, WHY BNOT HAVE HIM WITH AT LEAST AN ALTERNATE CHROME HELMET HE COULD USE DURING BATTLE, OR FOR THOSE DAYS IN THE PAST WHEN HE USED TO BATTLE.

    REMEMBER- THE REASON HE WEARS A MASK IS BECASUE HE HAS 12 EYES THAT RESULTED FROM AN EXPERIMENT WITH SPORES THAT EXPLODED IN HIS FACE. HE WEARS THE MASK BECASUE OF THE 12 EYES, AND BECASUE IT FREAKS OUT HIS SOLDIERS AND HIS COMMONADERS.

    BUT, I HOPE THIS COMES THRU, AT LEAST ON THE COBRA SIDE.
  • Reel Thinker · 8 months ago
    Dude, stop shouting.
  • CBLARPA · 8 months ago
    Quit typing in all caps jackass
  • jason B · 8 months ago
    christ that's shitty.
  • thebertosaurus · 8 months ago
    Srsly?
    C'mooon.
  • Gajonka · 8 months ago
    THERE ARE SO MANY BADDIES THAT CAN BE USED, EVEN INCORPORATUING THE 5 DREADNOKS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT IDEA. ZARTAN IS A GREAT VILLAIN, DONT JUST MAKE HIM THE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE GUY WHO IS/ISNT ANOTHER PERSON ALA A PLASTIC MASK.

    THE ARMY OF COBRA SHOULD BE BIG AND DEEP, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING WITH THAT. DESTRO'S VOICE SHOULD BE DEEP WITH A SLIGHT SCOTTISH TWANG.

    OH, WELL, LEVITT IS A LITTLE FREAKY ( SEE STOP-LOSS) SO I HOPE HE TAKES IT SERIOULSY. HE IS A LEDGER WANNBE, SO LETS SEE WHAT YOU GOT KI.

    COOOOOBBBRRRAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Gajonka · 8 months ago
    WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE LOOKS LIKE THE DR. ? FOR MOST OF THE MOVIE.
    THAT IS NOT TRUE. ALL IT IS IS THAT HE PLAYING TWO CHARACTERS. THE DR. IS THE DR. AND CC IS CC. THANSK.
  • Gajonka · 8 months ago
    THANKS FOR THE PIC, THOUGH, THEY ONLY JUST RECENTLY BLOCKED HISSTANK AT MY WORK.

    THANKS!
  • Wiimo · 8 months ago
    Caps lock is cruise control for cool.
  • Palmer · 8 months ago
    Are you kidding me? It looks like complete crap.
  • JesseGouldsbury · 8 months ago
    hmmm....ummmmm....errrr.... uhhh that's odd.....
  • Stormy · 8 months ago
    Friggin' horrible. Looks like a cross between the worst parts of Destro and Dr. Mindbender.
  • Infrafan · 8 months ago
    God, it's Michael Bay's Transformers all over again. They took the wheel, and reinvented it into a pentagon. At this point, I don't want to see a Thundercats or He-Man movie.
  • Wiimo · 8 months ago
    I'm not sure what's worse.. the actual actor dressed like that or the figure looking nothing like him. Any positive thoughts I had on this film are going downhill.. fast.
  • _Christopher_M · 8 months ago
    He-Man might be good considering who the director is...the Henson Company more than likely will be doing creature effects on it...
  • Wiimo · 8 months ago
    I'm not sure what's worse.. the actual actor dressed like that or the fact that the figure looks nothing like him. Any positive thoughts I had on this film are going downhill.. fast.

  • TheDaftPunk · 8 months ago
    Let's not use retarded either.
  • Hans Van Harken · 8 months ago
    let's not worry about something this pointless, and stop being gay retards.
  • YoungZer0 · 8 months ago
    Well at least it's not as bad as with Deadpool in Wolverine.

  • edog · 8 months ago
    Will this movie be worse than Street Fighter?
  • Mecline · 7 months ago
    That's not even remotely possible.
  • Meli · 8 months ago
    Wow....that is incredibly ugly. I'm fully baffled on how they went from original character design to this, how do they think this is marketable??
  • BigLion · 8 months ago
    CCCOOOOOOOOBBBBBBRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Max Fan · 8 months ago
    That mask makes baby jebus cry... looks more like that guy Humungus from the Road Warrior This movie is gonna suck more than gay porn.
  • Kenny · 8 months ago
    very oh so super gaytastic
  • Beanerrific · 8 months ago
    This is gayer then Ellen DeGeneres jumping on stage to do a duet w/ Elton John at Lilith Fair w/ a rainbow in the sky...pathetic, he kinda looks like Jason X when he gets convered in metal from that machine after he is blown to bits. Lame....soooo lame....and gay....
  • John Guard · 8 months ago
    another reason why this film WILL SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it will probably make money but it will STILL SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
  • John Guard · 8 months ago
    now i know what it reminds me of !!!

    it looks like the crazy mask False Face wore in the 66 Batman series!

    some of you "kids" may not know what i mean..............
  • Aaron · 8 months ago
    Graphically rendering a straight, reflective, slate-gray mask is more expensive than that p.o.s.? I would have spent the money and reaped the rewards from extra ticket sales from the few fanboys not turned off by the lack of quality actors, changing of the standard costumes, or the many other changes I had made to a childhood favorite in hopes of streamlining it more a larger audience.
  • lukas2k · 8 months ago
    EPIC FAIL !
  • mchops · 8 months ago
    looks horrible but i'm pretty sure it will look different in the actual movie.
  • dxr · 8 months ago
    The term "all male bukakke session" comes to mind when I look at it. Not gay, though. Nothing gay about it.
  • jembot · 8 months ago
    agreed
  • dxr · 8 months ago
    Let's not use the term Jesus Christ, either. Or awful for that matter.
  • Cpt_Mal · 8 months ago
    OMFG Amazing!!!!

    jking, totally gay.
  • marz · 8 months ago
    is that cobra commander or did they accidently put skeletor from he-man..in the box??!!
  • Sauce_ · 8 months ago
    Never said it wasn't difficult. Just that, if they WANTED to go with reflective face they could have. This wasn't a $$ issue.
  • VON D · 8 months ago
    GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
    HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • Mike_J_M · 8 months ago
    booo... this thing looks horrible
  • Michael B · 8 months ago
    Ugh.

    Why are studios making movies like this, Dragonball Z, and Street Fighter: Chun Li?

    I'm not sure if it's the casting, the photography of the characters, or just the outfits...but it looks super cheesy.

    His outfit in the photo reminds me of Johnny Depp's costume in Willy Wonka.

    again, UGH.
  • ddaot · 8 months ago
    OMG first hollywodo kills dragon ball and now GIJOE wow looks stupid and gay
  • Jason · 8 months ago
    I didn't think Hollywood could have taken a bigger shit on my childhood memories by making this movie in the first place. But then they create the Cobra Commander to look like this. It seems as though after they came up with this design, they went out for a night of steak and Guinness's and took a huge, rich, meaty steamer right on my chest.
  • XCZ · 8 months ago
    Shameful. But not only Cobra Commander.. what about the Vipers? Is that hard to make an army of guys dressed in blue suits, flakvests, standard issue army helmets, balaclavas and a good old AK-47? Instead we got that futuristic shit. This movie will bomb, and I hope it does hard
  • Icarus Arts · 8 months ago
    Lame. Boo. If I can't get the old-school cobra commander, at least let me see JGL's performance!
  • Allan R. · 8 months ago
    ROFL, that's some funny shit!
  • ben · 8 months ago
    I bet they got rid of the metal mask because the brilliant studio figured that audiences couldn't tell the difference between two villains that had metal faces......
  • danield6 · 8 months ago
    His picture in the packaging looks like some guy doing a cosplay.
    And what is that thing he's holding? Looks like a wood glue holder. O_o
    The toys back then looks more modern than this.
  • danield6 · 8 months ago
    Yeah, that's the stuff we still have to see.
  • jfive32 · 8 months ago
    Wow! It looks like they just melted a plastic bag around his head ..Two thumbs up for the special effects guys!!
  • Goobity · 8 months ago
    ILM gave the job of painting out reflections of C3PO to an intern using photoshop. It's not that hard a thing to do, nowadays.

    I'd pay someone to paint every frame of THIS film black. Not that every character isn't already draped in it...
  • BadWasabi · 8 months ago
    Aaaaaww and it comes with its pet cobra snake!
    This is awful.
  • RamJelly · 8 months ago
    WHAT THE FUCK!? Stephen Sommers deserves to be gang raped by a syphilitic pack of fanboys. Only he could fuck up something that could have been so damn cool. It's not even out yet and I am already looking ahead fondly to the reboot.
  • gung ho · 8 months ago
    suddenly flames on opitmus dont seem bad at all
  • jerry seinfeld · 8 months ago
    y'all are morons - this isn't the final cobra mask. and i should know. trust me.
  • Robspartan · 8 months ago
    Not only is the GI Joe movie ruined, but the toys are gonna be ruined with the crappy movie figures for the next year and a half!
  • Landfill · 8 months ago
    This kind of sucks, but oh well. The only thing good about this movie was the teaser trailer a few months ago.
  • IBraineater · 8 months ago
    This is competely LAME! i have no idea why they just use the hooded commander the hood looks NOTHING like a kkk mask. Better yet why don't they use the REAL classic helmet and silver mask that's what they should of done/used.
  • Kato Diaz · 8 months ago
    This has got to be the MOST DUMBEST design I have ever seen! What a stupid way to change one of the Best Vilans of our time! I understand when makeing a great cartoon like G.I Joe into movie, some changes need to be made to make it or fit into reality. But the design team that worked on Cobra Commander just killed him dead! I read somewhere that the reason the original mask was changed was because it resembled a KKK mask??? What??? And this is the best design thay came up with? This is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck Sommers...
  • Troy · 8 months ago
    Okay, I can only hope there is some good in this movie. Dragonball was completly ruined....My guess is GI JOE will be also.

  • Hartter · 8 months ago
    my artwork from last week was pretty close, as it turns out....
    still would prefer the hood or plate
  • jrice73 · 8 months ago
    To answer someone above....Yes, this film will be worse than STREET FIGHTER.
  • Reel Thinker · 8 months ago
    I can't believe how much they have butchered every aspect of this movie and effectively thrown every opportunity out the window. This is going to tank so hard, it's a real shame because the G.I. Joe characters and stories have so much potential.
  • mchops · 8 months ago
    I don't know if it's going to tank but it's shaping up to be something of a disappointnment. It will end up being corny shit instead of a badass movie. Could be sick with cobra but it's looking doubtful.
  • KING_KUBRICK · 8 months ago
    This character had two awesome masks in the show, the mirror face and the hood... and both were extremely cool... why would they jettison BOTH of those. I could understand wanting to update the characters looks, but the two original concepts were really cool. There is no reason to take liberties with that. None...
  • RamJelly · 8 months ago
    WHAT THE FUCK!? Stephen Sommers deserves to be gang raped by a pack of syphilitic fanboys. Only he could fuck up something that could have been so damn cool. It's not even out yet and I am already longing for the reboot.
  • Vincent Vega · 8 months ago
    It's good to see the Gimp from Pulp Fiction working again!
  • hokiehill · 8 months ago
    why is it so hard for movie people to make things that don't suck?? i thought the 1st fake cobra commander image was bad, but this isn't any better if not worse...what's wrong with going straight from the cartoon? this movie is going to be street fighter bad!
  • sense111 · 8 months ago
    Why am I looking at his eyes and where are the rest of his eyes. This is going to be like Spiderman 3 isn't it. Where they kept showing Topher Graces face instead of Venom's face. All the outfits in this movie look very stupid so far. Did anybody see what Destro looks like, is it so hard to make a guy with a silver head.
  • richard m · 8 months ago
    yea, thats retartedly gay
  • Serpent O - R · 8 months ago
    Like Dustin Hoffman from 'Rain man' having relations with Tom Cruise from 'Cocktail' in a totally not incestuous homo re-re battle royale.

    I still respect you Joe Gordy, you didn't design the costumes...

    does anyone else have a problem with joseph gordon levitt in this movie? he's wayyy to pansy to play a gi joe

  • Steve_Ingram · 8 months ago
    The story about Cobra Commander having 12 eyes was for the animated movie that came out in 1986. It is the most argued fact about G.I.JOE. This is the problem when a cartoon is made into a live action feature. I hate this version of Cobra Commander. He looks nothing like C.C. at all. I am so pissed because they absolutely screw this whole thing up for me. i will probably get his on DVD due to the fact that I am a hardcore fan and purist. It has Street Fighter written all over it !!!!

  • theillestvillain · 7 months ago
    Come on this was the easiest thing to do and the FuCK iT UP! I mean like horribly. What the... the fuck is this? WHAT IS THAT! i dont want to see this anymore. I get changing things from the original to make it more badass. like changing Megatron into an alien ship instead of a pistol. but this... This is just the sand paper that scratched my taint for the last time!
  • Fred · 6 months ago
    I dont think I'm going to watch this movie. The costumes are everything.First Destro skinny with no mask now this bull shit.F-Hollywood
  • Peter · 6 months ago
    The problem I have seen with these figures in the store is that they look cheap. Really cheap. they didn't even use the same molds as the previous g.i. joe figures. They now bend mid torso rather than at the hips and their heads look shrunken... they did the same thing when they tried revamping he-man and its toy line.
  • alan · 6 months ago

    cobra commander and dr. minbender are butt buddies death them both all hail destro and zartan!!!!
  • James Richard · 5 months ago
    If you never watched the old cartoon. It in many ways wasn't to kiddie looking back at it. I mean the first and orginal cartoon movie for G.I.Joe has Cobra a terrorist organization attacking New York in the openning. I do believe something happened in real life to somewhat mirror this.

    As for Cobra Commander helmet sucks for the up coming movie. The old hood design was far better. My wife is black and I am Jewish and take no offense to the orginal hood. The thing with Cobra Commander in the orginal cartoon. Terrorism really didn't have a face to be seen. I think in many ways that is far more scary to see a guy that is going to try to kill you, but you never see his real face.

    Those making the movie doesn't understand the cartoon or comics at all. I am not looking forward to this movie. I think it will hurt the G.I.Joe license more then anything.

    I mean some stuff being taken out isn't a bad thing. I would like Cobra Commander not to be yelling "retreat" loudly and often in the middle of a fight. Also, if any of you were real fans you would know there is a guy who is the Doctor and not Cobra Commander. Cobra Commander isn't even human.

    Transformers is fake and made to look real. Why couldn't they do the same for G.I.Joe? It would seem that all the creative thoughts were left out when making G.I.Joe the rise of cobra.
  • tankhides · 5 months ago
    what .... is.....that! Looks like a vacum sealed ready for freezing piece of burned bacon with eyes. Is that a colagin needle he has as a weapon?
    I Knew they blew when they had JOE'S in "SUPERMAN" suits doing flippy's and shit! But comon!! If it looks like a kkk hood take out the point?? Right I mean if anything dull it down. Why do this? I really dont get it. Im not a hardcore fan but I loved the Joe's as a kid. I had the comics too. Betcha springfield (a city where COBRA is based outta) is a bakery or something. I will not give my money to these movies anymore. Everyone bitches and blogs but you all spend the cash and go see transformers and streetfighter and other movies YOU KNEW where crap. I say STOP cause hollywood thinks that screwing up great things IS WORKING!!!
