Christ I hate Christopher Eccleston from first exposure already, in G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra here. Liked him fine& even looked forward to Doctor Who starting again, and then he went & soured himself to me once that finished. Couldn't rly stand him after that.
But then I used to have leniency 4 the "Doctor" in this, 2, SO hoping 4 even some kind of a Cobra. I'm so willing, wanting SMTH at least, forgiving a lot. At _first_.
But you go & fuck things up. Too badly 2 stay w/ it beyond a 1st attempt.
Zartan is still the sexiest thing in it though, things lighting up the moment he shows up, just doing his own thang entirely, stealing the movie from boring AF people. Getting a clean cut someone entirely wrong for Scarlett included. But if they wanted someone you want to shoot on sight, Eccleston is well placed.
Byung-hun Lee is the other star aside #ArnoldVosloo's #Zartan ofc. Just not in it enough, either of them.
So Jonathan Pryce doesn't work for me like Arnold Vosloo does, but I mean, c'mon, President of the United States -powerwhoring potential if you RP things some with Zartan in that form as well.
Add in the far better 2nd movie's Firefly + 2nd movie Cobra Commander in a pinch & that already alluded to sandwich of movie Cobras has big potential. Original Zartan + Firefly mainly. Talk about dangerous sex tho. # Hawt.
"You're so 2000 & late" song also it. Popcorn movie memories.
@uliwitness Oh, someone is 'asking' for my list of "Cobras & Beach-Head I Fancied In The Animation & Comic"? Don't mind if I do.
(What keyword did you use to find the gif tho, if I google things?)
I mean, do NOT read beyond this with the following comment if you people don't wanna know (inconsequential things like that).
@uliwitness As warned, TMI or not.
Cobra Commander was probably a major kink, Chris Latta's voice working for me. Destro had his animation moments (bc I was 13?) but no. Storm Shadow was fine ofc but ultimately probably not.
Firefly, Zartan, Buzzer (comics more so) yes. Tomax & Xamot. Zandar +Trasher maybe. Beach-Head you 'rude' AF/funny fucker, my main liked Joe.
Mainframe had that 1 epi but I'm mostly just a sucker for villain/hero ships, not him.
I forget who else.
@uliwitness I don't respond that well to "demands" ofc, but as was listing things otherwise to reminisce, anyway, you got a pass.
Just needed things written down right, finding the best available pictures from old folders & whatever all first. I didn't even write as long ALTs as usual, but they still take ages to write even so.
Never heard of w/ever the Windows Emoji Palette is either, but irrelevant ATM.
I assume you more or less fancied some1 in it if asking tho. Who?
@ElysiaMacht Wasn't meant as a demand, was meant as the encouragement, as a āthere are more of us here, who appreciate these fandomsā.
Windows Emoji Palette is just the pop up you get when you hold Win+. on a recent Windows. Let's you pick Emoji to be inserted into the current text field. And since a recent update also pastes in GIFs from Tenor or somesuch service. Like the āglobe key" or Cmd+Ctrl+Space on a Mac. I'm sure Linux has an equivalent, but I don't remember š
@ElysiaMacht Regarding thirsting: My main ship were Lady Jaye and Zartan. I must have also loved that episode where Zarana goes undercover and dates Mainframe, as I remembered that general plot, but didnāt recall which Joe was involved.
In general I loved the Cobra characters more than the Joes, but loved them especially when they grew a conscience (or just disagreed with Cobra Commanderās goals) and helped the Joes.
