I must say, it looks...alright. Not amazing or stunning or YEAH BEST MOVIE EVER, but like it'll be a fun, decent ride. Looks like Hawk and Destro are gonna have a fun scene together, even if the dialogue is kinda cheesy.

[onslaught86]

There are chainguns, that's all that matters.

I still can't get over Doctor Destro, though.

[Mirage]

That's "Ecclestro" to you, sir. Sounds like a Marvel villain, actually...

I saw the commercial during the Super Bowl last night. Was that Christopher Eccleston I saw, aka Doctor Who #9?

[Onslaught Six]

Yup. He's Destro.

[Dominic]

It looks to be about what I expected. Bad action sequences, though with a bit more WWF-style "USA! USA! USA!" than some of the early buzz led me to believe.

I have already been hearing people whine about Destro and Doctor Mindbender, so this is likely to be the enema many of the fans need.

Dom
-would just be happy with a good movie though.

The Doctor isn't Mindbender. He's

Spoiler

Cobra Commander. Eventually.

Also, Destro

Spoiler

gets his mask in some form or another. That green cloud thing? That's Destro's superweapon, his nanite cloud. I guess it gets unleashed on him and eats his face and makes it metal or something.

[Dominic]

Dunno if I like that. The whole idea of

Spoiler

Cobra Commander

is that he is supposed to be

Spoiler

the every man from hell, being a doctor contradicts that

.

[Onslaught Six]

Yeah, whatever, I'm not even gonna worry about it.

[Dominic]

I just would have appreciated some thematic consistency, that is all. The TF characters lacked it, but in the case of

Spoiler

Cobra Commander

there was that sort of thought put into the original character.


Dom
-thinks it might turn out to be

Spoiler

Doctor Mindbender

anyway, as it is listed as

Spoiler

"Th e Doctor"
