Karolina Kurkova driving a tank. And being badass about it. Covergirl being insanely hot was never really well depicted in the comic, and she was kinda passed over for Lady Jaye in the cartoon. Yeah Snake Eyes is gonna be a badass ninja warrior and Cobra Comander should be half comedy half major theat (I'm thinking Jack Nicolson/Shining + Alan Rikman Sherrif of Noddingham "Cut out your heart with a spoon, because it will hurt MORE") But show me a hot chick, driving some heavy metal and not being gooney about it? Oh hell yeah!
this thread needs pics, so others don't have to google her like I just did. I present to you, your new cover girl:
Win. Win. Win. anyway, i have seen the pics of Baroness for this movie and feel disappointed- the comic had her as a thick sister who had more curves than a lamborghini. But sigh, i wanna see Baroness period. other things i want: Curse words. I want Duke to bark and make Cobra guys wee in the tights. I don't want stereotypes. I just want real characters that are unique. I want a Dragonfly. and CC should not have an ounce of comedy. just always felt that with all that power, toys and things, he should win and make Joes fight to get it all back to normal.
As someone who read the old marvel run from the mid teens (Dr. Venom) up to at least the Saw Viper issues. The Baroness used to be kinda ugly. I think they based her on some 60's radicals who set off pipe bombs in college and what not. It was actually Covergirl IIRC that hit the Baroness's HISS tank and she was burned over 80% of her body. Destro got her the best plastic surgeon in all of Europe. After that she looked pretty hot. So what I'm saying is she might owe her curves to Du-pont (plastics) and not Darwin. Also as much as I DO want Cobra Commander to be a legitimate threat, I kinda want some comic relief meglomania too. I mean, if you're the 3rd redshirt viper on the right, and you fail CC, he would shoot you in the head. Then after your body falls to the ground, he'll continue yelling at you while emptying the clip into your body. *Ahem* "Commander! The Joes got away!" "What?!?" "Umm, they escaped though the sewers?" "Incompetent!" *BLAM* *thud* "Who built the torture chamber next to the sewer line?!?" *BLAM* *BLAM* "Can no one here read a blue print?!?" *BLAM* "Didn't any one notice they were digging a tunnel?!?" *BLAM**BLAM**BLAM* "Who let them have a toilet anyway?!?" *BLAM**BLAM**BLAM**BLAM* ~click~ ~click~~click~ "DO I make myself clear?!?"
LOL Infosaur. No I'll be thinking of CC as Jack Nicholson's Joker. "Scarface, you are my number one guy." BLAM!
