G.I. Joe: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! (1986) THROW BACK REVIEW


Well, for those of us that remember the comic books more than the cartoon...watching it again is super confusing. And the military ranks seem to make no sense. Duke is in charge, and he's a Master Sergent...and he's in charge over Lieutenant Falcon...who is a Lieutenant.

Falcon is an O2, Duke only an E8, it should really be the other way around, right? Or was it inspired by Oliver Stone's Platoon?

Who cares? It also has a man dressed as a snake flying around on a regal throne thing...with lasers.

And in typical GI Joe cartoon fashion no one dies...and that was likely because of the trauma Transformers movie caused me and so many other children at the time.

Really, honestly, it's just an absolutely awesome and insanely high quality cartoon that the adult can enjoy for more than nostalgic reasons...mainly that it makes no sense in the best possible way.

Someone really needs to review this from a military standpoint.
