What do you mean, "compensate"? Primordial snake aliens were the best thing that ever happened to the franchise, short of William "The Refrigerator" Perry.
I LOVED the intro to this movie. I still do, actually. The rest of the effort is an embarrassment, but that into features pretty much all of the cool characters doing cool things. I love how Duke flies the bomb from the base of the statue of liberty up to the Cobra hovership in 6 seconds.
Something tells me that the Joes should have used those jetpacks more often.
I actually think minute three of that movie is the clear line of demarcation between when I loved GI Joe and when it all started to go to shit. I mean, they basically killed off Cobra Commander in the movie, introduced a crapload of new (lame) characters, and were only a year or two away from the Drug Enforcement team and aliens and shit.
Ugh.
And hey, let's not rag on Shipwreck. He was one of the better characters!

Because the Baroness is fucking hot, and Sargent Slaughter is the stupidest thing ever on television.
So Cobra is obviously superior.

Yum.
