For me, that beginning sequence of the movie with Pythona getting through all the Cobra defenses to get to Serpentor put me in awe as a kid. I thought to myself, this woman just took down all of Cobra by herself, which the entire GI Joe team hasn't been able to do EVER!! From that moment on, I loved her. Just loved her character. I wanted more from her and was sad she died at the end.
I find it interesting that few people know the origin behind Zarana's character design. Her unique look is based on Wendy Williams the late lead singer of the Plasmatics. From the hair to the face to the attitude, it's spot on.
Baroness and Evil-lyn are my 2 80s bad girls.
Did we forget about the weird love relationship between Zarana and Mainframe? I certainly haven't. It would have been interesting to see how that relationship progressed.
Cobra has a higher turnover rate than a telemarketer call center 😂
One character that I'm surprised you didn't list is cadet Deming. I believe she was in just one episode of the series. She was in that 2 part episode about Shipwreck (There's no place like Springfield) in which she tried to get the formula from Shipwreck's mind and ended up going insane. It was crazy. And there was another female cadet in the second season who tried to kill Leatherneck. I can't remember the episode or character name. Oh, and Zarna was also in love with mainframe in the animated series.
Yeah, Baroness is definitely #1, objectively. However, Zarana is my favorite. It's similar to the Joes, where Scarlett is objectively #1, but my favorite is Lady Jaye. I guess I just like the rougher, scrappier ladies with lots of attitude.
"That's what Shipwreck is into." He's in the Navy, they don't have many things they are not into.
The others will be forgotten to the sands of time, because there can only be one. The Baroness. A character Sienna Miller did justice in her role.
Thanks for putting this together, its a great list that helped me with a few Cobra videos. You channel is great resource for GI Joe.
I've missed your videos! You knocked it outta the park, as usual!
Here's what I could find as additions: Undertow Officer, Astoria Carlton-Ritz, Julie Kreig, Cadet Demming, Chameleon, Rednok, Tempest, Leila, Evy, Daemon, Savane, and Siren.
I still remember the first time I saw the Baroness. I was 6 years old in 1984, and it started a... Trend... That has got me in so many problems... That a$$ though...
Baroness will always be number one, but pythons is my runner up
You forgot Chameleon, the Baroness's sister, who defected to GI Joe and became some kind of Bond Girl in the IDW series.
The ladies of Cobra are real snake charmers.
This was pretty interesting; my GI Joe knowledge is a bit more peripheral, so the only characters I even knew from the list were the Baroness, Zarana, Pythona... and bottom-of-the-list Dr Biggles-Jones, who I know from her crossover into the Transformers series...
I’m in the Uncensored group. That’s actually how started watching your vids. Someone recently recommended them to me.
GREAT RANKING. More please.
