G.I. Joe: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Song Free Download

After yet another defeat inflicted by G.I. Joe, the immediate subordinates of Cobra's leader, Cobra Commander, have finally come to the end of their patience with his apparent incompetence and his inability to achieve real victories. The leader of the research and interrogations wing, Dr. Mindbender, receives a dream showing the solution. His plan is to collect the genetic material of great warriors and military leaders to create a composite clone that would be the perfect leader for Cobra. Now they set out to put this scheme into motion, and G.I. Joe has very little time to learn of this plot before Cobra becomes that much more a dire threat to the world.
The G.I. Joe force learn that Cobra is out to clone a new leader for the organization, making them a greater threat than ever before.
WARNING: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS GALORE. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.<br/><br/>It was all so perfect...<br/><br/>The maniacal madman, Cobra Commander. The ambitious right-hand man, Destro, and his mistress, the Baroness. The master of disguise, Zartan, his equally cunning sister, Zaranna, and his crew of bikers, The Dreadnoks. The mysterious Ninja assassin, Stormshadow. Cobra&#39;s financial backers, the Crimson Twins, and their Crimson Guardsmen.<br/><br/>The main thing that drove G.I.Joe, in the cartoon and in the comics, was the ongoing tension between everyone in the Cobra ranks. The constant back-biting in Cobra was actually far more interesting than anything the Joes were doing!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, all that would come to an end...<br/><br/>Cobra&#39;s resident mad scientist, Dr. Mindbender, would get dreams that coerced him to gather up everyone in the Cobra ranks to travel around the world and dig up corpses (I wonder how THAT concept got past the PTC!) so he can create a new leader...the empiror, SERPENTOR!<br/><br/>Serpentor ranks right up there with Robotech&#39;s Lynn Minmei as one of the most irritating characters ever created!! He is nothing but a spoiled 2-year-old in a grown-up body, constantly yelling and screaming his stilted dialogue. This character is solely out of place, making the series move away from the pseudo-militaristic feel to a forced sci-fi feel. His mere presence ruined every episode he appeared in. Even worse, the constant tension between everyone in the Cobra ranks, the main thing that drives the G.I. Joe series, was instantly killed the moment Serpentor shows up, as everyone in Cobra does nothing but kiss up to the whiney Serpentor, while Cobra Commander is reduced to a pathetic lackey!<br/><br/>As much as Cobra was going through, the Joes weren&#39;t doing much better. The usually tough-as-nails/always-on-the-ball G.I.Joe was reduced to clumsy dimwits, just so they can be whipped into shape...by a bloated, overated pro-wrestler, SGT. Slaughter (how this guy got world title pushes while the likes of Tito Santana &amp; Ricky Steamboat never held a world title is a mystery to me)!<br/><br/>This miniseries planted the seeds of G.I. Joe&#39;s demise, just as replacing Optimus Prime with the ungrateful punk Rodimus Prime killed the Transformer franchise. From here, they would attempt to write off Cobra Commander even further, by making him a snake in the G.I.Joe movie, and having Cobra consist of a bunch of grotusque aliens.<br/><br/>So, if you are wondering why G.I.Joe isn&#39;t as prominent as they used to be, it started with THIS miniseries. Nowadays, in the current G.I.Joe toyline and the current comics from Image/Devil&#39;s Due Comics, you won&#39;t find hardly ANY mention of Serpentor, or the plots from the &#39;movie&#39;. And it is best kept that way!
The first five episodes of G.I. Joe&#39;s second season make up this &quot;movie,&quot; featuring the introduction of many new characters for Joe and Cobra, including the title villain. The plot has evil Cobra scientist Dr. Mindbender using DNA from historical conquerors (including Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Alexander the Great) to create a new leader for Cobra, since Mindbender and Destro are fed up with Cobra Commander. The experiment is a success (sort of) and the new Cobra leader, Serpentor, leads Cobra in a takeover of Washington, D.C. But the Joes, of course, are there to save the day.<br/><br/>We&#39;re introduced to a lot of new characters here. One of the main complaints from non-fans about &#39;80s cartoons like G.I. Joe is that they were just advertisements for the toys. In some ways that&#39;s true but I always felt the writing and characters rose above any crass commercialism that was behind the production of the series. That being said, it&#39;s hard to argue this isn&#39;t all about marketing new action figures (and vehicles). The new Cobras include the aforementioned Serpentor and Dr. Mindbender, as well as Dreadnok Thrasher and Zartan&#39;s previously unmentioned brother and sister, Zandar and Zarana. The new Joes introduced include General Hawk, Beachhead, Sci Fi, Lifeline, and Sgt. Slaughter (yes, the wrestler). As a kid, I hated Sgt. Slaughter&#39;s addition to the team and I especially hated how he was &#39;Super Joe,&#39; able to take on a whole squad of B.A.T.s (battle android troopers) alone. No female Joes in this one, for some reason. No Lady Jaye and no Scarlett. The only females are on the Cobra side, Zarana and (briefly) Baroness. Also missing are some of my favorite characters, like Storm Shadow, Quick Kick, and Spirit. Even Snake Eyes is pushed into the background. Who needs a super cool ninja commando when you have a pro wrassler body slamming the bad guys? Well, me, for one! <br/><br/>Too much focus on lame new characters is the biggest negative about this one. Still, Mindbender&#39;s plot is a cool concept (executed much better in the comic book series). The best parts are episodes 2 and 3, with Cobra gathering the DNA for Serpentor and the Joes trying to stop them. The first episode is too focused on introducing the new guys. Episode 4 is too Slaughter heavy and episode 5 suffers from the presence of Serpentor, the tool of tools. The animation and voice work are good for the era. The exception being Sgt. Slaughter, who does his own voice and grates on the nerves fast. One of the more annoying aspects of this new season and direction was the constant shouting of Slaughter and Serpentor. Neither character ever dropped below a 9 out of 10 on the intense scale. It was ridiculous. Anyway, this is not a good jumping-on point if you are new to G.I. Joe. Definitely check out the superior first season and mini-series first, then start this. This season leads into the theatrical movie, which suffered from many of the same problems as this.
