History WMG / GIJoeRetaliation

[[WMG: Creator/BruceWillis' character is [[spoiler:Joseph Colton]]]]
In the latest trailer, he calls himself [[spoiler:Joe.]]

Slaughter [[spoiler:A former Cobra Viper.]]

Serpentor [[spoiler: A resurrected and brainwashed Duke as a Viper]]

One of them had the airstrike arrive too early, knowing Rex would be there. They were grooming him to become their new leader.

Related to the theory above about Destro leading a third faction, the movie will be about G.I. Joe stopping both groups. Destro will want revenge on Commander for not only putting the nanotech metal mask on his face, but for using him and his company (if the theory about Cobra existing before he even usurped [=McCullen=]).

Zarana (If Zartan really is dead [see below], his twin sister will join Cobra to avenge him. She's the only female Zartan has any respect, due to being family. Bringing along the rest of the Dreadnoks, who'll be more of a [[AdaptationalJobChange mercenary group instead of a biker gang]]. Though they would ride motorcycles during a chase scene.)

[[WMG: Relatedly, Cobr-La/Koh-Buru-Lah had placed spies [[WeAreEverywhere all over the world]].]]

Tomax and Xamot (They'll be Destro's dragons, if Major Bludd becomes Commander's (see below), since they'll likely be [=CEOs=] of Extensive Enterprises and has business dealings with James [=McCullen=].)

Just had to mention it.

Zarana (If Zartan really is dead [see below], his twin sister will join Cobra to avenge him. Bringing along the rest of the Dreadlocks, who'll be more of a [[AdaptationalJobChange mercenary group instead of a biker gang]]. Though they would ride motorcycles during a chase scene.)

* The explosion broke him free from his confines and he escaped.

So what did he accomplish in this movie? He got the GI Joes mostly killed and destroyed the world's nuclear arsenal completely. He even devastated most of London and had Destro killed. He also had his escape really handy for a guy who was about to take over the world. As the third movie unfolds, it will probably become clear that all he was after was nuclear disarmament; and that leads into his next plan.

[[WMG: The Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra Baroness will not return.]]

Related to the theory above about Destro leading a third faction, the movie will be about G.I. Joe stopping both groups.

The movie will have Destro kidnapping Ana, [[EntitledBastard still believing she's his]], and use her against Cobra Commander. Ana will be Commander's MoralityPet, or as a [[MoralEventHorizon weakness that needs to be rid of]].

[[WMG: The third movie will be a [[SpiritualSuccessor soft reboot]] taking place in the Hasbro Cinematic Universe.]]

To redeem herself, avenge Duke, and bring her brother to justice.

[[WMG: The third movie's {{Stinger}} would show a {{cult}} worshipping Cobra-La.]]

Zarana (If Zartan really is dead [see below], his twin sister will join Cobra to avenge him. Bringing along the Dreadlocks, who'll be more of a [[AdaptationalJobChange mercenary group instead of a biker gang]]. Though they would ride motorcycles during a chase scene.)

Zartan and Rex Lewis met one day and decided it would be awesome to TakeOverTheWorld, so they recruited a few other people (including Firefly and the "it's good to have you back boss" guy). They called themselves Cobra, and Rex had already called himself Cobra Commander. Eventually, Zartan, Storm Shadow and the Commander himself decided to infiltrate MARS Industries so they could seize its resources. Cobra Commander's MadScientist persona in the first movie was just a disguise he used for the infiltration. Having Zartan impersonate the President was originally his idea and he suggested it to James McCullen (which is why everyone treats it like his idea in Retaliation). And as for who ran Cobra between films? The "it's good to have you back boss" guy.

To redeem herself, avenge Duke, and bring her brother to justice.

[[WMG: Ana Lewis will join G.I. Joe.]]

Most of the Joes found new careers. The ones who remained were turned into a small American unit doing American things (like we see at the beginning of Retaliation.) The Pit was given to the Egyptian government, Breaker was allowed to return to French territory, etc. This explains the discrepancy between the way the organization is depicted in the two films, and means that Scarlett, General Hawk, Ripcord, etc. are still alive.

And it'll have cameos of everything from Transformers to My Little Pony and everything inbetween.

[[WMG: The sequel will be a [[SpiritualSuccessor soft reboot]] taking place in the Hasbro Cinematic Universe.]]

* Why would an Englishman, even a mercenary Englishman, work for the man who destroyed London?
* Major Bludd isn't English.
