History WMG / GIJoeTheRiseofCobra

* Alternatively, she was never brainwashed in the first place. That was just a lie to make it easier for Duke to believe it. She knew all along that [[spoiler: Rex]] was really The Doctor. Her HighHeelFaceTurn was just part of his EvilPlan. In the sequel, the "reformed" Baroness will cut some kind of public deal with the President of the United States [[spoiler: actually Zartan]] in order to allow her to get close enough to The Commander and Destro in order to free them, echoing Destro's plot from the beginning of the movie.

Despite the change in age and having a sword rather than an arrow, the story is verbatim to the comics: Hard Master is found killed by Storm Shadow's weapon and Stormy runs away, everybody believes Stormy did it due to his jealously of Snake-Eyes. [[spoiler: In the original comicbooks, the real killer was Zartan, long story, but my guess is that the killer in the movie version was Firefly and he will appear in the sequel.]]
** [[spoiler: Confirmed in the sequel.]]

* Given that by the end of the movie [[spoiler: Cobra agent Zartan is ingratiating himself as the President of the United States]], maybe it'll involve the President pardoning Cobra and then having the Joes implicated as terrorists, leading to a ClearMyName situation for the Joes.

** Another addition to this is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSX2oxLdcWA&feature=player_embedded newest trailer]], where the "President" implicates our heroes as traitors [[spoiler: And apparently ordered an attack on the team.]]

Okay, maybe not a [=WMG=] per se; you can't really kill him off after just one installment. But! After being stabbed and falling into the icy arctic waters, Storm Shadow floats down, his bodily functions slowing as he descends into hypothermia. Of course, he's Arashikage. So he uses the Sleeping Phoenix to temporarily suspend his life, allowing him to continue to exist as the explosion of the underwater base throws him onto the ice-sheet. He is found by Cobra Commander, who isn't one to waste resources, and revived along with a good dose of mind-controlling nanobots. Storm Shadow then shows up in the sequel, brainwashed but with a HeelFaceTurn totally possible.

He may have been TheUnfavorite of the family with Ana being the only one who cares for him. He was picked on at school and was underappreciated for his intelligence all his life.

[[WMG: Storm Shadow is an assassin. From assassin's creed.]]
* Look at the wrist blade he used to kill baroness's ex-husband.

WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades is being put [[ExecutiveMeddling on hiatus]] due to possible brand confusion with the movie's sequel. If the sequel is called, say, "Renegades of Cobra", unaware viewers might think its in the same continuity as the cartoon, which it isn't. Having two continuities use the same word? [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Can't have that.]]
