Gay gi joe

Toy companies should leave everything ambiguous, and let the person buying the toys decide that issue for themselves. Now, the character designers behind Mindbender had to know what they were doing. Now, Baroness is herself not queer.

With his old Hollywood leading lady hairdo, black eye makeup, body armor, and exposed midriff, Zartan is essentially practicing the kind of joe drag that RuPaul was known for in the s. "Absolutely!" she said. Joe: The Movie. Hoodoo on the bizarre Lidsville.

Cobra is a pantheon of queer iconery, and G. Joe: The Movieparticularly the opening 10 minutes, is the absolute best example of this. Still, CC is being read-the-terror-drome-down-boots because he has 95 episodes of catastrophic failures to answer for.

G.I. Joe may be the straightest '80s action figure and cartoon franchise, but its villains are all campy queer icons and they need to be part of Pride Month. Except, in all that snake gear, Serpentor kinda looks like the emperor of Party City — but go off, sis.

Disney gave us Ursula, Jafar, Scar, Maleficent, Captain Hook, Hades, and plenty of other dastardly characters that the queer community can claim, at least subtextually. What if, in the next movie, G.I. Joe were gay? With that in mind, let’s celebrate animated Joe‘s 40th birthday with a look back at just a few of its gayest moments.

"Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not powerful.". I mean, probably! But can I, a gay man, also choose to see these characters as the only ones having any damn fun in any of these movies? To be clear: I love Cobra Commander and he owns a mid-century home in every ventricle of my gay heart.

He is the G.I. Joe Team 's original Marine and debuted in So there is at least one gay character in GI Joe. Why is this a discussion? Her face lit up. Would she still buy a ticket? Gung-Ho is a fictional character from the G.I.

Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books, and animated series. They fail every single time they try. Now, is Cobra really a terrorist organization determined to take over the world? And honey, that brings us to Cobra, the villains who served charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent throughout the G.

Joe franchise. This is who Pythona is: a badass bitch who cuts through solid steel doors with a razor-sharp and acid-tipped manicure and then flips and stunts her way through wave after wave of himbo security guards, all while serving straight-up reptilian puss.

Pythona is smart, cunning, deadly, and — most importantly — a body queen. The main offender is, of course, Cobra Commander, quite possibly the gayest villain in animated history. But when it comes to being fierce, to slaying the fashion game, to reading a bitch down beneath the ground, to just plain-ass serving cunt all across the globe?

Is this because straight society has historically viewed queerness as evil? It shouldn't be up to a toy company, or any company to introduce the topic to consumers. Because honey, Cobra is more than an animated global terrorist organization determined to take over the world.

Baroness is the G. That includes the always-overlooked brother Zandar, a ginger who is hella into body paint, and Zartan himself. Gay assignment.
