Default Cobra Commanders voice.

I was just checking out Guiltridden pics about the Rogue BAT. When reading the Cobra C. dialog his raspy voice just pops into play. Im just wondering does this happen to anyone else? For me its only Cobra C. a voice I will never forget.

when i am writing speech for someone, of reading a dio or whatever, i always hear the voices from the old cartoon. for me they all fit so perfectly and will be hard for me to accept them any other way.

Yes, it does. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Somtimes I'll just make up a voice or accent, but I do that when I'm reading a book, too.

Yeah, when I'm reading anything, if there's an established voice for the character from some media, I hear it. Chris Latta as Cobra Commander fits so well into Larry Hama's scripts, too! It's like he wrote for that voice without realizing it!

And I'm like lehsreh-- I always try to make sure that what I write "sounds right" in the character's animated voice. This is especially easy for my favorites, like Duke and Optimus Prime. It gets harder for characters that I'm not necessarily that fond of.

That was one of the reasons I hated the Cartoon. Cobra Commander was reduced to a whiny spineless idiot. Destro sounded more like James Earl Jones than a Scottish
arms dealer. The only Voice I thought was fitting for the Cobra's was Zartans, with that strange echo.

I see Cobra Commander having a voice that is normal, but with a slow, deliberate tone. I could see the guy who played Dr. Doom on fantastic Four playing his voice.

Destro should DEFINITELY be voiced by Sean Connery or someone with that profound Scottish accent.

But, yes, when I'm thinking of Cobra Commander, I ALWAYS hear THAT voice in my head! And sometimes it makes me wanna pull my hair out.

i thought everyone, even those who didnt like the cartoon liked that voice. look at the first miniseries, there was someone else playing the voice and didnt pull it off at all. the voice did make him seem wimpy, but that is exactly what he was in the cartoon. as for destro, i thought his voice was the best bar none. i didnt know that he was, and still dont care that he is scottish. i mean a better voice, or more realism...

this makes me wonder if those who like and those who dont do so because of an age demographic. i was around 7 when i started watching them so i didnt think about evil and stuff. just that i loved it so much. i guess anyone around 12 or 14 would be influenced by peers at school and noticed things like tough guys and all. whereas for me, i was in a stage of bliss and believed in santa.

this also got me thinking of the new cartoon, id bet my whole joe collection that it doesnt have a impact anywhere like the one run. you have mature grown up who wont give anything that isnt deadly serious any thought, but on the other side you those who like me who enjoy fake things that give us a break from the harsh reality, and you have kids who watch cartoon who are still in their childhood bliss that dont want to, and/or their parents wouldnt let them watch something graphic and hard.

this being the case, i cannot wait to see it. but if it were on tv in the afternoon and i missed a few of them, i wouldnt care.
