I think it's because he has so much more personality, whereas Cobra Commander can often times feel like a caricature.<br /><br />Yeah, his "honor" was really overblown, but in my opinion, it's more an issue with the comics. It seemed like at a certain point Hama was really reaching to make all of the villains more sympathetic, and I really hate that. It might be okay for one or two, but trying to show the decent side of characters like Destro and especially Zartan, doesn't work for me. In my head, those two have no redemption.Nekomanhttp://viperpit.xyz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-46626164054780720212022-01-18T14:52:20.643-07:002022-01-18T14:52:20.643-07:00That is what childhood is about.That is what childhood is about.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687598095797897870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-76917919179331408122022-01-18T08:49:42.853-07:002022-01-18T08:49:42.853-07:00I don't think any heads of Weapon Supply compa...I don't think any heads of Weapon Supply companies are naive as to where the stuff ends up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-39430500917913764852022-01-17T12:59:28.240-07:002022-01-17T12:59:28.240-07:00Destro is an actual Italian surname.

He's doing evil things but thinks he's still in the "right". It's brilliant. And totally unintentional by Hasbro (Hasbro actually named DESTRO, not Larry Hama). <br /><br />I don't think the head(s) of most US arms makers would consider themselves evil. But they, as far as I know, don't intentionally sell to terrorists, extremists or revolutionaries. But then you get the middle man, the US government/agencies...supplying weapons to shady people. It's the Tony Stark in IRON MAN thing, not realizing where his weapons are ending up. Oh, heck, is Destro really IRON MONGER with just the helmet?A-Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-64208708232474506582022-01-15T17:01:59.508-07:002022-01-15T17:01:59.508-07:009-year-old me had a very deep conversation with my...9-year-old me had a very deep conversation with my best friend:<br /><br />- "Do you know why they call him Destro?"<br />-- "No, why?"<br />- "What happens when you add a 'Y' to the end of his name?"<br />-- "Umm... ?"
