Baroness is one of my top favorite characters. i have to admit that i enjoy the Cobra characters more than the Joes. The voices of Cobra Commander, Destro and Baroness crack me up. i always enjoy their screen time.

What I remember most about The Baroness, she would be talking in a normal voice (for The Baroness) and then end the sentence in a yell, kinda like my mom did. "I'm not going to tell you again, TAKE OUT THE TRAAASH!!!!" "You have five minutes BEFORE YOU MISS THE BUS, GET DRESSED!!!!!" Baroness was either in sultry voice mode, or angry as f*** mode. Not even Harley Quinn (Batman Animated series) can compare to how unique and well done The Baroness's voice was. Thanks for sharing this gem!

That may sound good on paper unfortunately some of the original cast members have retired and dome’s voices have just changed a lot due to age. So many may not fit their character anymore, and goes without saying there’s only been one good G I Joe movie and the rest sucked.

I grew up at a time, when they treated cartoons as if only 4 year olds were watching them, like Superfriends for example! Back then, you had a narrator, you had characters like Wendy , Marvin and Wonderdog,..which was a dog with no powers, and the dog wore a cape! (Totally unless characters)! Nor were they ever funny! Then finally, came shows like G.I. Joe and Transformers! For once, the voice cast got real! They didn't sound like they were just reading lines! Take for example, the scene of Duke trying to remember the Cobra location, and all the G.I. Joe guys see the slave girl on screen, (then you hear the guys...oh and ahh, ..man, how could you forget a face like that)?! That's real, relatable lines, that guys watching at home can relate too! The Baroness, also had a sexy vibe! It was a great era, and they finally didn't treat us, like we were 4 years old!

@BestowTV 3 жыл бұрын

I can agree with this. Even more so with (some) modern cartoon where they tackle more adult subject matter. I loved the Renagades reboot (I caught it years later and it wasn't on my radar until we interviewed Jeff Kline). It was a more adult take on the Joes, but still relatable to kids as well.

@@BestowTV For me, the original G.I. Joe was the best! The ones that came after, just didn't work for me! Then to make matters worse, ...to get all excited over a wish come true (or so I thought)...we finally get a live Transformer and G.I. Joe movie...only to find out, their nothing like the cartoon ever was! When I saw the G.I. Joe movie, the only thing that excited me, was seeing a parked Cobra Raven outside of a mountain! It was the only thing besides Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow that seemed to match what was from the cartoon! And Transformers.... aren't even recognizable!...But that's because I'm old school!

Where the animators taking visual cues from the voice actors? Because a lot of them vaguely look like their characters. Its a little creepy actually. If you look at the guy who played flint and also Lady Jay, they also vaguely look like their characters. I honestly believe the animators were adding some of the voice talents characteristics to the animations. Either via photographs or something.

@BestowTV 4 жыл бұрын

Hard to say. The art for the comic and toy line most likely existed before the cartoon rolled out. So in this instance it may not be true.

@serigraph73 3 жыл бұрын

i would say no. Russ Heath did character sketches and then actors were cast. Really, the only character that vaguely looks like the actor is Lady Jaye. None of the other actors look anything like their characters.
