Yo Joe!!! What do you have in common with Mario?

Growing up in the eighties two of my pop cultural seedlings were G.I. Joe and Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. The former being an indoctrination of Americanization. The latter a Japanese video game that revived a struggling market. What do these two giants of my youth have in common? And more importantly, what does this imply? G.I. Joe was in constant battle with COBRA Command while Mario was always trying to save the Princess from the clutches of King Koopa (aka Bowser). Both are reptilian. Hmmm? Is this a theme?
I had an army of G.I. Joes that would have whooped whatever pussy ass militia you could ever have amassed. I was lost for hours in my own land of make believe. Where, I would often set bad guys up strategically around my bedroom in increasing threat level along my path to saving something/one from the bad guys. This protocol of adventure had many permutations, yet none were ever the same. The ad machine of Hasbro Toys also included video games, a television show, comics, and a movie. I would wake up as early as possible on Saturdays to watch the newest episode. Of course, the old ones aired daily on WGN, The Super Station. Every episode ended with the same shtick of instilling values on the eager minds gobbling it up. "And knowing is half the Battle". The movie revealed many origins of which if you wikipedia COBRA ORGANIZATION it explains the bad guys genesis as:

The Sunbow produced animated series did not explore how Cobra began. It was only in G.I. Joe: The Movie that it is revealed that the organization was a frontrunner for a 40,000 year-old underground civilization called Cobra-La, whose snake-like inhabitants were driven underground by the advent of humankind. Cobra Commander was, in actuality, a member of this underground race. He was tasked with creating an organization that would overrun the world at large.

A hidden ancient race of reptiles who are trying to over take the world. Sounds like another Saturday morning cartoon of that time...

The The Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Mario is a mushroom eating plumber who does constant battle against the giant reptile Bowser (aka King Koopa) who flies around in a space craft. The wikipedia on The Super Mario Bros. explain Bowser's (aka King Koopa) origins as:

The movie begins by establishing that a meteor struck Earth 65 million years ago in what is now Brooklyn, splitting the world into two parallel dimensions. The first dimension is the human world, inhabited by humans who evolved from apes, who in turn evolved from small mammals. The other dimension is inhabited by humanoid creatures who evolved from dinosaurs.


Once again Hollywood changes the storyline of a successful comic/video game to portray some sick motifs. I feel that this is not a coincidence. There are no such things. The reptilian agenda is not a new idea, but to feature them in children's stories is F'ed up. They are hidden here to sub consciously affect the minds of the future. I would speculate that most of the parents still to this day have no idea what sort of stories were really ingrained into their loved ones. I guess that the battle against the such forces is best fought by those who are aware of it an early age? I guess the more we know the better we will be prepared because knowing is half the battle!!!
