Overview
After yet another defeat inflicted by G.I. Joe, the immediate subordinates of Cobra's leader, Cobra Commander, have finally come to the end of their patience with his apparent incompetence and his inability to achieve real victories. The leader of the research and interrogations wing, Dr. Mindbender, receives a dream showing the solution. His plan is to collect the genetic material of great warriors and military leaders to create a composite clone that would be the perfect leader for Cobra. Now they set out to put this scheme into motion, and G.I. Joe has very little time to learn of this plot before Cobra becomes that much more a dire threat to the world.

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative champions a strong, patriotic military force as the primary solution to an external, authoritarian threat, aligning with conservative themes of national security and military strength.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast of characters, which is consistent with the established G.I. Joe franchise. The narrative maintains a traditional framing, portraying heroes positively and villains based on their actions rather than critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
G.I. Joe: Arise, Serpentor, Arise!, an animated miniseries from the 1980s, does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the conflict between G.I. Joe and Cobra, with no elements related to queer identity present in its storyline or character development, resulting in no discernible impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This animated film is part of the original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero continuity. It introduces new characters but maintains the established genders of all existing G.I. Joe and Cobra characters from the source material and prior installments.
This 1986 animated film features established G.I. Joe characters whose on-screen racial depictions are consistent with their canonical portrayals in the 'A Real American Hero' continuity. No character's race was altered from prior source material.
