Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

*In the end, Snake Eyes learns the truth about his father’s murder—that it was a rigged dice throw by Augustine, a minion working for Cobra, who wanted to kill Snake’s father because he was a threat. Snake realizes that his initial belief about a hired assassin was wrong and recognizes Augustine’s true nature, choosing to spare him. This moment marks a turning point for Snake, shifting his focus from revenge to justice.

As the climax unfolds, Snake teams up with allies including Scarlett, Baroness, and Tommy to confront Kenta, who has become consumed with power after betraying Cobra to take control of the mystical Sun Jewel. Despite their efforts, Snake ultimately defeats Kenta by throwing him into a pit of ancient snakes, preventing him from wielding the jewel’s destructive power. The mystical jewel is returned to its secure place, but Tommy, feeling betrayed for being denied leadership and blaming Snake for Kenta’s death, leaves the clan to forge his own path.

In the final scenes, Scarlett reveals Snake’s true heritage—that his father was a former G.I. Joe agent who sacrificed himself to save many lives by infiltrating Cobra. Inspired by his father’s legacy, Snake is offered a chance to join G.I. Joe, which he considers but chooses to delay, still carrying unfinished business. The film closes with a post-credits scene that sets the stage for future conflicts: Tommy, now adopting the moniker Storm Shadow, joins Cobra as its new warrior, turning against Snake Eyes. This suggests that their rivalry will continue in further stories, with Tommy seeking vengeance and Snake Eyes striving for redemption.*
