J Jonah Jameson, in an alternate universe where he pays Peter in advance.

My man literally removed his strategic advantage because he had an existential crisis.

I can't believe how E.A was able to get so many award winning actors into a video game with cutscenes that, without context, appears to be for an adult film

[johntrevy]

Scientist:"We have developed a time machine."
President: *LAUGHS* "You serious?"

[Commanderziff]

He accepted this 'time travel is real, and is the only reason the Japanese Empire exists' thing awfully quickly.

[HailAnts]

If it didn't say that this was a cutscene from a video game I'd have thought it was a scene from some great goofy comedic short film. JK Simmons as a crazy robot President? Hell yes!

I love how this Red Alert had an insane plotline with an amazing cast

[alexdault]

The plot twists that occur in this two-minute scene are insane. "Time travel is real." "What?! No! Divine Destiny is phony!" *unplugs a wire that reveals the President of the United States is an android, which no one even comments upon* "Russia and America teamed up and are attacking us!" "You are SHOGUN now!"

[Schlabbeflicker]

Using an A-list cast to act out a batshit script like this was an absolute master-level move.

I love the fact, that Peter Stormare, who is a swedish guy, plays Russians even in video games.
For those who don´t know: he´s known to always play some villainous Russians in movies, he even makes fun of it.
"My agent calls me up."
"Hey Peter, we got a role for you, Russian gangster."
"But I´m Swedish..."
"Eh... close enough."
"And that´s how I end up, playing always some Russian mobsters." 😆

When you think about it, its a really interesting concept that an empire built on the idea of divine destiny finds out that it exists on a fluke, that it could cease to exist on just as much of a fluke. George Takei's system of belief is shattered in that very instant

[SharpDesign]

"The empire never would have existed?"


The dialogue is all destroying me.

JK Simmons has literally won an academy award. Amazing he is in this with all these other actors.

[LexiBomb]

The star power in a game like this. With green screens and over the top acting

Those were the days!!

[Playitdeath]

“Well I’m out of ideas this your problem now son” Father of the year 😂

[joshuagraham]

the saddest part of this scene is that the emperor of rising sun
has depression, everything is a lie
they never existed from the start and wanted to commit seppuku
there’s no honor and meaningless
it’s sad when you see him he’s in a state of shock and depression
the black and white scene represents of defeat

[yuuyakizami]

The Imperial campaign is my favorite story despite the challenging missions. It kinda felt rewarding after we destroy the time machine so that it will never be used to change history ever again.

[rwilson]

Every time I hear JK Simmons I think of combustible lemon line from portal 2

[V-ib]

Lmao Red Alert 3 had the goofiest cutscenes I love it

[WeirdVideoGames]

Went from hearing one guy claim time travel is real to declaring his entire life a lie in 30 seconds.
