Supreme Commander 2: Difference between revisions

* [[Brain In A Jar]]: Gustav Brackman. Also, humorously, Cybran experimental research building has a detachable giant brain that can be used to fight. Power of mind?

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Shiva is destroyed, the war is averted, Ivan is a well-respected leader in the alliance, Maddox was discharged but gets to be with his family, and Thalia... is arrested and doesn't even get the chance to see her brother before he dies.}}

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Ivan and Gustaf Brackman. Admittedly, Ivan may be describing things to his father that his father cannot see himself, but Gustaf has no such excuse.

{{quote| '''Ivan:''' It breathes fire.<br />

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: At the end of the second campaign, Thalia Kael realize that {{spoiler|Gauge tricked her into a lot of terrorist acts, by attacking a Cybran military convoy on a humanitarian supply run, releasing the Guardians who are more than just the worst criminals of the Illuminate and UEF, and destroying the Illuminate government research facility and in the end, allow Gauge obtain a lot of things.}}

* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: You have to research the technology that ''prevents'' your ACU from going off like a nuke under fire.

* [[Not So Different]]: William Gauge points out to Thalia that for all her ideals, she's actually a terrorist and has done more to hurt people than help. To hammer this point home, he nukes a city and says he couldn't have done it without her.

* [[Nuke'Em]]: Willam Gauge does it repeatedly. In fact, he once does so twice in the same mission, following up the second with this Oppenheimer quote:

* [[Reinventing the Wheel]]: One of the complaints leveled at ''[[Supreme Commander 2]]'' was that the research tree introduced this to a game that had previously been free of it. Your research must be redone every level.

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Villified]]: Subverted. Thalia Kael and her brother seem like quite decent people until they take a step back and realize what exactly they've been doing.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|Gauge, who survived the final mission, aids Brackman in transferring himself to a proto-brain.}}

** The campaign objectives are occasionally labelled with titles like [[The Wicker Man|Not The Bees!]]

** The UEF's [[We Have Reserves|Wasp]] [[Fragile Speedster|fighters]] look an awful lot like [[Star Wars|Jedi interceptors]].
