Editing Kane (section)

==Tiberium Twilight==
[[Command and Conquer]] 4 sees a new side of Kane. Kane is a lot like that swell guy [[Kharn]], having a deeper prophetic and well-meaning side that is rarely revealed when he's leading the Brotherhood in global conquest to prepare for his ascension. The fact that he takes his loyal followers with him when he ascends (and wipes Earth clean of Tiberium, and shows regret for not being able to save the player character) probably testifies to the fact that had there been other ways to achieve his goals without killing so many eco-friendly GDI mind-slaves, he probably would have chosen the preferable alternative. <strike>But then there would be no C&C games, and to be fair, it contradicts the side of him Westwood and EA had spent the previous fifteen years, real-time, building up.</strike> Any player that followed the entire storyline would realize that Kane is simply a pragmatic anti-villain. And completely deciphering the Tacitus, the [[STC]] of Scrin, simply gave him the way for his 25000 year cause without hurting anyone else, negating the need for Abrahamic-addled colonialism era losers who get their kicks slaughtering western people. (A fact he openly admits in the last shitpile of a game) He might look callous, but has a very kind side as well.

But, Electronic Arts produced Command and Conquer 4, and like usual, they screwed the pooch, so take it all with a grain of salt. Both drama-wise, and gameplay wise. From C&C 3's incredibly colored battle scenes where rockets and explosions rocked the screen and tore off chunks from buildings we could build cities with, we now have a few retarded blocky tanks firing a thousand times at each other before expiring miserably, shat out from a single mobile base. [[RAGE|Fuck you EA, fuck you with a rusty rake!]].

Like, say, they retconned his mysterious, quasi-biblical origin with a poor Ancient-Aliens background where he was a fucking alien. Stupid, stupid, stupid.  Though to be fair, the mystery around Kane that had built up over fifteen years had gotten to the point where there was no possible revelation you could make about his origins that wouldn't disappoint much of the fanbase with as many hints to him being extraterrestrial as there were to him being supernatural, all meant to fuel further speculation. Which of course means it would have been better to keep his origins mysterious to begin with. Joe Kucan himself revealed in an interview that Kane is an ancient alien banished to earth over a murder case, namely, his brother of course.
