Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Jonathan Irons (All cutscenes)

Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=4177227
This video depitcs all cutscenes and audio recordings with Jonathan Irons, the main antagonist in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and is played by Kevin Spacey.
After the death of his son Will Irons, Jonathan Irons had become obsessed with power and vengeance against anyone who he blames or anyone who stands in his way, including the governments that hired his company. Irons' menacing nature is further seen when he executed a man and let thousands of people to die for personal gain and in order to improve Atlas' public image. He defended these acts by stating that he sacrificed those innocent people. Even in his last moments, Irons felt no remorse for the innocent deaths and died a power-hungry madman who believed he could solve the world's problems, and that he could save mankind from inevitable destruction.

I kind of share his mentality. I live in a third world country, and i have seen first hand the ineptitude of the government of my country to solve problems such as violence and poverty for over 3/4 of a century by now. If there would be someone here as determined as him to solve all the problems of my country, with *his* power, i would ally with him inmediately. I dont really agree with the details of this mentality, especially with the part of being obssesed with controlling everything, or with that of that the costs will always outweigh the results, wich is not always true. But i agree with the idea of that governments should be more efficient and organized.

Some of the most successful military campaigns succeeded simply because no one ever imagined it was possible. Probably the best line in the entire game out of the intelligence scenes because its 100% correct. Case in point, Germany's attack on France in 1940. The British and French anticipated the Germans to attack in the same fashion as they did during World War I: An advance via Belgium and Holland. What they didn't anticipate was that the Germans would attack using massed armor as the spearhead of the assault through an area that they believed was impassible for tanks to move through (The Ardennes forest). As a result, it led to a large encirclement of Allied forces in Belgium & Northern France in less than two weeks and the fall of France four weeks later.

[@ponraul1221]

I’m a libertarian too, but his plan and actions make no sense financially speaking. Atlas is still a corporation which needs customers, and killing millions of your customers doesn’t seem like something that would help with your brand reputation. It would bring down everything he’s built, even if his goal was no longer profit. He ended the government’s monopoly on force and got paid handsomely for doing so, so his actions are completely illogical. Atlas became a reliable option when your own government failed. But I don’t think anyone wants to publish a story where a corporation is actually the good guy.

@@victuz I never said they couldn't be corrupt. But in a free market where government doesn't pick favorites, there is competition which incentivizes value and accountability. If a company was being corrupt, commiting fraud, etc., people would be able to vote with their wallets and choose a better competitor. But of course, the responsibility lies with the people making good choices. Whether that is actually voting at the ballot box or not paying for worse and worse products (like modern AAA gaming).

+Appleorgasm But one massive point that you missed out. One massive thing you did not see because you're too stubborn to look further than your own ideals. IT WORKS. it works for a lot of people. A lot of people enjoy this game, alot of people like this game for exactly what it is, a shooter, a cod. And I am one of those people. Of course, people like you are always going to complain. And people like me... are always going to just enjoy what I like, and understand that an opinion is always just an opinion, and at the end of the day this is a game that I really enjoyed and would not like it any other way.

[@xTruncz]

+DatEraa Buddy this game delivered, and delivered well. You tell me, what areas did it "fall flat" in? Because as far as i'm concerned, it's a great game, infact one of the best COD's there is.

[@jkuo1991]

When I first time saw the trailer of this game I was so surprised (and still am) Kevin Spacy was in this game and not just the voice. I love this CoD game particularly because of his acting!

[@liamhawke6012]

Irons is my favourite cod villain ever such great acting to the point when he compliments and takes William under his wing at the start of the game it makes me feel like I am William there myself no other game has made me feel that involved in a story to date

On a philosophical and practical level, I agree with Irons. On a moral level, I do not and cannot.

[@alfredwang7607]

Advanced Warfare is a missed opportunity as a result of a stupid plot twist...The concept that a company becomes part of UN is refreshing and this idea should be explored...Even if they wants a plot twist, they can have a double plot twist. For example it is other countries that turned Mitchell against Irons...

[@Dr.Oofers]

Alfred Wang To be honest, then say that advanced warfare could have focused more on the war with North Korea or China since it would be a relevant conflict.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

I do wish we had a better script for this campaign. Iron's ideals and why he does what he does reminds me a lot of Senator Armstrong, although Irons isn't nearly as well remembered. Basically, they're both right, regarding what they are saying, it's their methods that you disagree with. If only the game tried to actually got you thinking instead of just the usual black-and-white, good vs bad storyline.

[@kangofoctopia8056]

Irons tortured the protag just cause. He shot Cormack and left him to bleed when shooting him in the head is more effective, less risky and honestly more humane. The guy isn't interested in fixing the world. That's what he may claim, and even what he may believe, but it isn't the case. He's simply a sadistic fuck who wants to be the top dog in the world. When your "solution" requires the death of thousands, you should rethink your tactics. I'm tired of people supporting this guy. Yes, he has a point, but that doesn't make him the hero dammit.

[@rusher2937]

Does anybody think irons was doing the right thing? I agree with what says and intentions but the way he does it is evil.

It's called a Well-Intentioned Extremist. He has good intentions but ends up blinding by his own evil tendencies and delusions of hatred and power because of the death of his son. If he avoided stepping on so many toes or had more tact, things would have gone his way completely, but he had to be a bastard.

24:35, those two statues (not captured in full view in cut-scene) are similar to those guarding the gate in Persepolis, ancient Persia, symbolizing the"King of all Nations". Although a bit odd comparing to the surrounding building style, they show what exactly Irons really want to be...
