Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 17 Cutscene - Agnus Redux

[@immoralboi3158]

I absolutely adore the fact Agnus is going along with it. Other games show humanity in their villains through moments of grief or stress. DMC shows humanity in their villains by having moments where they can be just as goofy and childish as the main character.

[@zeppelincraft1443]

I think its the reason why Nico's mom thought Agnus was a fun person. When he gets in the mood, he suddenly becomes confident and doesn't stutter.

[@Prince_Xingqiu]

To be fair, he started it

[@peytonreed937]

Yeah, to be fair, I think Dante dropped the bombshell he was spardas son and Agnus was just like “uh… okay?”

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

You got it backwards my friend, Dante is doing this because he knows that Agnus has a stutter problem so he's speaking to him in a way he's comfortable with.

Agnus' story is kind of sad. He was a laughingstock in his corporate when he was trying to prove his theory of demonic power infusion. The CEO (boss of DMC2) stole his experiment and used it on himself and made Agnus jobless. This is why he wants the entire world to see his theory right and he needs a theatrical demonstration. The order basically manipulated him in joining them and also Fortuna was Agnus' hometown it was his only place to go back. If this was another life he would have been Dante's ally.

I love this scene wholeheartedly because of how it portrays Dante SO well. He's such a dork but at the same time such a lovable dork. He's so into the gag you can't help but smile and at the same time, his oozing confidence makes you still think he's so damn cool! He's so not afraid to make a fool out of himself it's COOL TO WATCH! Plus, the way he's TOYING with Agnus: he's so sure he got the situation under control he can't help but PLAY WITH THE ENEMY, like a cat playing with his food. Dante's so cool. DMC4 has the best Dante, IMO.

[@pepekovallin]

Yeah, Dante feels like he's always in control of the situation, that's why he doesn't have many options when it comes to preparation, he improvises on the fly, unlike Nero were you would probably charge your shot and rev red queen before entering combat

[@leonardocouto3109]

@@pepekovallin Nero also has his moments of laid-back scorn, though. Your point does stand ground, still: what Dante can do without any effort, Nero has to actually prepare himself for and struggle a good bunch. Dante giving his all isn't Nero giving his all. However, there are moments in which Dante does take a more cautious position, his 1st fight with Urizen being the best example. I mean, have you ever seen Dante purposefully enter Devil Trigger in cutscenes? That was the very first time and shows he's giving all that he's got, since DT unleashes his power at full throttle.

I find it very interesting that they stick to actual rules of theater throughout most of it. They actually never expose their back to the audience part of the level

[@Ctrekoz]

Honestly, despite evil shit, Agnus was amazing, and theatre cutscene just skyrocketed his likeabilty points. His design has so much unique points, so damn charismatic. Like his stutter, exremely buff build for a nerd, skin color, the way his personality can shift from a nerd, to a coward, to someone concerned and obedient (with Sanctus), to a truly menacing villain (mostly from voice, but also remember how easily he stopped Nero's swing after Containment Room fight?). Lots of temperament! Big praise to the voice actor, TJ Storm, and I suppose devs took him as a body model too - look at the build of that man damn, Agnus is freaking packin'... Both ugly and hot, lol. Shame he worked for the bad guys, but you can't deny that he was a true genius, and his biggest interest was science. Like pretty much every supernatural thing (and some natural like swords) the Order of the Sword has is the work of Agnus, there's so much INCREDIBLE stuff he's done, and even Nero's sword is his work, how ironic. Or what about Ascension Ceremony for example? What about time-manipulation devices? Hell Gates? All these artificial demons? Freaking laser barriers? It's mindblowing honestly, Agnus is op in terms of scientific intelligence (well to be *completely honest* many of this is for the sake of a varied gameplay, it's simplier to not explain too much and just say "It's all Agnus", but still). Apparently even knight's uniform is designed by him, though no good source? I get why he liked to feel powerful, but doesn't seems like his main goal was to be a ruler of the world or whatever. His death is a shame, he was fun and interesting, but yeah, a villain. I mean dying after providing one of the very best cutcenes in the game, also in such a beautiful way (the note falling on his face, gasping and turning his head slightly, no gore involved as well) - a good deal for him. Credo's death on the other hand (beautiful but meaningless and undeserved)... Well, at least Agnus has a daughter who inherited a lot of his traits (not "evil coward" ones, thankfully). And his music theme is amazing. Annoying boss fight tho, at least it's a good looking and funny spectacle (I mean the way he fights, not the cutscene with Dante :D, it's amazing as well, one of the very best in the game). Summoner boss concept is interesting but yes, annoying.

....DmC wasn't a reboot, and the legacy it was "supposed" to be continuing on wasn't exactly much to write home about and seems to be known more for memes, mood whiplash, and having a bad sequel in between the first and third game.

[@lozm4835]

If DmC wasn't a reboot, they could've done what they originally wanted to do, instead of having to jam Dante into their new character and making Donte. Then he could have been something better than Donte. Cliche and overly edgy perhaps, but better.

[@SuperSonieroxa]

Reporting from 2019. Dmc 5 delivered the goods

[@Meydra]

I couldn't help but laugh at this. They really caught me of guard with this one. Well done.

[@Anakin_Youngling_Slayer]

The first time I played DMC:4 after the first three DMC I saw this and and the end of this scene, I was clapping my hands as if I was in a theater.

[@SUPER-RIFT]

Truly the best cutscene.

[@FutanariSunshine]

Dante is the greatest protagonist of all time, even if he was second banana for a large part of the game >>; Thanks for uploading a great quality version of this, koukoupuffs ;]

[@mikazukisparda911]

They need to make a random flashback scene between vergil and dante... Vergil: bet u can't do this... Dante: bet u I can, here hold my beer and watch this... 2 min later... Vergil: damn it dante did u have to break yer leg while u were at it? Dante: shut up verge it'll heal in a sec now gimmie my beer back... And yes I know I spelled stuff wrong that was the point

[@ragingsaviorkami9862]

"Shut up verge" I can hear that in a robotic google translate voice, as a part of a parody series Devil may not cry or something like that, similar to "The Walking Alive" and "Breaking Good"

[@dr.bishop8915]

I like to imagine that one of the weapons in pandora is a confetti cannon which is where Dante got it

[@XJS-oz9mw]

*Poetic Demons* I wish for that in Devil May Cry 5 Edit: I'm so using this scene as an inspiration to create my high school drama script (Thank you Divine Comedy and Resident Evil for being the theme sources of this series)

[@phanboy8059]

I wish you luck man.

[@XJS-oz9mw]

@@phanboy8059 Thank you, and my god it actually worked in Drama class! This game series is a highly recommended inspiration

[@phanboy8059]

@@XJS-oz9mw It was a succes? Congratulations. ^^

[@Zhuravliov]

This one cutscene fucks all new DMC.

[@mrpresedin3534]

0:50 the peak of opera that humanity ever achieve

[@CoralCopperHead]

Li Mei: "By Argus, who are you people?!" Nico: "Ah'm sorry, by *_whonow?!"_*

[@TheKingOfNachosTM]

God I love how this is my first exposure to the series

[@Dualblades47]

This is peak Dante.

[@thaitoan4760]

I’m so glad to see the Poetic part of Sparda in Dante

[@pileoweirdness]

I kept seeing this scene without subtitles and I couldn't hear the lines over the music, and now that I know what they're saying it makes the scene even better I have no idea how anyone would enjoy this without subtitles

[@Teknanam]

I can hear it just fine without looking at the screen. Maybe its just you?

[@pileoweirdness]

@@Teknanam maybe, but it still felt like that thing that happens with movies where the dialog is a whisper compared to the music shaking the walls

[@Sckarton]

And at this moment Nico became Dante fangirl.

[@jimhuffman9434]

I wonder if she actually saw a recording of this

[@Luxai]

"It takes a journey to hell for them to accept and praise their God" Yeah well, religion was born out of control, and people follow it out of desperation.

[@darkwhisper6714]

Agnus was killed by a gun wich was created by his own mother... And later, his own daughter actually love to hear that. A fact... that tickles irony's judgment...

[@JasonDevil06]

When I first saw this cutscene I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?! but I knew I liked it

[@stuckerfan2563]

Who came here after playing dmc 5

[@Gustavozxd13]

Anyone saying the faust hat scene is dumb, forgot about this or haven't even seen it

[@truck_0097]

Yup, bet they haven't played this game or the one before, since Dante has been always do something silly/cheesy things like this.

[@masatohiroki]

The part where Dante says For Power!? Got me

[@inticalik]

Is it my imagination, or does Agnus sound like he hollowfied at 1:25? Bleach fans will know what I mean by that

[@dinorex3464]

Damn, it's true. The voice is incredibly similar to the filter the Hollow Mask has.

[@liomurasaki]

Well, he kinda look like an Adjuchas to me

[@leon2550]

i'd be laughing at this cutscene, but i'm too distracted by all this HAM!

[@Hug0Pro]

Probably one of the best scenes!

[@dilfasriel6354]

I literally search: dmc 4 best curscene and this appeared

[@haldosprime3896]

This is the dumbest thing they could have put in a stylish action game and Dante and Agnus are major dorks. It’s perfect.

[@e.j5813]

Dante: “alright nerd, let’s fight!” Agnus: “bring it… but first a poetry slam” Dante: “don’t know why you bring that up but your on!

[@darkfent]

...metal, opera...and moonwalk?

[@tracyndiyob162]

if dante makes it into super smash bros. would absolutely love in the story mode to the final boss him,sonic & especially bayonetta(doing a goofy badass tango with dante/both posing and shooting the boss as it's trying to attack.:3) having a adoring moment like this.
