I like how Dr. Nefarious enjoys his time as emperor until the actual Emperor shows up, and it quickly turns into an abusive relationship where he realizes that he never truly won and that he can't let someone else steal all of his conquests
Victory without effort and accomplishments is meaningless. It's like playing a video game and you just skip to the ending that says "you win. Thanks for playing." I think Doctor Nefarious learned a lesson. He cannot take shortcuts when it comes to victory. He has to accomplish it on his own. (mostly)
I like Emperor Nefarious’ introduction. It quickly get you up to speed on how needlessly evil this man is, and how much he rebels in it. Instead of being frustrated that Rivet won against his doppelgänger, instead presents a backhanded compliment about how this is the first time she’s won against him. Then he proceeds to effortlessly shove her to the ground after banishing (and presumably killing) several innocent bystanders just for celebrating. Now that’s how you quickly establish this version of nefarious is more evil than the one we already know.
It’s amazing that Doctor Nefarious somehow managed to fix both the recurring Janice and Lance glitch, and the scar he got from Ratchet in A Crack in Time.
@@DrHundTF2 But if you pay attention to the enemy chatter when Doctor Nefarious appeared on hologram, the doctor is seen bemoaning that Lawrence is away on paid paternity leave. And if you pay attention to the credits, Lawrence and his wife are seen cradling their robot baby son.
I think he does have the scar still, but holy cow it is tiny looking if it is the scar. Either it is an artistic choice, he got it repaired, or robots in Ratchet & Clank passively repair over time like how humans heal slowly over time.
Yup and the song in the secret ending should TOTALLY be animated in SFM using the red medic as the Emperor, with blu medic being the doctor counterpart.
@@foodmr2022 he’s a great balance of being threatening, but also eccentric, over-the-top and charismatic, not to mention that he manages to get the upper hand at just about every turn.
@@Mizra-dq3lj The reboot one reappeared in the Life of Pie short actually which will be a pilot to a whole TV series that will technically serve as a sequel to the movie
@@Mizra-dq3lj yes, rifts apart is a continuation of crack in time and into the Nexus. They seem to be leaving reboot continuity to the movies/tv show since the game tie in wasn’t all that liked by fans compared to the movie’s success. Honestly it being told by Captain Quark told me that it meant nothing to game continuity
@@lexcelius6921 I thought it was obvious. I mean the reboot had no Dimensionator and into the nexus ends with a broken Dimensionator in which ends off with clank grabbing it by the end.
I thought the same thing too. A goofy, laughably evil mad scientist with the title of Dr. uses a device with Dimension(-in)ator in its name, and takes the heroes to a parallel dimension where he has a much more successful counterpart who is a ruthless dictator. They both team up, and then the other dimension counterpart decides to invade the heroes’ dimension, and then betrays his prime counterpart.
They got Robin Atkin Downes to voice Emperor Nefarious which is awesome. He also voiced Captain Slag in Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, and A Crack in Time.
It's also worth noting that Emperor Nefarious's assistant is also a very competent and dangerous villain, and was only stopped cause she got fired. She was genuinely doing everything she could to stop Rivet
I'm Not Gonna Lie The Voice Actor Of The Medic From TF2 Who Played As Emperor Nefarious is Really Amazing! Also Armin Shimerman The Voice Of Dr Nefarious is Still My Favourite Villain Character
@@afabulousskylandersspyro5462 Emperor Nefarious is kind look like metallix in Orange lights & his armor looks good & he have jet Booster & introduction flight
I think it’s nice to see the good doctor again. I was kinda expecting the next game would have Nefarious actually turn good for real since All-4 One’s ending hinted the idea of him turning good again. But at least Nefarious actually dose redeems himself in the end so I hope they would revisit that idea.
More from villain, to anti-hero, to hero. All it took was to see that his other counterparts are also totally unable to defeat Ratchet, to have a peace of mind.
@@lexcelius6921 It reminds me of All Dogs go to Heaven 2 where Killer doesn't appear cuz Carnage is the henchman of the new villain Red thus taking his place

We Americans have equated happiness with success, usually going hand in hand with wealth and opulence. And even when we’ve achieved our dreams come true, life itself is suddenly meaningless to us.
Ive got some interesting questions for emperor nefarious like, how is he a robot without meeting, qwark/quantum before, wheres his glitch(the docs missing it to) and if the original survived an exploding station, can he survive a kraken?
@@maximusthewolfreborn2118 You do know that you can still edit your comment about your other comments on this video even more right? And yes, that’s why we are going to wait for Emperor Tachyon to return his new revenge on Ratchet and Clank who are responsible for the defeat of the Cragmites.

Even though he's only appeared in one game the Emperor is already a great and memorable villain
Agreed
Not as much as doctor nefarious.
When I first saw him actually got chills lol.
The same way that Captain Quantum proved himself a better hero than Qwark ever was or ever would be
@@leander2843 difference is that docror was good before he became bad and emperor was bad from the start

He has really damn good voice, glad to still hear his iconic voice after all these years
But this type he doesn't steal any soul or skeleton
@@arrigo9828 You don't know that. For all we know Emperor Nefarious has done that multiple times in the past pre Rift Apart events.
Also Captain Slag in tools of destruction and quest for booty
Is it just me or is Emperor Nefarious’s entrance in his first appearance epic af?
1st saw him in the game and I felt extreme pressure just by looking at him a true threat if you will

21:26 Dr nefarious is being positive and right
21:36 Emperor Nefarious is being negative and in denial
21:36 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aaah
23:59 I like how Emperor Nefarious shows appreciation to Dr. Nefarious for saving him by keeping him around.
Yet he continues to abuse him
I don't really see appreciation there....
"Appreciation", heh…
I like how this is just the plot of the Phineas and Ferb movie
Dr. Nefarious: I still don’t get it, if we’re the same person, why are you so much better at being a villain than me?

You also forgot Dr. Croid from All 4 One. Also voiced a bunch of other characters in some Naughty Dog games.
And Medic tf2

Why did you Caps every single word...?
Splatoon player moment
It would’ve been so much more satisfying if the doctor’s last words to the emperor were “sure stinks to lose, doesn’t it?”
Fun fact: Emperor Nefarious is voiced by the same person who voices Team Fortress 2's Medic.
Nefarious hit his comedy peak in A Crack in Time. That's why he's at "okay" levels of funny in this game.
I’d like to beg to differ, he’s pretty funny in this game and in life of pie.
@@lenarmangum6401 I didn't say he's not funny. He wouldn't be a proper Doc N if he weren't funny. I mean he's not as funny.
Granted, it's hard to compete against Crack In Time. I don't even know if this is better than it despite this game being so damn good
Dr. Nefarious = Dr. Wily
Emperor Nefarious = Dr. Weil
What's funny is that Emperor Nefarious and Dr. Weil have the exact same white and orange color scheme
Another comparison
Dr. Nefarious = Sonic Team Eggman
Emperor Nefarious = Ian Flynn Eggman.
It's amazing how he managed to make the phrase always bring a map menacing
Emporor nefarious is definitely the top
Dr. Nefarious is definitely the bottom.
Just not by choice 😬

those nefarious drawing scenes remind me of shrek forever, especially when he puts the flames in those
Got to admit emperor nefarious was a mean mother f*****
29:07 and so Dr Nefarious defeated a villain and became a good hero
More from villain, to anti-hero, to hero. All it took was to see that his other counterparts are also totally unable to defeat Ratchet, to have a peace of mind.
That's sad, Lawrence isn't here :(

Because now Doctor Nefarious gets to fill Lawrence’s role

Dr nefarious deserves a win
28:57 - 29:10
"Scar! Brother! Help me!"
"Long Live The King."
Is it wrong to kinda hope that Emperor Nefarious makes an epic come back?
I’ve got my fingers crossed, that voice was like SILK, I haven’t stopped rewatching “Join me at the Top,” since finishing the game a few days ago.
Well, he's out of the universe where he always losses meaning that he's allowed to win again.
Well, we don't see a body, so the rule of knowing death hasn't been applied yet. For all we know, he's alive.
Nefarious at 8:12 : "Chale, ya la cagué, ¿verdad?"

Amazing the villain with a posh/British accent is more successful
can't find their character models anywhere i guess i'll have to scrub this video for references
