Evil Genius 2: World Domination has you take control of one of four maniacal megalomaniacs on a mission for global conquest. Build your lair, manage your minions, take on the forces of justice, hoard the world's treasures and dominate the globe.
This video was sponsored by Rebellion so a huge thank you to them for making this possible. 2004's original Evil Genius was a huge part of my childhood and I've been incredibly excited for this long awaited sequel ever since it was announced. So I am thrilled that Rebellion reached out to me to help them promote the game. I've been lucky enough to have been able to play the game for the past couple of weeks ahead of release and I am having a blast. So I hope some of you might like to have a go at conquering the world for yourselves. If you're interested please click my link above! It really helps!
This video was a huge project for me, the most ambitious video I've ever put together (so far!) and I had such fun making it. A massive thank you to everyone on the team who came together to make this project the best it could be from the folks on set, the extras and builders to the folks who helped with the editing and graphics, you're all fantastic!
(To anyone worried, social distancing was in place on set and the rare points in the video where people were near each other were achieved via camera trickery!)
Lots more BIG project in the pipeline! But in the meantime have fun toppling governments and shrining national monuments to decorate your office with. ;)

LYRICS:
VERSE 01:
Tune in to your favourite station
Peruse any news publication
See the state of the states and nations
Corporations, inflation, invasions,
Well, I say that they could take some
Intercontinental consolidation
One flag emblazoned with my face on
And I don’t plan on an application
Introducing villainy squared
Just your standard reclusive trillionaire
With a maniacal air and a violent flare
Vibrant tyrant enshrined in a stylish chair
You can find me there on my island lair
Where the sirens blare as I stride in striking fear
With the slightest glare, I’m not fighting fair
Step aside for the frightful heir
So you’d better get to polishing your white flags
I’ve a plethora of monuments to hijack
Shrink the senate, use the columns as a spice rack
And enveloping the commons in a flytrap
Minions all over my map
Turn your dominion into a nice back-
Yard for my kingdom, your income might lapse, you might have
To squint at the print on the ransom price tag
SPOKEN INTERLUDE:
You know, I’ve just realised. This dotted line around the globe is supposed to be the equator…
I always thought of it as more of a ‘cut here’.
CHORUS 01:
If all the world’s a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it’s cliché
But I say it’s an art
Every deck needs a knave
To come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it’s mine to tear apart
One button’s all it takes
To set the earth a-quaking
Or is the world afraid
And the planet started shaking?
You’d need tectonic plates
To serve the schemes I’m baking
And the menu for today
Is some world domination
VERSE 02:
I’m the meanest genius scheme unfurler
Genus steeped in burglars, murderers
Fiend Weekly’s champ moustache twirler
I cheated. I used curlers.
Yes my amusements bamboozle
A glamorous ruse to confuse all
Your plans to tamper and snoop,
You’re delusional
Can’t see no scheme whilst you’re schmoozing my valets
Casino screen obscures my base
So if you don’t want a day to rue let’s
Just play some roulette, forget the backstage
But if you do sleuth through to my sanctum
I’ve a few new tools here to have fun
Like a tank full of man-eating plankton
Or a smooth henchman with a handgun
So whilst I’m busy dislodging Norway
You’ll spend all day dodging my sawblades
Raising my pinball scoresheet
Freak in the broadsheets, Rube Goldberg in the hallways
Stay between the laser beams
You still won’t make it face-to-face with me
Your agency just paid you to take
A vacation in my interrogation seat
One wrong step in my bullion vaults
And you’re gonna be met with a billion volts
But if you do pocket any ill-gotten profits
Then I’ll dock it via rocket from the minion at fault
My management skills are uniquely stirring
When lacking in diligent measly servants
Having one killed with the team observing
Works magic on building the weak’s subservience
SPOKEN INTERLUDE:
See, I think I’d make a perfect leader. I’m very hands-on.
And by that, I mean my hand’s on this big red button that may or may not do something terrible to the moon’s gravity.
Don’t worry, I’ll write you a lovely orbit-uary.
CHORUS 02:
If all the world’s a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it’s cliché
But I say it’s an art
Every deck needs a knave
To come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it’s mine to tear apart
You secretly live below
My laser-mounted space station
You may need to think it over
But if I get bored of waiting
I’ll be beaming tic-tac-toe
Between the borders of your nations
Want to keep the Swiss Plateau?
Then give me world domination
VERSE 03:
I’ve minions poised and entrapped informers
Villains exploiting the map’s four corners
Off to deploy my outlandish orders
Warrants are void. International waters.
If I steal her bling, do I have to wait
For the Queen of England to abdicate?
Shrink rays are aimed so why raze the place?
Turn your famed locations to paperweights
Now your monument’s stored in a portable size
Does my offer seem more of an affordable price?
Your democracy’s nice but you ought to comply
Or I’ll alter your mind via the water supply
Reports coming live of some sort of device
That authorities describe as an orb in the sky
It’s absorbing the light and distorting the ice
‘Til your tenth story penthouse is caught in the tide
The Forces of Justice ought to give up
‘Fore I bore through the crust and get awfully destructive
Force down your government’s doors then I’ll bust in
Awesomely scored by a chorus of trumpets
Rulers you foolishly trust to prevent
My ascent just uselessly buckle and bend
If your throne ever feels too comfortable then
Remember all good things come to an end
CHORUS 03:
If all the world’s a stage
Then I shall play my part
You may say it’s cliché
But I say it’s an art
Every deck needs a knave
To come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save
But it’s mine to tear apart
That stylish new telephone
Home appliance sensation
Rewrites your genetic code
Every time the tone is playing
So I’m sure to get your vote
For my new administration
Detonator’s set to blow
For some world domination
SPOKEN OUTRO:
It’s too late to stop me. By now the laser dolphins are in position and every world leader at the beachside peace summit and barbeque has been incinerated.
I’ll be sure to notify their next of fin.
MUAHAHAH.
That was good. Somebody write that down.

I just realised, one of best things about stupes is most of songs are about the game without being ABOUT the game, if you get what I mean. He drops references and makes amazing themed songs and doesn't need to drop names or anything to hit the spot.
Yes like this is just a good villainy song no name drop

@@bthsr7113 Miracle of sound is pretty good but it ain't my style, but they do have a few songs that I love: Blood borne, devil may cry, and the doom songs.

Not many people would take a sponsored song, something that could be lackluster, and create a whole villainous set, with extras and evil schemes included, and absolutely eat it up with the best Bond villain rap ever.
You sticking your name on Dan’s play button is purely retaliation for the biggest crime of all: not having one yourself. This is awesome.
He won it in the Scrabble game
Seriously how does he have only half a million subs
That just ain’t right!
I didn't know he had less than a million subscribers till I saw this message. He should absolutely have much more.
I agree, I'm shocked, considering he's been here since like I think 2016
I refuse to believe that stupendiums whole house doesn’t look like this.
His house is the Stage
His new house I guess
I heard that he’s opening a casino on an island soon!
Wait...
(Edit - spelling)
I'm guessing it's a hollowed out volcano
He should at least have the chair.
We should put it to a vote: After Stupendium makes tacky clothes into awesome costumes through sheer willpower, do the clothes then become part of his daily wardrobe? Or do we think they’re confined to costume boxes (or considering the infamous lack of room in UK homes, perhaps sacrificed to thrift shops)?
I have a storage unit for props and costumes. ;)
@@TheStupendium Hey, nifty! … … …Should we take that as official confirmation the OnlyCans or Chairman of the Board outfits are not part of the weekend wardrobe?

"If all the world’s a stage

I love this part. You would think that the villain would seek money and power for the sake of their own comfort and/or ego. But the way he sees it, he only does it because society deems it necessary. What he wants doesn't even matter.
But that doesn’t mean that they can’t have fun with it!
Every good story has a villain after all
“ well, the society needs this no reason I can’t have fun. I mean why not utilize that heat ray I’ve spent half my life on that nobody wants.”
He’s for the people 😅🫴
I'm very confused on to why would he think that society wants evil...?
Your game has peaked when this guy makes a song of it.
unmistakably true my dude
What about the one about cans?
oh the game has just begun~
yes.
True
“I cheated I used curlers” is the most evil thing I’ve ever heard, yet somehow unbelievably funny. Well done man.
Imagine expecting villains to follow the rules of villainy lol
"The most evil thing I've ever hear, yet somehow unbelievably funny."
That perfectly describes the puns in this song. They're terrible, they shouldn't be funny, but they are.
I couldn't like this, it's a palindrome at 252, and ocd probs. But undeniably evil lmao

""If all the world is a stage, then I shall play my part" It has always been Sir Tupendium's credo. Once a little-known singer, composer and showman, this true Englishman was captivated by the "performance" of the past Evil Genius. Inspired, without any compulsion and with great willingness, he performed and composed music and shows for the glory of the new order in a fit of insane inspiration and quickly grew in both popularity and talent.
After the defeat and disappearance of the previous Genius, Stupendium was crushed and in the newer world he did what he loved without the former spark and enthusiasm.
Until he realizes that the years have not passed in vain - now he is the greatest Showman in the world, and the accumulated experience, knowledge and wealth can be used for a new calling - to re-conquer the world in a new, completely fabulous way."
Stupedium is a deception/science-type genius that is able to independently perform on stage in a casino by lowering the heat and quickly removing suspicion from agents. In combat, he relies on his microphone to stun and damage enemies and subordinates.
Abilities: Room for Improvement - Makes minions work faster on their tasks and restores their stamina and intelligence.
The Apex-- begins the performance by mesmerizing all agents in the area of effect and allowing the minions to deal with them calmly.
Nook Line and Sinker-The knowledge of show business and all the intricacies behind the correct selection of equipment for their performances and music creation has allowed the Stupedium to purchase the necessary equipment cheaper and cover up kidnappings with concerts, reducing the fever from operations, and its scientific and deceptive minions work 12.5% better.
The superweapon of the Stupendium is called P.E.R.F.O.M.A.N.C.E. The machine, with the help of a network of satellites, plays a specially designed song from each media outlet in the selected region, turning everyone who hears it into crazy fans for whom it is the greatest happiness to fulfill any command of their idol. Random fluctuations in the lair brainwash agents and minions into drooling useless idiots.
Oh with the Ocean DLC came out, I would love having Stupendium as a DLC Genius
New ability:
-ad infinitum: all deception minions now have the chance to pull an agent aside, to distract and drain their resolve quickly
Bonus ability: shelter from the storm: he’s figured out that sometimes all it takes is one big performance to make everybody forget. He can apply a big performance to an area to essentially wipe all heat from any outposts in that area. It will cause the outposts to stop working for a little while as they need to “shelter from the storm”.
Alternate superweapon name: Eradicating All Resistance With Overly Repeatable Music, a.k.a E.A.R.W.O.R.M.
Bonus ability: can command minions extra fast
"The world may be yours to save but its mine to tear apart" is such a great line
"I cheated. I used curlers."

@@shaddysehly5040
You really wouldn't want to be a downer here, i hear even the sky wouldn't dare to be blue.
Considering I'm 90 percent sure stupendium was alone during the filming of this, it means he was sat there in that white suit carefully applying that nail polish and I love that.
I was not alone, there was always at least one other person on set (safely socially distanced) to operate the lights, smoke and camera. Though I did apply my own makeup I did that BEFORE putting the suit on, I am not risking getting anything on that suit so the nail varnish was long dry before I put the white clothes on. :P
@@TheStupendium Totally spoiled this perfect song :(

Same with 1:25 to 1:27, 1:36 to 1:38 (Although they come together and then apart), Then 1:40 to 1:44 starts with something that mirrors the magazine, then does it on the opposite side...
There are SO MANY DETAILS. I love the very evident level of work you put into these, because it just shows how into your work you are, and I love it.
...also, I won't lie, I can't get "You secretly live below my laser-mounted space station / You may nee to think it over but if I get bored of waiting / I'll be beaming tic-tac-toe between the borders of your nations".

honestly i would love if rebellion made dlc for evil genius 2 with the stupendiums character's likeness used for a DLC villain, likely some theatric style and flair using a blend of lasers and harmonics to work towards world domination, either with the big satellite laser station, a machine to create harmonic disruptions to the tectonic plates, with the final big doomsday device being a kind of calamity inducer using a combination of both to allow him to RESHAPE THE WORLD TO SUIT HIS WILL.

i love the fact this villian reminds me of megamind, hes just playing his role he feels like was assigned to him, and he makes it the most cartoonishly over the top to keep it fun for everyone
"I cheated, I used curlers" you MONSTER how could you
Homestuck
He is the ipetemy of evil
@@HeyJinx yea (:
@@rylancanmakemoorepuns1753 no known evil would stoop that low
You SERIOUSLY believed villains hold to their own rules? How naive.
Since the Stupendium officially sings both of their theme songs, Evil Genius and OnlyCans now share the same universe. That’ll be an odd crossover.
Imagine taking over the world to promote taking pictures of cans
Now all we need is a good collective title! Stupendium Song Universe (SSU)? Stupendium Cinematic Universe (SCU)? This needs thorough discussion!
@@coopermartin9242 I do like the sound of SCU
can we get a movie?
A villain with a kink for cans is not to be shamed my friend!

You are the only person who can wear that outfit unironically and still look wonderful.

@@Isolarstes Turg.
stupendium my man, you are really making me want to get so many games omg
It's weird. I'll listen to a new song from you, think "Wow that was fantastic", and it gets added to my playlist. Then, over the course of the next few weeks I'll listen to it rather randomly, appreciating it more and more until, finally, I become full on obsessed with it for about two weeks. Happens with a lot of songs I listen to, but none more than yours. Currently, I am obsessed with this song. It's absolutely genius. You're definitely my favorite nerdcore artist, and maybe even my favorite CZcams in all. Please please please keep up the great work!
Mmm looks like someone turned into a henchman ;)
This guy NEEDS to write a musical
YES All his lyrics are amazing! I clicked this vid even though I don't know the game just because of how great his lyricism always is!!
@James Finch same i dont like musicals but if it was written by him ill damm pay to watch it better than any that exist currently
@@AnotherRandomChannel13 i have bought games just bc stupes made a banger about them
Not gonna lie, those evil laughs were so good.

Don't have to wait for the Queen anymore
Yeah, now gotta wait for king.
I'm glad we're all on the same page regarding 3:25
"If all the world's a stage, then I shall play my part. You may say it's cliche, but I say that it's an art."
*I've just had a call from our Legal Team. It is in fact a science... apologies.*
I see what you did there
Clever
"Do I have to wait for the queen of England to abdicate?"
Your actually one of the British Royals aren't you? I mean lets face it, you gotta turn to villainy at this point to finally get the throne, since the queen seems to be calling in some serious debts with the Grim Reaper at this point.
I consider her as britains betty white
The queen will never die. The grim reaper WORKS for her.
He will need 100 men to abduct the queen of England, the guards aren't there to protect the queen but protect us from the Queen.
If he needs to wait for the queen to di- *retire* then I think he might be waiting for quite a while

Stupes, I can tell you had a lot of fun with this one! It's awesome that you got the chance to do your dream project, and I'd say it's an astounding hit! Your lyricism is on point, as usual, and I love how the set and costume design merges so well with the retro '60s feel of EG2. It's also cool to get a bit of context as to why you like villain songs and playing antagonistic roles so much! It's something you legitimately do very very well, as many people other than me have pointed out.
I'd also like to note that I'm definitely writing and posting this comment of my own volition, and not because a team of minions went to my house and said they'd throw me in with the laser dolphins if I didn't say something nice about this song.
Who else wants Stupendium in a full on James Bond-esque musical as the villian? Or maybe in the Dr.Horrible sing along sequel
I really hope they make a DLC with Stupemdium, a genius specialised in style, capable of keeping morale high when in proximity and hypnotize agents with his songs.
I would buy that DLC.
I would definitly buy the game for that!
And his doomsday device is like a siren’s song like thing like it could even be called S.I.R.E.N.
@@kingofthegrimm6161 S.I.R.E.N. Stylish Imperitive Recorder Evil Negotiator? (Ok, I AM BAD at this), but your idea is awesome

I’ll sign it
That's make this four
I’d sign it
WANT
One: you're an amazing evil genius. Two: you're a wonderful sales man too! This game looks so fun and wacky and it feels right up the ally of something you'd love.
I noticed that in addition to the tradition of changing the style of the logo to match the theme of the song, the expression of the logo has been changed from the raised eyebrow to a more angry expression to enforce the villainous perspective. Gotta love the attention to detail!!!
At this point, my friends are tired of me yelling at them each time you post a video-
If stupendium became the leader of the world at least the anthem would be sick
this is the anthem.
@@shaddysehly5040 well its stil a sick song so yea.

"I'll write you a lovely orbit-uary" is the line that got me to subscribe. Your content is amazing and I'm surprised you're able to extract so much out of what seems to be so little.
Thank you for working on these!
Why does he fit so well as a villain
He is British
That is usually enough in most movies
a worryingly accurate observation... should we be concerned?
You won't be worried for long...
And CZcams never notifys me about this
The brits invented Bond villains its where all spy movies take place
"If all the world's a stage, then I shall play my part" feeding into "The world may be yours to save but it's mine to tear apart" is complete theatrical brilliance, and beautiful to boot. Additionally, "You'd need tectonic *plates* / to *serve* the schemes I'm *baking* / and the *menu* for today / Is world domination" is such clever wordplay I'm probably going to think about it forever. That's not even getting into the rest of the song! As brilliant as ever, man!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
Geez all this talk about plates and baking , I’m hungry
@@TheStupendium I swear if the devs don't include you as a 5th villian in some kind of DLC I'm gonna spam this rap on their twitter feed until they comply.

Stuoendium's abilities:
*Ad Break's Over!* Boost productivity and priority of minions, while also slowly draining skill of any nearby agents.
*I'll Take the Stage!* If you have a stage, you may have Stupendium be the Employee who works there. If so, Agents' Abilities are drained 50% faster from Deception based items.
With being able to drop bars like this why wouldn't he want to take center stage and keep his guests entertained?
@@JMandJJ7797 probably because these bars are mildly incriminating
@@thecoon3036 I mean he would probably sing less incriminating songs or people would just think of it as some sort stage thing or quirky artist persona. Like he can stop an agent that tries to beat him on stage and the audience will clap and be impressed as if it were some kind of legit stage performance.
I really want a dlc with stupendium as an evil genius, or a henchman
Not on nexus mods, not on mod db...... well then looks like I've got my work cut out for me.
Wouldn't mind the entire world being ruled by the Stupendium if it means his songs are played 24/7 everywhere
If only we could get Stupes as like a skin or something of one of the evil geniuses. That would be amazing.
I consistently am amazed by this guy's skills.
If I had a dollar for every banger the Stupendium made about a nefarious guy in a business suit, I would have 9 dollars, which isn't enough to buy a game of Monopoly, but it's weird that it happened 9 times.
I'd like to see those nine songs.

Honestly though, _"The world may be yours to save, but it's mine to tear apart"_ is such a good villian line and the way he says it is just perfect, I wonder how nobody hired Stupendium to be a villian character in a masterpiece apart from his yet

3:24, I got some good news, bad news for everyone else tho
Jesus christ, now that Im concentrating on the set, Im in awe, youre really putting in the work, not that you ever didnt but looking back at when I found your channel because of Shelter from the storm (and was blown away), youve come so damn far in terms of overall production quality, both visually and music wise.
The video barely started and my day is already made
Him putting his name over Dan Bulls play button is one the the most evilly creative things I've ever seen
I love that part
Yes. That's it, *Yes.*
That moment is the biggest mood I swear
"If I steal her bling, do I have to wait, for the queen of England to abdicate?" STUPES
Ok I know I’m late but I had to do this.
So since we realistically won’t be getting a new evil genius at all, I present to you the mad musician dlc.
Obviously the henchman would the stupendous himself in the outfit displayed in the video. He would have a base of 175 of each stat. His two abilities would be: 1. Encouraging melody, where all minions in the radius get a full morale and smarts regin, and 2. Rock concert, which would stun agents while damaging their health and resolve.
A few idea for missions: trying to sabotage hypnotizing concerts stoping your schemes, or perhaps you would have to fend off a bunch of his fans.
No one is gonna read all that lol
Well you got hearted by the dude itself, so don't lose hope, a stupes henchman would be great!
@@goblincrimes8524 a stupes genius would be better

I like that the schemes in the song were basically all the schemes from the first game (mess with the plate tectonics causing catastrophic earthquakes globally, messing with the moon's gravitational pull causing everyone to float up into space, and poofing everyone into minions.)
The Fiend Weekly issue also references the Matron from EG1.
Holy crap. You are right, I totaly missed that.
