Menendez is more of a threat than Makarov. More experience, more influential, better philosophy, better ideology, he has empathy, and he's a monster. An Avengers level threat on a galactic scale. He has a Cartel, a cult following, blood soaked hands, nothing to lose, and most importantly... "He's more powerful than you know... he even has people in the C.I.A.... Hehehehehe..."
Yes he has his hands in so many pies, always calm and collected and knows what hes gonna do next. No chance by it he has it all planned out. And never forget those in the CIA 😏
Kamar de los reyes left and gave us one of the greatest villians in fiction. Really wish he was here, but massive respect for giving us a childhood, and a great story possible.
Was honestly saddened to hear about his voice actors passing. Bro was a legend that made so many memories when we were children. The way he delivered his lines. You can feel the pain and anger in his voice screaming for vengeance. R.I.P Karma de los Reyes 🙏. If they remaster bo2 id hate for them to replace his voice with a new actor like makarov.
The Important point that was missed in the video was WHY menendez had 2 billion members. Cuz he said the truth, that in the year 2025 billions live in poverty and his message was resognating with them people. Just like in real life
@@bl4ckdr4gontv93 good point, I didn't go down the truth angle more the suffering but very valid. He spoke about the tragedies he faced as a child growing up and the injustice. Thank you for watching 😊
Everyone talk about how Makarov was the best villian but Raul has a special spot in my heart cause the man just feels like what people who really value there family would want especially if it was a unnecessary death.
The story line for Menendez just hits hard man, love how deep the story goes into finding out about him and his past. What a great campaign and story line
I just noticed now that if Mason allow woods to throw his grenade, Woods would’ve killed Hudson as well, killing 2 birds with one stone 🪨 since he doesn’t even like Hudson
Not even the fact he doesn't even like Hudson. Despite the fact he's an Ice Cube in his element but he was the Mole in the C.I.A. for Menendez. Remember that little thing Kravchenco said in Afghanistan, or that dossier Mason found in Menendez' Coke lab, below his Compound? He even admitted it right in front of us, before we watched him helplessly die at the hand of Menendez?
@ there is no canon ending but they’ve told us that in the canon ending menendez dies which is considered a bad ending meaning that in the next game this year menendez wins and the riots start then I’m pretty sure the burn down the White House
Not gonna lie, he hands down is one of those villains i honestly was rooting to win and am pleased to know he does so canon wise. Like his origins is nothing short of sad and makes us the real villains. All it took was one bad day and thus Judgement Day commenced in 2025, which is this year
I feel this, can't blame in for his actions really, he really had a reason to want to cause as much disruption and was doing it for his people. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
i think fire is a strong thematic symbol used in the game its funny how the first thing you seee in the game is a soldier trapped burning to his death as Mason tries to get him out and Menendez burns himself alive in the end if he kills woods
100% super is a massive theme for the campaign man. Josefina burned, the CIA burned, warehouse torched, how he kills himself & the part at the beginning of the container. Super powerful
We've had some legitimately phenomenal performances in this franchise, from the likes of Nolan North to James C. Burns; from Brian Bloom to Lance Hendriksen. But I refuse to say there's been a better one than Kamar De Los Reyes. The man absolutely fucking crushed this performance, and they'll never be able to find someone to fill his shoes. Ever.
I wonder how he does not know makorov I mean he’s in the phone book and with everything going in in the world I’m shocked they knew nothing about the events that had happened
@@StallionFPSI’m not even mad at you or leaving hate just made me mad idk if you’re doing it on purpose for engagement but I liked and subbed because RUclips need people like you just try to pronounce names properly and I promise you you’ll get more engagements
93rd like and you dont know how long i waited for this day menedez is such a good well written sympathethic villan and also i like to point out that i noticed that hear we are in 2025 and poverty has risen the same within cods timeline 😲
Do you know about the three possible endings in bo2 you showed one another is the best ending requiring you to save karma and not kill menendez which ends up with in prison and karma shuts down the virus, the other is with any choice if you kill menendez billions of people die due to codas die. You can also "save" mason by shooting him in the leg and he shows up at the end.
I do homie, I rewatched the whole campaign over again to remind myself of the whole story but loved the narrative of how he burned himself alive on Josefinas grave, felt it fit well 🙏🏼 such a great campaign!
Canon ending: menendez dead mason dead Great ending: menendez arrested - Chloe and Alex alive Any other ending: tian Zhao and Raul alive, Briggs or Karma dead
Massive RIP to the voice actor for Menendez: Kamar de los Reyes ❤
Thank you all so much for watching & commenting it means a lot 🙏🏼

He’s up there with mak mak started ww3 and detonated a nuke he is on the cias most wnated list

"Bullshit! This guy's fucking with us."
Loved that part 🤣
I dont agree
Makarov did a similar thing is less time.
If he is a better character thats a different matter.

Amen man 🙏🏼 massive RIP, his legend will live on

He really fit so well with Menendez, such a great actor and massive RIP. Thank you for watching homie 🙏🏼
"Karma de los Reyes" lmao what a name dude
He’s not a mustache twirling villain, he just has a trainload of BEEF he needs to settle
@@chonchjohnch lmfao this comment got me in stitches! Tell em ✨👏🏼👌
We will never forget Menendez!

He's even better than Makarov... (Edit) NOT To say that Makarov sucks, I still like him, and maybe he could defeat Menendez in a 1V1 Villain fight...
THANK YOU!
Preach 👏🏼
In Terms of Written Yes. Menendez is overall the best COD villain in history.

I think Makarov is better a pure evil type villain.
Everyone talk about how Makarov was the best villian but Raul has a special spot in my heart cause the man just feels like what people who really value there family would want especially if it was a unnecessary death.

Nah, Hudson ran the second he saw the frag, but it would probably roll towards him
Menendez went for sister, so he lives
He actually wins in canon.
No cannon ending exists
Out of all the endings he loses once and that ending is confirmed no canon
@@donaldmusteredplays2331 there is no cannon ending that’s the whole point and why there is no continuation to canonize an ending
@ there is no canon ending but they’ve told us that in the canon ending menendez dies which is considered a bad ending meaning that in the next game this year menendez wins and the riots start then I’m pretty sure the burn down the White House
Maybe, the ending to Black Ops 6 makes me think that the Pantheon is the new enemy for Black Ops 7.

Funny how I was fanboi of makarov but I realized that menendez is superior
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
really high quality analysis, for my favourite cod game too, quality video.
Yeah Raul Mendez is such a insane villain in my opinion
It ain’t the same without him😢
🙏🏼
I love this story. To experience it for the first time once more.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

Massive RIP man, what a legacy he left!
Another banger Stallion!

He had every right to become a villain.
No he didn’t. Nobody does. He’s just an evil bastard who wanted to destroy the world because he was angry at the world and couldn’t let anything go.
Nature vs nurture! You see his world change as a child & honestly loved how we got to follow his story so deeply in this campaign
@@StallionFPS agreed
No one does.
1. Cyber attacks
2. Drone citings
3. Cold war with China
4. Menendez in the news
Black Ops 2 in 2025 confirmed.
I wonder how he does not know makorov I mean he’s in the phone book and with everything going in in the world I’m shocked they knew nothing about the events that had happened
Plot twist: Makarov and Menendez are in the band at the end... Imagine 🤣
Bro this guy is reading a script and keeps mispronouncing things

I don't think the voice actor Raul Menendez voice actor died he is still alive.

@StallionFPS OK that explains why you only spoke about one of the endings.
Canon ending: menendez dead mason dead
Great ending: menendez arrested - Chloe and Alex alive
Any other ending: tian Zhao and Raul alive, Briggs or Karma dead
Raul was the good guy in the end.
Is it Odysseus or is it Osidious? 😂
It’s the same as the Greek spelling so it’s the first one
I screwd it lmfao! Said it right once and wrong another 💀 @@dogeknight6000
@@StallionFPS you still did good my friend
@@dogeknight6000 thank you man means a lot! 🙏🏼
Bro, $11,000 in the 70's is almost 100k in today's economy, so it's a lot of money

@iwasneverkilled3516 well, the value is even higher
I throw this to the wind… 0:07
Because he’s realistic
“Nobody wanted to lose” only evil people want him to not lose.
I wanted him to lose because he killed my favorite characters from bo1
What about call of duty declassified?
No you're right I could have went down another rabbit hole with this and extended it just thought I'd be going too far with it
I think Niko Belic can take him.
Raul doesn't look so tough. lol
What the fuck is "cord dis dee" 0:48 😂
And now we have a bunch of dumbasses saying the LA fires was like the LA mission on this game some people need brain surgery
honestly i understand and i hate goverments too
Future? It’s 2025 now.
I wanted him to lose, the fuck you mean?
Shup
:24 it takes place in 2025 not 2012 lol
I meant as in when the campaign & game dropped in 2012
Algorithm
Hey ya know it’s 2025 and trump is tryna start a war with the cartels. Sounds almost familiar🤔
Old campaigns were nice and gritty.
