Abraham Kane Is A Vile Visionary

- This is a video depicting a compilation of scenes of a fascinating villain from my memories, the insidious industrialist, fatherly fascist, and billionaire owner of Detroit Deluxe, Abraham Kane (voiced by Mark Hamill) from the show Motorcity. He proved to be an exceptionally amazing villain strictly because he had convictions and a mindset that matched real conqueror types who believed life under their standard of living was the ideal no matter how cruel or downright ruthless the conquerors happened to be. All his talk of making the hard choices seemed to show me that making hard choices just makes people "Evil" in turn. Hope you enjoy him as I did!

This guy looks like what would happen if Mark Hamill voiced the Scotsman in Samurai Jack
But he di- Hold up… That was a joke right?
This was such a great show, and Kane was a great antagonist. A very complex character, who loved his daughter dearly, yet was willing to commit mass genocide.
Tao Jones T.jones There were moments were he was a father and moments were he had to a leader.
Yes, but his leadership is very similar to a dictatorship. He was willing to demolish a building that still had people inside. Yes, he is not pure evil, and he truly believes that he is doing the right thing for delux. The problem is he is willing to destroy homes and lives to keep his empire strong. Julie would be a better leader, because she wouldn't go to the extremes that Kane would go to reach her goals. She would try and bring delux and motorcity together and build a better world from there. It's all about compromise.
Tao Jones T.jones But Kane doesn't believe in compromise.
Exactly. Kane doesn't believe in compromise, but Julie does.
Considering the episode where Kane used the citizens of his own city as weapons against the Burners by controlling their bodies using specialized suits in way that would have mean their deaths if not for the Burners, it's clear Kane doesn't care about the people of Delux, just controlling the city. As is the case with people who kill others and their own in the name of their side.
I think the best thing about Kane is his leadership juxtaposed with Mike’s.
While both are willing to do anything to make sure their people are safe, Mike knows the fine line between protection and dictatorship.
Kane protects his people by control, he fundamentally disagrees with the prospect of freedom because he thinks it’s dangerous, he cares about his creation but it’s to the point where anything that isn’t from his city is a threat.
He also believes, much like Thanos that the toughest choices require the strongest of wills, he knows what people like Mike, Motorcity, even his own daughter thinks of him but to him it doesn’t matter because anything is better than the alternative.
Mike on the other hand is willing to protect both the city and his crew without completely controlling them, he gives them the freedom to do their own thing with only suggestions and advice.
The only time he’s actually in complete control is when he’s leading the crew into a battle and he doesn’t mind people from the different side, he understands that his war is with Kane and Kane alone not the people that reside within Deluxe.
Another thing that makes Kane a good villain is the fact that even without his gadgets and robots he still has the physical advantage when it comes to Mike, I mean Mikes just a small guy with a big heart while Kane has the same size arms as the actual the big red machine himself (get it… I’m here every night folks)
Just wanted to write my thoughts on the matter, I haven’t watched much but from what I have watched of this series I thoroughly enjoy and that is what I’ve got from the stuff I’ve watched regarding this show.
Motorcity was hella lit. One of those rare shows that I wished lasted more. Same as Symbiotic Titan.
It feels like shows like this were legendary because they hardly held back
I feel your pain
add Tron: Uprising to this list
"Visionary" is a fine choice of word here. Mind you I have never seen this series, though I think I might look into it now. He is a what I consider a prime example of the D&D alignment of "Lawful Evil". though this video (which is all I have to go on at the time of writing this) doesn't depict him directly controlling, manipulating or ordering people (save the initial interactions) it is established that he has has created a society that WORKS, and is sustaining itself, and he is working to find a reasonable heir to let it continue. He has a code, he has created laws, and so long as people follow then, they are left alone.
The "Evil" Component comes from what he is willing to do to remain in power, spread his control, and fight opposition. He is willing to do anything it takes to achieve his goals. The complexity comes from the one thing he may love more than his position, his daughter. What is interesting is that even HE sees she would make a great leader...and she confirms it by initially refusing...the best leaders often don't WANT that power or responsibility.
It is true, being a leader, ruler, commander, manager means that, at some point you WILL have to make a difficult choice that affects subordinates negatively. Bad leaders callously rationalize the ends justifying the means. Good ones will empathize with those affected. GREAT leaders may have no choice but they do everything in their power to mitigate the losses or suffering, and take personal responsibility for the outcome.
That's deep but makes slot of sense.
Kane is weird he reminds me of idiyamin gaga but also elon musk which I think make sense.
so have you seen the show now?
Also, I feel like is important to note that, part of the reason why Kane hates Motorcity so much and wants to replace it with it's vision, is because Motorcity WORKS.
Motorcity is not by any means perfect, but it is clear that the society that exist below Deluxw is ond that works.
This rubs Kane in a wrong way because this make Motorcity an ALTERNATIVE to Deluxe: "Don't like Deluxe, well Motor ity is just down there"
He knows some people will inevitably chose Motorcity over Deluxe, and this is way Motorcity has to burn.
Kind of reminds me of a weird mix of The Joker and Handsome Jack
he's voiced by Mark Hamill
who the hell's handsome jack?
Found another galaxy like me!
@@ryanmatthews3609 the main antagonist of borderlands 2 an fps rpg game
Fire Lord Ozai
Kane and Tesler are both dictators that aren't afraid to use genocide to solve there problems. But Tesler probably doesn't have any moral weaknesses.
Christian Marquez Kane's weakness was his daughter
Tesler however does have have bosses he’s afraid of failing Luke CLU and dyson, even if they piss him off to no end.
Tesler I think would’ve been killed by CLU and Dyson in Season 2
I’d compare Kane more to Clu than Tesler. While Clu is vicious and cruel in his own right he does it to fulfill his programming. To create and maintain a perfect system in his and his user’s eyes.
If it means a few programs have to die or get repurposed so be it. As long as the system is perfect to Clu the ends justify the means.
Tesler seems to be just downright selfish. He kills without reason or remorse, he lies and manipulates he even mentions how the programs will do nothing because “I am the state”. He’s a power hungry maniac that kills simply because he can and wants to.
Kane is the same as Clu. Yes he may be cruel and vicious around Motorcity but everything he does and every life he takes and controls is for the betterment of Deluxe, just like Clu with the grid.
Both are delusional and stubborn to a flaw though. Clu hated ISOs because they weren’t programmed but more… born. With will of their own. They have no users, no pre written code or directives.
They’re different and so in the eyes of an ai that’a very reason of being is a perfect system they’re imperfect and a threat to the system he’s trying to create.
Kane is the same. He can’t think of a world of coexistence because that lead to the wasteland that Deluxe is protecting everyone from. Freedom, choice, independence? All dangerous, all different and unpredictable and therefore a threat to the system Kane has worked so hard to build.
They’re both visionaries that can’t see anything else but the end goal. People who want to make the perfect system with imperfect and flawed people.
TRON LIVES!!!
Kane was definitely one of the reasons why I got into Motorcity in the first place, he didn't make any hesitations on the decisions he's made. Anyways, once again thanks for making this, I will definitely give you a shout-out for doing this (The shout-out will be posted on another site). ^-^
Mark Hamil's voice sure did age weird. But on the bright side, his current voice allows him to make some KILLER punchlines...
They missed out cancelling this series...
zeoranger7 Silver So many unanswered questions
VerdeMorte someone somewhere buy it and continue it
They sure did.
if you have Disney plus you could request new seasons of it in the feedback section
@@bigshadow847 interesting
6:30 I love how Kane is legitimately surprised he could pronounce that properly.
He kinda reminds me of Dr. Eggman
A super genius visionary with robots who takes over the world and has to deal with teenage resistance who like going fast
I thought I was the only one! He reminds me of Eggman too!
I know people like the stories where the heroes win, but in my head-canon I like to think that Kane got the upper hand. Despite it being cancelled, Motorcity had a better ending because of it. The heroes don't always win. This could be a perfect example. I'm sure season 2 would've opened up with someone saving Mike and Kane being defeated by the skin of his teeth, but that would honestly be boring. The villain winning would be perfect. Chilton survives the fall and he and the Burners go into hiding because of Motorcity's destruction. Kane wins. Bacause, in my opinion, this is Abraham Kane's story, just from the perspective of the people he's hurt because his character has the stomach to make the hard decisions. He's a well developed character and Mark Hamil played him to perfection. I would honestly describe his and Chilton's relationship as being lawful evil and lawful good. The difference being for Chilton, quoted from Sentinel Prime, "You were always the bravest of us, but you could never make the hard decisions". Whereas Kane goes all out to protect Detroit but instead created a dictatorship. But in my opinion and head-canon, Kane won in the end. I wish this show was given a chance, but it was a blessing in disguise that it ended.
Actually the seried still ends with Kane's defeat.
Right after Mike is thrown by Kane in the final scene of this video, he's rescued by Duke who was piloting his car. And that leads to the final Battle of the episode where all their allies in Motorcity help destroy the genesis pod that was going to convert them into part of delux.
Sure, it wasn't a CONCLUSIVE defeat, but Kane was still defeated for the time being.
Mark Hamill is they best voice of evil in a loooooong time. Kane, Kill Croc, Fire Lord Ozai, Hobgoblin, The Joker. The list just goes on and on and on.
Skeleton King
Skips
i'm addicted to these
Motorcity. Yet another show ahead of its time and taken for granted.
Damn, I really wish I knew the name of the amazing song that played when Kane and Chill faced off. Gives me chills every time I watch it.
It sounds alot like the 28 Weeks later theme song
Truly the same,sadly we will never get the ost 😭
Kane is great but the Duke of Detroit is the absolute best character in Motorcity.
Well there's a much longer video of him if you want to see it (th-cam.com/video/qIPCPAdr72c/w-d-xo.html)
Thanks man.
I need this show back!
In the mighty words of Megatron, "peace through tyranny".
Mark Hamil...king of the villains.
He's also had his fair share of heroes too.
mike finding there are tenants is literally doomguys backstory...nice
A great villain for a great show. You know you're in for a good show, when Mark is voicing the big bad.
How come when people talk about Mark Hamil performances, it's either Joker or Luke Skywalker. I know those are the roles he's most famous for but I love his other roles too. Like playing himself in Jay and Silent Bob strike back, Kane, some of his minor roles like Undergrowth and the shape shifter and one of the more obscure roles like Skeleton King. He's an amazing voice actor.
Mark didn't play Killer Croc. That was Ron Perlman.
It's official i need to watch motorcity
Same here ET
when you find out she has a dick Me too.
Man miss this show so much.
I miss this show
hope this gets a second season on Disneyplus
Big Shadow
Don’t hold thine breath
@@autismobinch135 Hope is all I got friend
Oh Mark Hamill. You are a treasure
This show was awesome.
First Megas XLR then Motorcity...IS NOTHING SACRED?!?!?!
I LOVED Megas.
I loved this show so much
He sounds like Mark Hamil doing a Mark Hamil Impression
This was the second Disney main antagonist he voiced, the first was Skeleton King.
Protagonist looks like Murdoc from Gorillaz
Handsome Jack red haired brother.
He doesn’t even pretend to the Motorcity people.
Hamil voices the best villains
Joker gonna get jealous.
Should totally do a video on TRON- Uprising and Star Wars Rebels
I'll do one of Thrawn when the series is finished.
Can we have a video about the Duke of Detroit? Best character in the show.
Is that a double bladed staff with chainsaws? That's cool.
14:06 Best moment in the show.
When the Scotsman sides with Aku
He and Handsome Jack should hang out. Maybe merge Deluxe with Hyperion.
Nah, Kane would hate Handsome Jack. Probably think he was a threat to his perfect society as part of a "there can be only one ruler" deal.
@@EmptyMan000 Handsome jack would probably shoot Kane on sight as well to be honest.
just realized it's mark hamill
Jaycoda jr.
Yeah
I think that Abraham Kane would be aligned with the Templar Order in Assassins Creed.
He is Handsome Jack...
how have I never heard of this show before...??
Atasco Osage I think it didn't get much attention due to being a web series back then, therefore it became unkown, though I remember the commercials in DisneyXD and thinking it looked awesome
Atasco Osage Btw, you should check out "Megas XLR", it's an old mecha series from Cartoon Network created by basically the same guys
Luke Skywalker really, REALLY, let himself go
So the Joker came back to life after Arkham City was shutdown and went to Motorcity
9:05 Where Larsen and Stevens going to appear.
The first time that would make
He really is a son. As Mike would've married his Daughter had the show continued...😅
“That deal was yesterday, this is today.”
If Sith Luke took after Vader’s deal breaking
I know I've heard the song that plays in that last clip before somewhere.
Anybody got a name?
Idea: Nightmaster is an Duke of Darkness
Show: Yin Yang Yo
I would but there isn't enough decent scenes displaying his villainy that I can use.
@@EmptyMan000 I think you could try at least, he's a cool villain.
#BringBackMotorcity
Kane really loves Julie he even show his kind side when she is in danger 😮
another show with potential get canned by the network.
And, why was this show cancelled again?
Disney's Andrew Ryan
Selim Bradley is a Prideful Pipsqueak
Is this all 3D animated? it's damn good.
Mr Duul Nope, it's a mix of 2d and 3d, and in this case it's one of the only times I see them mixed well
Flash animation
do Griffith next!!!!!! 😀😀😀
Already a good enough video of Griffith (th-cam.com/video/OoTYeCGCvCI/w-d-xo.html)
EmptyMan000 But there's one from the three movies and there isn't even a full one from the series. If you did one with Griffith then you have more views more subscribers and more likes because Griffith is a very controversial and popular character. if you're worried about the time then do Griffith in the 3 movies .😊
EmptyMan000 love him or hate him people will watch because it's Griffith👍
I don't do this to get more subscribers. I do this for my interests and to display forms of villainy in stories. Even if I did do Griffith from the memories, the same material would be shown , just remastered and reformed in higher definition and animation. It's still Griffith regardless.
3:55 did...did he say bitch?!
No, he called his subordinate a "dimwit of a manchild", not a bitch.
But loyal!
This comment might be a bit late lol, but what about a video on red? Hes another villian on this show.
Kane is monster !!!!!!!
no not really for he still has a heart for his own daughter
Could you do Brother Blood from Teen Titans?
I would but his motivations as a villain and his success rate is pretty low. He's powerful yes but constantly betrayed and gets his butt kicked by Cyborg each time.
song at 14:10?
Not sure. I wish I knew because the soundtracks of this show are just amazing.
The music is from 28 days layer.
Tao Jones T.jones no I think it’s inspired by in a Heartbeat but it does have some differences to it compared to the song you’re referring to
What show is this?
Motorcity
May I suggest Ultron? Earths Mightiest Heroes version is a good one.
Nah, that version was too ineffectual for me. Despite his plan to destroy humanity to bring about peace an order, he was constantly defeated by logic arguments and force. never achieving any of his long term goals.
What about the comic book version?
I enjoy the comic book version. Less obsessed about his creator and more focused on self-identity.
EmptyMan000 what made you change your mind about ultron from mightiest heroes?
Oh I figured his ability to adapt made him somewhat acceptable. His ability to survive destruction to eventually continue to carry out his programming redeemed him for my needs. I admired his drive to complete his mission and learn from his battles, even though he kept failing in the long run.
seriously ? you are gonna end the video like that ? why ?!
Dramatic effect. Why else?
you are so evil !
What's the rest of the world like?
It's implied in one episode that everything outside Detroit has supposedly been reduced to uninhabitable wasteland, but it was never confirmed in the show since the show was cancelled before there was a definite answer.
Oh, hey, just for a recommendation for a villain to do a video on, I highly recommend gelorum from hot wheels world race and the acceleracers movies.
I would but there isn't a lot of decent Gelorum scenes I can work with.
@@EmptyMan000 If the show had continued i imagine we would have learned that there are more cities besides Detroit run by some sort of Cabal that Kane was following.
Do one on togoro from yu yu hakusho.
I would but he's a little too simplistic for my liking. As entertaining as he is, he's just a psycho brute with no major motivations other than to find an opponent strong enough to make him fight at his hardest so he can die because he's secretly suicidal for choosing to be a demon. A B-Class demon at that. No thanks.
So I guess that goes for Mr. Freeze from Batman as well? I'll come up with a good list for you.
Mr. Freeze is great but he always seemed too sadly angst to me, strictly because he started his path to villainy to save his wife, then he became a disembodied head because his body rotted away and went on a city wide tantrum just to make people miserable since he couldn't meet his wife as just a head, and then he appeared in the future where he tried to kill himself. No bigger motivations, no grand successes, no great completion of his goals. Just angst and then death.
Well... I think hes a "Frozen Over Bastard" also his story in the animated series is really good.
His story should have ended in subzero, but for some reason, the writers choose to make his life even worst. He was still a great tragic villain. Not all villains have to be megalomaniacs like Kane.
how much cartoons do you watch
A lot.
Lies. Deception. Corruption. BOR GULLET!!!
🤣
How about Jasper?
She's an interesting case but I am not sure she's a great villain to make a video of since she never accomplished her main goals. She came to Earth to capture the Crystal Gems to take to the Gem Homeworld and got beaten and stranded, she got fused with Lapis Lazuli and turned into a wild monster, got split up and essentially went increasingly insane, and then got defeated and turned into another wild monster. Then later details reveal she was nothing more than a dangerous misinformed pawn who fought to avenge a Diamond who never even died. Overall, a poor villain.
@@EmptyMan000 Well where we are at now what about the Diamond Authority?
Fucking never! The diamonds suck as villains and "redeem" characters. I do not care what anyone says, the diamonds do not deserve redemption, especially bloody white. She could have been a great villain, but no!!! Sugar wanted to "redeem" her, ignoring all the shit she did. Jasper may have been a "poor villain" but at least she was persistent and got decent screen time. And didn't want until the fucking final season to fight the protagonists!!!
@@tayojones9460 yeah definitely!
Caley hhhhhhhhhhh
I'm pretty sure his talk of "hard choices" aren't really that hard, but more of a lip service towards morality.
