Added DiffLines:

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: It's easier to say which of the generals in the challenge mode '''doesn't''' constantly taunt you and behave incredibly smug - because that would be none.


Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodAcid: Though it's Anthrax it basically functions like standard acid we know from Hollywood films.

*ShoutOut: General Townes from the challange mode likes to make those:
--> "''[[Series/StarTrek Would you like me to beam you up, general?]]"''
--> "''[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Particle Cannon. I wonder what would happen if we cross the beams.]]"''

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: The Generals Alexander, Fai and Kwai all pose with a gun in their portraits while having their fingers on the trigger. Anyone who's ever been properly teached on how to use a gun knows that this is excatly ''not'' the way to hold a gun unless you're about to shoot a target.

YMMV


* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Take just about any faction unit at all: lots of its quotes are subtle messages of, well... overblown fanaticism.
-->'''USA Paladin''': Enemies of the free world!
-->'''GLA Rebel''': Our way is true!
-->'''PRC Red Guard''': Foreign devil!

''[=C&C=]: Generals'' is a RealTimeStrategy game set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture (2013), using more-or-less existent, in-development, or theorized technology. The [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Global Liberation Army]], an Arab-ish terrorist organization RippedFromTheHeadlines after 9/11, has declared war on the People's Republic of China and the United States of America, forcing the two superpowers to cooperate against the militants. An {{expansion pack}} followed, ''Zero Hour'', which introduced a continuation campaign (although a bit shorter, but the stages are longer), more units, and Generals Challenge mode featuring three specialized generals to choose from within each main faction (the Generals are also available for Skirmish modes). The game is canonically unconnected to the other ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' series, and in fact bears more resemblance to Ensemble's ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires'' and Blizzard's ''Franchise/StarCraft'' and ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' series.
