He wasn’t doing it out of the good in his heart, he only cares about himself. I don’t see the point in trying to cleanse an entire planet without self profit. You still never answered: Why would he build a giant-ass laser for himself? Why would he bother cleansing a wasteland planet of hostile wild life? He got the Eridium out and was already mining it. That is why he is the side to be one, it is better to be on the winning side then the opposite. Without Angel or BL2 Vault hunters or without Angel, Handsome Jack would have one. You know why? Because they aren’t good enough at strategists in battle. Roland was captured, Lilith was in over her head with those bandits, and Hyperion was probably going to kill Roland once they got him. Without Angel, the BL2 vault hunters, Lilith, Roland, Moxxi, and the others would be dead. Lilith and Roland… Errrg they are just so uneducated that they should have just died.They got themselves in a mess they couldn’t have gotten themselves out of. In fact, i don’t think that the vault hunters would have been able to take Jack down by themselves. He would keep them alive should for if he needed them in the future, while at the same time having eyes on them at all time just in case they decided to turn on him. If the other vault hunters had Joined Jacks side, he would be smarter than killing them off when they were useless. He was useless as S**T but Jack still let him live. He would be almost the same man if there wasn’t so much betrayal in his life. Jack was a decent man in the beginning of TPS, he risked his life to let us live. I would rather trust a educated man with power rather than a land of savages and bandits whos goal is to only further themselves. Just as why they search in the vault in the first place, for power, money… the same things Jack wanted. If the vault-hunters had the same chance they would have done the same. Nobody gave him the power of God, he gave it to himself. Why would he be trustworthy? He is more educated. Even if they sided with him, remember that his grandmother turned him into a sociopath, what would stop him from just killing his allies when they ceased to be useful? If they regulated him, how are you sure he wouldn’t try anyways?

Question: Why is it that you think someone who built a giant-ass death laser, in secret from his superiors, out of the eye of a deadly god would be a trustworthy person? Why would you trust him with that much power at his fingertips? You don’t give someone the power of God. Roland and Lilith knew they fcked up, but tried to stop it. She did nothing to try and atone for her helping Jack. During all the genocide and f cked experiments Jack was doing, Roland was fighting Hyperion directly, Lilith was distracting the Bloodshots to take pressure off of Roland, and Athena was hiding in a cave with Janey. Even though Athena regrets working for him, she did nothing to help out fighting against him. You played the CV? Even when Athena knew Jack was a psycho and hated him, she came back to work for him again to make him even stronger. Then he has it again after presequel in order to correct the burn in his face and then therefore the mask.īecause Athena went against the morals she had in the Knoxx DLC (see SpiderTeo’s essays about this). So, for that to make sense with everything else it means she’s saying:Ī) “I kicked his face to the curb (and some time later his face got a plastic surgery face mask)”ī) “I kicked his plastic surgery face to the curb” -meaning that Jack had some sort of plastic surgery before preSequel in order to look as handsome as he does. But based on the presquel we know he didn’t have his plastic surgery face mask until preSequel.

For example, Moxxi said “then I kicked his plastic surgery face to the curb” when she was talking about how they dated. You have to take it all with a grain of salt. And if you look at every piece of dialog and story in all the games it might not all make sense together. To be fair though to your points though, it was definitely a semi forced alteration to the storyline. And based on that I still think it was before the pre-sequel. I think that was exactly the reason that Moxxi gave. Manipulating someone else to do it or not.īut to answer your question, “why would he do it before?”, I already said why, because he was paranoid that Moxxi was cheating. He could have easily done it before any number of ways, in person or not. Much of that universe underestimated him for years. I guess it’s possible that he destroyed the underdome after the pre-sequel with a deployment of hyperion robots. The eye laser would’ve destroyed the entire Parched Fathoms, there’s no way it could’ve been used to destroy the underdome.Īnd he’d destroy it ALONE? He sounds too coward-y to do it.
