And throughout the whole game he is very straight forward in what he wants. This is the first time we get to know Handsome Jack. The very girl who wanted to die rather than let her father succeed in his plans for Pandora.Īnd yet he still cracks jokes, granted though they aren’t as light as the ones in the beginning of the game and are much more darker, such as the “I’ll pay you to kill yourself” mission.
HANDSOME JACK FACE LILLITH KILS FULL
The very same girl who he locked away from the world, the girl who he has been pumping full of eridum so he could power up the vault key. A father who wants revenge to those who killed his baby girl. Someone who has nothing left to live for because he just lost his daughter. And all the while he still says things that we as players can’t help but smile and laugh at all the while hating him for what he’s done.Īnd when Angel dies and he kills Roland we get a whole new side of Handsome Jack. He killed Bloodwing because he knew that her death would devastate Mordecai. Then we see his character become more even more cruel and sinister by having Angel trick you into the getting the faulty core from Wilhelm so he could obliterate Sanctuary, which is full of innocents. We are given this character who is funny and cocky but also is not afraid to kill to achieve his goals, no matter if it means killing innocents because they are “bandits.” From the very beginning we are told what Handsome Jack can do. We find out in one of the first missions in the game, think it’s called ’Handsome Jack Here,’ that he kills Helena Pierce in cold blood when he and Wilhelm destroy New Haven. This is the Jack we get for the good first half of the game. Maybe…”Butt Stallion”? Nah, that’s even worse. I was gonna call it “piss-for-brains” in honor of you, but that just feels immature. "I’m rackin’ my brain trying to think of a name for that diamond pony I bought. This is why right from the start you have him cracking jokes at your character like the passage below. The developers wanted him to be this character who comes off as this funny yet egotistical jerk that players will find funny and enjoy. He is a villain that you absolutely love to hate. In Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack was made to be a villain, and in my eyes he is the perfect one.
I’ve played though all the games multiple times, at least twice fully, and I feel fully comfortable to say that there is absolutely nothing to misunderstand when it comes to Handsome Jack. Sorry if this gets a little long but I feel this needs to be said. You can like a character and not agree with the things they’ve done.Īnd Handsome Jack is a perfect example of this.
