I know that a lot of people don't agree with me, but I think the pre sequel is actually really good. I just love how you see jack's decent into madness.

I know this video is old and Jack’s narrative has ended, but he’s a character I genuinely feel sorry for. He imprisoned Angel because she accidentally killed her mother with her extreme, uncontrollable power. He killed the Meriff because he’d attempted to shoot him in the back. He killed the scientists after his encounter with the Meriff because he was scared of being betrayed again... Generally speaking, he killed a few in an attempt to save millions... He definitely was an unstable person, to say the least, yet every choice he made was (arguably) justified. He did horrific things... yet they seemed to be for the greater good. Sadly the concept of heroism led him into madness - he could not perceive himself as anything but a hero, likely due to narcissism. One of his lines that really struck me was “Please don’t kill my baby girl”. Despite everything, he still loved Angel and was willing to ditch his entire agenda for her. I definitely feel like I’m rambling now but I really love Jack’s character. He tried to do well, he really did. I love your video, you’ve really created the perfect atmosphere. It feels just right.

When Jack said " Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story." That hit me so hard, because he is the hero. He's the hero with villainous ways, everyone turned on him and they attempted to murder anyone affiliated with the so called villian, only furthering his resolve to purge the "bandits". Of course he had some messed up ways of trying to get to the vault, enslaving Angel, killing vault hunters just trying to make a living, but to me he was so just in these actions, no one thinks what would have happened had he succeeded, he probably would've given angel the universe, make being a bandit like a cowboy outlaw in the 2000's: absolutely absurd.and made the world a utopia. This qoute is probably one of video games most iconic qoutes in gaming history.

Jacks speech from Tales from the Borderlands is still one of my favorite moments in video games

Fighting back the tears. Brilliant job.

Am I the only one who is crying now?

Not bad! Jack's story makes me sad.

So this just kind of illustrates all of my conflicted feelings about Jack. It's like, he is a horrible person, a jackass supreme, but all of this though. Very well done 10/10.

Man poor jack just wanted to save Pandora

This hurts me. SO DEEPLY. UGH.

Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story...

Jack: Ejects a handful of his own men when one is likely a traitor that threatens everyones life on Helios

I grew up on this game. I can’t explain how grateful I am towards gearbox and 2k making such masterpieces. Handsome jack is debatably the best antagonist ever created and they even get you to side with jacks point of view sometimes. I am soooo excited for borderlands 3. I just love this game.

Well thanks to Roland, Moxxi, and Lilith most of all they helped create pandora's biggest villain and my top 3rd favorite villain in all of pop culture .

I always thought that Viva La Vida by Coldplay just suits him soooooooooooooo perfectly

The h in hyperion stands for hero

Handsome Jack: the modern definition of a Shakespearean tragedy.

I've seen this video almost 2 years ago.. and my god it's still incredible to rewatch, it's so tragic and emotional... you can see how good he once used to be and then his turn to pure evil because of everything other people have done to him... and what he became.. this video is a literal masterpiece!

Favorite hero/villain... When I killed him the second time in tales from the borderlands I felt bad watching him plead for us to not kill him... From high on top of the world concerning planets and ruling Hyperion to the bottom and being killed by the new handsome jack
