Destiny 2 Lore - Launch Trailer, Thoughts, Reaction & Break down 

Big than🎉 to everyone commenting on this video 🎉 I really appreciate you all. I forgot how nice it is to discuss the lore together without a script.

The traveler moving in front of Zavala makes me think of the cutscene where it came out of the ground when the Precursor’s found it

The veiled figure is holding a shard of light like a metaphors for the traveler being broken.

This has all been a Vex simulation...thanks for playing. 😂

6:00 remember the cutscene where mara acted funny with riven? "until we meet again, mara" 11:10 Red War Radio: "I am the door / I open onto the void / One day, the masters will come through / And then, you will know." Somewhere, a veil is always lifting. / Somewhere, Kabr is always dooming himself. Listen. In the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster. Pierce the Lightless void beyond the northern skies and meditate in the hissing silence. Or do nothing. We are everywhere and nowhere at once. If you don’t see us, you’re not thinking small enough. Ghost Fragments: Legends 2: The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster. "who is savathun you ask? you already know, o' guardian mine." The clever-looking old lady at the desk looks up. "Ah," she says. "Lavinia! You made it." "Wh-" Lavinia gasps. "Wha-" She smiles, as if Lavinia's confusion is the sweetest greeting she's ever heard. "Don't be afraid. You've come to exactly the right place." "Where...?" "Someplace where you're appreciated. Where we can really use everything you've learned." The old lady pours a thin stream of tea into a cup of bone. "Didn't I tell you that you were lucky, back when you were born?"

It's worth pointing out a horrifying fact; the statues that are associated with/ created by the Witness are still alive inside. Frozen and twisted, but conscious for eternity.

One minor thing I'd like to bring attention to with the guitar eliksni is that although he's a dreg, he hasn't gotten his bottom arms docked, this is a really good sign of things improving for the eliksni of house light

The apple seems like a nod to the garden apple. The beginning of free will but showing the apple getting affected by the final shape looks like taking away the universes free will by enacting the final shape. Don't know if I should've worded it better

Yes haha I was waiting on an analysis from you for this

At 18:36 that looks like Cayde's gauntlet, his gauntlet has a metal ring around the wrist and you can just barely see the gold diamond pattern on the cuff. Ikora's is too big and too many layers of leather and it's missing the metal ring and Zavala's is a chunky piece of metal I think it's Cayde witnessing the funeral his fireteam held during Forsaken and confronting the situation of his own death.

Love your stuff, but maybe rethink the frame by frame discussion. “And here is Mara’s hand. Look at her weird hand”

Garuantee that figure is the gardener. If you go back to the DSC titan mark it's similar to what saint saw and the old concept art trailer Bungie had. I also will keep imploring people to check out the lore page brass gardeners. Read it carefully and think about what it is saying. I'm glad Byf got to Venextrons video and is making the distinction between the witness and winnower alot clearer but brass gardeners to me is the final key. Majestic, majestic is just as key as O,____ mine for ahamkara. Everything that has to do with Majestic points to the winnower and in brass gardeners where the witness is called an anomaly, the black heart is called an anomaly from a seed planeted. What removed this anomaly? Is a majestic thorn. The guardians are the ultimate followers of the sword logic and that shows itself in that titan mark from DSC. She's(the gardener/veiled woman) been dissapointed in how much we've been like our father(winnower) she hopes that we'll take after her some day. The winnower only ever calls himself or us majestic majestic.

16:06 we go back to the vimeo story from 2014. The traveler is coming. Everything you know is about to change. So. If they do not offer you a spot at the campfire. If they call you naïve. If they dislike your complaints about the casual violence of the casually violent. If they quote from the Unveiling texts, tell you how the Gardener lost because it always stopped to offer peace, and the Winnower always struck-then ask who they would rather sit by at the fire: Gardener or Winnower. Then ask them if they would like to live in a universe where no one ever sits beside anyone else at the fire. Never forget that even in the miserable logic of the prisoner's dilemma, it is the cooperators who create the best world. Two cooperators will score higher, together, than two defectors ever could. A world of cooperators would defeat a world of defectors if the defectors could only be kept away from the cooperators' bounty. Imperious Sun Shell: (read the entire entry again) Who is She? Who is They? (you and I both know) ALSO ABOUT THE GLASS: MARA: Last night, I had a dream. [I sat up straight.] MARA: It began in nothing. Neither Light nor Dark; the absence of both. But in that nothing, I began to perceive an impossible something. MARA: Stone hands clutching at the fabric of the sky. A mountain of screaming bone. A crumbling spire choked by kudzu. A great cancerous growth. Necrotic tendrils digging into flesh, which was earth. Darkness turned gangrenous, strangling the Light. MARA: But I was not afraid. As I woke, I felt the lingering warmth of a campfire, chasing the chill from my hands. [She leaned forward. Though I was the one who recorded her words, I believe she was speaking to you.] MARA: It is not too late.

Psalm Lab, Subscribed because your content is fantastic!

Seems more like Lightfall than Lightfall. This is terrifying, and I'm all here for it. The sense of urgency is real, and I'm genuinely unsure if destiny is going to be the same after this expansion. Imagine if the damage done to earth is permanent.

6:10 anyone gonna talk about how the portal looks like it also has been sliced?? Also at 17:55 that gauntlet looks more like Andal's rather than Ikora's. I hope this is a memory of Andal, I'd hate to see Ikora go.

I am going to flip out if savala becomes a disciple and is a middle of the raid boss 😬

Love the way everyone is grasping for meaning in every frame. Bungo are famous for smoke and mirrors in trailer materials. Even the ones who got two days in Seattle a couple of weeks ago seem to have been gagged as far as narrative is concerned. There's more NOT here than we know. The witness species is going to be central to the story as that's civilisation is the culture that has driven obsessively towards a Final Shape. They've committed everything to be at this point. "no more pieces to play!" to paraphrase. There's going to be a lot of material for lore bodies to plough through for the next few months. Bad shit is coming but the bad ass guardians are up to sorting it.

Its cayde looking at his owm body

4:30 i want this to happen
