Destiny 2 The Red War All Cutscenes Reaction 

I really feel bad for anyone who didn’t get to experience the red war. The cutscenes were so good.

R.I.P Lance Reddick, truly a commander behind all the valiant deeds we did!

49:00 Ah, Misraaks, one of my favorite characters in this game. Make sure to remember this Captain. He pops up later in a few spots.

42:18 That screeching gave veteran players a heart attack. It’s the same screech that Omnigul made back in The Dark Below. And in her subsequent appearances. She came back from the dead 2 or 3 times over the course of the first game. A lot of players first thought when hearing that is “YOU AGAIN?! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO KILL YOU?”

Ken's reaction to being called Assistant is hilarious given some of the stuff that happened last season. Suffice to say, hearing that word became very sentimental for a lot of us.

So, just a little clarification on Calus there: He was the Cabal Emperor before Ghaul deposed and exiled him, he's been flying around the galaxy recruiting different forces to his banner to reclaim what he calls his "loyalist empire". That "Royal Wine" made from planetary crust is something he uses to boost his psionic power. The robot at the end is not truly him, just a final challenge for the Guardians to prove themselves so he may extend his invitation to discover that strange power he found, he's actually rather friendly with the guardians, most likely due to their hand in killing Ghaul.

The beginning of the end. The war that kickstarted the rise of the fall.

This is one of the greatest stories in destiny. Being able to roam around in the last city, lightless, while trying to escape. My second Favorite story after Taken King.

RIP Lance Reddick (Zavala's voice actor). You will be sorely missed.

Ghaul gets alot of crap because he failed but what he's done lives rent free in guardians head he had us by the throat and if he didn't want to earn the light he could've easily taken it and showed with such little time he'd be godlike with the light if he had more time to hone it. I love this guy, Rhulk is a close second.

amanda holliday had a brief role in the taken king, she was the one who rigged cayde's stealth drive onto eris morn's ship. She's a pilot as well as the head shipwright of the tower hangar

i real love Ghaul, he is simply an amazing villian. the writing to him was great, and how he would rather be chosen than take by force. just a great level of writing.

A bit about the "I speak for the Traveler, but I never said it spoke to me" line: It's explained in a later dlc in a lore book that there were more than 1 Speaker in the Dark Age. The Traveler didn't "speak" in the normal sense, rather through images and visions. One day, the Last Speaker (the one we see in game) suddenly loses the connection, or he can't "contact" the Traveler anymore. So he scrapped together a crude mask of metal and can suddenly "hear" them again. The mask we see is a better version of it, but apparently the Traveler doesnt speak anymore until that vision of the bird flying through all the random objects in the dream. So him saying that line is basically confirming the idea of a Silent God. The lore book is called "Constellations" if you want to read it.

Ghaul's voice at 11:51 always gives me shivers.

2:04:21 Most fire line in Destiny series

The amount of nostalgia that's hitting me, it hurts that we lost all of this. I really genuinely miss all of this

Wow, 3 hours you guys. You’re incredible, thank you so much for the entertaining content you create.

Still feels weird hearing any voice lines, new or old of Zavala now that Lance has passed away.

That Awoken Amethyst drink looks so good! You never fail to make these reactions fun ❤

You're finally here, Guardians. Welcome to the adventure. You've still got a while till you're caught up, but we're glad you're here.

Heck yeah!!! So excited, thanks guys for sticking with it!

Then we find out in the lore cards that the Cabal..Red Legion had help from one of the Nine. That member of the Nine somehow blocked the early warning sensors (hence Ikora saying the sensors/satellites weren't there and mention possible sabotage) so we had no idea the attack was coming and as a result...we lost the first round along with many Guardians. :( Also 5:46 - 5:50; Shaxx told the Guardian, "Over here Hunter." That shows that they are playing a New Light (aka they didn't play Destiny 1) otherwise Shaxx would have said something like: "Ah Saladin's Young Wolf."

The place Ikora was at, Io, wasn't supposed to have that giant ship in the air by the way. It was there because of a seasonal story that was going on when this person recorded the campaign.

3:04:27 Weird that video didn't show literally next room, where we can see rows of same robot bodies, which Calus using for his "games"

You actually get to see somewhat of a nightmare ghost version of Ghaul and learn more about him and past in a the later seasons. Made me happy because i felt like he was underused in the red war.

36:24 You think the Speaker is being metaphorical about "the light will find it's way." The funny thing is that it's NOT metaphor. The "Light" isn't a metaphor for the goodness of humanity. It's the Traveler's paracausal power, which is to say its powers that allow it to defy the laws of reality. Ghaul believes he can forcibly control the Light, and the Speaker is explaining that the Light can't be controlled. Edit: Specifically, the Light can not be taken. It must be given.

I always forget that despite the game having quite a few flaws at its launch, the story wasn't one of them. I'm also super happy to see you react to the raid, though it would've been great for you two to see the scene that follows the defeat of Emperor Calus, as it explains the reason why you see him as a robot at the end of his fight. One more thing, the Fallen Captain on Titan that let us have the methane reactor is called Mithrax, and he'll be quite important. Anyway, loved your reactions, as always, can't wait to see more! (Also Awoken Amethyst, let's go!!!!!)

Fun fact/coincidence: in the final cutscene, where the light reaches the pyramids there are shown the first 3 destinations added in the DLC in order. Mercury (Curse of Osiris) Mars (Warmind) The Reef (Forsaken)

Thank you for this extended video on the destiny 2 story. Very much enjoyed playing through this. Great opener for destiny. And truly incredible reaction from you both. As always keep being phenomenal. Bethany's expressions when ken started singing sound garden was hilarious.

Just as a friendly little nod, all of the Destiny 2 content has alternate dialog depending on how much of Destiny 1 you have played called the veteran dialog. Which considering your journey I would put you guys in that category and would recommend you watch a compilation of that alternate dialog and see how different if comes across with that.

I've been waiting for this beginning of your guys destiny 2 reactions. You're gonna love all the DLC's and season cinematics this game offers. Can't wait to see it, because the "Red War" was probably one of if not the best pieces of story and cinematic creation for this game.

Wonderful reaction, I'm so glad to see your reactions to Destiny stuff! Also special shoutout to the fallen captain who gave us the reactor... you will eventually see more of him and I can't wait for that! ;)

Those Pyramid ships in that final cutscene sort of act like envoys of The Darkness, the antithesis to The Traveler and it's Light.

Love my man Asher Myr probably my personal favorite planetary character from original D2

It's kinda funny. Your reaction to Asher's attitude and "Assistant" name calling was very similar to ours, now it's kinda heartwarming given the development of the story throughout the seasonal content and major DLC stories. I hope you guys will continue to watch the whole line of different seasons, lore bits, raid dialogue, all of it that leads up to the current season. Plus there is a Final Shape teaser out now, but I highly recommend not watching it until you finish the whole lineup. It makes the teaser hit that much harder.

1:49:34 Unfortunately, your rage will be worse because, for some reason, Asher went into the Pyramidion and jumped into the VEX lake and became a VEX himself to win against a Hive contingent. Eventually, even the VEX found Asher's mind to be a detrimental ally, so they tried deleting him for 100 years, but thankfully, for Guardians, time moves differently so you finally get to see it.

1:40:10 I saw that Bethany. 😂🤣 I hope you guys find the time and eventually react to the other Destiny 2 campaigns. ✌️😁

WOAH wasnt expecting this. Red War is an EXTREMELY underrated campaign imo. Absolutely loved playing it

Put some respect on my man Asher's name! Man's more cantankerous and irritable than most jaded grandfathers, but he got some respectable feats under his belt.

Hadn't played The Red War, but glad I got to kinda experience it with you two. Much love, enjoy your weekend.

Fun fact: The dialogue in the Red War (and I think all the other DLCs but I could be wrong, I don't play on my Veteran account anymore) was different if you had played Destiny 1 on the same account and character. At the start when Shaxx opens the door to the armory for you in the tower, if you had played Rise of Iron in Destiny 1, he calls you "Saladin's Young Wolf" And when you're on Io and see the taken, your Ghost knows what it is instead of saying he doesn't know what the rifts are. Those are the examples I can remember offhand, but there are definitely more! Pretty neat attention to detail.

It’s so cool to see you guys use your drinks to match your video really cool if you guys and shows how much love you put into your vids. We appreciate you guys 😊

Finally!!!!! I'm just starting the video but I'm so excited for you guys to see the red war! such a good story

Really funny when they talk about the mission where the captain gives the guardian the reactor, and they say, "the enemie of my enemie is my friend" thats literally the name of the mission where that happens. I dont know if they know but thats just perfect

Been waiting on the this forever man let's gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for this.

Super excited you guys. I clicked instantly. Your Destiny 2 journey is going to be leaps and bounds more mind blowing and overall informative and crazy than you guys realize. I'll say this. Remember what Calus said.

48:55. Remember this, Mithrax the Eliksni Captain is VERY important.

You know, Its so sad new players cant experience that score when the guardians leaving The City to meet Hawthorne❤😭 it's so beautiful and really pulled me into the mood of the moment.. such great cut scenes and even missions, I was young and remade so many characters just to play the red war campaign over and over lol

I'm still in the first 8 minutes of the video but yes, Ikora is legendary, she has NEVER lost in the Crucible (the guardian vs guardian trainings) and is one of the few guardians ever seen using more than one subclass at the time, she even caused so much damage in her fight with Lord Shaxx (if I'm not mistaken) that he never fully recovered from it. THAT WOMAN IS A BEAST

Ghaul did earn his spot. That's the tragedy of his journey, in his mind he did everything right. He rose from nothing when given a chance to fight for it despite insults and dismissal. He tried his best to bring back his people from disgrace and lethargy despite what they had done to him earlier. He began giving every Cabal the chance to fight for their own freedom instead of being enslaved to an Emperor, hence why he retained Dominus and not Emperor like his old friend wanted. It became why he wanted the Traveler to see him so badly, because he did not get why after all that he has done, it still isn't enough. The people who have the Traveler now can be criminals, or nobodies, and it frustrated him. Hence why it would be failure to just take it for him, because it became a personal judgment of his entire life that he thought he lived righteously by the heritage he was born into.

I'm so glad you're back to Destiny 2 ! Hope you have Fun Ken and Bethany with your continuation in the Destiny universe !

RIP Lance Reddick Amanda was in the D1 stuff you watched briefly. Like in the Taken King scene where Cayde sets up our stealth drive. I dunno if you watched the Zavala origin cinematic but she has a cameo as a child watching the celebrations of finishing the Tower and looking at the spaceship flybys.

Oh it's nice to see you guys reach the Red War, it has one of my favorite villains for the way he manhandles all the guardians. Can't wait to see your reactions to the DLC's and seasons! And his voice line saying that we've simply forgotten the fear of death is so chilling, it makes me miss this campaign so dearly along side the soundtrack called Journey that plays during our first walk without the light After getting to the part where they kill the Knight instead of the Captain the Fallen does a pose with his swords which is a show of respect to the Eliksni if memory serves and speaking of Titan there was a satellite panel you could scan that said the colony of Titan had contact with the Borderlands company Hyperion

If yall want snacks for your drinks with these longer vids, destiny has a cookbook that includes alot of the cookies you can bake in game for the christmas event

Damn this brings back SO much memories.

These two are such Titans. Especially Ken!

Honestly, I absolutely love the question Destiny poses: with your last life, what will you do? With how Cayde-6 and Amanda go, it's the perfect contrast to the legacies they left behind, as both stare at death without hesitation or regret with their last light, in complete defiance of their human nature telling them to run. With the loss of Lance as well, I can only hope that Zavala can find peace as well, hopefully on the otherside with Hakkim, Sofia, Cayde-6, and Holiday in the light.

Lance reddick was such a good voice actor he was there in the start as our commander and friend from destiny 1 to lightfall i hope he is resting in peace,will see you star side you glories bastard!!

Man seeing this brings me back to the good old days, it was so simple back then

SO late watching these for the first time but it's amazing to see this story again after so long! Fun fact for meeting Shaxx at the armory for the first time at 5:48, if you imported your character from Destiny 1, Shaxx refers to you as "Saladin's Young Wolf" in memory of the Rise of Iron DLC back in the first game. Incredible throwback to a title the player could earn that is mostly forgotten by the current players. So glad you guys have fallen in love with this story and can't wait for you to see what comes next after Forsaken! There's a lot of dialogue in the Red War campaign that can change depending on what your character already knows about the history of Destiny.

Dooku Voice: "I've been looking forward to this."

Also a fun fact for Ikora since she is understandably a favorite :) There is a small piece of lore on one of the weapons in Destiny 2 that mentions a story where Ikora and Shaxx fought in the Crucible and she beat him so badly he couldn't sit well for weeks. Shaxx has been running things for hundreds of years and she walked in and reminded him why she's a Vanguard hahaha

Journey playing right at the beginning -chef's kiss-😘

Eyes up guardian! I love how he did the outbreak perfected choice to not kill the captain. He has a pretty sweet set of weapons too

I’m so happy to see this video. Make sure after you react to Forsaken you react to each seasonal release that comes after the expansions. They have major story beats especially when you get to Seasons after shadowkeep and beyond light ESPECIALLY beyond light and after that!

My favorite part of Titan is the GIGANTIC worm thing under the water that swims past the observatory in one of the Dark Sectors (I forgot which one)

Not what I expected to see uploaded today but I am PLEASANTLY surprised

The hawk in the cutscene right after ghoul takes the light is actually the form the traveler takes when it is showing you something. The traveler is currently showing you a vision on how to regain your connection to the light.

1:39:54 Please note that the black triangle thing in the background wasn't a part of the original background until maybe 2 or 3 years later. Before then, it was just the blue sky and Io's landscape.

10:29 Fun fact, there was two of those arms you had to dodge that would go in opposite directions, but one was taken out of the final game. Also on 10:46 I did make a *Destiny x Full Metal Jacket* parody I called Full Metal Destiny 2 where that Die Hard villain sounding voice is replaced with Gunnery Sargent Hartman' lines a while back. At the end is the Arrival of the Evil Doritos Fleet.

Oh god, this is a long one. Still have so much to cover till Final Shape next year. Ghaul and the Cabal he was with, The Consul are really complex characters with rich history. I'm stoked to see you both watch their lore when you eventually do. Also, I feel like you're being a little too harsh on Asher, even when he's not exactly being annoying or wrong lol. Granted we spent more time with him, know his backstory and grew to love him, but I digress. I do absolutely love both of your reaction and banter, and the discussion at the end.

Glad that you’re continuing with Destiny. Trust me the story gets even better. Personally react to the cutscenes done by Gamer’s Little Playground because it’s consistent and the one your reacting to now has weapons and abilities you aren’t supposed to have till the next major part of the story “Forsaken”. Eventually you’ll have to react to the seasons inbetween some of them are important cutscene wise. Some pertaining to that fleet at the end.

You’re very right about Asher. It doesn’t help that the Vex radiolarian fluid is basically constantly torturing him. But yes he is very irritating

I really miss playing The Red War campaign and listening to the beautiful and awesome soundtrack

This is actually when I began playing Destiny, it was so good!

That rat king's crewis an exotic quest, my name is byf has amazing videos on each exotic weapon. ❤

asher mir is actually really cool, hes also super strong and smart as he took on like a whole network of vex and uses them.

The Emperor Calus stuff at the end there is in the raid, just for reference!

Wow! That’s crazy!

I have waited so long Q~Q for this react.

i love that you can tell that this player is not a d1 vet cause of some of the different voince lines its weird to not hear the vetran voice lines

12:57 oh hey the piramid fleet, how crazy

Love the Destiny reacts 😀

Ahh, the Red War, lots of memories flooding back. Sad that it's not available anymore, amongst other content sadly. Nice to take a trip down memory lane!

Great to finally see you entering into Destiny 2. few things to note This recording was done shortly before the Beyond Light expansion, so there are a few world events active that technically weren't there during the game launch. As well as a few changes to the world over all. hopefully you guys have a good source for the next few expansions, narratively speaking...the Curse of Osiris and Warmind expansions are...kind of weak. Year 2 during the Forsaken expansion is when things kick off, that was the introduction of the true seasonal model - which there were actually story elements to each season. Not sure if Gamer's Little Playground did videos for those, but honestly you might want to look and see if MyNameIsByf did videos for the seasons. although, someone can correct me if im wrong but i dont think the seasonal stories actually made much of a narrative impact until Year 3, after Shadowkeep, that is when the seasonal stories started tying into the main story itself (its also when i personally got back into destiny 2, having skipped all of year 2 stuff). Hopefully discord has helped you guys locate videos for all the seasonal stuff (there are actual important story elements at the end of year 3 and year 4 onward) Edit: long post getting longer Regarding Emperor Calus- to that part was from the Raid that came with launch, Calus becomes MUCH MUCH more important later. Without spoiling anything though this is why i personally feel it is really important to get full story context starting from Shadowkeep onawrd- most especially concerning Savathun (whom has been referenced a few times) and Emperor Calus (whom you've now been introduced to) :)

Man, this is giving me flashbacks, I've missed old expansion for Destiny 2.

3 hours ??? Love you guys 😩🙌

This guardian could have prevented all this tragedy if he had aimed that mountaintop at gary's ship... Also, Asher was a fucking g always roasting everyone what a chad we miss him

11:52 Ghaul was so fu*king badass shame most new players today never witnessed his story

are you guys going to do the season stories as well since they connect to the expansions?

36:00 What's interesting about "the Light" is that while it's typically portrayed as a positive force, there are plenty of Guardians throughout their history who have done "bad deeds" with the Light. It ultimately is a tool that can be used to whatever ends the user so desires. So, while your metaphor somewhat applies here, it's interesting that it also somewhat does not.

A lot of people rag on this campaign, I loved it. It was a fresh start after D1 not really having a campaign up until TTK, and even that wasn't anything compared to what they've done with D2. But one of the greatest lines in gaming comes when the captured Speaker is talking with Ghaul about sacrifice. I look forward to watching your reaction when I'm through with adult responsibilities today. 2:53:18 They actually did have a racing event in Destiny 1, but they have 0 plans to bring it to Destiny 2. Most of the fans have been asking for it to be a permanent fixture, or at least a yearly seasonal event, since they had the event in D1. But seeing as how that's about 8 years ago at this point, I'm afraid our pleas are falling on deaf ears. There's a really nice video by NovemberHotel -"Destiny 2 - What Happened to Sparrow Racing" if you want more info. But it basically just highlights the problem Bungie has had for years, they no longer make content for the players, they push content for investors.

46:44 HOLY CRAP IT'S "MYTHRAX THE FORSAKEN"!!! He's my favorite character, and I believe he'll be your favorite character also. Short story, as POW to the Reef Awoken, he had no choice but to work with Sjur Eido(one of Queen Mara's generals) to retake the Reef. On multiple occasions, he tried committing suicide but Eido was always there to save him. Eido's kindness to him is one of many reasons that the Mythrax(or Missracks in his native language) is inspired to assist the Guardians.

I still remember when me and my friends played the beta for the first time, feels like yesterday

Interesting think to note about Devrim and Hawthorne, Devrim and his husband Marc adopted Hawthorne when she was a kid, she was a orphan. As you can gather from the dialogue, she was a pain in ass for Devrim as a kid. 😂😂

I won’t lie, The Ghost Primus (Ghaul) sure knows how to make an entrance

I can’t wait for you two to react to the next DLCs and the seasons so many twists and turns.

Journey hits hard...

It's funny seeing the power creep. The boss fight with ghaul was fairly tough when it first came out. But dude has little problem with him
