WOLFENSTEIN 2 The New Colossus - Killing Father Scene / Dad Scene 

"Was a time I was scared of you. Was a time I'd pissed myself having a gun pointed at my head. You know what I feel right now? Not a god damned thing." I can't even say how bad-ass that is.

Dad: You broke your mother's heart!! BJ: Where is she? Dad: Well, I sold her out.

He's racist, He's sexist, He killed his dog, He abused his son, He sold out his wife to the Nazis, this scene was definitely one of the best in the game.

in a game filled with nazis, this dude manages to be the most evil character in the game

You slash his arm off and he doesn't even scream in pain. He must really have no feelings.

I love that the devs knew everyone was going to hate BJ's father, and they wouldn't let the game end without you getting a chance to kill him.

One of the best cutscenes of the generation.

*“You know what I feel now? Not a goddamn thing.”*

It's possible Rip was jealous of his son, BJ. Rip tried to be a successful businessman, and even used his wife's family fortune to fund it. He failed at this and would never listen to her or anyone's advice when they insisted that he stop. Rip instead blamed everything on his family. As for BJ, he grew up and joined the military; BJ rose up to the rank of captain and served for his entire adult life and received much recognition for it. However Bj did it not for fame or profit, but for the safety of society.

4:32 flawless transition. 4:36 it has that Bethesda feel

The way B.J was acting so calm throughout his father's speech is just amazing! Listening to the music building up, I expected him to freak out and attack the old man, or at least shout him down, like they do in pretty much every other scene like this.

As someone with abusive parents who do nothing but justify their wrongdoing- this scene was incredibly cathartic

The only good memory he had with his dad, was when they went down into the basement with shotguns and looked for ghosts. That one, single, decent memory. The rest was pure abuse.

moral of the story murder wont change what happend but it will make you feel better about it

"not a goddamn thing" that was so fucking metal i cant even hold back screaming

A word of wisdom from a mercenary pirate lord. 'He may be father. But he's not your daddy.'

Jesus, rip is such a hypocrite and a poor excuse of a father. Even Darth Vader was a better dad, and HE redeemed himself in the end of "return of the Jedi".

Damn Dr. Phil is a pretty good voice actor

2:53 i love this detail. he abused and sold zofia out, but still claims bj “broke her heart” by leaving, he’s just desperately throwing half-baked arguments out in hope of winning because he’s so insanely wrong

Best part about this game after this scene is how BJ doesn’t even show any remorse or mention it at all after it’s happened. He just sees his dad as another Nazi asshole he’s killed.

Now here's some damn attention to detail! They actually made two versions of this cutscene for the game, the ONLY difference is that Rip either does or doesn't have the scar on his cheek from when you hit him with the vase at the beginning of the game!

2:03 "What are ya, some super killer terror bomber now?" *Well yes accutally*

The fact that they showed up one good memory in the basement, just before we face him is just brilliant. It gets to show the way a kid grows appreciation for their father, no matter what, and it makes us think he might have been actually not that bad. They he destroys our expectations in the next scene. Just... LIKE A REAL DAD!

Damn.. reminds me of my Dad. Well havent seen him in nearly 20 years.. talked to him in about 3. This actually got to me.

The way he says "Daddy, I'm your son" kinda ripped me to shreds.

I can't help but imagine Dr. Phill every time I hear B.J's dad talk.

With the family background he has, no wonder Blaskowitz has issues.

used to think this guy was a cartoon character. Having met people like BJ's father now, it hurts how real this guy is.

When he said daddy I'm your son. I cried. He said daddy like a kid. 😢

If Hollywood is going to try and make another video-game movie, it should be Wolfenstein. Also, they need to recreate this scene word for word.

I can’t help but notice how calm and quiet Blazkowicz was right up until things got violent. He didn’t shout back at Rip, he didn’t argue back with his agreement with the Nazi regime, he didn’t react to Rip blaming him for his own abuse, he even tried to reason with him to put the gun down, even after learning his mother’s fate. I think after fighting the Nazis for most of his adult life, Blazkowicz had long since moved on from his traumatic past and decided that what Rip did to him no longer mattered. He barely even looks at his father unless it’s his turn to speak. The monster that haunted his nightmares doesn’t scare him anymore. He even looks somewhat smug when Rip points the gun at him, that’s how little power he now had over him.

I was actually hoping BJ would repay a few of the favors his father gave to him when he was a kid.

Rip is a horrible human being. Horrible excuse for a man, a husband, a father, and a friend. He blamed all his failures and unprincipled savagery on other people. He schemed and caused so much treachery yet he believes he's absolutely right and that everyone was against him. Someone who refuses to see the terrible errors of his ways is a true monster.

"Daddy I'm your son..." God. That hit me. The soft voice Crack. The final plea for some kind of peaceful resolution. Sent me into an emotional whirlwind. My father was incredibly similar to this. Sometimes, he still can be. A narcissistic man, as well as his wife. Things are better now, my parents and I talk. But talks like this... The condescendtion and lack of empathy. I had a similar experience to this thought no exaggerated circumstances. He was my biggest bully. The one who put fear into me, talked down to me, yelled and beat me, got in my face and kept up that veil of dominance. I remember one day as he was spitting words in my face, threatening me as he pushed his chest into mine I stood up at eye level and told him. "do it then. You've been threatening me for years. Would that make you feel better? Would you finally feel like the bigger person? Because nothing you can do to me will last forever. But it will be something you'll answer for one day." I remember the look from both of them. I remember that mix of hatred, fear, and the relief of finally saying something. Still lives with me despite all the years.

"He didn't die brutally enough" "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Neitzche

Terror Billy's absolute joy at finding his mother's ring intact makes this whole scene.

He looked like Stalin..

“You know, my whole life I thought you were a monster. Looking at you now, I see you’re something less than that: a failed businessman who couldn’t sell one fucking electric toothbrush, so he sold out his wife and kid instead.”

General Shepherd is Williams dad

You know, it really says something about this guy that, after he gets his arm chopped off and an ax planted in his heart, most of the comments here are complaining that his death wasn't brutal enough. Easily the most satisfying moment in the game.

I have an abusive father, and somehow this scene gives me satisfaction I cannot explain

Rip’s actor deserves a fucking award for best antagonist performance, god Jesus he destroyed his role

every cut-scene in the Wolfenstein re-boot is freaking awesome. great dialogue, great voice-acting, great animations, great camera angles... and all this comes together perfectly, to really trasmit the weight and the emotions of each and every situation

I thought BJ'd have killed him in the flashback.

He seemed to be a good man... But well.. he is not

Brian Bloom's voice breaking as he talks to Glenn Morshower in this scene makes it... "I wanted you to treat me like I mattered." That makes this entire fucking scene

4:18 coolest line ever

Shepherd be wild with his beard and hair huh 💀

The irony of his father saying "White mans gotta keep it Christian" before doing something very observably unchristlike is not lost on me.

This guy was evil, however, unlike most Wolfenstein villains, his persona was realistic, his acts were realistic, this kind of people, this kind of "fathers", do exist in real life. That is why this scene hit the most. It was realistic.

I think the worst part is he’s been telling himself those lies so much he believes them

For anyone who grew up in an abusive household, this is extremely cathartic

Never felt so good about killing someone in a game

Say what you want about this game, this scene is on a whole new cinematic level. Further blurs the line between cinema and gaming. So emotional and powerful

"Daddy im your son" The cracks in his voice hurts more than a shot to the head.

Scenes with abusive dads like that make me appreciate my father even more and I'm grateful I was lucky cause you never get to choose.

Bj's dad didn't die, he went onto be a general for America in 2022

"Daddy i'm your son..." That part always gets me. He knows his dad is a piece of shit but still even now wanted it to somewhat work out. Too bad his dad is such a paranoid racist piece of shit that only thinks of himself. His dad got what he deserved...

Before I killed the guy, I muttered "This is for Bessie..."

"He may have been your father boy. But he wasn't your daddy." - Yondu, Guardians of the Galaxy 2

No matter how much I watch this, I still get goosebumps whenever he says "You know what I feel right now? Not goddamn thing."

"And raised a boy into a murderer." Yeah, because strapping your son's arms to a table, put a shotgun to his hands and try to force him to kill his dog because it was protecting him from you had absolutely nothing to do with it.

most satisfying scene in the whole series

“Run off to the army as soon as you come of age. Broke your mother’s heart.” He says that, as if what he did by selling her out to the Nazi’s wasn’t far worse…

"And whats that queer outfit your wearing" 😂😂😂😂

When did you ever do right by me? I got diabetus! And whats that queer suit your wearing? Its my super soldier suit dad! Its a big deal with and my rebel friends!

You know what the sad part is? People like BJ's dad exist everywhere in the world and to this very day and I mean like straight up shitty father's who do what he did to his family and to his pet. What's even sadder is sometimes the son's wind up inheriting that kinda personality from their father's either through admiration, or to take their frustrations out the same way on someone else...hell possibly even both. With that thought in my mind, it made it feel so good in this game to see BJ finally give his dad the revenge he deserves....well with the sacrifice of his old body in the process afterwards but hey that was gonna collapse on itself anyway since it was practically killing him from the inside. Not that I condone a son/daughter murdering ones parents of course but in this game with this specific character, his dad definitely had it coming from his previous actions.

“There was a time I was afraid of you” “A time when I’d have pissed myself, to have a gun put to my head” “You know what I feel now?” _”Not a goddamn thing”_ My god how badass can one man be. I see so much of my own father in Rip

3:16 I love this side angle of Rip here. It's like an evil propaganda poster, and it helps that he looks very much like Stalin. It suits how much of an absolute _fuck_ he is

"You know what I feel right now, not a Goddamn thing."...EPICCC

it's actually saddening how blazkowicz his dad is the most evil character in a game filled with nazis that commited the most brutal crimes

Now if only this scene had Guts killing his adoptive father with the Dragonslayer sword.

I never want to become like Blazkowiczs' father, I'm glad my dad was not like that.

3:30 what a disgraceful living pure evil creature monster like him, what he done his own son and her own Wife.

Honestly, he deserved worse... I wouldn't mind a little torture scene where player could get creative in making this asshole meet his maker

Doomguy is related to bj no wonder hes so strong

This game... my god, this game... Was SO FUCKING amazing. The cinematics the story the gameplay. All flawless. I laughed, cried and bout shit myself at parts lol. I wish they could make this into a TV series or a movie so more people could appreciate this amazing story.

The reboot General Shepherd is voiced by the same voice actor as Rip.

the satisfaction when you get to kill the old bastard... it did seem very lack luster however... i was hoping for a better revenge..

If this guy was a good father, then I’m mother fucking Santa Claus!

I love when games like this can have some of the most serious and emotional cutscenes in gaming history. And this is one of the few games where EVERYBODY ignored a little annoyance, like the cutscene pausing for more than a few seconds to continue to the next. That pause could easily be forgivable because it’s such a good game

Hands down most cowardly character in ever of existence

"I ain't been down here in nary a decade." Literally the nicest thing Rip has ever said.

I can understand that BJ's dad is trying to teach him that life is cruel and he must be tough to its cruelty but damn it, dude, that is so wrong to teach your son the cruelty of life by making him kill his own dog

“And I garan-god damn-tee you” I love that

And he now voices general shepherd. Glenn really does despicable villains well

Sat down with a bag of Doritos watching this scene. My day has been made

The voice actor for his dad is so good. He also played General Sheperd in the new MW2

In a game with ruthless Nazis, where crimes against humanity are a common sight, somehow BJ's father is the most evil character.

do you know what i feeld when i killed him " Not a god damned thing."

I love how you can sense the feat in Rip if you listen closely. Trying his best to talk down to his son, trying to bring back that fearful child that he could take down in an instant, but he knew none of it was going to work. He knew the man his son had become. A soldier who was tougher than any Nazi out there. One who fought Nazis with cybernetics and were larger than bears and a a thousand times more deadly. He knew he wouldn’t make it. He knew that his gun was as useful as a slingshot aimed at a tank. His only option was to howl the people he allowed to turn him into their lapdog. And in the end, though it work, it was only a temporary Pyrrhic victory, because though his son was beheaded, like Phoenix he came back, calling upon the fires of revolution. Now, the only real victory afforded to him upon post-mortem… meant nothing. He truly meant nothing. Nothing to be remembered by. The Nazis never cared for him and he left his son no reason to give a damn. No one to tell his tale. Once his son truly does die, he will be gone for good. No memories. No stories. No mention in a newsletter. The only thing that he had gained was that he lived and died in the same house that only held so much pain. More for him than for who he left behind.

And from this moment forth for about an entire hour the one thing you're going to be repeating to yourself is "what the fuck is going on?!"

The rage Bill had in his voice when talking to his dad is just perfect

The guy who voiced him is Overlord from Modern Warfare......let that sink in.

His daddy sounded just like a member of a certain orange political party.

Rip literally ignoring how completely fucked he is for the whole scene, seeing as Blazko is literally twice his size and built like a fucking dinosaur

Oh, how it feels so good to be relieved of all those horrifying memories!

Damn that was some Tarantino's "shut up and sit your ass down" kind of a moment

Rest In Pieces Blazkowicz

What also makes the scene so disturbing is that his father is so set in his ways that he believes every fucking world coming out of his mouth while the rest of us think he sounds absolutely insane.
