Saying Maya deserved better would be a massive understatement
Most definitely she shouldn’t have died in the first place could have just been Lilith and then maya would take her place
Lonely Punk let’s hope krieg kills her in his upcoming dlc
They could've just killed Lilith but nooooo, they had to kill all the current sirens
Why not kill less important characters like aurelia
They could’ve just taken away her powers and the plot could’ve been the same without her death but nope let’s kill my favorite character
"Don't worry big guy, I'll be back. I promise." 😭😭😭😭😭
Poor krieg😢😢😭
Nick Jelley so true, rip maya and kriwgs feelings!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Emojis ew
Uh.. ı think borderlands 3 never happend in my world and maya and kriegs feelings are alive lilith alive, hammerlock is still a hunter and gaige looking for him to love her, and axton is not model that face of his on pillows. Everything is okay
@@halitsoyler9832 u wish but sadly thats far off from reality
She wast my favourite character and they just killed her off and played her memorial as a joke.
yeah, I mean, Roland has pretty much the whole DLC dedicated to his death... and Maya's death... gearbox is like... so what? She dead aaand...? What are WE supposed to do with that?!
Which made Tiny Tina actually a likable character to me, @@Arsiana.
@@adamgray1753 i cried in her dlc, when she breaks down at the end,
Yep, @@PablitaOrtega77. Roland's death was pretty harsh. It was rather nice to find out that Tiny Tina's behavior is overall a defensive mechanism rather than her true personality.
@@adamgray1753 i know right??? such good writing, in such a silly game, it was genius. in bl3 so far, i like timothy in the dlc, he has been trought a lot
"Speak, Maya. Speak." "Um... Hi." I felt that in my soul. "The monks taught me to respect silence so that combat could be even more invigorating. They were wrong as hell."
Look all I'm saying is that if we all pretend that Borderlands 3 doesn't exist, then Maya is technically not dead
Big brain mode
true true
Everyone bl3 isn't real wake up from your nightmare
Also we don't have Ava..... win win.
Or we could ignore the main story and make the handsome jack dlc the main plot for bl3. My boi timothy finally gets the happiness he deserves
I think the part that hurt the most about her death is that the writing made it feel like they felt it was justified and earned the same way Roland's was, when in reality, it couldn't have been as impactful unless she was alongside Lilith from the beginning. Roland's made you feel something because he was with you from the time you busted him out of prison to the second he got shot through the chest. Lilith was in the story of 3 long enough to get the shard and then she was dead. All she was there to do was fill in the gap between 2 and 3 and lore dump Ava onto everyone. Even after she died, there was hardly the same kind of reflection for her that you got to experience with Roland. One of my favorite parts of Borderlands 2 is how much weight it put on character deaths. You could feel Roland was gone when you got back to Sanctuary and heard every person in town talk about how much he had done for them. All Maya got was an awkward memoriam from Tannis, Lilith had almost nothing to say and Ava solidified her position as the worst character in the series by screaming at Lilith about how it's her fault she's dead, even though it was 100% on Ava. It feels like they killed Maya just because 2 and Tales killed off major characters too.
Fax
i hate Ava as much as anyone, but it is Lilith and Maya's fault Lilith doesn't tell Maya about the power of the calypsos why even send Maya, when you know the power sucking siren is coming,? why even open the vault, when the plan of the calypso is too.... open the vault? lilith can't keep an eye on a 12 years old girl? yes vault hunter, go inside the vault, leave me alone here so i can get attacked? seriously Maya? also the 5 minutes of monologue from Tyreen, no one does anything? Roland death was much more impactfull, because as you say, he was more fleshed out, we saw his interaction with the other vault hunters and they felt like a family, he was not just a catchphrase spewing badass. and he did is best, he made good choices and died despite that, there is nothing we could have done better. while Lilith and everyone else in Borderland 3 acts like they want the calpyso to win, even though the stupid twins explain their plans to them everytime,...
I didn't play tales but who died there?
CSGOLegendary Gaming scooter
@@deadpooldope oohhh yeah I forgot he died it's been a while since I've been in the lore side of borderlands (or even the game side).
She didn't even have much of a story they just killed her off
SPOILERS WARNING MAYBE!?!?!?
@@gamerprince-tl5hg the games been out for months
@@gamerprince-tl5hg this is a lore video that specifically says how, why, and where maya died. If you dont wanna be spoiled then why the fuck watch this?
@@lolphie8493 I just started playing the Borderlands series and wanted to learn about her because i chose her in borderlands 2... didn't expect something like this.
@@gamerprince-tl5hg it's generally known now for everyone that played borderlands. Funny actually, when I first saw Maya die I didn't care much since I never played borderlands 2, proves that they never fleshed out Maya in borderlands 3.
Maya was my first playthrough character and I love her personality and voice acting. After watching this video, I kinda understand what gearbox trying to archieve through Ava but it was done so horribly none of their intention matters now.
Mayas death was one of the worst scenes in BL3
I don’t think I’ll ever understand why she was killed off. She was in the story for such a small amount of time, then all of a sudden she’s dead and the memorial they give her sucked. It’s almost as if they really just wanted to get rid of her character for whatever reason and this was the best they could come up with. Only two options I see here that would please the fans is either 1) Maya is not actually dead or 2) Kill off Ava in a similar shitty way since literally nobody likes her.
The only reason to kill her off was to shoehorn Ava getting siren powers into the story. They probably have other plans for the sirens and did not have better options (in their mind).
Gearbox really fucked up big time with Borderlands 3, terrible storyline, terrible characters interaction, lots of plot holes, overused cringe live streaming jokes, lots of cut content that should work better than the base game was, etc etc while the gunplay combat and skill were quite the improvement from BL2. But still though, fuck I missed Anthony Burch writing style humor and plot in Borderlands, he might be an asshole but his talent is much better than Gearbox incompetent lead writer that don't know how to write a plot. And fuck, I regret buying BL3 on launch day fuck me!!
@@White_Tiger93 Gearbox made the critical error thinking popular culture= beloved culture Streaming is popular but it is not beloved. Learned this from hotdiggedydemon's emoji movie braindump, and Borderlands 3 has ALOT of popular yet not beloved cultural references.
The memorial in the deleted scene was so much better. She had a proper funeral and Ava wasn't a little shit.
my personal vote is an off screen death for Ava.
Well kreig is gonna bring the calypsos back to life just to kill them for killing Maya
*krieg noises*
SALT THE WOUND STRIP THE FLESH AHHAHAHAHA I AM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAAAIN
The story was so badly developed that they even took revenge away from him.
Well lads we are in his mind so what is stopping to murder them indefinetly. And live happily with her in his mind. :( that's sad. I'm sad. :( :(
I enjoyed the dlc. But i do wish we had been able to fight the calypso's once again.
It sounds like a great backstory right up until Ava shows up, then it just stops. Ava is like that turd stuck in the toilet bowl, it suddenly showed up and no matter what you do it just won't flush.
Bruh I love the analogy😂
True dat
Until you piss on it
Talk about tina, she was shit on bormal campaign and she got accuracy and damage buff on DLC and ava hasnt got any dlc yet, so fuck off m8
@@dawidek8237 are you on crack? Wtf are you saying
I don't believe how they just killed her off like that and then they never adress her death or advance the story through it. It was just an unnecessary death.
Imagine how it will be for Kreig when/if he finds out
Agreed they should've built it up and let characters and players feel the impact Sure having feelings. Is like super weak btw. Especially for borderlands. But it makes the world feel real a little bit.
It was only necessary to pass her powers on to Ava besides that it was unnecessary
It’s been rumoured she’s gonna be revived
ava got powers, calypso dead, krieg returning....literally of it advances the story
I really liked playing as Maya in Borderlands 2, I'm sadden that she's gone, like, forever.
she isn't gone, she's just ava's class mod now
Nah she is coming back
@@jnaples6307 dude, did you not play the game?, she's dead, d-e-a-d, dead, she ain't coming back.
Paul Jordan amara is sorta just better maya
@@pauljordan0203 no no after the hate she is receiving from the community gearbox has to bring her back using the timekeeper as a trojan horse

Maya.....such a pretty lady...
she turned around for krieg...
Not as pretty as Brick. For he is the prettiest siren
Maya is one of my favorites
same
I requested Krieg Krieg is War & Maya is Peace
Was* *cough*
Yah...... I'm stilled depressed
@@hightechblanket9909 yeah me too :( fuck ava
I hope they flesh out Zane's background a bit more, especially his younger years
Same here. I would love to hear more of his opinions about the earlier Vault Hunters, particularly the ones who killed off his brothers.
@@adamgray1753 we killed both os brothers, and his nephew, and it never comes up
@@PablitaOrtega77 Other than Zane comments it that the brothers tried to kill him multiple times, and "see who outlived them all" or something along those lines. I kind of get that he's not really fond of his brothers, so he's not too sad about that. He tells this when he saves Hammerlock in the main story.
@@MUNMOMUU this is were the presequel was great, the npc often talked differently to each vault hunter, aknowledging their backstory and relationship.
This is the only time in fiction I want a character to come back to life.
Troy: * Fucking kills Maya Kreig’s inner voice: Ok, what’s the plan for this guy? Kreig: TEAR OUT HIS ORGANS THROUGH HIS URETHRA WITH RUSTY GARDEN TOOLS!!!!! Kreig’s inner voice: Good plan but first register him to a new-u station so you can repeat it. Troy realizing how bad he done fucked up: Bro we can talk about this! Kreig: *Animialistic screaming
I really liked the moment where Maya read Tannis' note and her response was "I'm attractive?" I don't know why that hit me so much. She's had Kreig simping for her for the whole game but hearing it from someone else kinda confirmed she isn't just attractive to psychos and give her a well deserved boost in ego, especially since she probably didn't get much direct praise back on Athenas
GEARBOX for God's sake just find a way to bring Maya back i don't care how 😫😭
@Cookie Cat for the love of god please
We never got an explanation for where the Vault of the Traveler takes people. Maybe THAT's how they bring Maya back.
if time travel won't happen, maya could probably return as a siren spirit that mentors ava. and also secretly tortures ava in her sleep for indirectly causing her death.
The last siren power. Resurection. She dead for ever. :(
If they were gonna bring her back they would have gave more of a shit in the story
I would be fine with maya’s death if Troy ACTUALLY went with the full betrayal route at the end of the story and didn’t just die off. Her death didn’t seem like it was as important as it should have been because of that and it should have impacted the remainder of the story a lot more than it did, which I think that’s what gearbox was trying to go for, but they just handled the last quarter of the story sooooo badly
I would disagree with you on that because I feel like it would've not only made mayas death even more pointless but mad lilith losing her powers pointless, and the whole reason that Troy is on pandora. Ik the story is burning dogshit but betraying his sister would be adding more garbage to a dumpster fire.
Actually i agree. If troy had gone bretrayal route it would have been a better story first and maya death would be the reason lf the betrayal since that thanks to it he can survive without tyreen
@@nikeonnk but what would that leave lilith? She lost her powers in the beginning and that would been a waste of a cutscene if we disregard it by killing Tyreen. Also it's clear Tyreen is more powerful than Troy so Troy would most likely due if he tried to betray her.
You really screwed the pooch, GearBox.
Correction, a damn gorgeous pooch
I just realised now: what if the archaeologist on Pandora that Maya talks about in her ECHO recording where she tells Sophis that she wants to leave, was Tannis? That somehow didn't occur to me before
Yes, I thought so, it was Tannis. Tannis is one of the first archeologists on Pandora when Dahl send them (based from ECHO records on BL1)
I'm also gonna add to the "do Krieg next" especially since we might be having the 4th DLC about him, but I also want to have one on Zane and the Flynt family. It's interesting to me that they have included the Flynt family so strongly in the game. But I might be just little biased since Krieg and Zane are the mains from 2 and 3. ;) Anyway, you do awesome work with these videos.
Too bad Maya and Lilith can't become Siren Spirits like Obi-wan and Luke Skywalker became Force Spirits...
I‘ve been thinking about that as well, or maybe if there was a place where the souls of sirens go after their death. I dont really care anymore, just bring Maya back ffs.
They should just bring all the sirens back. I love them.
We don't know that... Yet...
Oh that's a good idea.
Well there is a sliver lining in dlc 4 spoilers btw her memories and maybe part of her soul were transferred to Kreig by her final echo log based on dialogue when you speak to her so she's sort of a sprit but only in krieg's mind
Damn man, I wish Salvador and Axton were in bl3 so we could’ve seen them plus Zer0’s reactions to Maya’s death.
I feel so sorry for Krieg. Please do a history of Krieg next, it's only fitting enough for these two Borderlands lovers
i think krieg's history will have to wait until borderlands 3's dlc 4 is released. since gearbox hinted that krieg will be a main char in that dlc.
@@kukuhimanputraraharja8084 couldn't agree more
I could imagine only brick would be the one capable of giving the news cause I think Krieg would attack them out of rage on accident it makes me feel sad for the guy
Seeing how bratty and spoiled Ava was, ESPECIALLY with blaming Lilith for Maya's death, makes me think of this one scene in Cautious Hero. Wherein the titular character confronts a young hot-headed general that only got her position because her dad was the king, and points out that she led her troops to bloodthirsty demons with no chance of victory DEMANDING an honorable fight. In other words, the demons didn't kill her troops, she did. As such, she tries to punch him, only to get slapped in the face HARD. Here's a link to the gif: tenor.com/view/seiya-shinchou-yuusha-anime-slap-self-defense-gif-15606117 The reason I bring this up is because I would like to have something similar in-game, where after saying Lilith got Maya killed and ran off, you could confront her, slap her in the face (melee button) and have a character-specific line point out that Maya died protecting her when she wasn't supposed at the vault in the first place.
Arthur Animordonuts one Question can I choke her
Why,why did she have to die?Maya was such a good character.Krieg has been staying in a cave all this time for Godsake.This is all Ava's fault!
Her death is unfortunate but now I think about it watching this video she may have known how to pass down her powers to Ava as her plan for her. And when she first met ava she saw potential that she would be a siren one day and I'm not going to lie as much I'm upset with ava, I miss maya as well would be a lot better if her powers found their way to krieg that would be an awesome twist
@@zer0_2k18 Krieg the siren
Come on. Ava is a child and did something stupid. It's frustrating i get it. Ava says it's lilith fault she don't realise what she done. Yeah it's not like childs can put to word how they feel about someone's death caused by them. Now that don't mean it was a good thing nor that it was perfectlt written BUT she is a child keep in mind.
Easy, krieg the second, ava is a 13 year old so far, the reason why tina got reputation is she got DLC and her own DLC about saving the damn buttstallion So if we get a DLC about ava and she sorries you for being a bummer, ava would get that damn extra character development
@@dawidek8237 tiny Tina's dlc was more about her accepting roland and bloodwing is dead.
I've just played and finished Borderlands 3. This content is great for learning even more about the universe. Thank you EruptionFang, very cool!
Maliwan knew about the part of the vault key coz one of the monks sold the info to them. This info is in bl3 on a echo near the brewery on Athenas
You should definitely do a video on Angel! She’s one of my favorite characters! Also great video! Loved it!
Amazing video, keep it up Eruption!
For next time, do either Lilith or Mordecai.
Ikr like I would much rather that axton dies than Maya
Mordecai
Lilith already (might have) died
I'm pretty sure they meant do a history if Lilith or Mordecai
Maya: Huh. I'm attractive?! Me: *blushes so hard I pass out*
Damn, I never heard Maya's origin echos. I never knew she had an interesting backstory. I only cared about her a little because Krieg "like liked" her since I mostly played Krieg.
Anyone that tries to tell you not to ask questions is someone who does not deserve your trust and faith.
DLC Idea: sane Krieg? The resurrection of maya.
Got your wish, partially
SydiousSneakySnake bruh I forgot about this comment. Holy shit am I psychic lol?
@@wallyfm123 a lot of people are including you 😂
Hope the next dlc is a proper funeral for Maya and Lilith
SovietOnion Russia Lilith isn’t dead tho
If you've done a Zer0 video already then apologies, but I'd love one for him. Keep it up, your stuff is so good
I love your channel I watch your videos everyday
i swear maya was my main and my fav character , they did her so DIRTY istg-
As a Krieg main...... this hit the feels😭
I have a request for next Vault Hunter... All of em! Love the lore vids you do
She was perfect to explore the lore behind sirens and they killed her for no reason
You should do an “entire borderlands lore and storyline” that would be sick
posted this on another video but it does involve maya and is kinda my prodiction for dlc 4 so im going to copy it to here. A lot of people are wanting Krieg to get rid of Ava in dlc 4... But i think it would be the perfect chance to expand her character and redeem her while at the same time bring Maya back... Remember in a side quest early on in the game you go into a severed heads mind by getting broke down and turned into data. Then find her memory fragments to help her return. When she returns she gets a new body made from scratch through the reality tech along with the head we entered from. Maybe if that tech is canon it will be how we enter Kriegs mind. And ava goes with us cuz she wants to know more about maya and Krieg would be the perfect person to learn from, considering how her death effects him. While in there we see a more emotional side of Krieg and his memorys and thaughts of Maya. Causing Ava to start maturing and growing with her own emotional reactions to his view of Maya. Tword the end we get Krieg to calm down and combine both personalities into one. Causing his inner self to start crying wishing he could show her how much he has changed because of her. Then maybe Tanis will come up with a plan to use her siren powers to communicate with the system that transferred them into Kriegs mind and use the essence of Maya that still lingers within the book Ava keeps with her to bring Maya back to them. Then maybe Maya will take charge in Liliths absence considering she was doing alot of research on sirens and their powers befor she died. Possibly leading to the next games story and finding Lilith. P.S. maybe Ava is Kriegs daughter from when he was sane and is the little one he is always talking about in his dialog. Maybe Maya learned that and it was why she was willing to entrust her powers to her... But thats just a side thaught and likely not the case. Also it would be interesting to have Ava with you in Kriegs mind and see that memory with you... could be an amazing reaction on her part and humanize her more.
6:45 that bugged skag tho
If you haven't done the history of lilith you should do her
i love the story explanaiton of the dlc characters not being on the train
This is the best series since SupMatto got DMCA struck. Keep it up.
What Maya phaselocked my heart I respect her
UNJUST CALAMITY
Seeing that this video is about 10 minutes shorter than the other character story videos hurt a bit... not because the video quality but because I immediately knew why it was shorter than the rest ... They cling to the original characters and then do us dirty with the BL2 ones.
they could have made Maya's death alot more impactful if she was in teh stroy more and Krieg was with us... what made Rolands death so impactful was his involvement in the story and Lilith was there to see it happen.. a lovers bond per say.... but yeah.. screw Ava
all I'm saying is if I never play BL3, then she'll never die. Damn I guess I'm just being similar to Tiny Tina when Roland and bloodwing. hurts to see your favorite character die, either stupid reason or not worth way of die. Damn it gearbox have old sirens show up like a spirit or to show the ones who currently hold their power ie Avatar state/ maya shows up to all those who hold her power. That way my beloved character doesnt truly die
3:09 maya is just a vibe fr
Please do Krieg next
Fernando Rios maybe brick
Technically he's the first brawler so yeah
@@fernandorios474 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
Maya should have slapped ava right before she died. I feel like that would've been one way to not make ava the worst siren.
Outside the distillery there is an echo log on how one of the monks tried to get rid of Maya in order to establish control. Therefore, they called for Maliwan to come and take the vault key
In a Typhon echo he says that’s atlas had made him send one piece of the vault key to Athenas so that’s why it’s there
My main and my fave!
8:43 I never realised the train she was getting on at the end of the trailer was *the* train of Borderlands 2. I dont know how, but my brain never put it together. Thank you for this revelation.
So, Sparky Flynt would be Baron Flynt and Zane Flynt's nephew.
I hate to nitpick, but both psycho kreig and sane kreig immediately fell in love with Maya, it was one of the only few things both kreigs would always both agree on. Hence the situation going how it did and neither party ending up killing eachother, with krieg joining Maya in the end
"I'm attractive??" Me: "Well duh"
Favorite one
"On your feet she might still be out there" 😭
Borderlands 3 did everything wrong in terms of story telling, worst sin was Maya and how her dead was immediately discarded, Lilith is literally like "so sad.. aaanyways those vaults won't open themselves, get to work people"
Mal-E-Wan the way he says it... I’m so used to it as Mal-uh-wan
This was but one of the milder crimes of the series. Whatever supernatural witchery went into writing the Calypsos was, of course, number one.
Maya*dies*krieg *so you have chosen death*
While I’ll agree it seems short they’re is a teaser to bl4 on gearbox’s twitter account banner, and Maya is in it Maya will most likely be in bl4.
Gonna make DLC 4 sooooooooo good!! Caint wait to see my old Torch pal
God damn you Ava for getting one of the coolest Sirens killed!!!
THE POOP CONDUCTER SHATTERED HEART WILL BE COMPLETED AGAIN WITH THE BLADE OF VENGEANCEEEEEEEE!!
The way they handled her death in BL3 is just so wrong. They built up her backstory so much, only to have her killed, without her knowing much about Sirens as a whole is just upsetting. Could you do a history video about either Tannis or Lillith next? Thanks.💙👍
Learning about borderlands 3 then hearing "don't worry big guy...I'll be back." God that's a gut punch...
Who else feels like they had a deja vu watching this, I remember watching this weeks ago but it released today
If all sirens are drawn to Athenus is it possible that the 7th siren is imprisoned there and because all sirens are drawn together (I should probably lay off these videos a bit)
I should also say she might be imprisoned on pandora since Amara said that sirens were drawn there, on the bus ride with Marcus
Casey Chime maybe the 7th siren is imprissoned with the destroyer
I'm going to hate playing through the BL3 Krieg dlc, I miss her every day, My favorite character alongside Krieg. It's going to hurt like hell if Krieg realizes she's gone.
I can phaselock stuff from a distance but let me grab this twin who leeches off sirens.Big brain over here.
Good job
"two knives entwined" Sane Krieg is trying to say something here
How could they give Maya such a glow-up only for her to die not even 1/3 into the game. She had so much more she could've offered as an already established character. Borderlands 3 was a MISTAKE. Take it back
Plz do one on claptraps, mostly the one that’s with the vault hunters
Jordan Myers I wish shadow trap would have more lore
Please do history of handsome jack please 🥺👍🏻btw great videos
Everything storytelling wise is excellent with Maya lore, and all vault hunters for that matter. Untill you mention Ava
is that really how they explained Gagie, my god that’s garbage
what do you mean? the part where gaige stowaway into the bl2 vault hunter's train or being hunted by holloway family's hired hands?
Tails from borderlands characters like janeysprings Yvette aslo sasha and Fiona well other characters from borderlands game series too
Turn around pretty lady!!!! These are words I will remember for life
Maya’s death was pointless and if they wanted to go with the siren powers being inherited plot then they could have killed off Lilith (only because she had been a much longer standing character and they possibly killed her off when she saved the planet) or the Calypso twins and given their power to Ava. But no they had to kill Maya in a pointless way to shit on the character when her story arc was getting interesting.
Such a good person, did what's right
He finally did it he finally did what we wanted
We got Maya, now please do Krieg
Interesting in hindsight that Tannis had her own Siren powers she was dealing with when she went about being Maya's assassin handler also that vastly in the future and in a far off galaxy anthrax exists...?
In my heart Maya didn't die, Gearbox just fucked up. List of the writers who fucked up: Connor Thomas Cleary Danny Homan Randall Varnell Sam Winkler And don't forget Pitchford.
