The Villain in your story is the equivalent to the motivation that gets you from start to finish. Handsome Jack is one of the glaring examples of how to execute on your antagonist nearly perfectly, and its no coincidence. This video showcases a few of the best villains I've come across and what they do right in their respective stories.
Ngl I love Jack as a villain, his story (Excluding the god awful way he was presented in BL3 but I’m not acknowledging that) is one of my favourite villain stories of all time. He’s got every trait that makes me love a villain and I’ll be honest- He’s not exactly wrong either
Right! The Pre Sequel is probably my favorite borderlands game because of how jack’s origin story is weaved into your story as well. Makes you feel for him when he goes crazy! Thanks for the comment 😎
@@FiguringOutFantasy Absolutely! Jack deserves the praise he gets as a villain and imo he’s the peak of the series. Great video too, I wish you all the best!
2, the pre sequel and tales weave the most amazing story....... of handsome jack!
Jack wasn't presented in bl3
@@levicarpenter5509 Handsome Jackpot DLC did him dirty
jack is basically everything that makes thanos cool in end game but has 2x the character development and is one of the funniest characters in any form of fiction
imo handsome jack is not only the perfect villain, but perfect in every way possible
He’s got to be the shining example that game developers aim to represent when making their villains! Thanks for the comment!
Perfect handsomeness :3
Some may even call him cellularly perfect
Never thought about comparing Sephiroth to Jack. But you’re so right. Love it.
Thank you for the comment! It was a lot of fun to think about the similarities between some of the best villains I've seen in gaming. If you enjoyed please subscribe and check out my other content!
He's not a villain. He's a hero.
An antihero to be exact. Does bad things for the right reasons.
I’m gonna be honest with y’all; Handsome Jack is not just the greatest Villains in gaming, he IS the best character I have ever seen!! The writing, the acting, the design, the gut punch of betrayal, the way he handles things, and the way he sees himself as a true hero; all freaking SHAKESPEARE to me!!!
That's some high praise! I can't say I really disagree with anything you said though. Jack really is that great!

@@FiguringOutFantasy will do! Thanks man!
WE LOVE HANDSOME JACK!!!!
We Stan him!
Handsome Jack is by far my favorite villain and the only one to come close for me is Pagan Min from Far Cry 4 mainly because they are the same type of character as charismatic villains and both talk to the player over the radio its a much better way of keeping them there to antagonize the player without having them show up in a cutscene every few minutes in a scenario where you could've just beat the villain there like many games do
Jack is my fav villain of all time tbh!
Chell is not a robot tho :(
This dude don’t miss!!!
I appreciate the tremendous support! 😁

Am I the only one would want jack back
I think we would all kill for another experience with his amazing character!
Easily a top 5 greatest villain of all time
Great video, and yeah I agree Handsome Jack is the best villain ever! I love him so much I couldn't bring myself to kill him at the end of BL2, I let Lilith do it 😅 BTW I have just one criticism; you don't play as a robot in Portal. You're a human woman, just saying.
I’m glad you share the same attitude towards handsome jack! Thank you for the compliments on the video as well. And your point about being a human woman in portal is totally right, I honestly was mixing up my experience with portal 2 multiplayer being as you play as robots in that version. Thanks for the great comment!
I could NEVER bring myself to kill Jack myself; he’s just that DAMN good!! And plus, I think Lilith deserves to kill him and would have made her more angrier and bitter towards everything! … Until BL3 came out and said “FuCk SmUrT wRiTiNg, We,Ve GoT a ShItTy StOrY’ sHiTtY cHaRaCtErS’ & A sHiTtY eNdInG tHaT lEaVeS tHe PlAyEr CuFoOsEd & DiSaPoInT!!!!!!” God that story was DOG TRASH!!!!
@@FiguringOutFantasyyou may as well have played as a robot with how empty of a character Chel is
Truth
😎
No, I love Jack not only as a villain, but a character. I LIKE him. If I was in Borderlands I would side with him without hesitation. I hate Bandits and especially all those self righteous hypocrites called vault hunters.
Me when handsome jack 💋

LN4 ooooorah
Handsome Jack ain’t got nothing on the villain arc that is your Marth game 2 after losing to Falco game 1.
If only I could make a story about it... I'll have to get rank 1 first maybe.
