Hi everyone this is the lore video I was going to upload on the weekend. It got demonetized by RUclips as not being ad friendly but I wont he appeal. The video is now up. I hope everyone enjoys it. If you do please drop a like it helps me to make more content like this.
Hey professional not sure if you have heard or this game but you should play The Warriors it’s a beat em up game developed by Rockstar and was released back in 2005 i Grew up playing this game and it became one my favorite I think you’ll like it also it’s based on the 1979 Film and is on the PlayStation store as a ps2 classic I had It on Xbox but unfortunately it’s not on the Xbox one since that’s what I’m on but I mean since your a PlayStation player you should give it a try I recommend it
Hey can you also make a video on Toni Cipriani's life and his personality. I never got to know much about about his personality except that he is very loyal to Salvatore and his crime family. And do you know what is 'We Tip'? I never heard of it. I think that some kind of police wing for tips. And how did you know that some cops in the bank robbery mission are corrupt, i actually didn't understood that.
In my opinion, murdering the construction workers is the most evil thing. The whole mission is so random and pointless. CJ goes on a rampage killing innocent workers to defend his sister's honor and ends up burying a man alive. It's so horrific the more you think about it.
Yeah, I mean the construction workers were in the wrong for what they did but this was a case of the punishment not fitting the crime. I could understand if they actually sexually assaulted or raped his sister but catcalling someone hardly deserves to be killed over, much less being buried alive.
@@davisbowe8668 Kendl is like: I don't let any men to say bad things about me and that's why I will send my brother so he could kill them, she uses men for her dirty problems, pretty weak if you ask me.
The thing is that CJ was a straight busta when you start the game. He was nothing more than a tool for Sweet, Smoke and Tenpenny. He didn't have the courage or spine to stand up for himself or retaliate until the final Mike Toreno mission in which he finally put Toreno at gun point. I consider Toreno to be CJ's biggest influence and greatest mentor in finally setting him free from his fears and insecurities. Also having true and loyal friends like Cesar and Wu Zi helped as well.
Im busy at university and cannot watch this right now, just came here to say you make the best lore videos ever, I always watch them from start to finish and never miss a single word!
Personally, I think CJ continued to help Tenpenny because he could still go after Caesar & Kendl. Not to mention he had no real guarantee Toreno would keep his end of the bargain.
I don't think CJ or anyone playing for the first time believed Toreno would honor his end of the deal. He had no reason to. He had enough power to wipe both CJ, his family and C.R.A.S.H. out. Sure, he needed a handyman to do the dirtywork, but he still had extreme amounts of government power. If toreno just disappeared, nobody could do shit about it. The fact that Toreno kept his word when he didn't have to tells two things for me. First is that he is the man of his word. And the second is that he truly valued CJ and was hoping for continued work relationship (hence why he did not get C.R.A.S.H. off CJs back, despite clearly stating he could, because that promise could have been a valuable trade offer in the future)
To be fair in CJ defense Catalina is crazy and unpredictable. Torino is a government Agent so CJ probably didn't know he was telling the truth of he was lying.(imo)
@@deathsinger115 Agree , CJ doesn't killed Catalina because she was his best friend (Cesar) cousin and he wanted money , If she wasn't Cesar cousin I think CJ would probably killed her.
I'm pretty sure Cj didn't really rely on Toreno After STOWAWAY. After this mission, Toreno just vanishes, and Cj kinda makes him pay by stealing the black project and the green goo. After that, you don't hear about Toreno until the final LS arc. First Time i played, i actually tought that Toreno had either been "disposed of" by his superiors for giving a criminal the opportunity to steal all that top secret stuff, or that he was aware of that and was planning to Come back at any moment to kill Cj, and that we'd have to defeat him once and for all. It would've been better imo, because the way cj just lets Toreno go After ALL the stuff he did (when in comparison he didn't hesitate to kill construction workers who had not even done half the things Toreno did to him) was really underwhelming
You know the funny thing Cj is actually one of the more saner/ calmer gta protagonist. I hate to imagine what characters like Trevor, Tony, Niko, Mike and Claude would do to some of these guys if they had to do those missions hell I can see Trevor liking Catalina. Actually now that I think about it I’m pretty sure the most sane Gta protagonist is Franklin with Hung Lee from chinatown wars being a close second for me
@@theprofessional155 Carl Johnson is a nice person but did some bad things you can see that he does has morals but the poor foreman that got buried in cement alive didn't do anything
Imagine how screwed CJ would be if he admitted to dealing with everybody CRASH ordered him to deal with to wipe evidence. Also CJ admitting to Madd Dogg that he was behind stealing the rhyme book, wasting the manager, and pushing him into self-destructive behavior.
Still feel the foreman kill was the most evil. Man suffocated to death in a portapotty covered in sht, THAT'S HORRIFC! He stayed there for days with no hope of escape all cause a dude said the same thing to Kendl as Sweet THAT CJ AGREED WITH! Crazy! It's almost as dark as Toni's kills. Everyone was talking about Trevor's torture scene but I was still thinking of what Toni did for Donald Love and to Giovanni 💀
Trevor's torture was very mild compared to what CJ did (burying someone alive in concrete) and many things Claude did. Trevor at least did not kill the person he tortured and even let him escape from the investigating agencies.
And more importantly, that foreman probably didn't even do anything, he was probably inside taking a shit while Kendl was getting called a hooker. Dude was completely innocent but still got one of the most horrific deaths in the entire series. I wouldn't even say Trevor is the most evil in the series, he's just the most "expressive", Toni and Claude are far more evil than him. I know it's implied that Trevor is a cannibal who eats people, but we never learn anything about his meal victims, they could very well be shitheads who went after Trevor first like so many did during the series. Trevor even lets the dude he tortures for the FIB go away free instead of killing him.
What we need to know about CJ is that unlike Smoke, Ryder or OG Loc, he isn’t selfish. He actually has a passion for his friends and family, and actually wants to prove himself to Smoke, Ryder, Sweet, and OG Loc because in a way, he still feels guilty for causing Brian’s death, getting kicked out of Grove Street by Sweet, and for not being at his mom’s funeral. CJ also felt the need to protect himself and his family by doing everything that Tenpenny blackmailed him to do, out of fear for being framed for Pendelbury’s murder and/or possibly out of fear that Tenpenny might try to kill Sweet by ordering a hit again (like in The Introduction) or maybe on Kendl too. It’s all of those traits that I mentioned before that nearly led to his downfall during The Green Sabre. After all of the evil things that Smoke, Ryder and OG Loc had him do to help them, they betrayed CJ, while they let Sweet get thrown in jail. Not only that, but CRASH continued to blackmail him into doing what they wanted while threatening him and Sweet at the same time. It’s when CJ starts working for Truth, Woozie, and Toreno that he realizes he has people he can work with that want to help him, that don’t betray him, and that won’t blackmail him. Sure, Toreno puts CJ into uncomfortable situations, but he never betrays him. And CJ is the type of person that would give his life for his friends and family because that’s the type of character he is. Sure he may have done some evil things like burying the foreman in concrete, but he still was probably upset about what happened in Los Santos (before he was able to let go of his anger before the mission Yay Ka-Boom Boom, when Cesar talked him down). It was the guilt he felt after his friends betrayed him that he started to want to make things right starting with Madd Dogg (after he ruined his career), and by making everyone who blackmailed him, betrayed him, killed his mother and were responsible for throwing his brother in jail, pay. First it was Ryder and the Loco Syndicate, then Pulaski, then Smoke and then Tenpenny (after he “ordered” him to kill all of those witnesses, triggering the riots). Even though he caused those problems, despite his guilt, CJ still stood on top. Why? Because he respected the people that didn’t betray him (Cesar, Woozie, Truth, Toreno, etc.) despite what the bad guys put him through. Rockstar developed his character in a way no one could have ever done. Amazing.
I've said it again, but killing the foreman feels a lot like the devs looked at each other and said, "Hey, CJ is passing for an actual good guy, what can we do to change that?" and made this mission. This mission makes zero sense. I can understand wanting to send a message, but sending a message is not killing the one who's supposed to get it. Edit: Also, ruining Madd Dogg's life was an evil thing to do, but I'm fairly certain CJ didn't think things would escalate to that point. He may not be vocal about it, but he did become his manager not out of interest (like OG Loc for Big Smoke) but because he genuinely feels sorry and wants to do right to an innocent.
Honestly, with killing the foreman I felt like the developers were like "let's just throw something in here" at that point of the game as a diversion mission from the actual story and just give C.J. a mission to stand up for his sister. I'm with ya, there was no reason to even do the mission. If you are gonna send a message give him some cement shoes, dye his hair, or make his workers run off.
I mean throughout the story it becomes clear CJ cares a lot about his sister and would go to great lengths to defend her, but that mission definitely came out of left field. He could've just destroyed a truck or something to send a message and it would give the same result.
@@Needformadness2 lmao brother i forgot i ever posted this comment and when i saw your response i thought it was from a stupid political debate or something lmao. And yea it can be said for every cop or Soldier but the thing is that they are important people that need to die in order for our character to succed, but there was no need to kill Joe that works on a construction site.
@Mr.SupaSnitch , Yet still has some doubts about attacking some Ballas mourning on their fallen but still went on with it anyway because he didn't wanna be a buster.
Fun Fact: if you start the liquor store first instead the other one. CJ will have a alternative dialogue saying "OK, Let's just take it" instead "you mean like the last time?"
When you talk about Toreno protecting Sweet, and CJ from Crash, you seem to be forgetting that CJ has a still living sister that Crash knows the location of. Toreno only cares about CJ as long as he’s useful, and makes it clear he doesn’t really care outside of that. CJ had perfectly good reasons to think even if they couldn’t get to Sweet, they’d just go for Kendl.
@@AlexKaneROTN Who, Caesar? Caesar is tough but I doubt he can take on all the cops while still protecting Kendl. He could barely get his ass out LS without his homies when his own gang turned on him.
Small detail, it's not cocaine planted in the D.A.'s car, but it's marijuana. The arresting cop does say it's 'two tons of Mary'. But it's rather telling most of CJ's worst actions were him being coerced into doing it save for killing the construction workers. I remember an 'LP archive' done by Jerusalem of GTA SA that give an explanation for why CJ helps Tenpenny after meeting Toreno: wanting to plan out revenge and get a chance to kill him and Pulsaki. Also the LP Archive hints Scropio's girlfriend lives.
Not to mention how Kendall dresses while walking around a construction site. I get that sounds kind of victim blamey but she literally dresses like many of the prostitutes in game then gets really pissed at cat calling.
Deconstruction should've been #1 in my opinion. I've played this game a million times and to this day, it still amazes me on how he does it with no hesitation. I get its family but common. Its like, can't we just talk about this?😂. It is Gta so what do you expect. Lol.
It’s cool to see someone covering these missions. Stuff like what CJ does here is what makes San Andreas just as dark as GTA IV in some respects- At least in GTA IV you can often spare the people you are ordered to whack. Sometimes it feels like End of The Line was not even enough of a satisfactory ending considering the scale of Tenpenny’s evil.
I feel like CJ was in a pit of rage likely because of how fucked up everything was going on like sweet being arrested, mom's death and friends betrayal. He let his anger get the best of him.
@@malletUsergaming that's a reasonable argument i've done stupid shit when people insulted my parents i even hit someone with a plank of wood with a nail in it i regretted it
CJ ruining Madd Dogg's life just to help OG Loc widen his career is very evil and deserves to be Top 1 bc Madd Dogg almost jumped off that building after his Drug Addiction, glad CJ felt guilty and helped Madd Dogg to reclaim his throne again.
Yeah plus CJ didn’t want to seem like “buster” because he wanted to make amends for abandoning Grove Street so you could say that he was technically manipulated.
@@mapleflag6518 Moral of the story is that if you try so hard to be respected, you're going to do dishonorable things. Lesson is that people's judgment of you isn't an excuse. hurting people for the sake of family isn't an excuse. CJ ironically became the biggest buster in gta history lmao. didn't even have the guts to confess to MD or Sweet.
But he didn't really think that far ahead about its impact when he did it. Remember that he's still got the ghetto mentality when the mission takes place, something that almost disappears entirely when he later meets Madd Dogg later in the game.
Actually in the 555 we tip mission, CJ actually plants 2 tons of Marijuana in the trunk. That’s why the officer says at the end of the mission, “there’s at least two tons of Mary in here.” Mary Jane or Mary being a common nickname for the drug
The Reconstruction mission actually made me feel bad the first time I played it because it was too cruel to bury someone alive in a portapotty, especially for no reason (catcalling? then CJ doesn't even do anything with the property which makes it even more unnecessary) and this is coming from someone who sometimes does burglary missions in the game just to then set fire to the house occupants
Would you ever do and in depth video about Catalina? Maybe to explain why she is acting like this and why she betrays Claude and CJ? That or anything else about her? Like why she’s so crazy and acts the way she does.
Yeah, i remember now. CJ took out the guy that originally was supposed to meet up with her. He stalked a civilian, who was literally the definition of an average joe just making a living. GTAV almost did the same thing with Michael and the janitor, for when he was about to raid the fib building (cut content)
2:35 It wasn't cocaine, it was marijuana. That's why, during the countryside missions, CJ needed to pay The Truth and why CJ says that "there's a ton of that stuff" in TT's van when they were moving to San Fiero. If you pay attention to the dialogue in the cutscene of the mission Body Harvest, Tenpenny even vaguely mentions the D. A. while high.
Top 5 good things CJ has done. 1) Rid the world of the corrupt cop regimen of C. R. A. S. H 2) Prevent Sweet from being incarcerated after he was imprisoned. Even IF Sweet was uptight and to his morale code, CJ still opted to help thanks to the exploits of Toreno. 3) NOT being in a relationship with Catalina. Like bruh. CJ didn't dodge a bullet. He evaded a whole bunker of ammunition. Thank God CJ didn't hitch with Catalina because that would be an awkward thing to explain to Cesar. 4) Being a good ally to Wu Zi Mu. Their partnership is one of my favorite friendships in all of GTA and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the dynamic of a Dai Dai Lo of a Triad to basically have a common street thug pull off captain level duties on his behalf. And Woozie in kind treats CJ with respect. 5) Being just a truly outgoing person. He has a lot of pride in Grove Street and the gang and his family, with what's left of it anyway. And even then, he still welcomed Cesar even after his Varrio Eses perpetrated. Not to mention CJ is pretty intelligent and has pulled of a LOT of insane stuff. Like every GTA protagonist really. 😂 Honorable mentions. Getting Paul Maccer and Ken Rosenberg out of heat with the Leone Mafia. Saving Madd Dogg from suicidal depression and later helping him get the Rhyme Book back.
Destroying Big Smokes crack empire. And wanting to get rid of the drugs spreading across south central Los Santos. Even in Grove street because the Families gang rivals are dealing with crack and the crack epidemic are destroying the community. Like professional say once drugs come in, it opens a Pandora’s box of problems and consequences.
@@elperrodelautumo7511 This is true. But let's not forget. It's because of C.R.A.S.H and their corrupt ways alloying said crack to even come into the city via the Loco Syndicate. Smoke and Ryder were always going to sell out the Families and during the mission Wrong Side of the Tracks, Smoke practically gives away the fact he already established a linkage with the Loco Syndicate thanks to T-Bone Mendez and the San Fierro Rifa.
Ok i highly disagree with#1 cuz A. CJ feels more guilt about it compared to the other ones, and B. At least CJ tried to make it right or better for madd dog, even tho he caused the downfall
personally i think cj murdering all those witnesses and causing the los santos riots and all those hundreds maybe even thousands of people died is worse than ruining one guy's life even if it was madd dogg
If there's a comment you agree with give it a like if you want but don't let someones personal preference that are completely unrelated to his statement cease your decision to support him.
Honestly I was always wondering, if CJ killed so many people without having problems with cops and I don't mean just normal NPCs but people in storyline too. Why he didn't just kill Tenpeny
Yeah, especially considering the kind of weapons that he gets later in the game. Should be easy enough to just wait for Tenpenny and Pulaski to roll up in their car and then blow it up with an RPG shot.
@@Douyinchineselivingthe one with the man on the car wasn't an evil thing CJ did. He did it because one of the Mafia families had been trashing Woozie's casino and Woozie couldn't identify who had done it. Then when the Triads caught one of them, CJ suggests to tie him up so they can get information on which family had done it. This information becomes useful, especially when some of Woozie's casino chips were planted with fake ones, to which he says that the mafia family who targets them has a factory making it in the city. Saves him the hassle of trying to gain information again.
As for the Toreno thing. It's safer for him to try and maintain the status quo as at any point Toreno can turn on him. He has no choice, I doubt he even believed toreno would keep his word.
@@gamingandmapping2281 You've gotta be pretty selfish to go around robbing and killing people for money. Everyone wants money but not everyone will go to the same lengths to get such money.
@Hagarism i dont think tommy was selfish. He liked sonny but sonny betrayed him. Same with lance. Tommy is not as good as cj but he is not that selfish. Dimitri is the most evil antognist
@@kevinnorris6558 cj is selfish but he liked sweet and grove street families. But he i is a little selfish. My fav gta game is gta 4 what bout yall. No fights.
Blackmailed by Jeffery? You sound like a complete fool. Clearly you know nothing about it, he was blackmail by tenpenny but Jeffrey? No he wasn't, only by tenpenny, get your damn facts straight
@@herrforesight-Satanisking Herr Foresight when he sees an opinion that someone had (dude shut up the definitive edition was actually garbage to the original)
The riot in this game is based on the Rodney King riots that took place in L.A. in the same time period when the police officers who nearly beat him to death were found not guilty of all charges
I wouldn't consider the robberies he did with Catalina as much evil. First off, he's kinda forced to do them, it's basically the only way he can get some decent money in the middle of nowhere after Sweet got caught. He has to put on with Catalina because he has no other opening; and the minute he does later in the story, he leaves. Aside from that, rescuing her is just something that makes sense; if she gets caught the cops would most likely get a trail on him and put him in jail as well.
Lore videos are the best. Also you forgot the mission black project where CJ helps the truth by killing all of the soldier's just because he wants a jetpack which he can't fly. Truth is one of the worst characters in SA.
Other missions I would like to include - The Black Project : This is one of the best missions in the game, but Carl killed almost a hundred of innocent Army men for an order and stole their most important, a 50 Million worth project from them. I actually felt quite sad after hearing it's worth just after I stole it. Not to mention he stole something almost equally worthy right after completing this ( in Green Goo) and quite the same in robbing uncle Sam.
How to save your family in a dangerous situation Written by Carl Johnson 1.) Killing dozens of people 2.) Be a peasant to a police officer 3.) Be betrayed and played 4.) Be a help of a psycho woman 5.) Ruin a man's life then Help him
Also again I just want to mention this Professional the reason why GTA 3 and Vice City don't allow the protagonist to go on water was because Rockstar didn't think about a mission for swimming
But they kinda had some in-universe lore for it. GTA3 had the waters contaminated, which is why Claude couldn't swim. GTA VC had sharks swimming around in the water, which is why Tommy can't swim. Though I doubt he'd die to a bunch of invisible sharks floating around even the shallow waters such as the beach.
I think he felt like if he argued with them they would not get the message so he thought it was best that he kills some of them and bury the foreman under concrete so that they would know to never mess with his family. Lots of gangsters and mobsters do these kind of things if you mess with their family.
@@b.a.m.mdoublem1196 Not True. At all. They might Hurt someone if someone says shit about their Family sure but not exterminate everyone in The vicinity for something so little
@@paulghencea9037 well maybe Carl wanted to do that for sometime. He was just looking for a reason to do it because that construction site was eventually going to overshadow his garage business because you hear him say "I was thinking about me getting some new land anyway" so he wanted to do that for quite sometime and when one of those construction men insulted Kendl(Carl himself was not sure which one was it) he finally got a reason to do it and yes I agree that was one of the most messed up and evil things that CJ has done.
@@b.a.m.mdoublem1196 He did say that but he never actually bought that land afterwards or did anything with it. Maybe he did do something after The story ended but still...
Great video as always! However in 555 we tip, CJ didn’t plant coke it was weed. And the reason he did all the robberies with Catalina was not to get sweet out of jail or to save money, it was to be able to pay for the drugs so he can plant them in 555 we tip.
Its so cool for me to realize all those connections after all these years, when i was a kid i didnt even knew what drugs where (in catalyst i thought ryder gave tenpenny milk🤣)
Hey man! One of your fans in here. In the mission "555 we tip" the drug in the trunk isn't coke it's actually the weed that The Truth had got from his farm and transported to SF in the mothership. The proofs are that tempenny introduced him to CJ and told him he would help them to get something they would use and while they were traveling Truth told Carl that he had almost 2 tons of weed in his van. Also one of the cops said there was almost half ton of "mary" (marijuana) in the DA's trunk.
Mine are CJ , Niko , Tommy and Trevor Franklin is also good protagonist but he's a bit too tame to be one of my most favorite GTA protagonist. I mean Franklin is also strong , brutal , deadly and a mass murderer but he's a bit less violent compared to most other GTA protagonists. Badass dangerous killers protagonists are fire IMO.
People don't realize that they aren't just playing as criminals in GTA Games, they are playing as *Villains* Yes, they usually don't go out of there way to kill innocents, but regardless they willingly commit actions to complete their goals regardless if it means killing innocents. From the most evil like Trevor and Claude to the least evil like CJ and Niko, all are bad guys.
I disagree, there anti heroes not villains. Plus I think it's questioning how Claude is one of the most evil when he literally kills no innocent people and can't talk, not saying he isn't at least bad though
In cj’s defense, with the exception of the foremen and madd dogg he had very logical reasons to do the rest of the things listed. Even in the case of madd dogg, cj was just helping out a supposed friend and i doubt that he expected madd dogg’s life to spiral the way it did after his rhyme book was stolen
Your videos have always been great. I'm happy for you being able to break out of the GTA Online trap. It's heartwarming to see you able to make passion projects you can love as much as we do.
I feel like Madd Dogg’s case is similar to Famous Dex’s - Dex got addicted because someone close died, but he hasn’t fully recovered yet and he makes awful music unlike he used to in 2015 - 2018
1. Manipulated Wade and killed his friends 2. Somewhat manipulated Floyd into doing things 3. Killed a strip club manager for no reason 4. Altruist cult (optional)
@@ricky-sanchez I can understand killing Johnny but kidnapping madrazos wife no lol Madrazo is evil himself and treats his wife like shit, and she actually liked Trevor and wanted to be with him, but said she took a vow of marriage so it could not be
The casual psychopathy of CJ really sinks in when you hear him talking about mundane/random stuff in cutscenes or in between missions. He's protective of his sister, he takes Catalina's craziness so maturely, he talks about food, his likes and dislikes and ideals and ideas etc, and all the while I'm thinking: this guy is a mass murderer. He is displayed in such a laid-back, likeable way, and five minutes later he massacres a bunch of construction workers for petty revenge.
Excellent video. Small correction, it isn't coke that CJ puts in the DA's car. It is actually weed. Truth loves the stuff and a cop says "He must have 2 tons of Mary back here"
I would love to see the evil and good things each GTA protagonist has done. Especially Niko. And I would like a lore video on OG Loc being the best rapper alive. And how did he made hits and became famous in GTA 5 as there were Easter eggs of him being a successful rapper
Well CJ and Niko are the deepest GTA protagonists because both have done many bad things but also have a redeem sides in both of them. Like Darth Vader.
It's probably safe to assume the canon way the Valet went down was by getting KO"d rather than murdered, kinda like how Franklin does the same thing to get a disguise to steal the car. You could choose to kill him, but obviously given the whole point of the mission Carl had to do, I think it's fair to surmise he didn't actually murder the guy or else that's super messed up just to frame a guy with drugs.
@@malletUsergaming Yeah but so would "killing" that one character in Liberty City Stories but canonically he survived since we see him in GTA III working as a Mechanic. The game doesn't have a KO mechanic so obviously it's gonna count it as a kill even if it truly isn't.
Manager: Hey, man Take me back to Dogg's mansion. Cj: Not today asshole. Today, we're taking the scenic route. “Via the bottom of the ocean” Cracks me up everytime 😂
Thanks for another great video professional. I think covering all the gta characters evil doings would be a great idea. It may take you a while to do Claude though because he's so cold and by far the worst. He did everything he did without saying a word. I know that wasn't the reason they didn't give Claude a voice but it does make him seem that much more cold. Kind of like Jason or Michael Myers. They could look you straight in the face and then impale you or something. Anyway, these lore videos are awesome man. 👍👏👏👏
Hey Professional, could you do one of these for Toni Cipriani from Liberty City Stories? I feel like has A LOT of things that he's done that were evil.
@@gamingandmapping2281 Niko was one of the craziest murders in GTA universe. He even says that he saw 20 kids lined up and butchered with their hands cut off. No one else in GTA has seen anything like that.🤔
What about that mission Supply Lines? CJ pilots a remote controlled model airplane and blows up mail order vans delivering merchandise for Zero's rival. Blowing up those vans results in the deaths of the delivery drivers. Also, CJ is the one that comes up with the idea to use the the airplane to sabotage Berkley. So CJ isn't acting on anyone's orders- he chooses of his own free will to kill innocent delivery guys to settle a personal vendetta that isn't even his. That's easily worse than framing the D.A.
My 5 picks 5.Robbing Caligula Casno After heist Salvadore call CJ and threating him he gonna kill him and his family olso that event causes Salvadore become very paranoid for rest of his life 4.Trespassing military base to steel Jetpack Acording commanding offier he said that stolen jetpack are worth $60,000,000 BTW Similar plot from Mike Toreno about hijack military plane from Aircraft carrier. 3.Working with Catalina No need to explain 2.Ruin Madd Dogg career same 1. Helping Tenpenny same
I think all those Catalina mission are just to extend the storyline and let us have more fun, the only reason we get to find San Fierro and go on is because Caesar told us about the race, if he wins he wins and go to San Fierros
You can actually save the construction worker in the 'Deconstruction' mission, you just need some satchel charges, you can find one near the hospital near the beach in SF, when you throw the mobil toilet in the pit, pit the satchel charges and blow them, the toilet will fly out of the pit and you can still continue the mission, and I'm sure that the person inside will be alive.
What about the fact that he runs over thousands of people, sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose. Ever think about their families? Imagine how sad they must feel. And it's all because they waved their hand at you because you were speeding next to them.
I think the reason for CJ working for Tenpenny, even if Toreno had Sweet under his wing; is the fact that César, Kendl and many other people close CJ were still out there and could have been the main targets if CJ ever thought of trying to do something against C.R.A.S.H.
One detail about the second topic: The last part of the game is a reference to the Los Angeles Riots, even the reasons are similar (4 cops were absolved after attacking a black driver due to lack of evidence) the riots happened between 29/april to 4/may of 1992 (A.K.A. 6 days of chaos in the city) and and the results were 53 people killed, over 2.000 wounded and 11.000 people arrested. So CJ basically caused the LA Riots in San Andreas.
For number 5: it's marijuana, not coke. Also, even though the only interaction we have with this DA is his wanting to prosecute TP and Pulaski, you have to remember that he's still a DA in early 90's SoCal. Meaning the man was far more likely complicit in police corruption than not. From CJ's perspective, it's no different than taking out a rival gang member. And of course he enjoys it, he gets to see a piece of that corrupt judicial system eat itself. From the lowliest street cop to the highest court judge, the saying at the time was "Live by the sword, die by the sword." After seeing so many guilty go free and so many innocent locked up because of the apathy or malice of public officials like this DA, I imagine it was pretty vindicating to say "Live by the law, die by the law." For 4 and 2: These are really evil things that TP and Pulaski did. All the Catalina stuff was to get money together to pay for weed that TP was forcing CJ to pay for so he could frame the DA. As for the witnesses, well that one's obvious. If he doesn't comply, CRASH can straight up execute Sweet, rape and murder Kendl, then have CJ falsely imprisoned for murdering a cop as the cherry on top. Also, just because Toreno SAID he'd protect Sweet and CJ, doesn't mean he actually would. Thankfully CJ's been around the block enough to know that this theoretical protection is conditional, as Toreno straight up says that he doesn't give a shit about any of them, CJ included (unless he remains useful). If it wasn't for the extortion and coercion committed by those two aforementioned crooked badges, CJ most likely never would have done any of these things. As for the remorse aspect: It's way too easy for us to judge from a place of safety, but if a person grows up around death all their lives, life becomes cheaper. There are still plenty of places in the world today where people will simply step over the dead bodies of their fellow man as easily as stepping over a discarded piece of trash. For 3 and 1: Yep. Self-serving, shitty moves by a pretty horribly flawed person. The murders are obviously the worst part, but not admitting to Madd Dogg that he stole his rhyme book rubbed me the wrong way, especially later on when he calls Madd Dogg a "fucking degenerate" for giving his house to a coke dealer knowing full well it was his own fault. That was undoubtedly the most bitch ass move CJ made during the whole game. This is too long to be called "my two cents," so I'll say this was my "Ten Pennies" instead :) Great video as always, you truly are a Pro at this!
Hi everyone this is the lore video I was going to upload on the weekend. It got demonetized by RUclips as not being ad friendly but I wont he appeal. The video is now up. I hope everyone enjoys it. If you do please drop a like it helps me to make more content like this.
What’s the best Mc business
Hey professional not sure if you have heard or this game but you should play The Warriors it’s a beat em up game developed by Rockstar and was released back in 2005 i Grew up playing this game and it became one my favorite I think you’ll like it also it’s based on the 1979 Film and is on the PlayStation store as a ps2 classic I had It on Xbox but unfortunately it’s not on the Xbox one since that’s what I’m on but I mean since your a PlayStation player you should give it a try I recommend it
Hey professional want me to sue RUclips on your behalf for robbery
George.
Hey can you also make a video on Toni Cipriani's life and his personality. I never got to know much about about his personality except that he is very loyal to Salvatore and his crime family.
And do you know what is 'We Tip'? I never heard of it. I think that some kind of police wing for tips.
And how did you know that some cops in the bank robbery mission are corrupt, i actually didn't understood that.
It's kind of chilling how after you bury the foreman, you don't even get money or respect.
Just "Mission Passed"
Never understood the real reason for that, it was just basically senseless violence for the sake of violence. No nuance whatsoever.
That mission was hell like
Thats why the game was for 18 years and older same like in the movies senseless killing
Daddy ain't coming home tonight, mission passed!
@@JimmyMcGillsg yeah but some killing should be within reason.
In my opinion, murdering the construction workers is the most evil thing. The whole mission is so random and pointless. CJ goes on a rampage killing innocent workers to defend his sister's honor and ends up burying a man alive. It's so horrific the more you think about it.
Yeah, I mean the construction workers were in the wrong for what they did but this was a case of the punishment not fitting the crime. I could understand if they actually sexually assaulted or raped his sister but catcalling someone hardly deserves to be killed over, much less being buried alive.
And you should let the workers kill you?
And it's not even justified in any way because his sister WAS dressed like a hooker
This is definitely the most evil thing he did.
@@davisbowe8668 Kendl is like: I don't let any men to say bad things about me and that's why I will send my brother so he could kill them, she uses men for her dirty problems, pretty weak if you ask me.
CJ: Too afraid to kill 2 police officer who blackmail him
Also CJ: Break into military base and steal Jetpack for some high ass hippie 😂
Sweet was at the prison, he would have died if cj killed both of the cops, but breaking into military base is sooo badass lol 😂
@@-Astolfo_Lover-but he could have done it before sweet was captured though
The thing is that CJ was a straight busta when you start the game.
He was nothing more than a tool for Sweet, Smoke and Tenpenny.
He didn't have the courage or spine to stand up for himself or retaliate until the final Mike Toreno mission in which he finally put Toreno at gun point.
I consider Toreno to be CJ's biggest influence and greatest mentor in finally setting him free from his fears and insecurities. Also having true and loyal friends like Cesar and Wu Zi helped as well.
@@GeorgeGabrielTemplarKnight a tool for sweet? Sweet? Sweet doesn't use people as tools

Personally, I think CJ continued to help Tenpenny because he could still go after Caesar & Kendl. Not to mention he had no real guarantee Toreno would keep his end of the bargain.
But Tenpenny is dead
@@fayyadabdullah5232 he means during the story....
@@TBSEminem ohhhhhh
I don't think CJ or anyone playing for the first time believed Toreno would honor his end of the deal. He had no reason to. He had enough power to wipe both CJ, his family and C.R.A.S.H. out. Sure, he needed a handyman to do the dirtywork, but he still had extreme amounts of government power. If toreno just disappeared, nobody could do shit about it.
The fact that Toreno kept his word when he didn't have to tells two things for me. First is that he is the man of his word. And the second is that he truly valued CJ and was hoping for continued work relationship (hence why he did not get C.R.A.S.H. off CJs back, despite clearly stating he could, because that promise could have been a valuable trade offer in the future)
Plus, regarding the framing, it's not guaranteed Toreno would do a thing about it.
To be fair in CJ defense Catalina is crazy and unpredictable. Torino is a government Agent so CJ probably didn't know he was telling the truth of he was lying.(imo)
Yeah anyone would be worried if he betrayed you since he was agent I'm with you on this one
I can justify it because he respects Cesar, and she is his cousin
He couldve saved her because he felt grateful since Cesar saved his sister too
@@deathsinger115 Agree , CJ doesn't killed Catalina because she was his best friend (Cesar) cousin and he wanted money , If she wasn't Cesar cousin I think CJ would probably killed her.
I'm pretty sure Cj didn't really rely on Toreno After STOWAWAY. After this mission, Toreno just vanishes, and Cj kinda makes him pay by stealing the black project and the green goo. After that, you don't hear about Toreno until the final LS arc. First Time i played, i actually tought that Toreno had either been "disposed of" by his superiors for giving a criminal the opportunity to steal all that top secret stuff, or that he was aware of that and was planning to Come back at any moment to kill Cj, and that we'd have to defeat him once and for all. It would've been better imo, because the way cj just lets Toreno go After ALL the stuff he did (when in comparison he didn't hesitate to kill construction workers who had not even done half the things Toreno did to him) was really underwhelming
Toreno*
You know the funny thing Cj is actually one of the more saner/ calmer gta protagonist. I hate to imagine what characters like Trevor, Tony, Niko, Mike and Claude would do to some of these guys if they had to do those missions hell I can see Trevor liking Catalina. Actually now that I think about it I’m pretty sure the most sane Gta protagonist is Franklin with Hung Lee from chinatown wars being a close second for me
No I disagree I think Vic Vance is the most sane . Franklin isn’t evil but he’s not as moral as Vic.
Is vic really moral though?
His actions and his words kinda contradict….
@@theprofessional155 facts
Claude only kills bad people
@@theprofessional155 Carl Johnson is a nice person but did some bad things you can see that he does has morals but the poor foreman that got buried in cement alive didn't do anything
Imagine how screwed CJ would be if he admitted to dealing with everybody CRASH ordered him to deal with to wipe evidence. Also CJ admitting to Madd Dogg that he was behind stealing the rhyme book, wasting the manager, and pushing him into self-destructive behavior.
Totally screwed there
well i think this is why story experience is always better than multiplayer R* should fully focus on SP
Oh, it would've been over for him... Like, totally. Everyone, including his own friends and family would've resented him.
I’m surprised that OG Loc didn’t say that CJ helped him steal madd doggs rhymes
@@bettercallsaul1777 i always expected that too and then CJ realizes that he only ever acts in personal interest but alas it didn’t happen
Burying the construction worker alive was so cold and shocking . So heartless🥶
Well I’m pretty sure the foreman made it out.
@Jezzef09I saw it in a dream
@@Endgame707 i believe you
But is also hilarious. Especially because of monologs))
What about the preacher in jizzy that was beyond evil
Still feel the foreman kill was the most evil. Man suffocated to death in a portapotty covered in sht, THAT'S HORRIFC! He stayed there for days with no hope of escape all cause a dude said the same thing to Kendl as Sweet THAT CJ AGREED WITH! Crazy!
It's almost as dark as Toni's kills. Everyone was talking about Trevor's torture scene but I was still thinking of what Toni did for Donald Love and to Giovanni 💀
Or when Toni killed Casa, cut him up, and sold his remains to his Deli
Trevor's torture was very mild compared to what CJ did (burying someone alive in concrete) and many things Claude did. Trevor at least did not kill the person he tortured and even let him escape from the investigating agencies.
And more importantly, that foreman probably didn't even do anything, he was probably inside taking a shit while Kendl was getting called a hooker. Dude was completely innocent but still got one of the most horrific deaths in the entire series.
I wouldn't even say Trevor is the most evil in the series, he's just the most "expressive", Toni and Claude are far more evil than him. I know it's implied that Trevor is a cannibal who eats people, but we never learn anything about his meal victims, they could very well be shitheads who went after Trevor first like so many did during the series. Trevor even lets the dude he tortures for the FIB go away free instead of killing him.
@@Kaledrone he is aggresive and kind lol
@@beachesandhose2374 He meant Casa when he said Giovanni.
What we need to know about CJ is that unlike Smoke, Ryder or OG Loc, he isn’t selfish. He actually has a passion for his friends and family, and actually wants to prove himself to Smoke, Ryder, Sweet, and OG Loc because in a way, he still feels guilty for causing Brian’s death, getting kicked out of Grove Street by Sweet, and for not being at his mom’s funeral. CJ also felt the need to protect himself and his family by doing everything that Tenpenny blackmailed him to do, out of fear for being framed for Pendelbury’s murder and/or possibly out of fear that Tenpenny might try to kill Sweet by ordering a hit again (like in The Introduction) or maybe on Kendl too.
It’s all of those traits that I mentioned before that nearly led to his downfall during The Green Sabre. After all of the evil things that Smoke, Ryder and OG Loc had him do to help them, they betrayed CJ, while they let Sweet get thrown in jail. Not only that, but CRASH continued to blackmail him into doing what they wanted while threatening him and Sweet at the same time.
It’s when CJ starts working for Truth, Woozie, and Toreno that he realizes he has people he can work with that want to help him, that don’t betray him, and that won’t blackmail him. Sure, Toreno puts CJ into uncomfortable situations, but he never betrays him. And CJ is the type of person that would give his life for his friends and family because that’s the type of character he is. Sure he may have done some evil things like burying the foreman in concrete, but he still was probably upset about what happened in Los Santos (before he was able to let go of his anger before the mission Yay Ka-Boom Boom, when Cesar talked him down).
It was the guilt he felt after his friends betrayed him that he started to want to make things right starting with Madd Dogg (after he ruined his career), and by making everyone who blackmailed him, betrayed him, killed his mother and were responsible for throwing his brother in jail, pay. First it was Ryder and the Loco Syndicate, then Pulaski, then Smoke and then Tenpenny (after he “ordered” him to kill all of those witnesses, triggering the riots). Even though he caused those problems, despite his guilt, CJ still stood on top. Why? Because he respected the people that didn’t betray him (Cesar, Woozie, Truth, Toreno, etc.) despite what the bad guys put him through. Rockstar developed his character in a way no one could have ever done. Amazing.
First
Ok we get it. No long explanation needed
@@blackfox658 dont be a lemon
@@kensley94 i will be a lemon sorry.
@@blackfox658 you
I've said it again, but killing the foreman feels a lot like the devs looked at each other and said, "Hey, CJ is passing for an actual good guy, what can we do to change that?" and made this mission.
This mission makes zero sense. I can understand wanting to send a message, but sending a message is not killing the one who's supposed to get it.
Edit: Also, ruining Madd Dogg's life was an evil thing to do, but I'm fairly certain CJ didn't think things would escalate to that point. He may not be vocal about it, but he did become his manager not out of interest (like OG Loc for Big Smoke) but because he genuinely feels sorry and wants to do right to an innocent.
Honestly, with killing the foreman I felt like the developers were like "let's just throw something in here" at that point of the game as a diversion mission from the actual story and just give C.J. a mission to stand up for his sister. I'm with ya, there was no reason to even do the mission. If you are gonna send a message give him some cement shoes, dye his hair, or make his workers run off.
I agree with that "edit" part
CJ is a good guy to his family and friends but he will be a pure sociopathic demon to his victims and enemies goons 😈😎
It would be much better if the foreman had actually harassed Kendl sexually. That would make CJ's actions much more justified and proportionate.
I mean throughout the story it becomes clear CJ cares a lot about his sister and would go to great lengths to defend her, but that mission definitely came out of left field. He could've just destroyed a truck or something to send a message and it would give the same result.
The construction mission has got to be one of the pettiest missions i've ever seen in a video game

@@Guto_Loco_Gushek_Brasil Cool story
That foreman killing was so ridiculously out of character
@Mr.SupaSnitch , Besides, CJ says it himself when going toe-to-toe with random people ''I'm a psychopath'' despite being sociopathic.
@Mr.SupaSnitch , Yet still has some doubts about attacking some Ballas mourning on their fallen but still went on with it anyway because he didn't wanna be a buster.
Fun Fact: if you start the liquor store first instead the other one. CJ will have a alternative dialogue saying "OK, Let's just take it" instead "you mean like the last time?"
The remarkable thing about CJ’s writing is that even through all the horrible things he does, he still is likeable
Yeah he's not an emotionless mute killer like Claude.
He's like Darth Vader , Has done many evil things but also a deep character.
yeah same thing with niko he did bad things but he did a lot of other good things to
@@loganwolv3393 have you ever heard the strong silent type, clearly not.
He didn’t really do much bad
When you talk about Toreno protecting Sweet, and CJ from Crash, you seem to be forgetting that CJ has a still living sister that Crash knows the location of. Toreno only cares about CJ as long as he’s useful, and makes it clear he doesn’t really care outside of that. CJ had perfectly good reasons to think even if they couldn’t get to Sweet, they’d just go for Kendl.
And you seem to forget who's still there to protect Kendl. So, your argument is already invalid.
@@AlexKaneROTN Who, Caesar? Caesar is tough but I doubt he can take on all the cops while still protecting Kendl. He could barely get his ass out LS without his homies when his own gang turned on him.

@@AlexKaneROTN Yeah "trying" lol. Good thing CJ is not dumb as you and isn't going to give Caesar participation trophies for just "trying".
@@Kaledrone and, it's a good thing your opinion means little to jackshit.
Small detail, it's not cocaine planted in the D.A.'s car, but it's marijuana. The arresting cop does say it's 'two tons of Mary'. But it's rather telling most of CJ's worst actions were him being coerced into doing it save for killing the construction workers. I remember an 'LP archive' done by Jerusalem of GTA SA that give an explanation for why CJ helps Tenpenny after meeting Toreno: wanting to plan out revenge and get a chance to kill him and Pulsaki. Also the LP Archive hints Scropio's girlfriend lives.
Illegal in San Andreas back then in 1992. Now it’s okay to smoke medicinally and recreationally.
That LP Jerusalem did is an instant classic. I want to do something like that in the future but with Saints Row 2.

CJ incasing the Forman in cement is way more evil considering how slow that kind of death is and it was all because of cat calling.
Most feminists in todays world would probably do something much worse.
Covered in shit in a dark chamber with no exit which is dark as fuck, thats without a doubt the worst thing i can imagine someone going through
Not to mention how Kendall dresses while walking around a construction site. I get that sounds kind of victim blamey but she literally dresses like many of the prostitutes in game then gets really pissed at cat calling.

34:10 the delivery of "and those are my hoes" never fails to make me bust out laughing its so passionate
Deconstruction should've been #1 in my opinion. I've played this game a million times and to this day, it still amazes me on how he does it with no hesitation. I get its family but common. Its like, can't we just talk about this?😂. It is Gta so what do you expect. Lol.
What you mentioned at the end of the video about a series on evil/good things each gta protagonist has done actually sounds like a really good idea!
It’s cool to see someone covering these missions. Stuff like what CJ does here is what makes San Andreas just as dark as GTA IV in some respects- At least in GTA IV you can often spare the people you are ordered to whack. Sometimes it feels like End of The Line was not even enough of a satisfactory ending considering the scale of Tenpenny’s evil.
But your just being biased, you can't compare a gameplay aspect that was only introduced later in the series.
I always felt really guity burying that guy in cement in the construction site mission. I mean i know they insulted his sister but come on
yea CJ Had a choice on that one
I always found it hilarious, especially if you use satchel charges to blow him into the hole
I feel like CJ was in a pit of rage likely because of how fucked up everything was going on like sweet being arrested, mom's death and friends betrayal. He let his anger get the best of him.

Yeah plus CJ didn’t want to seem like “buster” because he wanted to make amends for abandoning Grove Street so you could say that he was technically manipulated.
@@mapleflag6518 Moral of the story is that if you try so hard to be respected, you're going to do dishonorable things. Lesson is that people's judgment of you isn't an excuse. hurting people for the sake of family isn't an excuse. CJ ironically became the biggest buster in gta history lmao. didn't even have the guts to confess to MD or Sweet.
The Hood manipulated everyone
Smoke wanted to be away from the hood however he ruins it with Drugs
But he didn't really think that far ahead about its impact when he did it. Remember that he's still got the ghetto mentality when the mission takes place, something that almost disappears entirely when he later meets Madd Dogg later in the game.
Actually in the 555 we tip mission, CJ actually plants 2 tons of Marijuana in the trunk. That’s why the officer says at the end of the mission, “there’s at least two tons of Mary in here.” Mary Jane or Mary being a common nickname for the drug
The Reconstruction mission actually made me feel bad the first time I played it because it was too cruel to bury someone alive in a portapotty, especially for no reason (catcalling? then CJ doesn't even do anything with the property which makes it even more unnecessary) and this is coming from someone who sometimes does burglary missions in the game just to then set fire to the house occupants

GTAV almost did the same thing with Michael and the janitor, for when he was about to raid the fib building (cut content)
2:35 It wasn't cocaine, it was marijuana. That's why, during the countryside missions, CJ needed to pay The Truth and why CJ says that "there's a ton of that stuff" in TT's van when they were moving to San Fiero. If you pay attention to the dialogue in the cutscene of the mission Body Harvest, Tenpenny even vaguely mentions the D. A. while high.
That construction murder was more than brutal💀💀

Top 5 good things CJ has done.
1) Rid the world of the corrupt cop regimen of C. R. A. S. H
2) Prevent Sweet from being incarcerated after he was imprisoned. Even IF Sweet was uptight and to his morale code, CJ still opted to help thanks to the exploits of Toreno.
3) NOT being in a relationship with Catalina. Like bruh. CJ didn't dodge a bullet. He evaded a whole bunker of ammunition. Thank God CJ didn't hitch with Catalina because that would be an awkward thing to explain to Cesar.
4) Being a good ally to Wu Zi Mu. Their partnership is one of my favorite friendships in all of GTA and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the dynamic of a Dai Dai Lo of a Triad to basically have a common street thug pull off captain level duties on his behalf. And Woozie in kind treats CJ with respect.
5) Being just a truly outgoing person. He has a lot of pride in Grove Street and the gang and his family, with what's left of it anyway. And even then, he still welcomed Cesar even after his Varrio Eses perpetrated. Not to mention CJ is pretty intelligent and has pulled of a LOT of insane stuff. Like every GTA protagonist really. 😂
Honorable mentions. Getting Paul Maccer and Ken Rosenberg out of heat with the Leone Mafia. Saving Madd Dogg from suicidal depression and later helping him get the Rhyme Book back.
Destroying Big Smokes crack empire. And wanting to get rid of the drugs spreading across south central Los Santos. Even in Grove street because the Families gang rivals are dealing with crack and the crack epidemic are destroying the community. Like professional say once drugs come in, it opens a Pandora’s box of problems and consequences.
@@elperrodelautumo7511 number 4 is a my favorite one out of the 5

Yeah, especially considering the kind of weapons that he gets later in the game. Should be easy enough to just wait for Tenpenny and Pulaski to roll up in their car and then blow it up with an RPG shot.
Keep these lore videos coming. I learn something new from every video.
The most evil that he did you didn't mentioned was killing the farmers with the combined harvester
And in addition to the man he scares lock in the car to spit facts on them against the triads safety
@@Douyinchineselivingthe one with the man on the car wasn't an evil thing CJ did.
He did it because one of the Mafia families had been trashing Woozie's casino and Woozie couldn't identify who had done it. Then when the Triads caught one of them, CJ suggests to tie him up so they can get information on which family had done it.
This information becomes useful, especially when some of Woozie's casino chips were planted with fake ones, to which he says that the mafia family who targets them has a factory making it in the city. Saves him the hassle of trying to gain information again.
CJ is a humorous and Funny character untill you mess with his Family
The fact that he locked someone in a porta potty then buried him in cement while in said porta potty was crazy
As for the Toreno thing. It's safer for him to try and maintain the status quo as at any point Toreno can turn on him. He has no choice, I doubt he even believed toreno would keep his word.

I wouldn't consider the robberies he did with Catalina as much evil. First off, he's kinda forced to do them, it's basically the only way he can get some decent money in the middle of nowhere after Sweet got caught. He has to put on with Catalina because he has no other opening; and the minute he does later in the story, he leaves. Aside from that, rescuing her is just something that makes sense; if she gets caught the cops would most likely get a trail on him and put him in jail as well.
Lore videos are the best.
Also you forgot the mission black project where CJ helps the truth by killing all of the soldier's just because he wants a jetpack which he can't fly. Truth is one of the worst characters in SA.

The Black Project : This is one of the best missions in the game, but Carl killed almost a hundred of innocent Army men for an order and stole their most important, a 50 Million worth project from them. I actually felt quite sad after hearing it's worth just after I stole it. Not to mention he stole something almost equally worthy right after completing this ( in Green Goo) and quite the same in robbing uncle Sam.
Most of these are Tenpenny's fault. He pretty much owned CJ as he said before.
How to save your family in a dangerous situation
Written by Carl Johnson
1.) Killing dozens of people
2.) Be a peasant to a police officer
3.) Be betrayed and played
4.) Be a help of a psycho woman
5.) Ruin a man's life then Help him
Also again I just want to mention this Professional the reason why GTA 3 and Vice City don't allow the protagonist to go on water was because Rockstar didn't think about a mission for swimming
But they kinda had some in-universe lore for it.
GTA3 had the waters contaminated, which is why Claude couldn't swim.
GTA VC had sharks swimming around in the water, which is why Tommy can't swim. Though I doubt he'd die to a bunch of invisible sharks floating around even the shallow waters such as the beach.
I just don’t get the logic behind the Deconstruction mission. Carl could’ve just argued with them until they lose. What Carl did is an overreaction
I think he felt like if he argued with them they would not get the message so he thought it was best that he kills some of them and bury the foreman under concrete so that they would know to never mess with his family. Lots of gangsters and mobsters do these kind of things if you mess with their family.
@@b.a.m.mdoublem1196 Not True. At all. They might Hurt someone if someone says shit about their Family sure but not exterminate everyone in The vicinity for something so little
@@paulghencea9037 well maybe Carl wanted to do that for sometime. He was just looking for a reason to do it because that construction site was eventually going to overshadow his garage business because you hear him say "I was thinking about me getting some new land anyway" so he wanted to do that for quite sometime and when one of those construction men insulted Kendl(Carl himself was not sure which one was it) he finally got a reason to do it and yes I agree that was one of the most messed up and evil things that CJ has done.
@@b.a.m.mdoublem1196 He did say that but he never actually bought that land afterwards or did anything with it. Maybe he did do something after The story ended but still...
@@paulghencea9037 maybe he did but we'll never know
Great video as always! However in 555 we tip, CJ didn’t plant coke it was weed. And the reason he did all the robberies with Catalina was not to get sweet out of jail or to save money, it was to be able to pay for the drugs so he can plant them in 555 we tip.
Its so cool for me to realize all those connections after all these years, when i was a kid i didnt even knew what drugs where (in catalyst i thought ryder gave tenpenny milk🤣)
2:35 It's actually weed. It's why the SF officer says a half of Mexico in the trunk.
Exactly,plus it comes from truth s farm,thats why you had to bring him money
@@ionutdumitrescu676 the parts of where marijuana are grown is in the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, And Sinaloa in Mexico.
@@elperrodelautumo7511 ok,but im saying in the events of the game
Hey man! One of your fans in here.
In the mission "555 we tip" the drug in the trunk isn't coke it's actually the weed that The Truth had got from his farm and transported to SF in the mothership. The proofs are that tempenny introduced him to CJ and told him he would help them to get something they would use and while they were traveling Truth told Carl that he had almost 2 tons of weed in his van.
Also one of the cops said there was almost half ton of "mary" (marijuana) in the DA's trunk.
I’m surprised OG LOC didn’t throw CJ under the bus
Watch Professional’s video on that
Your Lore videos and gameplay videos (especially the definitive edition of gta) are amazing keep up the great work👍
5:55 - “ *EAT MY SHEET!* ”
CJ, Franklin, and Niko are my favorite gta characters
Mine are CJ , Niko , Tommy and Trevor
Franklin is also good protagonist but he's a bit too tame to be one of my most favorite GTA protagonist. I mean Franklin is also strong , brutal , deadly and a mass murderer but he's a bit less violent compared to most other GTA protagonists. Badass dangerous killers protagonists are fire IMO.
Catalina is such an annoying character
That's because she yells alot and she's angry
I love these videos, they always teach me something new about San Andreas that I didn’t even know about. Keep up the good work
People don't realize that they aren't just playing as criminals in GTA Games, they are playing as *Villains*
Yes, they usually don't go out of there way to kill innocents, but regardless they willingly commit actions to complete their goals regardless if it means killing innocents.
From the most evil like Trevor and Claude to the least evil like CJ and Niko, all are bad guys.
I disagree, there anti heroes not villains. Plus I think it's questioning how Claude is one of the most evil when he literally kills no innocent people and can't talk, not saying he isn't at least bad though
They're more like Anti-Heroes than Villans, though. Their methods only differ. They're more like The Punisher and Deadpool.
In cj’s defense, with the exception of the foremen and madd dogg he had very logical reasons to do the rest of the things listed. Even in the case of madd dogg, cj was just helping out a supposed friend and i doubt that he expected madd dogg’s life to spiral the way it did after his rhyme book was stolen
Your videos have always been great. I'm happy for you being able to break out of the GTA Online trap. It's heartwarming to see you able to make passion projects you can love as much as we do.
Cj is crazier then Trevor when he’s angry
In this mission with the workers, CJ is literally like Trevor.
Agreed. CJ has more serious personality and has higher kill count.
I feel like Madd Dogg’s case is similar to Famous Dex’s - Dex got addicted because someone close died, but he hasn’t fully recovered yet and he makes awful music unlike he used to in 2015 - 2018
Would love to see more Top 5 evil things vids for the other protagonists. Tho one on Trevor would take hours lol
Killing johnny, and kidnapping madrazo's wife are definitely top 5.
1. Manipulated Wade and killed his friends
2. Somewhat manipulated Floyd into doing things
3. Killed a strip club manager for no reason
4. Altruist cult (optional)
@@ricky-sanchez I can understand killing Johnny but kidnapping madrazos wife no lol
Madrazo is evil himself and treats his wife like shit, and she actually liked Trevor and wanted to be with him, but said she took a vow of marriage so it could not be
The casual psychopathy of CJ really sinks in when you hear him talking about mundane/random stuff in cutscenes or in between missions. He's protective of his sister, he takes Catalina's craziness so maturely, he talks about food, his likes and dislikes and ideals and ideas etc, and all the while I'm thinking: this guy is a mass murderer.
He is displayed in such a laid-back, likeable way, and five minutes later he massacres a bunch of construction workers for petty revenge.
Ooh this is good pro, can't wait to see the comments though
Excellent video. Small correction, it isn't coke that CJ puts in the DA's car. It is actually weed. Truth loves the stuff and a cop says "He must have 2 tons of Mary back here"
To be fair theprofessional doesn't come across as a "you party?" Kinda fella
Catalina and Trevor Phillips together, let that sink in 😂
Shows us GTA protagonists are not good people by any means, just because they do good things doesn't absolve their crimes
Most GTA Missions has evil Missions. 😅
I would love to see the evil and good things each GTA protagonist has done. Especially Niko.
And I would like a lore video on OG Loc being the best rapper alive. And how did he made hits and became famous in GTA 5 as there were Easter eggs of him being a successful rapper
Well CJ and Niko are the deepest GTA protagonists because both have done many bad things but also have a redeem sides in both of them. Like Darth Vader.
GTA 5 and San Andreas are two different timelines. It's possible that OG Loc was just a really good rapper back in the 90s in GTA 5's timeline.
It's probably safe to assume the canon way the Valet went down was by getting KO"d rather than murdered, kinda like how Franklin does the same thing to get a disguise to steal the car. You could choose to kill him, but obviously given the whole point of the mission Carl had to do, I think it's fair to surmise he didn't actually murder the guy or else that's super messed up just to frame a guy with drugs.
But there is a blood pool underneath him, I don't see why it's unlikely
@@malletUsergaming Like every other character ever who gets wrecked in the game? That's hardly proof of his death.
@@TheGravityShifter but it counts in the stats menu as a kill
@@malletUsergaming Yeah but so would "killing" that one character in Liberty City Stories but canonically he survived since we see him in GTA III working as a Mechanic. The game doesn't have a KO mechanic so obviously it's gonna count it as a kill even if it truly isn't.
@@TheGravityShifter I don't know any mechanic in GTA 3 that you knocked out?
Manager: Hey, man
Take me back to Dogg's mansion.
Cj: Not today asshole.
Today, we're taking the scenic route.
“Via the bottom of the ocean”
Cracks me up everytime 😂
i really enjoyed your lore videos keep up with the great work
Happy that you finally posted,hope that soon you make that Claude lore video and that yt don't desmonetized another lore video or any video
I love your content, Professional!
Thanks for another great video professional. I think covering all the gta characters evil doings would be a great idea. It may take you a while to do Claude though because he's so cold and by far the worst. He did everything he did without saying a word. I know that wasn't the reason they didn't give Claude a voice but it does make him seem that much more cold. Kind of like Jason or Michael Myers. They could look you straight in the face and then impale you or something. Anyway, these lore videos are awesome man. 👍👏👏👏
Seriously grow a brain. Name atleast 5 worst things he did?
Hey Professional, could you do one of these for Toni Cipriani from Liberty City Stories? I feel like has A LOT of things that he's done that were evil.
That’s what happens when you Join the mafia
or niko who did very bad and very good things
@@gamingandmapping2281 Niko was one of the craziest murders in GTA universe. He even says that he saw 20 kids lined up and butchered with their hands cut off. No one else in GTA has seen anything like that.🤔
8:04 you a real one for not shooting the peds. Better than me because i always did 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾
What about that mission Supply Lines? CJ pilots a remote controlled model airplane and blows up mail order vans delivering merchandise for Zero's rival. Blowing up those vans results in the deaths of the delivery drivers. Also, CJ is the one that comes up with the idea to use the the airplane to sabotage Berkley. So CJ isn't acting on anyone's orders- he chooses of his own free will to kill innocent delivery guys to settle a personal vendetta that isn't even his. That's easily worse than framing the D.A.
ZERO IS WORKING FOR CJ
The deliverymen weren't innocent at all. Once you've attacked them, they'll get off their vehicles, pull out a gun & then start shooting your plane.
Burying someone alive tops any list
omg yesss i love ur videos im happy to see this one uploaded
there were times i kept driving to the construction site feeling guilt about burying him in the cement.
My 5 picks
5.Robbing Caligula Casno
After heist Salvadore call CJ and threating him he gonna kill him and his family olso that event causes Salvadore become very paranoid for rest of his life
4.Trespassing military base to steel Jetpack
Acording commanding offier he said that stolen jetpack are worth $60,000,000
BTW Similar plot from Mike Toreno about hijack military plane from Aircraft carrier.
3.Working with Catalina
No need to explain
2.Ruin Madd Dogg career
same
1. Helping Tenpenny
same
34:05 og Loc singing in the back is comedy gold 😂
Finally. The lore video
I think all those Catalina mission are just to extend the storyline and let us have more fun, the only reason we get to find San Fierro and go on is because Caesar told us about the race, if he wins he wins and go to San Fierros
You can actually save the construction worker in the 'Deconstruction' mission, you just need some satchel charges, you can find one near the hospital near the beach in SF, when you throw the mobil toilet in the pit, pit the satchel charges and blow them, the toilet will fly out of the pit and you can still continue the mission, and I'm sure that the person inside will be alive.
Bomb proof toilet lol
What about the fact that he runs over thousands of people, sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose.
Ever think about their families? Imagine how sad they must feel. And it's all because they waved their hand at you because you were speeding next to them.
I think the reason for CJ working for Tenpenny, even if Toreno had Sweet under his wing; is the fact that César, Kendl and many other people close CJ were still out there and could have been the main targets if CJ ever thought of trying to do something against C.R.A.S.H.
Also because CJ didn’t entirely trust Toreno.
One detail about the second topic:
The last part of the game is a reference to the Los Angeles Riots, even the reasons are similar (4 cops were absolved after attacking a black driver due to lack of evidence) the riots happened between 29/april to 4/may of 1992 (A.K.A. 6 days of chaos in the city) and and the results were 53 people killed, over 2.000 wounded and 11.000 people arrested.
So CJ basically caused the LA Riots in San Andreas.
For number 5: it's marijuana, not coke. Also, even though the only interaction we have with this DA is his wanting to prosecute TP and Pulaski, you have to remember that he's still a DA in early 90's SoCal. Meaning the man was far more likely complicit in police corruption than not. From CJ's perspective, it's no different than taking out a rival gang member. And of course he enjoys it, he gets to see a piece of that corrupt judicial system eat itself. From the lowliest street cop to the highest court judge, the saying at the time was "Live by the sword, die by the sword." After seeing so many guilty go free and so many innocent locked up because of the apathy or malice of public officials like this DA, I imagine it was pretty vindicating to say "Live by the law, die by the law."
For 4 and 2: These are really evil things that TP and Pulaski did. All the Catalina stuff was to get money together to pay for weed that TP was forcing CJ to pay for so he could frame the DA. As for the witnesses, well that one's obvious. If he doesn't comply, CRASH can straight up execute Sweet, rape and murder Kendl, then have CJ falsely imprisoned for murdering a cop as the cherry on top. Also, just because Toreno SAID he'd protect Sweet and CJ, doesn't mean he actually would. Thankfully CJ's been around the block enough to know that this theoretical protection is conditional, as Toreno straight up says that he doesn't give a shit about any of them, CJ included (unless he remains useful). If it wasn't for the extortion and coercion committed by those two aforementioned crooked badges, CJ most likely never would have done any of these things.
As for the remorse aspect: It's way too easy for us to judge from a place of safety, but if a person grows up around death all their lives, life becomes cheaper. There are still plenty of places in the world today where people will simply step over the dead bodies of their fellow man as easily as stepping over a discarded piece of trash.
For 3 and 1: Yep. Self-serving, shitty moves by a pretty horribly flawed person. The murders are obviously the worst part, but not admitting to Madd Dogg that he stole his rhyme book rubbed me the wrong way, especially later on when he calls Madd Dogg a "fucking degenerate" for giving his house to a coke dealer knowing full well it was his own fault. That was undoubtedly the most bitch ass move CJ made during the whole game.
This is too long to be called "my two cents," so I'll say this was my "Ten Pennies" instead :) Great video as always, you truly are a Pro at this!
