Thats probably why he did everything to eat out people including Zofia just to save his Polish well he's not from Poland but I'm sure his parents were. So the government would of gotten to him after he had run out of people to throw under the bus
The lessons his father tried to instill in him were the correct ones - fight for what is yours, face your problems head on - but his method of trying to teach those lessons was completely wrong.
@@dominickstewart433 me sorprende que gente en estos comentarios quieran convencernos de que el padre de BJ es un buen padre, golpeaba a su mujer, a su hijo, el mismo dice que se casó con una judia por el dinero y cuando los nazis ganaron vendió a su esposa a los nazis (junto a varios vecinos, creo que incluyendo a los Afro americanos también) no, no era una buena persona, era un monstruo. Solo tenia poder sobre BJ porque era un niño y el creció, vio al monstruo e hizo lo mejor que se puede hacer con un monstruo que no solo no se arrepiente, sino que se siente orgulloso de todo lo que consiguió siéndolo y aun teniendo la arrogancia de querer entregar a su hijo o matarlo con sus propias manos...
What really screwed me up was "if you do no wrong, no monsters will come after you." I don't think B.J. expected his own father to become one of the monsters.
The brutal thing is that he is probably still alive. Since and arm cut off and a hatchet piercing his lung would not kill him rigth away. The hit on the ground will probably kill him.
Well the point I think of that scene is to show the father as a human who is evil as opposed to an evil entity in of himself, the tragedy of BJ's childhood is that he was abused. we often distance ourselves from the understanding that Nazis, fascists, abusers, KKKers, etc are bad people not just evil sprouted from the ground so its a very compelling narrative point to say "This man was human and he deserved what he got" as opposed to "heres a one dimensional character to hate that you'll kill"
@@cazicazi1940Ideology always destroys Family lifestyle,no matter what it will be Nazism,Communism or Fascism... BJ's dad was good parent,but he was obsessed with ideological ideas,for example Anti-Semitic Ideologies (like Jews are dirty,Niggas are better to be slaves or they destroy our generation) was even spreaded in Ancient Egypt,during American Civil war and after world war 1,even Adolf Hitler was obsessed with this ideas.Germany was full of anti-semitism which caused Nazism,but Fascism was quite different from Hitler's National Socialism...
I would be totally down to see an SFM animation of that using BJ and Sr.'s models for that scene in GotG2. As I'd imagine Kurt Russell and Chris Pratt's intense exchange would flow well into the dialogue for this.
Since his dad forced william to kill his own dog, i have got to say, i feel absolutely no sympathy or pity for the dad, william literally gone full on john wick on him
The scene when BJ and his dad go down to the basement looking for the "monsters" has always stuck with me. It's one of the few, if not the only, instance where his dad is not a completely unlikeable character. On top of that, and I have no idea if it's deliberate or not, the little look his dad gives him when he asks "can I keep the gun" makes it seem like, for a moment, there's some degree of bonding there. As if BJ showing his interest in a gun was something that made him proud. I dunno. The game has great basic gameplay, but the addition of such a well-crafted story adds a lot to a game that's otherwise just about blasting Nazis to the moon and back.
According to the wiki,that basement scene wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart,it was because he knew he would shut up and quit making noise at night
@@Sawyer14 @Old Machines the right way i my dad with me about standing up to monsters was when we watch power rangers early in the morning and pretended to be scared but always knew i was never going to be scared when he knew he was there to mentor me like a real parent would as a true father would set morals and put their son on the right path and advice theme into doing what right
True, the most efficient way of killing Blazkowicz, would have to bomb the whole house area with bombs until there is no single thing alive on it anymore, turning Blazkowicz to dust, with a very minimal survival chance. But they didn't because of their arrogance. They wanted to capture him alive. Because they wanted to trial him and then publicly execute him, by beheading him with a sword.
I was expecting Rip to just give up the moment Billy pressed his forehead on the barrel. But the senile fool pulled the trigger without hesitation. He was willing to sell his wife and son for the sake of luxury and comfort. That's no father, that's an obstacle. Also Billie with with the burn: "I'd be rotting in a grave and still be a better father than you."
The fact that's BJ's dad just gives me the same vibes that baby boomers do nowadays makes this all that much funnier. This is one of the few RUclips comments I've read recently that made me laugh out loud.
Yeah,the basement part wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart,he admits to beating him because he made noise at night,the reason he did that was because he just wanted his son to quit making noise at night
William was a innocent kid who lost his gentleness and became a cold hearted guy You can see when his father pointed a double barrel shotgun point blank in him and ready to fire He didn't even flinch
I wouldn't say he became cold-hearted, he still shows empathy for the people he's close with, but the only people that make him look cold-hearted is his father and the nazis. And when soldiers go to war, their first kill traumatizes them, but the more they kill their enemies they will overcome their fear of death or anyone walking all over them
At that point Bj had fought an entire army of nazis and their mechanical creations, survived the zombie apocalypse, and took a grenade to the face. No silly shotgun is scaring him
This part of the game was just sad. Absolutely sad. coming fresh from the study of Biopower (basically, how to genetically create the most perfect human being, and to discard everything else), seeing this just made me start sobbing. Because this is exactly the mindset that these people had, and still have.
"They're gonna walk all over you 'till there's nothing left." Best use of dramatic irony I've ever seen in a video game. You know cause of the whole Nazis taking over thing.
10:03 I felt that. To me, hearing him get choked up at the very idea that his own father is pointing a gun at him is just so surreal. As if, even to Blazko there are some things that can just be too messed up. Superb voice acting.
This scene was honestly gut-wrenching. You see the flashback with Billy's parents and knew Billy's dad was a prick. But here I wondered if Billy's father was still alive after everything that has happened. Then you find out that not only is he, but that he sold his own wife and son out to the enemy. Truly tragic.
The lesson here is always inspire your children to fight their own battles, but never terrorize them into doing so, for you never know if your terror will come knocking back on your own door one day.
6:20 gotta be honest: when playing through this level for the first time I mistook B.J.'s dad for a pure hallucination. Like a manifestation of his Childhood Trauma. But I guess that was what made killing him all the more satisfying. EDIT: HOLY SHIT! OVER 350 LIKES!! That's more than any over comment I ever posted.
The only bad thing about this game is that the writers having shitty humor and always forced something funny in some scenes which always ruins it, the previous game didn't have that forced haha parts and knew how to balance the comedy and seriousness
These are some of my favorite games, but the lighting was pretty bad in these games. There were times where there'd be a fog, or a dimly lit room or if it was a metallic room, the light would reflect off everything and basically, you couldn't see anything. I died way too many unnecessary deaths because I couldn't see the enemies in the lights.
Too bad the ending kinda shit the bed by being way too sudden, and to top that off there still hasn't been an actual conclusion. The biggest problem with it was that so much of the story felt pointless.
@@alixir3010 that would be legal, because every regime like nazism "cleans up" everyone who is disagree. Was it right to kill him? Yes. Was it legal? No
if you read the notes around, the father also sold out all his best friends and business partners, people who supported him when they thought he was down, but were later tired of his bulshit because he was mooching off them and failing to do his part of the work. When they got tired of his shit and wanted nothing to do with him cause of his incompetence and abuse, he later false reported them to the nazi's to take them (and most likely their entire families) out of the equation and get everything in their absence.
This and after the courtroom shootout really made me feel for BJ. Him saying he cant do it anymore and that he wants to see his kids really hit me hard
Yuri in MW3 and Nick Reyes in Infinite Warfare killed Overlord in MW1 and MW2 as an act of revenge. (I know this would get controversial but I meant their classical roles.)
9:20 “white mans gotta keep it Christian” As a Christian myself, this scene hurt, because a lot of us are not like him and don’t think like that! Those that think like that are condemned
It's a shame most don't think like that... it's a shame any Abraham-Judaeo religion was forced among Europeans. But for Christianity to catch on among Europeans out of all them is perhaps the saddest... any other religion and we would have ended the cancer that is Judaism.
Its a Hollywood stereotype. Dont let somw exaggerated nonsense bother you. If someone wants to believe thats how a Christian thinks and acts then that just shows how uneducated they are.
@@sirgoogus4005 well I think there is certainly a connection to be made between white supremacists and Christians for example during the American civil war the south argued the bible aloud them to use slaves and a lot of nazis use the bible to prove ayan race supremacy
back in those days that kind of mind set in christians was a thing, you gotta realize this was back in the 1920's segregation was still a thing, black people and anyone who weren't white or american were treated like crap or just straight up killed. christians don't believe that NOW but back then that kind of belief was just how things were. the KKK was a christian movement after all.
Ok but not gonna lie, the monster in the basement scene was literally the ONLY time we see Mr Blazkowicz being a good dad. Wish he was more like that to his son instead of some abusive jerk
I think they made him too evil in this game. I wish they added more nuance to his character, scenes like that make us realize that every human has their good side, even if they’re horrible people in the end. I think many of us have had moments like that with our parents, I know I have more than a fair share of great, and awful memories with my own father so it hits home a little more with me, but the game decided to make him even more racist and paranoid and heartless in his old age. Such a shame.
"Daddy, I'm your son." I don't think anyone will read this but I've had a fight with my father where he pointed a gun at my head. He was piss drunk and we'd already swapped hands over him shoving my mother. I don't have any point to make other than that part made me weep tears. I wish I could have told my Daddy that when that happened to me. That's what i wanted to say. But he was too drunk.
@Android / Dude, the guy had his dad point a gun at him. You don't suddenly turn into Rambo under those circumstances. This is real life. You don't know this guy, and you don't know his dad so saying "you would have died there just to prove a point" as if the problem is his lack of initiative is arrogant and extremely messed up.
@Android / I don't care if it matters to you or not. That was never the discussion. And there is a wrong decision here. and thats commiting suicide by your own father. All that would accomplish is one guy dead, his dad in jail, and their family worse off than before.
@Android / What is that even supposed to mean? The family is BETTER with OP dead and the dad in jail, than they would be with the dad being an alcoholic? That's somehow both extremely optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.
@Android / Because your comment was actually horrible, and OP doesn't need to read that. If you can't process emotions, thats your deal, but most people aren't the same way. You're applying cold lizatd brain logic to an emotional issue.
love this game so much it has everything on it. it can be comedic, serious, scary, emotional and the dialogues and performance of the VA's are just quality and its story is so good
Having a grandfather that treated my father this way and hearing his storys, its weird knowing how broken these people are, the BB gun scene is a prime example of how in such a strange way, they have genuine love for their child, making things a weird game to help alleviate the fear, yet would just as soon beat him too, its horrifying how this was just common place for so long
People who are commenting about how this is "still murder/a crime" are missing the fact that that doesn't matter lol. Laws can be unjust, and it can be good and moral to break those laws, such as in this case.

Right? He's blindly following this cause it agrees with him. Just like the Nazis, he's a white supremacist anti Semitic scumbag
Thats probably why he did everything to eat out people including Zofia just to save his Polish well he's not from Poland but I'm sure his parents were. So the government would of gotten to him after he had run out of people to throw under the bus
The lessons his father tried to instill in him were the correct ones - fight for what is yours, face your problems head on - but his method of trying to teach those lessons was completely wrong.
Not every lesson. Some were about race and sex
@@dominickstewart433 me sorprende que gente en estos comentarios quieran convencernos de que el padre de BJ es un buen padre, golpeaba a su mujer, a su hijo, el mismo dice que se casó con una judia por el dinero y cuando los nazis ganaron vendió a su esposa a los nazis (junto a varios vecinos, creo que incluyendo a los Afro americanos también) no, no era una buena persona, era un monstruo. Solo tenia poder sobre BJ porque era un niño y el creció, vio al monstruo e hizo lo mejor que se puede hacer con un monstruo que no solo no se arrepiente, sino que se siente orgulloso de todo lo que consiguió siéndolo y aun teniendo la arrogancia de querer entregar a su hijo o matarlo con sus propias manos...
What really screwed me up was "if you do no wrong, no monsters will come after you."

@@The-Master-Snail you are a good man, I salute you
Well the point I think of that scene is to show the father as a human who is evil as opposed to an evil entity in of himself, the tragedy of BJ's childhood is that he was abused. we often distance ourselves from the understanding that Nazis, fascists, abusers, KKKers, etc are bad people not just evil sprouted from the ground so its a very compelling narrative point to say "This man was human and he deserved what he got" as opposed to "heres a one dimensional character to hate that you'll kill"
@@cazicazi1940 yes I'm glad Machinegames did justify his dad until it shattered with selling BJ's mother to the nazis

It is learned, not inherited, nazis or fascists don't manifest out of nowhere but are humans falling into yet another ideology
@@cazicazi1940Ideology always destroys Family lifestyle,no matter what it will be Nazism,Communism or Fascism...
BJ's dad was good parent,but he was obsessed with ideological ideas,for example Anti-Semitic Ideologies (like Jews are dirty,Niggas are better to be slaves or they destroy our generation) was even spreaded in Ancient Egypt,during American Civil war and after world war 1,even Adolf Hitler was obsessed with this ideas.Germany was full of anti-semitism which caused Nazism,but Fascism was quite different from Hitler's National Socialism...

@@JRMAV1 o ye i forgot about that
The scene when BJ and his dad go down to the basement looking for the "monsters" has always stuck with me. It's one of the few, if not the only, instance where his dad is not a completely unlikeable character. On top of that, and I have no idea if it's deliberate or not, the little look his dad gives him when he asks "can I keep the gun" makes it seem like, for a moment, there's some degree of bonding there. As if BJ showing his interest in a gun was something that made him proud. I dunno.
The game has great basic gameplay, but the addition of such a well-crafted story adds a lot to a game that's otherwise just about blasting Nazis to the moon and back.
According to the wiki,that basement scene wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart,it was because he knew he would shut up and quit making noise at night
@@Sawyer14 @Old Machines the right way i my dad with me about standing up to monsters was when we watch power rangers early in the morning and pretended to be scared but always knew i was never going to be scared when he knew he was there to mentor me like a real parent would as a true father would set morals and put their son on the right path and advice theme into doing what right
the sad thing is... the monster he was scared of was his father. and decades later he does to the monster exactly how his daddy taught him.

True, the most efficient way of killing Blazkowicz, would have to bomb the whole house area with bombs until there is no single thing alive on it anymore, turning Blazkowicz to dust, with a very minimal survival chance.
But they didn't because of their arrogance. They wanted to capture him alive. Because they wanted to trial him and then publicly execute him, by beheading him with a sword.
They wanted to capture not kill him
cause nazis are showboaty as hell and want the publicity of killing him on tv
They wanted to capture him
So they could film his execution. I agree, not smart. Especially knowing you can just film the house being blown up.
I was expecting Rip to just give up the moment Billy pressed his forehead on the barrel. But the senile fool pulled the trigger without hesitation. He was willing to sell his wife and son for the sake of luxury and comfort. That's no father, that's an obstacle.

The fact that's BJ's dad just gives me the same vibes that baby boomers do nowadays makes this all that much funnier. This is one of the few RUclips comments I've read recently that made me laugh out loud.
Impeccable voice acting and story telling from all parties. This game was incredible on so many levels
“I’ll be in the grave, rottin’ away, and I’ll STILL be a better daddy than you.” Goes insanely hard.
To be honest the basement one was nice. The pocket knife, although harsh, would be a good lesson
The pocket knife would’ve been a good lesson if he didn’t literally shove him out the door and basically call him a pussy the entire time lol
The pocket knife lesson led to the adult BJ, fighting the Nazi and taking back America
The whole point I guess it that even if their relationship is fucking toxic and destructive. That doesn’t mean there aren’t good aspects of it.
Yeah,the basement part wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart,he admits to beating him because he made noise at night,the reason he did that was because he just wanted his son to quit making noise at night
William was a innocent kid who lost his gentleness and became a cold hearted guy
You can see when his father pointed a double barrel shotgun point blank in him and ready to fire
He didn't even flinch
I wouldn't say he became cold-hearted, he still shows empathy for the people he's close with, but the only people that make him look cold-hearted is his father and the nazis. And when soldiers go to war, their first kill traumatizes them, but the more they kill their enemies they will overcome their fear of death or anyone walking all over them
At that point Bj had fought an entire army of nazis and their mechanical creations, survived the zombie apocalypse, and took a grenade to the face. No silly shotgun is scaring him
This guy actually terrifies me. They definitely chose a good actor for the role.
This part of the game was just sad. Absolutely sad. coming fresh from the study of Biopower (basically, how to genetically create the most perfect human being, and to discard everything else), seeing this just made me start sobbing. Because this is exactly the mindset that these people had, and still have.

This scene was honestly gut-wrenching. You see the flashback with Billy's parents and knew Billy's dad was a prick. But here I wondered if Billy's father was still alive after everything that has happened. Then you find out that not only is he, but that he sold his own wife and son out to the enemy. Truly tragic.
“I’ve done two things and none of them has worked! You’re the worst son ever”
Genius, truly
The lesson here is always inspire your children to fight their own battles, but never terrorize them into doing so, for you never know if your terror will come knocking back on your own door one day.
In another shocking act of evil, Terror Billy commits patricide in Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus.
6:20 gotta be honest: when playing through this level for the first time I mistook B.J.'s dad for a pure hallucination. Like a manifestation of his Childhood Trauma. But I guess that was what made killing him all the more satisfying.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT! OVER 350 LIKES!! That's more than any over comment I ever posted.
3:40 that's probably the best thing he's done for his son
I’m not usually a fan of the “bad dad” trope in fiction
But here it’s weirdly respectable what they do
This game was always under appreciated. Graphics, voice acting, story. All pretty solid compared to 90% of games the last 5 years
The only real issue I’ve encountered in the graphics having a stroke,but yes this is one of the best games I think I’ve ever played
The only bad thing about this game is that the writers having shitty humor and always forced something funny in some scenes which always ruins it, the previous game didn't have that forced haha parts and knew how to balance the comedy and seriousness
These are some of my favorite games, but the lighting was pretty bad in these games. There were times where there'd be a fog, or a dimly lit room or if it was a metallic room, the light would reflect off everything and basically, you couldn't see anything. I died way too many unnecessary deaths because I couldn't see the enemies in the lights.
The game had zero replayability for me. Cutscenes over gameplay is what disappointed me single handedly
Too bad the ending kinda shit the bed by being way too sudden, and to top that off there still hasn't been an actual conclusion. The biggest problem with it was that so much of the story felt pointless.

Idk if the “This text was written by an adult” was a joke but I love it.
if you read the notes around, the father also sold out all his best friends and business partners, people who supported him when they thought he was down, but were later tired of his bulshit because he was mooching off them and failing to do his part of the work. When they got tired of his shit and wanted nothing to do with him cause of his incompetence and abuse, he later false reported them to the nazi's to take them (and most likely their entire families) out of the equation and get everything in their absence.
I got recommended this on father's day

As a Christian myself, this scene hurt, because a lot of us are not like him and don’t think like that! Those that think like that are condemned
It's a shame most don't think like that... it's a shame any Abraham-Judaeo religion was forced among Europeans.
But for Christianity to catch on among Europeans out of all them is perhaps the saddest... any other religion and we would have ended the cancer that is Judaism.
Its a Hollywood stereotype.

@@sirgoogus4005 well I think there is certainly a connection to be made between white supremacists and Christians for example during the American civil war the south argued the bible aloud them to use slaves and a lot of nazis use the bible to prove ayan race supremacy

I think they made him too evil in this game. I wish they added more nuance to his character, scenes like that make us realize that every human has their good side, even if they’re horrible people in the end. I think many of us have had moments like that with our parents, I know I have more than a fair share of great, and awful memories with my own father so it hits home a little more with me, but the game decided to make him even more racist and paranoid and heartless in his old age. Such a shame.

@Android / I don't care if it matters to you or not. That was never the discussion. And there is a wrong decision here. and thats commiting suicide by your own father. All that would accomplish is one guy dead, his dad in jail, and their family worse off than before.
@Android / What is that even supposed to mean? The family is BETTER with OP dead and the dad in jail, than they would be with the dad being an alcoholic? That's somehow both extremely optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.
