After one of the post campaign missions there is a conversation you can listen to between Zavala and Ikora in which Zavala asks Ikora to teach him how to use stasis
It was at the perfect moment as well. The reveal as he just finished giving a speech to the entire of sol. Rallying them behind him to take there shot finally at the witness. After so long everyone it had wronged was about to take there vengeance
This was honestly an Optimus Prime level speech. Zavala takes control and leads what could possibly be the largest army in Destiny's history, yet he's not cracking under the pressure. He knows what's at stake and has done everything he can to maintain the advantages he has, even doing what he once considered impure of using the Darkness. Lance Reddick will always be Zavala in my heart, but Keith David has put his heart and soul into what could be one of the most impactful video game (Possibly even in all of fiction) speeches of all time.
His speech is what brought everyone together. We made it flee to deep within its monolith. We infiltrated its monolith and severed its hold on the traveler light. We were then sent in one last time to deal the final blow. During this years of alliances were being rallied by Zavala in preparation for our success. Imagine being lightless like Hawthorn here just showing up to face the witness
at this point Savathun is just that one aunt that always causes drama but is fun to be around and occasionally has good wisdom. whenever she chimes in instead of fear we all just go "oh god what do you want now"
the hives can teleport to the midst of the fight they dont need to gather and this is exactly what they do . many hive guardians help us in that initial phase of the fight
He wasn’t his self this whole expansion. He was rushing to confront the witness and in doing so lost his ghost and light. Even lightless he was willing to lead Sol into this battle. Also nice how he shows respect to worlds first with “one fireteam entered the witnesses monolith”
@@gashousesgeekhouse2851not evil they were supposed to be what we became first. The witness seen this and instantly whispered to them to go into the deep and commune with what they find. Rhulk then helped them spread the worms to there people making the krill turn into the hive. This was just as much vengeance for them as it was for the rest of us
It truly felt like the end. Like destiny could have ended after this completed. The witness a once powerful and unstoppable being is now at the mercy of us and it knows we will not show it any.
@@ArcaneWriter76 it in a way it directly made them go into the deep and find the worm gods. This then created the hive from a weak species who were about to be made lightbearers very soon. The witness ruined there future and created only war and conquest for them.
@@islayreptilianhybrids8947 at 1:18 I believe he’s the one standing between Eris and drifter, that looks exactly like the guardian who appeared in old solar golden gun subclass background since he’s known as the “man with the golden gun”
@@jburgos961wouldn’t be as meaningful. Here it was perfect because it was the witness. It makes sense to have double the fireteam for our final confrontation with it.
I love how when zavala mentions 'humanity', cayde has a shot in humanity's lines too, as in his bio, he was once human, so that is a nice detail they put on purpose.
Well all exos at one point were human. They all still have human emotions and minds in a robotic body. There Brains have been directly copied from there original body’s to there new one
There should be a Lucent Brood army along with Savathun. Zavala saying "Hive" and seeing knights raising their swords and roaring for battle would be a great sight.
Exact same style of punch dive he does in the old OLD Destiny 2 pre-launch Gameplay Premiere trailer. The one where we hear "What We Fight For" for I think the first time.
It took him losing targe to see how he was flawed. During forsaken we see this he refused to use the light to get vengeance on uldren and ever since then he’s been extremely carful about how he uses it. Now that he lost the light he’s no longer afraid. He lost his ghost because of that and learned from it.
Came back to watch this because it is just peak destiny feels. I remember the absolute awe on my face when zavalas fist turned into stasis. God, such a great time man.
Do you think anyone could have stopped her? Honestly, I'm surprised Devrim didn't come to keep an eye on her. If Amanda were still with us do you think SHE would have stayed behind?
Why wouldn’t she. Everything and one was at threat of being finalised forever. Same reason you can ask why other lightless have joined this fight. They didn’t have to but after we severed the witness from the light sent it into running and had it pinned down just outside ifs monolith everyone even the lightless came with the exception of a few joined us for the final assault on the witness. Think about all those cabal and eliksni no light or dark yet they were willing to die to help
Savathuun is that one Steve Buschemi meme: "Hello fellow Defenders of Sol" God shes one of the best fkn characters, legit just here to fk around and find out
Sam man. Keith really isn’t the perfect Zavala imo and can’t make him the same as lance once did but he stepped in for the voice and I can respect that. Lance will be remembered for everything he did
@@adamboy0559 Yes, i know. Believe me, I wish it is Lance voicing Zavala at the TFS, it ain't fair but I feel Keith is playing a bad hand as best he could, those are big shoes to fill and a paycheck cannot be the reason he took it.
I'm so Glad the Witness's forces decided to let Zavala finish his speech right in front of them. Be quite rude if they attacked now while the enemy commander is hyping up his troops with inspiration.
Might as well be the end of destiny for me. Especially since this is the last expansion the majority of them worked on and completed before the firings at Bungie happened.
Neomuna has its own defenses, which we reactivated. And story-wise, I think it's safe now. Otherwise the Guardian would have had to stay there throughout the Lightfall seasons.
@@qualichor1222 My best guess is that Mara contacted Osiris and as soon as he was about to leave, Nimbus was probably begging Osiris for him to tag along.
Savathun: "Oh yeah, don't mind me, i'm definitly not plotting anything."
ironically she isn't, all he plans and plots led solely to killing The Witness and being free.
@@keithfilibeck2390she’s trying to control the pale heart now

She's easy to deal with. We dont need to worry about her.
@@Wildcat442 and? doesn't mean her goal is evil/against us yet.
I somehow completely forgot that despite losing his Ghost, Zavala still has full access to the Darkness powers lmao
It only took him the loss of his ghost to finally stomach the notion of learning to use such powers himself
After one of the post campaign missions there is a conversation you can listen to between Zavala and Ikora in which Zavala asks Ikora to teach him how to use stasis
@@GZeta789wasn't it Elsie he was asking? Or is that much older? I remember him asking Elsie about stasis
@@JJYT92that was a lore tab, but just to get a concept of Stasis. That, plus Ikora’s surveillance may have expedited the learning process for him.
@@jsmaster4779 ignore me I've just had the radio message. Hadn't gotten to that point yet.
Seeing zavala finally use the darkness is peak storytelling.
he was the star of this story so far

0:52 i love that you can hear a pop from shax putting his hands together. Its those small details that really makes this special.
Mans hands are a WMD
I was really confused on what you meant just yea you can just barely hear it
at this point Savathun is just that one aunt that always causes drama but is fun to be around and occasionally has good wisdom.
whenever she chimes in instead of fear we all just go "oh god what do you want now"
In some dialogue between her and luzaku in the blooming deep, she straight up talks like that one rich auntie
I like her, she's hilarious.
She went from our greatest threat to this in just witch queen alone. Rhulk showed us there was power much stronger than savathûn out there
After 10 years this cinematic is peak cinema
Noticed the weapon Mara's using. How fitting that she's using wish ender since it's the weapon of her lover
Savathun being the sole representative of the Hive is hilarious.
Well besides Luzacu right now, who else would represent the Lucent Hive?
@@jsmaster4779 Happy that we have at least one, true and with no strings attached, ally among the Lucent Hive.
There were Lucent Hive and Luzaku fighting alongside us in the battle.
Luzaku (my wife) isn't in the cutscene because she was hovering next to me
the hives can teleport to the midst of the fight they dont need to gather and this is exactly what they do . many hive guardians help us in that initial phase of the fight
Zavala is so tempered and restrained when you answer to his commander side but give him a reason to go full Titan, he doesn’t disappoint.
He wasn’t his self this whole expansion. He was rushing to confront the witness and in doing so lost his ghost and light. Even lightless he was willing to lead Sol into this battle. Also nice how he shows respect to worlds first with “one fireteam entered the witnesses monolith”
Eliksni, Cabal, Awoken, Humanity, *SIGH*.... Hive.

That last mission gave me Avengers Endgame vibes. Rare Bungie W
Exactly what I was thinking
One bad dlc in like 4 years and people act like bungie Ws are rare now lmaoooo
Funny enough, this does Endgame better than Endgame itself!
Gives me lotr rotk final battle, aragorn being zavala here.
It truly felt like the end. Like destiny could have ended after this completed. The witness a once powerful and unstoppable being is now at the mercy of us and it knows we will not show it any.
Simply peak fiction. This is hands-down the best expansion Destiny's ever gotten. and rightly so.
RIP Mr lance. Wish you couldve been here. 😢🕊️🕊️
He was one of the Warlocks in there (Lance was a warlock main, surprisingly)
Lance Reddick is not dead

They were humans, just in an Exo frame now.

Breaks my heart that Lance didnt get to say this speech but also makes me very happy that keith david nailed it.
Instead of giving a speech to a gang, Julius is now giving a speech to an ARMY.

More like 7 buffets given the circumstances.

Zavala might not have his resurrection or light powers anymore but he was still the first one to dive into battle.

They were actually geting closer the full time. At the end there practically here
It reminds me so much of Lord of the Rings. Especially movie 3
Zavala’s speech was so inspiring that the enemy side was waiting for him to finish
Can’t interrupt perfection.
It's ok guys. If they fail then I'll do something about the witness
If Asher was not foolishly wasted we could’ve gotten Vex here as well. Imagine if Vex legions drop in to help because Asher told them to.
Majority of the vex here were followers of the witness. Mainly the soo divisive but some other factions can be seen helping it

If you had shown us this at the beginning. During year one of destiny 1 we would have been hyped af.
This felt like how they did Avengers End Game, but on a much more emotional level
I mean, it's pretty fair that Savathun is here because her entire existence is born from a lie.
And Savathun really hates being lied to
