@king kingin I made this whole "essay" about it that I post on a bunch of videos so I'll just let you hear it because it says everything that's wrong with him and how he can be improved Respawn needs to start giving the new legends some love. They are too afraid to make them "overpowered" so they make them underpowered, and the meta doesn't even change. You have characters that have been in the game from the start like Pathfinder and Wraith yet their abilities are far more powerful than ANY of the new legends that are supposed to change the meta. Revenant has been especially disappointing. I have lots of ideas of how he could be changed, so here they are. I don't care if the changes made to him aren't these exactly, we just need him to be fixed. • The Passive I was beyond hyped for Revenant but his abilities don't even nearly stack up to any of the base legends. His climbing is no where near as high as they hyped it up to be and he can not keep up with a legend like pathfinder who can scale a building instantly with his grapple. His climbing needs to be infinite. This is not at all overpowered because it still barely keeps up with a pathfinder grapple and it is in a straight line so you can easily be shot. If not infinite, it definitely needs to be faster because you are a sitting duck. His crouch walking is definitely great, but I recommend that it should be just a smidge faster. • The Tactical His tactical also does not have a big enough area of effect so it almost never gets used. It needs to do more damage as well so that can scare people into not wanting to go near it. • The Ultimate I'm sorry, but his totem is completely USELESS. You run into a fight with 100 health and instantly get smacked down and then you have to waste an entire med kit and so much time. In the time it takes you to heal, the other team has already healed as well and the fight is just reset. When it was first revealed in the cinematic trailer, I thought the death totem would make you a shadow from the Halloween event. I think that would be so much more fun then just using your weapons. You would go in and get a hit or two, and then respawn and be able to push in with your weapons. This is probably unrealistic, so a more reasonable buff to the totem would be to go in with your shields included with your health. This way it actually feels like you have protection from the totem. You should also respawn with at LEAST 50 health so that you are not disabled from having to heal. If the shields were added when you became a shadow then you should respawn with at least 75% of your shields so you can get back to the fight and not leave time for the enemy to heal. The range of the totem should also be unlimited. There is already a timer for how long it lasts, so the small range on top of that is just overkill. • The Hitbox I am not an expert about this, but the youtuber, TheGamingMerchant, recently made a video about Revenant's hitbox. He apparently has the biggest chest area out of all the legends. His legs are the only thing skinny about him. With how big his hitbox currently is, he should have fortified and not low profile. His hitbox really needs some tweaking because from what this video revealed, it is truly broken. All of these changes would easily make Revenant a meta legend. We need more legends that have pick rates similar to Wraith and Pathfinder. I don't want to keep seeing Wraiths, I want to see a new legend take the spot of "top legend". New legends should be S-tier quality, not have the lowest pick rates. Please take my criticism into consideration. I love Revenant and his backstory, but his abilities need some heavy reworks. We're already almost 2 months into season 4 and nothing is seeming to be done about any of this. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
One voice line he says makes me smile because he says it in a very gentle amd sweet tone, “Shhh, it’s just a bad dream…it’ll be over soon.” I feel like he not only says that to his victims but also to himself…
its my favorite kill line, its the only one I'll use, I love revenant he's one of my mains but over the 2 years I've played I've gotten more attached to him as I realize just how wronged he was. he may no long be human physically, but he is still human mentally and emotionally, he feels pain just like we do. Knowing how much that finding out he was a simulacrum is sad, I feel like he deserved better
I actually really want revenant to have a human skin of himself, to help a tad bit with the hitbox, make him as tall as caustic and with the hitbox of mirage. I think that’d be cool.
jake lol Better idea than ? Y’all as caustic thick as mirage, if you have a better idea then I’d like to hear honesty. I feel like I’d represent the human form of himself the finest. Unless u wanna make him as tall as pathfinder and as thick as caustic.
In-universe, Simulacrum are made by digitizing/copying a dead persons brain into a mechanical body. (I think). I presume that normal Simulacrum only have their minds copied into the one new body, with the original meat bag being lost/buried/whatever. With Rev, it looks like they are keeping his human head alive to puppet the metal body, so when a robotic body “dies”, they wipe the memories and copy paste the mind into the next body. Or something else, idk, I’m thinking of the whole thing like how Father remade Greed in FMAB, by sticking him in Lings body but with no memories of the “previous” Greed.
He's isn't acting like a hive mind he only controls 1 body at a time when 1 body is damaged beyond repair/destroyed the program erase the memory of the fatal job so when he fail a a job and he's body is destroyed or unable to be repaired, he doesn't have memory of ever taking that job
Ever since I learned The Boney Boi’s back Story I couldn’t help but feel sorry for what has been through (even though he is hit man who enjoys killing to a VERY unhealthy degree) but after I heard His personalized Kill Quips for each and every legend.....fucking heart was smashed....this man lost everything even his own self, and yet after all he has done and the way he acts currently towards others, I still hold high level of respect for the character they created But know this....he will get what is coming to him one way or another be it by Forge’s Resurrected/Cyborg Hands Or the Hands of the Wolf.

This breaks my heart SERIOUSLY, I believe people should take this lore to heart, because even though Revenant loved to kill at least he tried to find away to stop. Example: Their's alot of people that go through TERRIBLE situations and still come out being the kindest person on planet earth, the point I'm trying to make is that if you are going through something terrible right now try to come out nicer and better than you were before the terrible event started.

Hol up revenat used to be in fact human just like ashe from tf2, just that he was killed the syndicate recovered him and uploaded his mind to a robotic body to have him keep working for them but made him believe he was still alive. I believe i read that somewhere
Revenant's death totem was developed from ancient alien technology like the phasing tech. We do not know the origin or development yet, but the totem uses teleportation like other ARK tech and the whole shadowform is likely a side-effect of these experiments to teleport soldiers back to the totem before they are killed in battle.

Hei I was reading this now in season 13 when new legend "NEWCASTLE" is announced. And at 14:50 I saw that they mention him in the files which is INSANE because that means they have been planning to put him in the game for more than 2 years!!! Its the file .004,the first paragraph You can make a video of like 10 seconds just to mention this for people to know how thoughtful Respawn Entertainmet is
My three favorite revenant quotes- "one slice stem to stern and it all spills out" "shh it's just a bad dream, it'll be over soon" "no one is coming to save you no one ever was" he's my main now and my season 4 kd has skyrocketed thanks to him
Really appreciated the extra editing for the backstory bits :) I don't even play Apex myself but I enjoy the channel for how you present things, & I enjoy seeing how the mechanics & story work out at least :) Keep up the good work sir!
That part where you said revenant blames his programming reminds of that futurama episode where bender would commit crimes and his programming would just get blamed
Revenant actually is human but he is in a robot body, the reason why he can be programmed is because they took his head kept it alive and put in wires to deliver electricity and blood into it and turned it into a early mainframe
Imagine revenant and pathfinder switching personalities. Like revenant says, “ im coming for you friend” and, “ whos ready to fly on a zipline? I AM !”
Perhaps the reason his programming messed up at that point bc that’s how he dies when he was a human he was shot in the neck or something and it triggered a memor... SHUT UP SKIN SUIT
the issue about this video now that i watch it in May is this video didnt actually talk about Simulacrum which is what Revenant actually is: inbetween a Cyborg and an android/AI, Simulacrum is former human being having their consciousness preserved and upload into a robotic body, and all of them are programmed to believe they are still human just to preserve their sanity. Hence the s5 trailer which Loba found Revenant's original head (apparently spine and nerve system attached).
I like to think that revenant before the broken programming thought he had something that a normal human would use in that situation (maybe the programming made him think he had plated armor on the clothing the program makes him think he has on, the hand thing, maybe he thought he thought he had a knife, hell the climbing thing could be explained some way as well)
You know at first, when I saw the trailer I thought revenant was a human who's passive was the ability to turn into a mechanized soldier(kinda like crypto but better) and his main ability was to be able to make bullets and abilities go through him in his mech suit or make him into rage mode like in God of war
He's not necessarily blood thirsty for killing Lobas mother. She pointed a loaded weapon at him in self defense. He didn't kill many who were un armed or attempting to run.
Revenant was a human just like ash every simulacrum is a human brain inside a functioning robot which is why ash attacks the remnant fleet so she can find her background that human merc we see is revenant which is why he gets those random flashbacks of his human life.
I always figured that since revenant's programming can simulate a fake apartment it can do other things like that. The programming can also make him think that he's dodging bullets or just has really good body armor. Him stabbing someone through the chest with his arm can be stabbing with a knife, him climbing up walls could be seen as using climbing gear like grapples and stuff. Basically anything the body did that was inhuman was changed to be more normal in his mind.
I’m commenting this before watching to see if my perspective changes: Revenant is the least developed character when it comes to story and abilities. Everybody’s abilities feel rooted in the realm of technological possibility, even wraith’s portal has some scientific reasoning behind it. But revenants don’t make any sense to me what so ever. He summons a demon totem thing out of the ground? His silence ability is this black hole looking thing? How does it disable abilities? And how do they relate to his character at all? He’s a deadly assassin, silence should deafen enemies so they don’t know where your team will strike from. The death totem is cool but I wish it felt less like a robot has magic powers. After watching: Nothing was explained that I wanted. Still pissed
If you’ve ever played the Titanfall series, you’d know that there is/was an alien civilization out there that had technology humans had never seen (see The Ark from Titanfall 2). It’s been alluded to that Revenant’s abilities have something to do with this.
4:28 thats some pretty good writing imo im not a writing expert but that was some really engaging stuff, they should release some books or something about lore of titanfall and apex.
What if Pathfinder is also a simulacrum with the thought of finding his creators only to kill them?And the friendly robot is just a way of his a.i 's function of acting?
2:42 there are more than 2 simulacrums in tf2 First is Ash (left picture), she was destroyed during the battle on Typhoon (tf2 campaign) by the main character Jack Cooper. Then she was brought back by vinson dynamics, but she was programmed in a way, that she worked for them (i mean for VD). The second picture is a simulacrum pilot. More specifically a phase shift pilot. There were many pilots like this during the campaign and even in the multiplayer. So I assume this is one of the basic chassis for pilot simulacrums. The other one is the stim pilot. It has different ability, but still a simulacrum and it's also popular in the multiplayer. I think the chassis works the same way as cars. You can buy one from the existing types (stim and phase), for a specific price. If you want a personalized chassis, then you have to pay more. Knowing that revenant and ash were bounty hunters they can afford such an expense. Or more likely they don't have to pay for it. If before the regeneration they sign a contract with one big company (like hammond, VD, or others) the company will make your simulacrum from their buget, but you gonna work for them, to pay it back. But correct me if I'm wrong.
you're right, I totally looked over that, but somehow these simulacrums lack any real personality like Ash or Revenant, somehow I feel like they're custom programmed or something
correction. Apex legends and titanfall occur in parallel universes. so yes the standard pilot chasis may exist in Apex. it wouldn't technically be the TF2 one. also its possible our wraith comes from the TF2 universe and Voidwalker wraith comes from the Apex legends universe. watch the flying teacups video on the voidwalker event
I remember in titanfall2’s concept art there was a character called the jester who apparently had a character who was turned into a simulacrum without his knowledge, and still thinks is human. This has a very similar back story to revenant, which is why I think revenant was originally going to be a major character in titanfall2. But the chances are that they scraped his character in TF2 and tried to put him in TF3, but I guess they just decided to put his character in apex when TF3 was changed to be apex legends
While I mostly agree with the backstory you talking about TGM, the one thing I think is wrong is about Revenant having no control over his killing because of his programming. Revenant already enjoyed killing and murdering people long before, and it’s clear in his last loading screen that his true aim is to destroy Hammond Robotics - along with everyone in it. Given that Revenant enjoys people dying, he’s probably just in the Apex Games for the lulz, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike at Hammond Robotics when the opportunity arises. Point being, he’s not really a slave to his programming, because his programming already broke down. The Syndicate’s PR manager even mentioned they have no way to get Revenant forcibly under their control again, so they just gave Revenant tasty bait to entertain himself with until they can find a way to destroy Revenant for good, whereas Revenant gets to goof off and do what he loves without anyone trying to stop him.... at least until he’s bored of the Apex Games.
once i got respawned while I was using revenant and he said “ah, why can’t I just die already”.... that hit hard
I heard that today
He’s suicidal
Well think about it. He wasnt always as good as he is. He learned from experience or in his case. Dying over and over again millions of different ways. Itll do that to you

Respawn needs to start giving the new legends some love. They are too afraid to make them "overpowered" so they make them underpowered, and the meta doesn't even change. You have characters that have been in the game from the start like Pathfinder and Wraith yet their abilities are far more powerful than ANY of the new legends that are supposed to change the meta. Revenant has been especially disappointing. I have lots of ideas of how he could be changed, so here they are. I don't care if the changes made to him aren't these exactly, we just need him to be fixed.
• The Passive
I was beyond hyped for Revenant but his abilities don't even nearly stack up to any of the base legends. His climbing is no where near as high as they hyped it up to be and he can not keep up with a legend like pathfinder who can scale a building instantly with his grapple. His climbing needs to be infinite. This is not at all overpowered because it still barely keeps up with a pathfinder grapple and it is in a straight line so you can easily be shot. If not infinite, it definitely needs to be faster because you are a sitting duck. His crouch walking is definitely great, but I recommend that it should be just a smidge faster.
• The Tactical
His tactical also does not have a big enough area of effect so it almost never gets used. It needs to do more damage as well so that can scare people into not wanting to go near it.
• The Ultimate
I'm sorry, but his totem is completely USELESS. You run into a fight with 100 health and instantly get smacked down and then you have to waste an entire med kit and so much time. In the time it takes you to heal, the other team has already healed as well and the fight is just reset. When it was first revealed in the cinematic trailer, I thought the death totem would make you a shadow from the Halloween event. I think that would be so much more fun then just using your weapons. You would go in and get a hit or two, and then respawn and be able to push in with your weapons. This is probably unrealistic, so a more reasonable buff to the totem would be to go in with your shields included with your health. This way it actually feels like you have protection from the totem.

If the shields were added when you became a shadow then you should respawn with at least 75% of your shields so you can get back to the fight and not leave time for the enemy to heal. The range of the totem should also be unlimited. There is already a timer for how long it lasts, so the small range on top of that is just overkill.
• The Hitbox
I am not an expert about this, but the youtuber, TheGamingMerchant, recently made a video about Revenant's hitbox. He apparently has the biggest chest area out of all the legends. His legs are the only thing skinny about him. With how big his hitbox currently is, he should have fortified and not low profile. His hitbox really needs some tweaking because from what this video revealed, it is truly broken.
All of these changes would easily make Revenant a meta legend. We need more legends that have pick rates similar to Wraith and Pathfinder. I don't want to keep seeing Wraiths, I want to see a new legend take the spot of "top legend". New legends should be S-tier quality, not have the lowest pick rates. Please take my criticism into consideration. I love Revenant and his backstory, but his abilities need some heavy reworks.

And at 14:50 I saw that they mention him in the files which is INSANE because that means they have been planning to put him in the game for more than 2 years!!!
Its the file .004,the first paragraph
You can make a video of like 10 seconds just to mention this for people to know how thoughtful Respawn Entertainmet is
Who else sat back relaxed and enjoyed
Imagine Crypto being chased down by Revenant in his character teaser☠️
Cypto is always ready
You think you’re not being watched? Dont be an idiot
@@mazuki7602 yeah he watch you when you take abath or going to toliet
My three favorite revenant quotes- "one slice stem to stern and it all spills out" "shh it's just a bad dream, it'll be over soon" "no one is coming to save you no one ever was" he's my main now and my season 4 kd has skyrocketed thanks to him
Revenant: huh my skin feels more... metallic
I was so excited for this, love your lore videos, keep up the good work!
Really appreciated the extra editing for the backstory bits :)
I don't even play Apex myself but I enjoy the channel for how you present things, & I enjoy seeing how the mechanics & story work out at least :)
Keep up the good work sir!
glad you enjoyed it, I appreciate the support!
That part where you said revenant blames his programming reminds of that futurama episode where bender would commit crimes and his programming would just get blamed
It would be cool if Respawn would make it that during a match, Revenant would glitch and see himself as human
True
I like how Respawn is even bothering to try and tell a story in what is ultimately an endless multiplayer game
Fuse is the oldest human in the game.
Revenant: *cracks metallic knuckles*
3:32 aight let me pop off this med kit
Revenant was human we was turned into a cyborg, his human head is still alive controlling his revenant bodies. Watch the new trailer
Link?
@@floweytheflower4869 it's the Loba trailer
Seeing the quality of writing for Revenant's backstory. I am very excited for my main, Caustic.
he is evil gas man. thats all I know at least.
Revenant actually is human but he is in a robot body, the reason why he can be programmed is because they took his head kept it alive and put in wires to deliver electricity and blood into it and turned it into a early mainframe
Forge: Hammond robotics are great!
Revenant: Bippity Boppity your spine is my property!
Yes
Hippity hoppity your spine now do a snappity
“What part of IMMORTAL MURDER ROBOT don’t you get?!” Im sorry but I’m laughing so hard lmfao
Hey congratulations, That one text string piece of lore confirms your one theory about Wattson making caustic less deadly and making him better.
I know that’s worded weird but I think you can get my drift
They literally can make a whole movie on his origin story.
Imagine revenant and pathfinder switching personalities. Like revenant says, “ im coming for you friend” and, “ whos ready to fly on a zipline? I AM !”
That would be a funny for April fools
Perhaps the reason his programming messed up at that point bc that’s how he dies when he was a human he was shot in the neck or something and it triggered a memor...
SHUT UP SKIN SUIT
the issue about this video now that i watch it in May is this video didnt actually talk about Simulacrum which is what Revenant actually is: inbetween a Cyborg and an android/AI, Simulacrum is former human being having their consciousness preserved and upload into a robotic body, and all of them are programmed to believe they are still human just to preserve their sanity. Hence the s5 trailer which Loba found Revenant's original head (apparently spine and nerve system attached).
How can people dislike a video that required so much effort I just don’t understand
Firebreak134 134 can I Dislike a Dislike?
No wonder why he killed Lobas parents, he could buy so many packs with the 10 mil points
Revenant: “I wanted to be a killing machine, and they made me one...”
I like to think that revenant before the broken programming thought he had something that a normal human would use in that situation (maybe the programming made him think he had plated armor on the clothing the program makes him think he has on, the hand thing, maybe he thought he thought he had a knife, hell the climbing thing could be explained some way as well)
You know at first, when I saw the trailer I thought revenant was a human who's passive was the ability to turn into a mechanized soldier(kinda like crypto but better) and his main ability was to be able to make bullets and abilities go through him in his mech suit or make him into rage mode like in God of war
He's not necessarily blood thirsty for killing Lobas mother. She pointed a loaded weapon at him in self defense. He didn't kill many who were un armed or attempting to run.
Love when you make these kind of videos, keep it up
Now thinking about it,
Simulacrums are robots with a human consciousness,
does that mean its possible to turn a Titan into a Simulacrum?
I'm a loba main and I love their conversations
I'm a Reverant main and I also find their conversations funny and interesting
Great vid! I dip out of apex usually half a season every season so I miss alit of core lore. So thank you so much for this
Revenant was a human just like ash every simulacrum is a human brain inside a functioning robot which is why ash attacks the remnant fleet so she can find her background that human merc we see is revenant which is why he gets those random flashbacks of his human life.
I always figured that since revenant's programming can simulate a fake apartment it can do other things like that. The programming can also make him think that he's dodging bullets or just has really good body armor. Him stabbing someone through the chest with his arm can be stabbing with a knife, him climbing up walls could be seen as using climbing gear like grapples and stuff. Basically anything the body did that was inhuman was changed to be more normal in his mind.
Hands down the coolest legend in Apex.. what got me really playing the game to be honest.
That time when he says “come to kill me little girl?” In the season 5 trailer is super epic
Yeah yeah revenant is cool and all BUT THOSE SNIPES AT THE BEGINNING
"ever feel like your not alone in a room ? ,your not."
"for a whole lot of apex coins" lol
Dude i want a apex legend animation series
Proud revenant main here, will never change. Only if they will release a more sinister and evil legend..
Revenant main aswell, but when loba is coming i'll problably main her
@@bigsmoke9339 Main main, or will you just main her for 1 week and then move on..I think most people main Loba just cuz shes new
The saddest part of his story are his weak abilities 😢
“An immortal murder robot”
2 seconds later shows a game where revenant is dead
😑
He has endless amounts of bodies to reconnect into if he dies, he is basically immortal
Mr. Bones ok
He was an assassin that was killed. But he was to valuable to lose so he became the first simulacrome 500 years before he found out. Yeah
Spooky man's backstory :D
Love this channel, always so informative and you have really good videos. Not clickbait like most other channels
I’m commenting this before watching to see if my perspective changes: Revenant is the least developed character when it comes to story and abilities. Everybody’s abilities feel rooted in the realm of technological possibility, even wraith’s portal has some scientific reasoning behind it. But revenants don’t make any sense to me what so ever. He summons a demon totem thing out of the ground? His silence ability is this black hole looking thing? How does it disable abilities? And how do they relate to his character at all? He’s a deadly assassin, silence should deafen enemies so they don’t know where your team will strike from. The death totem is cool but I wish it felt less like a robot has magic powers.
After watching: Nothing was explained that I wanted. Still pissed
The syndicate probably just gave him those abilities to make his appearance on TV more appealing
If you’ve ever played the Titanfall series, you’d know that there is/was an alien civilization out there that had technology humans had never seen (see The Ark from Titanfall 2). It’s been alluded to that Revenant’s abilities have something to do with this.
Would he just wonder “huh guess I’m bulletproof” and never think of it?
*”THE WORLD WILL KNOW PAIN”*
lul
4:28 thats some pretty good writing imo im not a writing expert but that was some really engaging stuff, they should release some books or something about lore of titanfall and apex.
What if Pathfinder is also a simulacrum with the thought of finding his creators only to kill them?And the friendly robot is just a way of his a.i 's function of acting?
Allen Kurian You might have a point
i’m pretty sure pathfinder is marvn from titanfall 2 who is definately a robot
@@papaincredibillis9610 maybe so I just stated what i thought could have been a possible theory
2:42 there are more than 2 simulacrums in tf2
First is Ash (left picture), she was destroyed during the battle on Typhoon (tf2 campaign) by the main character Jack Cooper. Then she was brought back by vinson dynamics, but she was programmed in a way, that she worked for them (i mean for VD).
The second picture is a simulacrum pilot. More specifically a phase shift pilot. There were many pilots like this during the campaign and even in the multiplayer. So I assume this is one of the basic chassis for pilot simulacrums. The other one is the stim pilot. It has different ability, but still a simulacrum and it's also popular in the multiplayer.
I think the chassis works the same way as cars. You can buy one from the existing types (stim and phase), for a specific price. If you want a personalized chassis, then you have to pay more. Knowing that revenant and ash were bounty hunters they can afford such an expense. Or more likely they don't have to pay for it. If before the regeneration they sign a contract with one big company (like hammond, VD, or others) the company will make your simulacrum from their buget, but you gonna work for them, to pay it back.
But correct me if I'm wrong.
you're right, I totally looked over that, but somehow these simulacrums lack any real personality like Ash or Revenant, somehow I feel like they're custom programmed or something
correction. Apex legends and titanfall occur in parallel universes. so yes the standard pilot chasis may exist in Apex. it wouldn't technically be the TF2 one. also its possible our wraith comes from the TF2 universe and Voidwalker wraith comes from the Apex legends universe. watch the flying teacups video on the voidwalker event
I feel like the reason he malfunctioned from the glass shard, is because if he was human, it should of killed him
That doesn’t make sense since he was shot by bullets in the trailer
@@bruhmoment3247 well he could’ve used bulletproof armor. Cause all the shots hit him in the torso.
I think he used to be human
“ look at it this way, atleast you get to die…” chills asf
Who else is OG and remembers that there wasn’t any characters you could buy
Not you cause you could always buy caustic and mirage
@@TwistedBeetle I think we caught a faker in our midst
Rev is my fave character. And its funny because the first skin i got was a legendary
On the 3rd loading screen 7:42 “His name is Lowell...” BTW that’s my real name
I’m guessing your last name is werblow then?
@Aaron Mayers lmao... NO
I remember in titanfall2’s concept art there was a character called the jester who apparently had a character who was turned into a simulacrum without his knowledge, and still thinks is human. This has a very similar back story to revenant, which is why I think revenant was originally going to be a major character in titanfall2. But the chances are that they scraped his character in TF2 and tried to put him in TF3, but I guess they just decided to put his character in apex when TF3 was changed to be apex legends
RIP to the chef. He is innocent 😭😭😭
literally just unlocked all loading screens with revenent's story a second ago
No one:
Revenant: WHY CAN'T I JUST DIE ALREADY!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!!!!
I just realized that if Forge never wanted to join then we already wouldve had Newcastle. Just not Jackson as Newcastle...
Awesome thanks for the breakdown on his history but I really wonder what the deal with the shadows is. Is it magic?
I'll be doing a video on that soon :) My theory is that it's alien/experimental technology that creates simulacrums of whoever interacts with it
While I mostly agree with the backstory you talking about TGM, the one thing I think is wrong is about Revenant having no control over his killing because of his programming. Revenant already enjoyed killing and murdering people long before, and it’s clear in his last loading screen that his true aim is to destroy Hammond Robotics - along with everyone in it. Given that Revenant enjoys people dying, he’s probably just in the Apex Games for the lulz, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike at Hammond Robotics when the opportunity arises.
Point being, he’s not really a slave to his programming, because his programming already broke down. The Syndicate’s PR manager even mentioned they have no way to get Revenant forcibly under their control again, so they just gave Revenant tasty bait to entertain himself with until they can find a way to destroy Revenant for good, whereas Revenant gets to goof off and do what he loves without anyone trying to stop him.... at least until he’s bored of the Apex Games.
Doom slayer 9:13
It's cool that you can see ash on the screen at 0:56
