The shot that ended Roland's life, was the shot heard round Pandora. But the round that went between Jack's eyes... The whole galaxy heard that shit.
“Hey buddies it’s me Roland, after we kill Handsome Jack let’s all go out for milkshakes!”
First time I played borderlands 2 I seriously thought that was roland, I was like "holy shit he's alive!? Wait...wait his voice is different" them I got sad and it was Jack...I think borderlands 2 was the first game I actually had the urge to kill the main villain, weird
@@danteinpuro319 That is how you know a villain was done well.
if roland survived the gunshot and ACTUALLY went out for milkshakes that'd be cool
rip Roland should've gotten a better recharge rate on his shield
should've gotten a sham
btw in game he has a shield on till you kill angel and then he removes it
@@themininoob so mans basically killed himself.
@@lmunchl4189 yes and failed his one life run
Or he had a gun or perk that ignores shields
"One of them knocked me out while I was takin' a leak" - Roland, leader of the crimson raiders
i think that was a lie, he might have actually fought hard but don;'t want Lilith to worry so he play dumb
With how easy it was for Jack to sneak up behind him. That dialogue in hindsight seems like foreshadowing
@@wilsonweiseng6485 love your reply
Let's have a moment of silence for this soldier.
@Andrew Createz SHHHHH
"You were good son, real good. Maybe even the best"
- The Soilder, TF2
Good quote
RIP Rick may. The character you voiced in TF2 will always remain my favorite.
still don't see how Roland didn't hear Jack decloaking behind him, it was louder than the Dead Ringer from the Spy in TF2
Rip Roland ✊🏿. You were a real one
Most people came to the Borderlands universe in BL2, i was there in the beginning, I grinded BL1 just me & Roland, devastated me when he died
Especially Bloodwings death, because Mordecai was my main in BL1
Yep loved roland I still play black to play as roland
I was introduced to Borderlands when Borderlands 1 first came out. I never owned any of the Borderlands 1 DLCs (Unfortunately), but it's still my favorite Borderlands game to this day. I'm thinking of buying the Borderlands 1 remaster. Is it worth the money?
@@NCRVeteranRanger Yes its worth it
I've been with Borderlands for most of my life. Im 15, but I was playing BL1 when I was 3, I got BL2 on the exact day it released, and I got BL3 a day before it released. I've always been a big fan of the game and play anything of it.
As a Roland Main; that dungeon quest was SUPER depressing
Yeah that was memorable... I was kinda disappointing when he died and Lilith going to be the leader.. aw Mann look what she is done in BL 3 xD
Roland must doing better than ever
I freaking love Roland.
One of the reasons is because he is the first and only black character I’ve seen with my name. Not a very common name sadly.
Rolands one of few black brothers in borderlands
i like how in the first game he sounded like a college student in basketball team, then became matured in the second game
Bro that's actually really cool
Abit late here but he's also the one character in borderlands you could actually call a good guy, not like jack who says he wants to do good things but does it in a horrible method and I wouldn't call lilith, mordecai and brick the most moral people either.
Gay
Tiny Tina hugging Rolands statue made me so sad.
Yes. Me too. For the first time i saw her so serious and sad.
aand thats how rolands no shield one life went. rip in peace
Did good going through almost 3 games tho
I really wish they'd do something more with Axton. Bl2 was my first game of the series and Axton was my first playthrough so his character holds a special place in my heart. And the way they've just forgotten about him really makes me sad. I thought he was a cool character 😢
There is a side mission about him actually. He became some kind of male erotic model. I believe we will see him and Salazar in BL4 though.
He's also in the arms race as a commentator with salvador
but what about Steve?
@@wilsonweiseng6485 HEYOOO
The history of krieg remastered pls
I believe he was going to redo it and Maya when he played the Fuster Cluck DLC.
Noe
@@noreloadrich4850 yeas
he’s too scared to do clap
RIP Roland. Such a great person
In a nutshell : solider from a vault planet goes to another planet and opens another vault
It later bit him in the ass in the form of yellow metal piece controller
Personally I loved how Roland played out in BL1 especially with Ammo Regen and a Max Metal Storm build made all my guns shoot extremely fast and I never ran out of ammo. RIP Roland
Do wish they explored Lilithe’s and Roland’s relationship more. From the Echo recordings, brief conversations, and the one screen you can find in her room, the two might have broke-up but didn't move on.
Roland was such a great character. I was truly shocked by his death when Handsome Jack killed him. 😢😢😢
Could you do a history of Tannis for your next video?
Thanks!
Is it just me or dose jack have the most facial moment
Did he allready do history of the best villian ever
The Death Of Roland had take me in a Way that i had no idea what to do
He was my First VAULT Hunter in The First game, see him get shooted in The back and falling Just... Destroyed me.
That profile in the Firehawks lair is also the only time I've seen Roland smile.
Eruption fang I enjoy your vids you deserve more subs
I wished roland and lilith had a kid before his death.Tina would be an awesome older sis/teacher xD
Not possible all Sirens like Lilith and Maya are sterile.
@@eliascristerna3089 what do you mean by that?
@@DatBoiRatchet In exchange for the power of a Siren they lose the ability to have children
@@eliascristerna3089 I don't know about that... wasn't the Calypso twins born to a Siren mother?
@@ElPayasoMalo she was not, although I do believe that their father's ex before them was a very old siren chick
Rip Roland you will always be my favorite
Thank you for continuing this series
What I really wanna see it Rolands BL3 updated look. Like every character from bl1 and 2 are updated in bl3 because of the many years that passed since games. I know he's dead but I would really love to see what he looked like, I just love the new models for all the characters like Lilith, Moxxi and Tina looks awesome. Does anyone else agrees with me???
Well he's dead. So it really doesn't matter
@@michaelknox3715 right but I don't give a fuck you know. I just wanna see all the Borderlands characters with new models, just for something interesting to look at, for example Bad Maw or Captain Flynt, you know what I mean just something cool and fun to look at or hell even Angel.
Death Wish I’m surprised Roland was not in dlc 4 as evil Roland.
@@dmodk8010 right that is strange seeing that Lil, maya, brick and mord, was in it and Roland had a huge role since he was the leader, I wonder why they didnt put him in there?
or even better, Zed supposedly brought him back like Zombie TK Baha
One thing that's always bugged me, how can you have perma death in the storyline in a world where re spawns are a regular occurrance???
I think this every time I play Borderlands.
the writers already confirmed awhile ago that respawns aren't canon
@@umairashraf5167 i the "New You" stations are not canon respawns then beware of flying elephants
@@weredig0 uh what?
This slab earned his wings!
I still can't believe Kevin Hart is supposed to Be Roland😭
Yeah, they should've had Snoop Dogg playing him
Just pointing it out there, if Roland was wearing a shield he would have survived Handsome Jack's shot that killed him
Shields in Borderlands have to wait a while before recharging. He could have been using one of those high capacity, slow recharging shields or even a roid shield specifically designed to do that. Also, as evidenced by the Trespasser, the technology to go through shields does exist, even if it's very rare.
History of Krieg, now that there is more info on him,
Luke if you after
I just seen the video. Roland was my first character I played on Borderlands and I maxed him out. To see him taken out the way he was, hurt my soul. But what if he was revived but as being part or fully an Eridian as preparation for a great war in BL4?
History of Handsome Jack would be AMAZING!!!
The only time the new-you station doesn’t work is in cutscenes goddammit
love your videos man :)
Man I loved Roland! R.I.P. soldier..... Salute!!
A good man, great leader, and a better friend there may never be.
That was so cheesy when Roland died in BL2, from just one pistol shot. I wish they made it differently. Like: "Finally, we went through all the beurocratic procedures and cut you off from New-U system! Now I can kill you" Bam! Giant shot from Helios. Or an ambush of 10 EXP-loaders.
He never connected to Hyperion's New-U and Jack was likely using a powerful Jakobs gun. It had to be fast to take both Lilith and you with your guard down.
@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 If you shoot an shielded enemy with a gun that does enough damage it still kills them in one shot, so I don’t know how the argument of him having a shield came to fruition
@@somm150 That's why I was talking about Jakobs guns.
@@somm150 "If you dont kill a man in one shot, it aint a Jakobs gun."
New-u isn't canon
Roland with the Ogre was some real shit. RIP King 🤴🏿
I like how Roland who is one of the few black characters who means a lot to the characters
tbh, Roland's death is handled much better than Maya's.
How? Roland's was out of nowhere while with maya they dropped hints of her death.
@@Axel_Kasai Roland's death has a significance in the plot. And it's fit in the story well. However, for Maya, even if hinted, almost nothing's changed for other characters.
Rest in peace Roland glad I main him in bl1
History of axton, since I don't know anything about him
This Video gives me such a peaceful Vibe
I still wonder what happened to earth or if there is an earth in this universe...
The closest thing to earth in borderlands is pandora
@@Axel_Kasai Actually no. Pandora is more like wasteland than anything. Stuff like Prometheus and Eden-6 are more akin to Earth than Pandora will ever be.
@@oneblacksun oh no pandora's fine, it's just a matter of time but we'll get there soon enough lol
@@Dendrocnide Well, there's the problem. In the first game, Pandora is a complete wasteland with little to no green fauna or water to be seen. Scrap buildings and trash everywhere, barely hospitable. Then the other games just decided to abandon that aesthetic and made it more a verdant paradise, giving it much more greenery and exotic life.
maybe earth got out of resources and left alone as a wasteland,maybe even got destroyed by this motive
Roland was that one i never played
I always play him
I can't believe they cast Kevin Hart to play him. Embarrassing.
horrible casting choice
Kevin Hart is the same height as Tiny Tina
Keep it up man
Rip roland... A moment of silence please (Sad music)...
great video as always^^
I'm surprised there's no History of Claptrap yet.
Roland's comic was released on my bday
It wouldn't have been as impactful if Mordecai or Brick had died, they're just fodder to Lilith- no it HAD to be Roland. It may be sad, but it served to push her to [SACRIFICE] herself to save Pandora again.
Nice vid man liked and subbed
Funny how the resistance poster has Roland holding a vladof gun.
6:15 the only time the mentioned food in borderlands history (well all of I know)
R.I.P Roland, aka, MY CHOCOLATE THUNDER 😭
Lmao
Black brother
His death still hurts I’m a grown ass man now 😂😂😂
For all the good he did in life - he did not deserve to be portrait by Kevin Hart :D
Mr. torque do him the most bad ass man in the six galaxies
He and I share a first name and every time he says it I got excited
The movie is already ruining his character
we had a Borderlands movie? holy skag
Something I find interesting was that in BL1, Athena and her crew try to kill you and then Athena decides to just help the VH’s anyway. In TPS, two of said VH’s are now trying to help her…only for Lilith to order Brick and Mordecai to capture and *kill* Athena. It’s really full-circle and idk why but I never noticed that until watching this video.
No, Athena was always an ally to them in the Borderlands 1 era and at no point is Athena ever against them in any way at that time. When the Atlas assassins are dispatched to take out Roland and his crew, Athena had already deserted Atlas and specifically teamed up with Roland and his team of fellow vault hunters to take down Atlas. In fact, the assassins are sent after the vault hunters specifically because they were helping Athena, the deserter. Athena was always an ally to Roland and Lilith, and when they betray Jack because they don't like how he operates, they neglect to clue in Athena or warn her in any way. They presumably have a rational reason for this, likely not trusting her to help them sabotage Jack for some reason. But of Jack's vault hunters, she would have been the most likely to help them simply because they were actually allies against a corrupt corporation in the past and Athena and Roland even being "siblings-in-arms" or whatever in the same service.
@@ElPayasoMaloIn the Pre-Sequel, there's an ECHO recording that tells how Atlas ordered Athena to take out someone, but after killing her target she realizes it's her own sister
@@tommybrad6393 What does that have to do with what I'm talking about?
I’d be really interested in a video on Timothy aka Jacks Body Double, but I’m not sure how much info there is on him.
Now played by Kevin Hart
Isn't he also in Wonderlands?
Best thing i could ever done For Roland is by using Scorpion and killing jack and the warrior with it
when they killed my boi Roland , i was so devastated
Please do fo all the. sirens
Rip king
Roland should have appeared in DLC4 of Borderlands 3.
Really miss playing Roland in borderlands game really sad 😞 he dead by crazy 😝 jack Rest In Peace ✌️
OK I have a question. How are the og characters from bl2 still alive in bl3 when they technically all die in the beginning with the train being exploded. For example you pick maya wouldnt the rest still be dead in theory in bl3
I think it's all 6 are progressing through the game in theory and in story telling but since they keep the conversations vague so it will always fit in from a solo or Co-OP playthrough.
No its cannon they all survived the bomb obviously
@@tristanbohemian4648 how you clearly see them the rest if them dead when you pick who survived. Like what if every single player all pick the same character and never chose a different character at all. Then technically the ones who aren't picked dont get to be in borderlands 3
@@rossstreetly3950 uh,i don't recall seeing any bodies with you in the beginning,might wanna replay the game
Looks like rolands shield malfunctioned
10:40, that's Not Necessarily True, if You Look at the Number Plate on the Back of the Bandit Technical with the Effervescent Skin, it Actuallt Gives You a Date, 2999 or Something Like that
History of Marcus or Ned/Zed or Nurse Nina
The history of Cl4ptrap
Now that we know the past of Krieg the psycho.
I wonder how krieg sees roland
Imagine killing Moe and Marley without cheese
Kevin hart to play Roland in future borderlands film
Yo in the room right before the dr benedict boss fight theres a button and the rainbow room do you know how to activate it and what it does?
😭😭😭😭 Roland : (
I tested up when he dyed
Did they really just cast Kevin Hart as Roland?
As much as I liked Roland, I still can’t get this hate over why the hell would he want to protect Pandora, just take the sane residents and move them out of the planet. Then again, countering myself, Jack would have shot them down after the whole Elpis stuff so there was no choice but to fight back if Jack doesn’t stop hunting them all. At least he said sorry to Jack unlike biatch Lilith. God I hate her.
Can you do the history of Lourilli
Whats with the Storys Form the books where he appears?
I hate when stuff that takes place in space gives dates... the year 2850? What planet? Where? How long are their years! I need reference points damnit! Lol
"Hey, I love you. Call me." Did he call her?
And now he’s Kevin hart
Is it inappropriate?
For me to laugh 😂
I played as Roland in #1 and such a cool character. Now I found out that a live action movie will be made and he'll be played by Kevin Hart. Why? What an insult.
Should've went to Snoop Dogg
Athena.
history of gaige
The fact you didn't mention Tk Baha as an important and memorable character angers me
History of face mcshooty 😔
History of brick
So basically Roland died because Lilith didn't follow orders and cheated him out of heroic death.
The only thing Lilith did was get caught. Jack would've shot him regardless of whether or not she was there.
Can you cover claptrap
