I have only played the original trilogy and read canon novels of that period, Gears of War has such a good story and lore. I liked the fact that the Locust were not simply generic genocidal monsters slaughtering without reason but instead were in a desperate death struggle of their own, with the Lambent, for years before E-Day and were essentially forced to the surface of Serra. The Locust had been aware of humanity for a long time observing the very real destructive and untrustworthy nature of humans, especially during the 79-year Pendulum Wars. The Locust studied humanity to the point that they deemed that Humans would never accept the Locust co-inhabiting the surface and would inevitably make war with the very real threat of Genocide upon them. With this in mind, the Locust thought that their only chance of survival would be to launch a preemptive strike against the Humans, wiping as many out as possible before then proceeding to colonise the surface. Gears is great because it is not a simple black and white good vs evil story it is about two species fighting for survival any way that they can, and have been pushed against each other by distrust of human nature, and a more deadly and persistently aggressive outside force.
"The humans of Sera built a glorious civilization. But humans were not destined to create. They inevitably did what they do best: destroy" - Myrrah , Locust Queen.
HellScream She says this while actively destroying anything and everything she can get her hands on just because humans made it, a race she is _A MEMBER OF_ Can you say Hypocrisy?
The locust hord isnt a human race that mutated. It´s a own kind of creatures they just look in some ways like human.And the other creatures like Brumaks r in the locust world like cows for humans.The illusion just mutated the locust.Not the humans mutated in to locust .Hope I could help. Sry for bad english
This sheds a new light on them and filled in any gaps I had regarding them after playing through games 1-3. Would like to see more on the enemies of this series if you can
One of the most mysterious races regarding their origins . It ever leaves us with more questions than answers Love the series, hope we get more insight into the new game and the Pendulum Wars
I honestly kinda feel bad for the locusts in the way, they were basically pushed out of their home, their girlfriends are psychotic brutes and then they all got wiped out. I mean they came back as the swarm so they got the last laugh but still
I have played all Gears of War games and read all the books but it honestly went over my head that the Locust were descendants of human. Thanks for the great vid!
Reptilians!!! And yes, I’d definitely like to see more on GoW. Can’t remember which one it was since iv played them all and it was quite a while ago, but me and my Dad player through the entire game as soon as I got my first Xbox.
I remember when I first met the berserker in gears 1 I was absolutely terrified of them but as time passed and I played the rest of the games while also reading the book and figured out truely how much grief and suffering they cause I grew nothing but contempt and hatred for them I gave no pity to what was happening to them in the hollows I want nothing else than to have every single last one of them to die and if they had a game set in a alternate reality where cog knew of them and made their own holes to launch a counter offensive and bring the fight straight to them I would gladly pay cash so I can go with them to storm the hollows
Great video as always FCE, I was wondering something, have you ever considered doing a video on something from a book? Odd question but I’ve always wondered 😂😂😂
please do more gears of war vids. I enjoyed the series when I got to play but I wasn't able to really look into a lot of stuff about it. if I have questions about some creatures I usually go to your vids.
Although I know a lot of Gears lore, I’ll watch other people videos on it like acid glow and now FCE. I’ve been here for awhile but glad you finally made it to Gears interesting story and lore
I always loved that little moment when you’re either tracking down one of the last few locust in a fight or you think it’s over and then you automatically know who’s still alive based off their little “snarl” 😂
Knowing this I think it will be really cool to play as a locust in the campaign as the main character and it is more in depth with the locust side of the battles and their views a lot better than in the other gears games

That is the single best explanation of why Gears has such a great story and lore that I've heard in such a concise mannner.
Great explaination
Seems pretty black and white to me. You don't get to butcher and slaughter my people because you're under threat.

Can you say Hypocrisy?
@@TheCorrodedMan Well, she was Human, so...
@@TheCorrodedMan Queen Myrrah doesn't identify with humans and sees herself as a Locust.
xX Valtiel Xx it’s a very confusing topic
wιѕegυy That doesn’t change the fact that she was a human killing humans for being human.
Nice video, I still remember Dom "hey did you hear that" Fenix "it was just the wind" Dom "since when did you hear the wind say HOSTILE'S to you?"
that was Baird, not Dom.
@@antx1026 it was dom...
They're called Theron Guards
It was dom in the mission where you split off in doubles. Marcus was with Dom and Cole was with Baird.
Literally just did this mission it was dom
Glad you're doing Gears, big gear head here.
Fun fact... Gear head means you're a junkie in Ireland
Just Some Guy without a Mustache i can agree 100%
Fuck yeah
The locust hord isnt a human race that mutated. It´s a own kind of creatures they just look in some ways like human.And the other creatures like Brumaks r in the locust world like cows for humans.The illusion just mutated the locust.Not the humans mutated in to locust .Hope I could help.

Just Some Guy without a Mustache
Hey I found you
This sheds a new light on them and filled in any gaps I had regarding them after playing through games 1-3. Would like to see more on the enemies of this series if you can
One of the most mysterious races regarding their origins . It ever leaves us with more questions than answers
Love the series, hope we get more insight into the new game and the Pendulum Wars
I'd be down for more locust info
"Anya, it's a Giant Worm! They're sinking cities with a GIANT WORM!!"
Since you did the locust horde maybe you can explain the COG
Sounds good Darth! adding that to the list now also :)
@@filmcomicsexplained you could also do one on the UIR
GEARs too.⚙️
Or the planet sera and the extreme body masses of the humans on that planet
I agree that you should cover the other factions in gears of war
Swarm?
too short man, locust such an interesting and epic species
My thirst has been rejuvenated...thank you man you finally did it...
I honestly kinda feel bad for the locusts in the way, they were basically pushed out of their home, their girlfriends are psychotic brutes and then they all got wiped out.
I mean they came back as the swarm so they got the last laugh but still
Yes please do more gears
Gears is one of my favorite series, glad to see ya doing an analysis on the horde. Would love to see the Lambent, The Swarm, The COG and the UIR
Thank you so much for doing Gears and please do more on Sera's history and the origin of the Lambent parasite
Wow, I've played these games but never looked that deep into the story behind it all. Thanks for this and look forward to more diving into the story.
I have played all Gears of War games and read all the books but it honestly went over my head that the Locust were descendants of human. Thanks for the great vid!
I still have the GoW 3 limited edition box since it came out. One of the best games i have ever played. Thanks for this video.
AWESOME!! Glad to hear you doing this!
Never knew they were sensitive to light and I’m a HUGE gears fan. Fun video as always man.
This Channel has the Best Content !
Absolutely love Gears, you should definitely do more
Reptilians!!!
And yes, I’d definitely like to see more on GoW. Can’t remember which one it was since iv played them all and it was quite a while ago, but me and my Dad player through the entire game as soon as I got my first Xbox.
YES PLEASE DO MORE OF THE GEARS OF WAR VIDS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE GAME AS A KID
I like this guys videos before I even watch them, sometimes I don’t even watch them but I like them because I know their good.
Love the Gears franchise and will watch every video you put out on it. You explain things perfectly and if love to understand the Gears world more.
This video brought back so many of my childhood memories
Another awesome analysis from this channel.
Cheers Damian!
FilmComicsExplained cheers to you too keep up the great work !
YESSSSSS!!!! So excited that you're explaining my fav video game series
I remember when I first met the berserker in gears 1 I was absolutely terrified of them but as time passed and I played the rest of the games while also reading the book and figured out truely how much grief and suffering they cause I grew nothing but contempt and hatred for them I gave no pity to what was happening to them in the hollows I want nothing else than to have every single last one of them to die and if they had a game set in a alternate reality where cog knew of them and made their own holes to launch a counter offensive and bring the fight straight to them I would gladly pay cash so I can go with them to storm the hollows
Yes please do more video's on gears of war. Especially on the hammer of dawn.
Dude your video game explanation series is amazing.
Yes, please break down the types of locusts. Thanks!
Nice video as always, would you mind doing a vid on I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?
I second this.
Third!
Well really 31st but
Oh that story is full on. . . But yeh, i agree, would love to hear his interpretation
agreed
Great video as always FCE, I was wondering something, have you ever considered doing a video on something from a book? Odd question but I’ve always wondered 😂😂😂
Yeh I tend to do that whenever they've been adapted to film or tv, otherwise its hard to find visual material to keep the video entertaining :)
Awesome! I requested Gears of War a while ago. Glad to see you doing an episode on this.
Nice video my dude can't wait for more this
A video on each of the individual locust types, YES PLEASE!!
Yes please do the individual locust types bro. I absolutely love your content!!
As a gears of war fanatic im do glad you’re doing this. Im pretty sure this goes for all gear heads out there.
YESH!! Please do everything on the Lore of Gears of War!!
I've waited a long, long time for this... thank you so much. GOW is so underrated
FINALLY, YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!
You're actually spot on with your info. One tidbit you forgot, Queen Myrra is human. A descendant of the Scientist's of New Hope.
Best game trailers this series gave us, great games.
Thanks for your work
I played the first 3 games and still had no idea wtf was going on until now, thanks! 💖💖💖
please do more gears of war vids. I enjoyed the series when I got to play but I wasn't able to really look into a lot of stuff about it. if I have questions about some creatures I usually go to your vids.
Thanks for the Gears content. Please do more with the Lambert and even the Swarm
i'd love more about the Locust :D great vid man
Dude I can’t believe your making this video ❤️, Been playing gears since I was three 😂
Would you do a video on the swarm a different version of them.
Probably my favourite universe and one of my favourite game series.
Thanks for the video, from a gears fan
Back at it again with another banger
Although I know a lot of Gears lore, I’ll watch other people videos on it like acid glow and now FCE. I’ve been here for awhile but glad you finally made it to Gears interesting story and lore
Defiantly keen for more gears vids
This one was informative 👌🏼🙌🏼
Great vid bud 👍 Totally down for more Gears lore!
I always loved that little moment when you’re either tracking down one of the last few locust in a fight or you think it’s over and then you automatically know who’s still alive based off their little “snarl” 😂
That scene from gears 1 where a Carmine ran into that berserker scarred me when I was young.
Just stumbled upon your channel today already have watched like 10 of your videos great content thank you
Love your videos man ! You are the only person on UA-cam who makes lore videos perfectly without running around like a horse 😬
One of my favourite gaming franchises. Fantastic story.
You have to do more videos!!!! Your awesome n me n my kids love watching your videos!!! Keep them coming!!!😁
Man I remember playing this game when I was 10 , 1to3 , RIP DOM ,FROM GEAR OF WAR, and RIP FRIST BOSS
I restarted the entire series again. Love this series
Niyant you should do Queen Myrah I think it could make for a decent length video it could also be interesting.
Yess more locust type please and great video always been a big fan of gears
Oh wow, I never knew any of this. I really hope they explore the lore more in Gears 5
Knowing this I think it will be really cool to play as a locust in the campaign as the main character and it is more in depth with the locust side of the battles and their views a lot better than in the other gears games
Awesome video as always bro keep em coming and thank you for covering my favorite game series can’t wait to see the other videos on gears 🤟
You should list all of the different varieties of locusts
You should definitely cover Queen Myrrah and her origins. Something we never got a definite answer on and only clues.
A video on the Queen would be interesting as well
I never even realized that we weren’t even on earth, but still it sucks to lose so much people to these guys
I like to see do you talk more about Gears of War lore
Gears of war videos? Yes please
Please more of the Locust! They are a really interesting faction!
