    Confession time! I only had one day this week to work on youtube videos, and at that time the Felwinter quest was still bugged. So, I read the leaks about Felwinter to make this video and hoped that when the bug was fixed the video was still accurate! Turns out the leaks were exact. HOWEVER, there is one thing that I did not cover because it was not released until people actually had Felwinter’s Lie. Please go and read the lore tab for Felwinter’s Lie! It is really good.

      There's soo many holes in the lore and actions that's solved with common sense to take, like: why not put siva in warsats to deconstruct the almighty to a macular level.
      Soo many actions could of been taken that possesses high yield of resolution to the issue, we always take the smallest route, why? Is it because he have immense tunnel vision? I don't know in the end... but it dose make me feel, small and inrelavent to my presennce.
      And why aren't actively trying to improve the last city? It's still in shambles, and yet we just defend. Like having no medic for the VIP.

      Hey Gamma! Some advice for the future, in the book of Sorrow, they briefly talk about a collective of species known as the Ecumene, which were extriminated by the Hive after Oryx took their best warriors. I know it is your art and your choices, but if you read the verses of the Book of Sorrow that come from the perspective of the Ecumene, they come off very...cold and disturbing, so, if you ever want to depict them, why not draw them as creepy space-cyborgs? Just an idea from what I picked up on from the Book of Sorrow.

    After this quest line, I'm getting the feeling that Osiris's accusations at Rasputin's treachery at the end of last season weren't about the possibility of Rasputin having attacked the Traveler during the Collapse like many thought. Likely, it was in response to learning that the Iron Lords didn't die from their own mistake and or hubris in the pursuit of SIVA. That Rasputin deliberately led the Iron Lords into a trap with the intent of murdering them with the technology they sought to claim and that he alone controlled.

      SIVA was never some corrupted nanotechnology. Rasputin was the instigator of it being dangerous. But I understand the warmind to a certain degree. The collapse was traumatizing. Than suddenly, a sacred protocol from your mainframe becomes supernaturally active. And rogue. Rasputin probably viewed Felwinter like a virus.

    I disagree on one point. I don’t think Rasputin had the emotion until after absorbing felwinter. Until that point he was acting on protocol and efficiency. Hence why afterwards he saw how evil he was and didn’t know before

      @smoothbrother2002 4 роки тому +13

      I sort of agree with you. Each seraph exo shared the knowledge of Rasputen. I think Felwinter was a breech of security. He had to get rid of Felwinter. If Felwinter ever recovered his memory, he would eventually possibly match Rasputen.

    • @freakctc
      @freakctc 4 роки тому +4

      I'm thinking maybe before being raised as a guardian, Felwinter was destroyed by the Fallen. Since he was offline, he was of no concern to Rasputin. Then, the collapse happened, the Traveler created the ghosts, Felwinter was raised as a guardian, and showed up on Rasputin's network. When he tried to investigate and reconnect, he failed, and deemed Felwinter as Rouge, with all his knowledge of humanity, and decided to eliminate it.
      Then, in his grief over his actions, put himself offline, to 'survive the collapse' and left a submind active, which is what we encounter in D1.
      The only fact I need to find before thinking this is 100%, is when the Fallen showed up in the system looking for the Traveler. I thought it was right before the Collapse, or the initial theory as to why the collapse happened.

    • @QziQza
      @QziQza 4 роки тому +4

      That's kind of the point though isn't it? The actual mechanics of the transfer of state, in that moment of learning, are actually irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, what is important, is that it happened, and the consequence.
      In the entry, Rasputin is using a piece of human literature, to explain to us, what change has occured, in a way that we can not only understand, but can relate to. That he uses Ivan the Terrible, to explain his change of state, isn't just proof the change of state has occured, but also that he fully appreciates what he was before, and what he has become.
      Probably worth noting, rasputin remember every little detail, of every action. Its 1 thing to realise you have been a bad person, and feel remorseful, but to be able to recall it all as if its just happened, and in an instance? I imagine the weight of that burden alone, is very much the driving force of his conviction, and need, to not fail humanity.

  • @meandmyinsanity
    @meandmyinsanity 4 роки тому +49

    It's funny really, because when you think about it Rasputin's jealousy and killing of Felwinter is like a toddler having a tantrum. Humans are able to develop their emotions and are able to learn to keep them in check over years of interacting with other people, and being taught what's right and wrong.
    Rasputin however didn't have that - the collapse happened and there was nobody to keep him in check, and so when he had these newfound emotions and saw Felwinter had gone AWOL he acted as any toddler would - he had a tantrum.
    Only there was nobody to control his tantrum, no way to tell him that he could've handled it differently. Imaging putting a toddler in a room with button for a nuclear missile. Now imagine someone steals their favourite toy and the toddler is told that the button will stop the person so they can get their toy back, of course they're gonna press it - that's essentially Rasputin.
    Only now has he developed his mind enough to realise that he was wrong, and I believe he's telling us because he truly wants to atone for his mistakes and protect humanity together with the Guardians! Honestly I can't wait to really see what he brings to the table against the Darkness - from some of the weapons he's described we're in for a hell of a war.

    The Story of an A.I. In most cases thought of as a simple machine. Originally built as a overseer and a organizer, changed to a soldier and commander through Clovis Bray, and developed a relationship with one specific exo to help him both of them develop. As a threat came he became a Tyrant, and through his loss, and failure he became cold and closed off. Then the exo returned but changed and had no care for the father only for the people. Anger grew and he betrayed the son promising him and his new order hope and greatness, and in an instant of rage he unleashed a plague and killed the order and the son, only to regret his choice. Years go by and he begins opening up as one of his family returns. As he learns and grows around these new beings who return to help him despite his hatred, he opens himself more, seeing his mistake he made against his son. As the new beings being to grow he sees the species he was designed to protect, and as the great machine awakens, he feels what took everything from him, awaken as well. The Fear returns, but now instead of a Tyrant, he has remembered what he was. A helper turned protector, and as his enemy comes back old rivalries with the new beings die, as only together they stand a chance. Now he prepares with the new beings and his returned family member, for the war to come. Now in his Fear, instead of a tyrant, he remembers what he was meant to be, a protector. A Guardian. And he will do anything he has to, in order to protect humanity.

Rasputin's network is everything to him, it's his life's blood. What if this rogue asset can produce intelligence harmful to Rasputin and deliver it to enemies, old or new? This is an existential threat.
    It becomes illogical after CENTURIES of observation. Felwinter does not have access, intrinsically, to those bits of intel. He must win them back a scrap at a time. Rasputin clearly learns or deduces this, leading him to plant the SIVA info. *That* was the illogical step. Why not initiate conversation, even if through a third party?

      The alternative story would/could be RAS (Rasputin) creating a -second- SIDDHATHRA with a more direct imprint of his mind - a compacted version of his entire conscious with an underlying directive to reconnect to RAS which would compel him - even if rezz'd - to return to Rasputin and reconnect, allowing RAS to effectively become a Guardian.
      This story element could be widened to Rasputin studying the destroyed Ghosts and - after contacting Asher about artificial Light - he manages to 'resurrect' the Iron Lords he killed using a refined SIVA method that employs the artificial Light.
      But at a cost; they're all stuck as Exos, and all have missing memories - and their powers are synthesized by artificial Light and SIVA, their new SIVA-based Ghosts being improvised entities built by Rasputin.
      Rasputin would follow up on the success of this experiment by resurrecting Aksis in much the same way, distorting Aksis into the first Eliksni-Exo to ever exist, and rewriting his mind with new orders, which inadvertently lead Aksis-2 to Mithrax and end up pledging himself to House Light with the promise of inventing a way to create synthetic, Light-infused Ether which could give Bungie the creative opening to allow a 4th character slot for Eliksni Guardians.

    Great pickup on the AMPHION LYRE portion! The writers are so deliberate with what they choose to say and how when it comes to the lore and I thought that was super interesting! There's also the connection that instead of Humanity being the ones that charmed it, it was Rasputin himself as he likes to leave messages coded for us in music a la the "Arecibo" adventure on Io!

    Let’s not forget that Felwinter had a direct connection to Rasputin, hence his easy access to Warmind tech.
    Felwinter was also a MASSIVE security risk to Rasputin, and he was revived as a puppet of the Traveler, the entity Rasputin had an intense paranoia of. Is it any surprise Rasputin was willing to slaughter an army of Iron Lords?

    So cool! Crazy how some of the emotions that Rasputin learns about from Felwinter/SIDDHARTHA GOLEM'S excursion are the same ones that he would ultimately use to pull this off. And honestly Rasputin's programming to be a savior for humanity has to be what caused Felwinter to search so hard for SIVA after his meetings with the lady on the mountain.
    Perfectly Balanced..... as all things should be😁. Great Job!!

  • @Kermie_Frogman
    @Kermie_Frogman 4 роки тому +1

    I imagine that the feelings the golem collected weren't transferred to Rasputin in real-time or anything. It's likely that it was supposed to return to transplant the knowledge and feelings it had gained but it never could because of the collapse, then when it died and was resurrected all those feelings were locked away and its built-in protocols were erased. Felwinter kept gaining feeling, emotion, duty, but Rasputin's protocol told him to gain the knowledge of the golem by any means necessary. So when he finally killed him and the knowledge transferred over, he wept at his mistake.
    Rasputin has hated guardians and the traveler for a long time since. The light stole his son from him and he was petty about it. When Ana returned to him in Warmind and guardians were the ones to protect him then he loosened up a bit, and it's taken until now with Ana and Big Red working behind the scenes for Rasputin to allow himself to be vulnerable and try to make a friend in us.
    It's too hard for us to imagine the responsibility on Rasputin's shoulders or to understand what he is and is not capable of. He's not perfect. He can't just give us everything we need to fight against the darkness on his own. We need each other if we're going to survive.
    Destiny 2 post Forsaken has been about gaining allies and rebuilding lost relationships. The Awoken, The House of Light, Ada, Drifter, Calus, Eris, Osiris, Saint-14, and now Rasputin. We've never been stronger. The Red Legion is finally gone for good with absolutely no resources left at their disposal. The Hive have gotten beaten at every opportunity. The Fallen houses are in disarray and many are being brought into our fold in secret. We're building an orbital defense network. I trust our friends. I can't wait to meet our enemies....
    ...But man have I been bored this season, lol!

  • @stlplaya78
    @stlplaya78 4 роки тому +1

    I kind of look at it like Terminator 2 at the end, “I now know why you cry”. Sure Ras could define emotion but couldn’t show it or understand it. I think it knowing now, it integrates with its programming of protecting humanity at any cost. We aren’t necessarily humanity to Ras, we have risen above that being paracausal. Ras is using guardians as an extension. It is figuring us guardians into its protocol.

    I wonder perhaps if some of Rasputin's 'jealousy' relates to what he claimed that he learned from the Darkness and the events of the Collapse. The need to martial ones strength, perhaps? The need to be independent of [0]? The latter would explain why SIDDHARTHA GOLEM becoming a Guardian prompts such an extreme reaction from Big Red.

    Myelin, I don't know if it's emotional like that purely, but I think it WAS logical. The Golem was linked to Rasputin and had intimate knowledge of the Warmind. If that knowledge fell into the wrong hands, it could be a weakness for Rasputin, they could Trojan horse their way into him.
    I think Rasputin killed Felwinter more to eradicate the possibility of the Golem's link with Rasputin from becoming a weakness and a weapon. That's why I think he told the Siva to " IMMUNIZE". He was immunizing a weakness.
    I think in the decades or centuries since, he has seen that having a guardian so close to him /COULD/ have been a good thing, as both are wanting to protect humanity, and is remorseful over loosing perhaps the greatest chance he ever had of actually understanding guardians, and paracausallity is not something he can perfectly replicate.

    This is no answer... Every emotions has a reason behind it!
    Why he thought that he lost his son? Is it because he had lost control over it when it awoke as a guardian? He didn't lost it, he only lost control over it and immediately switched to murder mode... Why didn't he tried to contact or get it back in control first?
    9:02 recover and destruction are not the same thing... As soon as Felwinter was awake by his ghost for the first time Rasputin was already throwing warsats at his head...
    And why was it dead to begin with?
    And how a ghost can revive a machine that never had a "living mind"? Rasputin putted himself/a program he made into that Exo body and Rasputin is a AI not a living mind. Has it ever happened before? Because if not this is a good new info about the Traveler/Ghost powers.
