    29:00 I said that it would make sense that Trevor thought Brad was in the prison, but he never said it explicitly. Trevorcampbell9294 pointed out that on Surveying The Score when Trevor is warned by Lester to not fly low over the prison as it would trigger an alarm, Trevor says 'Yeah, wouldn't want to get them jto get umpy before the break out". He prior to that discusses breaking out Brad. So he doesn't explicitly say Brad is in that prison, but it is implied by the combination of both parts. Surprised I forgot that as I have heard it 100s of times.
    1:15 Someone pointed out that Johnny at the beginning of the game called Trevor a motherfucker, which may have contributed to Trevor's response.

    The prison always felt like a missed opportunity for a mission where Trevor puts together a heist to bust "Brad" out of prison only to find out that there's never been any Brad in there, and that's what makes him confront Michael in Bury the Hatchet - not just everything suddenly clicking and him going to dig up Michael's grave
    Like I could see it being like a weird twist on a normal heist where instead of Michael/Franklin/Lester it's Ron/Wade/Chef with Michael insisting that it's too risky, but then letting him go through with it and mayyybe letting Dave know in advance, lowkey hoping he sets up a trap for Trevor to finally take him out
    Then Trevor ends up making out of the failed breakout alive (and maybe someone in his crew ends up dead, like Wade or someone else), and that's what forces him to put the pieces together and realize Michael betrayed him

    I see it as Trevor feeling so tortured and betrayed by this point but still loyal enough as to where he didn't want to kill Michael, so he himself wanted to die. Is there any other point in the game were it may allude to Trevor wanting to die?

Michael is the one with the true complexity, full of contradictions, hobbies, inherent problems and he's the one that moves the plot forward; he's pretty much the protagonist.

  • @trevorcampbell9294
    @trevorcampbell9294 11 місяців тому +184

    Great video as always. A couple of things though...
    In "Why did Trevor head to Sandy Shores turn insane and start making drugs?" You say that Trevor never explicitly says he thinks Brad is in THAT prison. I think he actually does. On Surveying the Score, if you fly over the prison in the Helicopter with Trevor and Lester, you get a line of dialogue where Lester warns Trevor about flying over the prison, a.k.a. restricted air space. Trevor retorts with "you're right, don't want to make them jumpy for the break out." Meaning he probably does think Brad is in there.
    In "How would Trevor know that Michael was still alive because of a quote that he got from a movie?" I think you missed a very important point. That quote he got from some movie, was the same quote he used on the North Yankton Cash Depot job, which as we all know was their final heist. Trevor knows someone talked to the authorities, and that someone got his best friend killed, and another of his close friends a stint in Federal Prison. Trevor fled and eventually landed in Sandy Shores. I guarantee in the nine years between Michael's "death" and his "resurrection," Trevor would have gone over that heist thousands of times in his head. You can see his entire demeanour change the moment he hears that line on the TV. He goes from having a good time with Ashley to looking like he'd seen a ghost. THAT is how Trevor knew.
    In "Did Trevor cut Martin's ear off, considering his band aid?" I think it's probably more likely that Trevor tried to bite it off. Would make a lot of sense given his character.

      @Lucas61616 8 місяців тому +13

      ​@@DarkViperAURespectfully, I don't think you're right about the specific line not mattering much. In at least one of Trevor's dialogues (probably several I can't remember though) he refers to Michael's love of old movie quotes, I think it may be when he's talking to Wade when they're first driving to Los Santos?
      One of the last quotes Trevor hears from his friend before said friend "dies" and he's probably left thinking about that job for years. Going over every little detail, getting mad, thinking about the whole thing for years and years.
      And then the TV broadcast, and he hears that quote again. (Technically not the quote but the witness butchering it instead)
      Keep in mind, that quote is what gets him to pay attention to the screen. He hears that paraphrased sentence and immediately he thinks about their last job.
      And from there, he almost certainly starts thinking again, looking for details on how this robbery was executed.
      We know he has this information by the time he reunites with Michael because he refers to the way the job was carried out all sarcastic like when Michael tries to claim he didn’t do it.
      That one quote is almost certainly the reason he even made the connection. He brings his attention to the report because of it, and from there he can make the connections between the similarities of this heist and their old jobs.
      He'd have probably still put it all together sooner or later without the quote or even the Vangelico heist, but it definitely would've taken long.

      It shows that he does have a good heart and a moral code that he follows. But I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s a better parental figure. Yeah he does bestow good wisdom to the kids and treats them well, but that’s easy to do if you only see them extremely rarely. Examine every other part of Trevor’s life and decision making and apply that to being a parent, combined with extreme untreated trauma from his own upbringing, he’d probably be a horrible parent. But it does show that he has feelings other than anger.

      He is absolutely a psychopath -- i.e. Anti-Social Personality Disorder -- but while evidence suggests some people are born or become that way without any significant trauma, there's a lot more evidence supporting that others become that way via childhood trauma. And in Trevor's case, there's a strong argument for the latter.

    What pisses me off about people simplifying Trevor as a crazy psychopath is that he clearly isn't a psychopath, he's a sociopath. He has some very explosive emotional outbursts, which sometimes cause him to do unreasonable things, including self harm when he smashes his head against the wall after that Merryweather heist. Meanwhile psychopaths don't really experience emotions, they just learn to act like they do. So them being overtaken by anger isn't very likely

    • @AndreAugust-ei5ir
      @AndreAugust-ei5ir Місяць тому

      "Sociopath" is a media buzzword. There really is no distinction. Trevor is a psychopath that leans heavily to "factor 2 psychopathy" (reactive / irritable, impulsive, exhibiting antisocial behaviors, lacking in conscientiousness, etc), scoring lower in the first factor (shallow affect, interpersonal manipulativeness, superficial charm, lack of empathy, callousness, absence of any conscience, compassion, remorse, etc).
      Trevor is very much capable of love, compassion, loyalty, kinship and is honest - even to a fault, but nonetheless is extremely antisocial (criminal lifestyle), impulsive and explosive.
      Still a psychopath, just a certain kind seldom depicted in the media. Psychopaths aren't Hannibal lecter.
      The nomenclature is a little muddy.

    I think one thing you’re not quite getting right is that Michael and Amanda don’t ‘love each other’ at any point of the game. They don’t cheat on eachother out of revenge, but because they just don’t simply care for one another. They only tolerate each other because neither of them can leave the relationship
    Even Michael admits to it. Their whole relationship is rockstars dig at don’t get married young. Michael literally says ‘he regrets getting married at such a young age and wishes he waited for the right person to come around’ talking to Franklin.

    Im surprised they didn't go after Davey, even thoe he helped Michael, in the end he was the one who messed up their lifes big time

      Michael grew fond of him, and protected Davey/rationalized keeping him in the picture. Otherwise, yeah, I think Trevor especially would have taken Davey out

      like Michael said keeping Davey actually is for the better so no one can ratting them out after everything is over cause remember Davey didn't really have remarkable career until Michael make a deal with him that make him got promoted

    24:18 I also took Lester saying “oh yeah sure, Brad was there, too…” as him trying to de-emphasise Brad because Lester knew he was dead, not in prison.

    What I Find really interesting, is if I'm not wrong, Matt has a Psyche degree. So this means, he is the DOUBLE authority on Trevor's case. Since he's played this game for 10000 hours, AND knows about Psychology. Amazing Video
