Can i just say, Bungie actually delivered on making the Witness unsettling and threatening. It was going to be a coin toss how it ended up, but I'm totally satisfied with it.
Man we heard him talk for this campaign and yet for once this death didn’t feel unnecessary nothing else could snap Zavala back into focus where cayde and Ikora failed targe succeeded I was actually really sad when I saw him go I was excited to hear more of him but rest in piece buddy
It looked like Targe self destructed, like Sagira likely did trying to save Osiris. Targe started yelling to power himself up and it appears The Witness just closed his hand to try to suppress the explosion.
notice how everyones upset and sad about targe. meanwhile we couldnt be bothered with nimbus and rohan when i think targe has way less screen time and he had no introduction other than his is zavalas ghost
Well we're upset because he's uniquely tied to Zavala, who we know and care about. Plus what his death means for Zavala, who has always followed the traveler in its light
Because his death had relevance and his character was actually likable, to say nothing of the fact that his dialogue wasn’t just dropping bad jokes every other line.
I think so, but I believe any ghost that dies inside the traveler might be possible to bring back. Or they are setting up a way in which our guardians will be infused with the light directly, without the need for ghosts. The travelers gift to humanity for stopping the witness and saving the universe perhaps? Humanity itself becomes immortal beings wielding both light and dark? Sounds juicy. Humanity becomes Guardians of the universe or some shit.
My power went out as soon as zavala got grabbed but luckily it looks like ky power was holding out for the cutscene to end lol Also what an idiot zavala like bro
I really thought Zavala would somehow lose his voice and Targe would translate through sign language and Tage was voiced by Keith David who after being murdered by the witness would pass on his voice to Zavala. Zavala might learn sign language from Targe when the traveler gave the ghosts knowledge and taught Zavala and Safiah because Hakim could have been deaf.
Targe was dumb for that, zavala already got the answers for how to unmake the witness and for some reason bungie decided to give targe a hero moment but absolutely zero plot armor. Zavala without light is like a computer without programs.
Zavala was silent, focused on the witness, its like he was in a trance. The dude was still statue. If Targe didnt interfere Zavala might have joined the collective conscience of the witness unwillingly
@@mrxerxes7947agreed, one of the dissenting voices said that without the help of the little light, the commander would join their ranks (perhaps unwillingly)
Even as the witness held him, Targe stood on business. R.I.P little buddy
This confirms my suspicions that Bungie let the interns write lightfall
RIP Targe. You were perfect while we knew you
A bit of an unnecessary death but important enough to snap Zavala back to reality.
@@TempestGhostit felt better than Amanda or rohans death which really were unnecessary
@@TempestGhost Which is why Targe's sacrifice actually makes sense. It was important to bring Zavala back and not just a needless death for no reason.
@@TempestGhostUnnecessary? Wut?
Had less screen time then Rohan from lightfall yet felt infinitely more for targes death
That’s cause it actually was a shock, with Rohan he literally spells it out that he’s going to die upon our first interaction with him
Can i just say, Bungie actually delivered on making the Witness unsettling and threatening. It was going to be a coin toss how it ended up, but I'm totally satisfied with it.
I can't believe Zavala is lightless now.
SAME
He deserves a peaceful retirement
He's going to be a back of the bus backseat bitch like Osiris post sagira
No kidding. I guess its better than killing him off but still.
he asked ikora to teach him stasis he's not out

What good writing does to a mother fucker
I agree
I was happy to see how he goes and what happens with them from then on but SNAP
This cutscene has more story, then the entire lightfall campaign
Lightfall was a Big Strang Tutorial 😅
In destroying Targe, he proved em right.
Targe destroyed himself
@@xachisonfire1pretty sure the witness did.

@@xachisonfire1 No targe definitely was killed, notice how the explosion targe let off was the same as when Sundance was shot in forsaken
@@CabbageSalesmanYou can also see him glowing with light. And you hear something like a blast charging up.
My internet went down as soon this cutscene came up thanks for the upload big man
This is the moment I knew I was gonna put The Witness 6 feet under
Mine was reading the additional lore narrated by Eido. This is just further motivation. B/
Sundance: so your dead to now huh?
Targe: yup now Ophiuchus is the last one left
Edit: I regret starting an argument in the comments I apologize
Sagira:
Death would be preferable to being named Ophiuchus 😔
Glint is also alive
@@sentientmonke8265Glint isnt part of the OG fireteam
@@soraxstacy1477But Crow is apart of the Vanguard
Rip targe hes sippin red mocho coolers with doc venture
thank you for uploading this, missed the cutscene
God those bodies slumping to the floor is so confronting to see. Amazing animation and sound design.
3:36 is 10/10 just as amazing as cayde's "how's your sister" you can even see the witness twitch his eyes a little from the insult
notice how everyones upset and sad about targe. meanwhile we couldnt be bothered with nimbus and rohan when i think targe has way less screen time and he had no introduction other than his is zavalas ghost
It's because people already knew rohan was gonna die but with Targe we've known he's been around since D1
What do you mean, I was mad Cloud Daddy died. 😭

@@chrisa5180targe had no character. Dont act like you had any attachment to his character before TFS
"This man is no longer Precursor, he is The Beast" (Borrowed from Poltergeist 2)
Targe was so determined he made the witnesses hand melt for a moment
Yall think our ghost is gonna die too? Hes quite damaged atm

@@brummyuk-d6fBold of you to think the traveler is thoughtful enough to give gifts
@@imminty6621found the witness’ burner account
@@imminty6621Well, now that Excision is out…yeahhhh
Hehe
3:41 Zavala looking like he got pulled on a wire
Rip Doc Venture
the music is so strong
The witness was just giving him a Rusty Venture
Mega mind in all his glory
I find the sudden "No!" From the dissenter a little goofy
R.I.P Doctor O.
Did Targe sacrifice himself or did Witness crush him?
I think he was trying to detonate himself (like Sagira did to save Osiris), you see him "charging" even before the Witness grabs him.
Hive ghost treatment
Idk , I feel like targe did it to himself
Go team Venture!!
Dr Venture!
My power went out as soon as zavala got grabbed but luckily it looks like ky power was holding out for the cutscene to end lol

What in the hell are you even saying.
@@firstnamelastname4752 Prime example of why you don't do drugs.
It’s so sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma Taj: what’s ligma? Witness:Ligma balls
