#the game doesnt show you his grief because they dont want you to empathize with someone who is pathologically trying to destroy the other

I think Handsome Jack cried so hard he threw up once he really stood and acknowledged Angel's passing

#i genuinely believe he thought he was doing what was best for her #and maybe he was also punishing her for killing her mother on accident #hes a human there's only so much he can do #and focusing his rage over losing his wife on getting rid of all bandits #bandits that caused the death of his wife by attempting to kidnap his daughter to use her siren abilities to discover vaults #and that being the very same thing that kills her #the game doesnt show you his grief because they dont want you to empathize with someone who is pathologically trying to destroy the other #and i get that. its a simple video game #nuance could muddy things #but i think he loved his daughter #and wept as soon as he was alone #he sought power to protect her #and now he has nothing left #and sometimes i think he may have wanted to die #at the end of BL2 #because he failed in completing his one true goal of saving his daughter from herself #anyways sorry #borderlands #handsome jack #redacted
