“So Happy Together” Analysis
i don’t sleep
tl;dr: tbh not much to go off on about. i think we see a new skin for Iron Bear, one with some stripes. amara smiles, i do talk a little bit about little sisters in bioshock but tbh i think this was all just a stylistic choice lol. oh and handsome jack’s masks- probably Mount Jackmore. i don’t want to get to freaked out over jack returning, but damn gearbox lol u had me there for a second. im pretty sure it’s just a reused cut quest from bl2 that they never got to implement. 
EDIT: here’s all the cut content in bl2 (plus all the non-cut content as well for funsies). you can go to the cut quests and see the audio files for claptrap’s jackmore quest
holy shit can i just vomit all my emotions rn, they’re all good so imma do that so im rational when i start analyzing stuff okay? okay! 
holy shit that was fucking great and im really glad i tempered my expectations to something smaller than i thought because i feel bad for people expecting something huge, i was under the assumption we’d be getting a new mechanic that was like ‘choose ur +1 and they’ll be able to play the game with you if you’re both online even if they don’t have the game’ which was what someone said on reddit. altho im sure the poor company is gonna get spammed now with hate like ‘WTF YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BUILT THIS UP AAAA’. not to lie, i was slightly disappointed it wasn’t a longer stream, but i mean if they’ve got nothing to announce, they’ve got nothing to announce and HEY! new trailer!!! gonna be combing thru on the assumption this has some easter eggs like the MoM trailer did, just in case. i thought it was a cute trailer, gearbox never explicitly said what it was gonna be, a lot people all just assumed what was gonna happen was a demo/beta which sucks so i hope this doesn’t negatively impact people’s perspective of the game. im staying off reddit for now bc when i first checked it people were pretty pissed and i dun need that negativity lmao
okay! emotions are LOCKED behind closed doors. i am shifting into study mode. here we go boys/girls/those of us who know better. haven’t done one of these in a while, let’s see if im rusty at all.
Tumblr media
claptrap! and the skull on the chair which reminds me of tyreen’s “favorite skull”. 
Tumblr media
tv says “we are under attack, please stand by”
and afaik claptrap is near the beginning of the game, you can see part of the recruitment center behind him when the camera pans.
im thinking there might be something in the roses, specifically the hand-drawn roses later on in the trailer. will be keeping an eye open for that.
Tumblr media
this is specifically a jakobs brand chest. i really like the see-through aesthetic of it
Tumblr media
intro area of the game again. possible hint to the opening cutscene? tbh i was worried that’s what we were about to get because i haven’t finished the roughs of my mock up lol
so what i didn’t notice my first time through is that you can then see claptrap, also being shown in the chest
Tumblr media
waving up at the camera. that’s not trippy at all or anything lol
Tumblr media
this car in the foreground (with no one driving it, mind you)
Tumblr media
randomly combusts, looking quite like elpis in that one shot of the claptrap presents pandora trailer. wonder if that means it’s gonna ‘splode.
Tumblr media
ohhh it spins. please no spin imma get motion sick blech
shot of some cultists. one appears to have a jetpack near the bottom right there
Tumblr media
another explosion to the beat
Tumblr media
the shock wave!!!! that’s awesome
Tumblr media
shock nomads cultists are back. f in chat for our shields
Tumblr media
another cultist seconds before he gets blown to bits
it cuts to black for a secco as it moves thru said explosion
Tumblr media
another cultist, i assume a psycho
Tumblr media
finally some good fucking angles
Tumblr media
heh.
idk what i expected from someone who’s first action skill line i ever heard was them shouting MAGIC WALL!!! TAAAADAAAAAAAAH
as a side note
who is shooting those lasers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we see them coming from behind the VHs, but
Tumblr media
there’s nothing there
SPOOKY~
Tumblr media
they’re coming from... the wall???
Tumblr media
tfw u shot urself in the foot on accident
Tumblr media
amara is not amused
Tumblr media
`is this some human custom i don’t understand yet`
also i hate that i’ve done this exact dance before when i took dance classes as a kid
Tumblr media
with less style of course, i was like 7
Tumblr media
moze is into it, hell yeah
Tumblr media
this reminds me a lot of Kingsman. where all the blood is like fireworks and stuff. i wonder if that has anything to do with the psycho brainwashing. like little sisters in bioshock. they see roses instead of blood, right? maybe there’s something like that going on with the psychos
i’d certainly hope our vault hunters aren’t brainwashed, anyway.
Tumblr media
this dude looking SHOCKED to see that tho, lmfao
Tumblr media
i relate to this man on a spiritual level i stg
Tumblr media
man he looks pissed
Tumblr media
omfg lol
Tumblr media
“um”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“i guess this is okay”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the body language in this is gold i am just having the time of my life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
adsfdgfhgjhgfk
Tumblr media
this is so cute
Tumblr media
also in retrospect, i think this is one of the turrets we see on promethea. i wonder what it’s doing here!
Tumblr media
moze u ok?
oh nvm she’s into it, look at her! she’s dancing! She’s Dancin’!
Tumblr media
oooo one of the robots from the we are mayhem trailer! okay you can totally see why i think they’re jakobs, RIGHT???
Tumblr media
iirc this is a maliwan soldier
man this is a crossover event, isn’t it?
i get it now. togetherness. i gotchu gearbox.
Tumblr media
some maliwan ships in the sky. possibly sanc-iii on the right? or a ship of the same model as sanc-iii!
Tumblr media
this is a magitek dropship, change my mind
eh, they both start with M, fuck it.
Tumblr media
no idea what fl4k is doing here
Tumblr media
mayyyybe shielding themselves from the ‘firework’/confetti shower
Tumblr media
i like that the confetti explosions are backed up by purple, you know like eridium/slag/siren powers. seriously, maybe this is just how to cultists see us Vault Hunters and the mass murder.
at the very least, the psychos.
Tumblr media
fl4k’s into it. i wish we knew the name of their skag, if it has one. i hope it does.
well now the lasers are coming from the other side! what the hell
Tumblr media Tumblr media
moving on
i think this is the HBC from the speakers, plus im pretty sure that skull and the stained glass are the entrance to mouthpiece’s arena
we also get a different colored explosion. im paranoid jack is somehow making a return (please god no), so i’ll just note it’s the same color as his eyes.
Tumblr media
AND the chests are vomiting out gold guns, which i think, gold-plated gear, is the cult’s way of signifying standing. which im sure is a tongue-in-cheek commentary as gearbox gives out a gold weapon pack as a pre-order bonus. no, like, it even shows up as an ad on the video
Tumblr media
smh gearbox lmao
oh, also, the cultists are doing fuckin flying impressions
im not saying its a reference to the cultist with rakk wings on the cover, buuuut
Tumblr media
bitch it might be lol
Tumblr media
it’s an upside-down vault symbol! ive been trying to figure out what that is in those screens for the longest time!
Tumblr media
back on promethea and we get to see fl4k’s spiderant in action
Tumblr media
their skag, too, of course
Tumblr media
the jabbermon in the back there, too! i wonder if they’re going to be shock or cryo. i would imagine shock given how they’re glowing
also i love the way the flowers look in contrast to the character models
Tumblr media
moze is so happy aw
Tumblr media
i love the way fl4k’s skag comes flying in and slides to a stop. such a good doggo ;-;
Tumblr media
this is beautiful, i want it as a wallpaper
moze skipping? holy shit
Tumblr media
100% verified the best thing i’ve ever seen
Tumblr media
i lied. this is.
Tumblr media
is this the fast travel station effect?
also! IB is looking a bit different
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i wonder if this is a redesign or if IB is wearing a new skin moze picked out
Tumblr media
pan over to zane who clearly doesn’t notice the being of darkness and horror in the doorway
oh also, we’re on eden-6 now. which would explain the fast travel effect
Tumblr media
psychos dancing on the rooftops lol
Tumblr media
oh god my eyes
Tumblr media
nothing to really say here, i just like this screenshot
Tumblr media
pink shields booyah
Tumblr media
this is so fucking cute
Tumblr media
we also get a better look at that one facility on eden-6
is that... red i see? >w> i won’t say it i won’t i won’t say it i swear i just- ATLAS
fuck
Tumblr media
i like that zane’s clone spawns with his melee attachment
Tumblr media
not AS excited as the real life version though
Tumblr media
GB pls let this be a zane emote
is that a varkid? on eden-6?
Tumblr media
wtf is a varkid doing on eden-6???
more shots of the facility btw. reminds me a lot of sanc-iii so maybe this actually is the supamax mfg construction facility like i originally thought. hmmmmmmm
Tumblr media
ah yes, of course
Tumblr media
holy shit what is this a reference to?
im told it’s the sex pistols
Tumblr media
the back of the bullet turns into Athenas
Tumblr media
pans in
Tumblr media
amara!
Tumblr media
enemy with a top hat on. some variation of/upgraded gravedigger? it’s like a psycho but recolored with blue pants and a top hat. you can see it fall off when amara shoots him
y’know, these guys
Tumblr media Tumblr media
some rakk in the background
i am hoping bc this is a celebration of togetherness we’re seeing all enemies everywhere, not that the planets don’t have their own unique fauna.
Tumblr media
she’s so happy omfg
Tumblr media
oh, you want some?
Uhhh then there’s THIS sequence
Tumblr media
they’re doing the flying thing again lmao
Tumblr media
there’s also whatever that black blob is on the left. a spaceship maybe?
Tumblr media
car wheel
Tumblr media
all their eyes started glowing red. uh oh gamers
also another fast travel effect
Tumblr media
hmmmm... zarpedon is that you??
back on pandora.
Tumblr media
“super 87 racetrack”, maybe this is near that motorcade fast travel we saw?
Tumblr media
huzzah! rainbows!
Tumblr media
i do believe that’s sanctuary-iii
Tumblr media
another ship. drop ship?
Tumblr media
elpis is looking nice this time of year. definitely not explode-y. yet.
Tumblr media
pret-ty sure that’s iron bear. moze is standing atop the tower lmao
also! back to it’s old paint scheme. looks like moze was using a skin or smth
Tumblr media
we also have this. are my eyes failing me or is that a big cross on the left? could be where jack was buried. 
also i know there was cut content in bl2 about Mount Jackmore! and this looks like a Mount Jackmore to me. it’s a cut quest where claptrap asks you to basically ruin the thing. but since the quest was cut, it’s still here in bl3. maybe they’ll reintegrate the quest lol
i can’t imagine it being roland’s gravesite. because it looks like the below.
Tumblr media
i do know we’re going to roland’s grave in bl3, but the statues don’t really match up. maybe it is and the statues were broken, or ruined or something and replaced by a cross. could be then that the gravesite was defaced with, well, the guy that killed him. 
im really hoping jack doesn’t make a return. im fine with dealing with what he set in motion, and his influence, and probably even some ECHO logs and movie trailers, but please, for the love of god, don’t actually bring him back, AI or otherwise. im really excited for the calypso twins, i’d really hate to see the focus shift back to that guy. he’s had his fingers in every borderlands game. it’s time to let him go.
Tumblr media
idk what this is exactly. it looks like maybe that weird eye bot troy stands next to in the intro for the behind closed doors panel?
Tumblr media
goodbye mr magical jakobs chest, it’s been real
the RC now has red drapes going down it. have those always been there? i don’t remember those
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hmmmmmmmmm maybe we’re looking at it from the back đŸ€”
anyway, that’s all she wrote. i haven’t see any hidden morse code messages or anything yet, but if something surfaces, i’ll be sure to add it here.
