"Everybody thinks they're the heroes of their own stories"

-Handsome Jack

I got to meet handsome jacks voice actor at a convention once, I wasn't allowed in but snuck in, and he called me put for it, but let me stay, it was great

The most realistic villain in borderlands is that guy who tripped down the stairs and died

[flamee]

One thing I loved about Handsome Jack was the fact that after you kill Angel, I really could not tell if he was just pissed you killed his daughter, or pissed because you robbed him of his key to the Warrior and this was him just coping to make you the bad guy in his mind.

Handsome Jack has my favorite line in any game ever. It's when you've infiltrated his city and are destroying his statues, there's a moment of silence, then a deadpan, "You are such an asshole." No grandeur, but no subtlety either. Just his blunt, honest opinion of the player character. It's refreshing in a way.

You really start to feel bad for Jack after playing through the pre-sequel because he was played like a fiddle, and thrown to the side once he was no longer needed, it makes his final words in borderlands 2 all the more impactful, he really was a good guy, but even good people have their limits
Edit: to yall who disagree with me, that's fine, have ur own opinion, just be nice with how you phrase it

"You're a savage! You're a maniac! You are a bandit AND I AM THE GODDAMN HERO!" -Handsome Jack, the broken man who was betrayed over and over and over again by people who he considered friends.

[borgor]

Jack is the embodiement of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

[theinternetsdevil]

"I will pay you to kill yourself"

-Handsome Jack-

😂 still one of my favorites lines

[idontevenknow]

Handsome jack is hand down my favorite villain in any media, hes funny, hes 3 dimensional, he feels real and thats what makes him lovable but also scary.

[handsomejack]

They betrayed me because they didn’t have the balls to do what it takes to save the innocent. That’s why….I wanted to rid Pandora of those Backstabbing bandits….

Finally someone mentions borderlands after all these years 🙌. One of the best games with one of the best villains

[tohwangkaien]

The epitome of “you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain”

'You Are The Bandit, and I AM THE GODAMN HERO!' - Handsome Jack.

[voidishprattles]

"Jack's story is the most realistic..." Immediately starts talking about ancient alien civilizations.

[matthewcolosi]

I love Handsome Jack as much as the next guy. Really. I love Borderlands 2. It’s my favorite game of all time. But honestly, this video just comes off as “Handsome Jack is the most realistic video game villain of all time because he has a backstory”

[muybienyt]

And one thing that I like about handsome jack over most villans is that, he showed the perfect balance between insanity and knowledge. Yes he was pushed over the brink and lose his sanity but kept his prior knowledge and used it for his own benefit instead of being a generic maniac

[IsThatDonnieDiddle]

Jacks character is one of the best written villains to this day

[SnaksiXD]

"The most realistic story for a villain"
"Ok, so in an alien planet full of aliens..."

[RagnarokMic]

Dutch Van Der Linde: “And I took that personal.”
