Who Is the Final Boss in the Borderlands Movie?
That big, scary monster you saw at the end? That's the Destroyer! The Borderlands movie creators made a little Easter egg reference from the game, and even though the movie bombed at the box office, that one character might make a comeback!
What Happens to the Destroyer?
Remember Atlas, the greedy corporate guy? Well, in the Borderlands movie, the Destroyer drags him off! The Destroyer was in the Vault, which had this amazing technology that made the Home Planet a mess! And that's why we are all so fascinated with those Borderlands characters!
Did This Villain Ever Show Up in the Games?
Yep! The Destroyer, in the first Borderlands video game, was super locked up in that Vault for a long time - centuries ago! But it turns out, Lilith (who's awesome as a Treasure Hunter) freed the Destroyer, even if she didn't know it, because she opened the Vault to rescue Tiny Tina. Now it makes a lot of sense!
Why Was "The Destroyer" Kept in the Vault?
Think of this as a major Borderlands mystery. Apparently, back when the Eridians ruled those planets, they locked away this beast in the Vault!
- That's because the Destroyer could cause a total mess, and if you've seen that crazy planet in Borderlands, you know they already have some big challenges to handle. That is why the game’s creators gave it a spot as a major villain.
- Now it’s got everyone talking about a sequel: Borderlands 2 - which means maybe a Borderlands Cinematic Universe could be happening. That's really what these film folks are thinking!
What Are Other Big Things to Know About the "Borderlands" Movie?
It was a wild adventure, a super cool mix of Borderlands sci-fi, comedy, and even some tough fighting!
- We've got those super likable characters who'd do anything to find treasure, all those Borderlands characters!
- This crazy, adventurous action comedy has everyone hooked! Borderlands was made because those video games - they were insanely popular - so it makes sense why they’d think a Borderlands film would work too, right?
- There were some wild events! Even though this movie kind of missed its target when it hit the box office.
- In the end, the Borderlands tycoon made some mistakes and learned his lesson when he ended up being hauled away by the Destroyer - he was such a problem in the Borderlands lore.
The Borderlands movie really is an interesting story and it will be interesting to see what kind of Borderlands sequel happens - we need to know how the story turns out - so we will have to wait and see. But for now - you can watch those crazy Movies and then, grab those games, and you are totally in the right place!
And it seems that Borderlands has some real potential in those video games! Who's up for some treasure hunting and fighting those monsters? It will be fun!
