Gears of War Lore Episode 25 : Inside The Slab/How Marcus Got His Scar!!!

[@thatlemonguy1107]

Send Dogs on Marcus? He doesn’t care. Call his girl a bitch? You have opened a portal to hell upon yourself.

[@creatureman5636]

Necrosis Anlecedius the Dremora Warlord It's doom 3

[@markevans8464]

A what about professor Elliot from gears of war judgment story line he has something to do with myrah

[@thatlemonguy1107]

Mark Evans What does that have anything to do with my post?

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

Necrosis Anlecedius the Dremora Warlord that's what I actually thought. Marcus has been through hell and back so when the warden called anya a bitch it was pretty much he asked for his funeral.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Maybe there should be a gears of war movie that sets the first game into motion

[@Evanuhh]

17:34 Marcus is so badass he chainsaws locust through concrete columns

[@thehoned3950]

badass marcus fact #47/ capable of chainsawing people through concrete walls

I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣

[@espion2KX]

honestly I'd have been okay with two hours of this

Hearing this story had made me wanna play gears 1 again

[@JMS103]

I just finished the first Gears of War and what a game it was. Had trouble killing the last boss. But finally defeated him, moving on to the Second one

[@johnmecca9008]

U finish 2 yet?

[@L1Lassassin1224]

Me to lad

Jason X be prepared to have the time of you life, and cry your eyes out at B . Carmine

[@twistedfirestarter8913]

Try doing it multiplayer on hardcore last boss even more difficult

[@Chuked]

Did you play through them all yet? I started playing them in 2020 and I’ve beat them all on insane except for gears 3 and 5

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

So Marcus was the one who made “Campbell's Chunky Soup”

[@fromtheshadows6268]

Nice one

[@gavenmckeaige2289]

😂

[@aarongonzalez5812]

Why are u everywhere man

[@AnInsaneOstrich]

every time he said "Warder" i thought "it's WARDEN not WARDER" but after some googling, i found out it is warder.

[@TheSenorAwesome]

Why did you not name this series "gears of lore"

[@Barricade2091]

I thought of that before but it probably wouldn't of been as popular. "Gears of War Lore" is something people would actually search for. Not to mention there was a video a long time ago before I started making it by a Lore channel that does Lore for all games. They had one Gears of War Lore video and I think their video helped mine when anyone would search that title. XD

[@TheSenorAwesome]

Barricade2091 Makes sense, great video by the way!

[@t4rci427]

Holy crap I thought of the same thing

[@lganeshan86]

This is very accurate because I read the book myself as a huge GEARS FAN. Well done.

[@nathansanchez8824]

how crazy would it be if they bring Reeves back in Gears 4? I would love to see that throwback and plot twist

[@silenyce]

nathan sanchez looks like a no

[@nathansanchez8824]

Moist R. Sock I know, it sucks, but I guess it was a bit of a stretch

[@silenyce]

nathan sanchez I really wish he did come back cause that would have been really cool or just included him as a multiplayer character

[@12gagebastis]

will probably show up in a DLC or future novel/comic

[@Zerviam]

That'd be dope asf

[@Rushing_Fam]

so glad I found this video. I've been trying to find the story line on Gears of War for a while. Big fan of the games but never was able to get the books or comics. Thanks for this video and explaining the backstory of Marcus Fenix.

[@AnthonyGall0YT]

There should be a game that focuses more on Marcus's past.

[@munchkei]

I’m with you on that

[@statueteethtv]

It wouldn't be gears of war

[@justmando313]

I think it should be a dlc reflecting important battles that he fought in the pendulum wars @AnthonyGall0

[@DARKMADNESS666]

And it would be called.... Gears Before

[@justmando313]

@@DARKMADNESS666 ngl that’s kinda cringe but gears of war 5 is cringe so the dlc should be cringe too ig

Victor Pena me to

[@That89_Vn]

Victor Pena same :D

[@smileyguy24]

This was a great video, I think anyone who plays gears should read the novels, they provide so much information that's not in the games, particularly about Marcus's relationships with Carlos, Dom, Anya and his Dad. P.S. my favourite line from The Slab. 'He reached into his jacket and took out one of the letters. He held it up so Marcus could see the handwriting on the battered COG military envelope. The reaction was instant, silent, and utterly broken. Campbell had beaten the shit out of Marcus without getting so much as a whimper from him, but the sight of that neat, methodical handwriting had brought tears to his eyes.'

[@shishaceo5204]

its actually the best that he saved his father, because he saved the world

[@shadsedge]

Note:when Griffin(Ice T) callee Anya a "bitch" in gears if war 3 when you go meet him during the whole cutscene where he shows he captures Dizzy and what not,you can see Marcus wanting to beat the living shit outta him just because he called her a bitch but he waited til he finished saying what he needed to say

[@tkthrowback2345]

You did a good job man! I really liked how in depth Anya & Marcus' relationship was years before the first game. They were young when they started sleeping together. I like how Dom told Any that Marcus never spends the night with her because he gets nightmares and screams in his sleep.

[@gabe.22]

dude, this backstory of while Marcus Fenix was in prison is so fucking awesome. it explains so much i really didnt know. good shit bro! 👌🔥💯

[@senormarston]

Marcus has become, hands down, one of my all time favorite gaming characters. I love how constantly angry he is but at the same time he's such a deep and complex character that have learned how to deal with the cruelty of war and lost

[@Nerdlikehistory]

You can really tell a story keep up the good work

[@erodoeht4666]

I think you're right that guard that had it out for Marcus has probably never seen a wretch before if he thought dogs would be enough to put down Marcus.

[@Jebus53]

I've always wondered about the scar, 👍 great vid man

[@LR-420]

I can imagine the prisoners seeing Marcus and being, "Ok that's a dude that kills monsters."

[@shadsedge]

theres further more questions to this bringing this too gears of war 3 map the slab like "which one is Marcus cell" and "was Rese the one executed on the electric chair as if the locust has patched him and executed him there?"just like how the locust would catch ppl and in prison them or leave them somewhere for them to be tortured shown in the mids of gears 2 and the ending of gears 4

[@shadsedge]

Reeves im mean idk

[@disgustedkirbo7335]

I'm so confused 😭😂

[@ShadowDragonBorn]

I remember seeing Marcus coming out of that pod in gears4 for the first time.... I knew he wouldn't die like that but nearly hit me hard, like how Rick Grimes in the walking dead blowing up the bridge... I'm not the emotional type, but I'd cry if Marcus ever dies.

[@artdependent84]

dude! take your time when doing these. i dont care if its longer. thanks for the details man

[@Big_baasman]

I'm just wondering, what did marcus eat while in a cell?

[@MeditatedYeti]

the cog gave him food

[@Big_baasman]

what about after everyone was pardoned?

[@MeditatedYeti]

MDJ963 he survived for a few days until dom got him out the cell

[@silenyce]

MeditatedYeti actually, Marcus was in there for one hour then Dom saved him

[@jaydenmartinovich1707]

Moist R. Sock Marcus was in there there four years.

[@Aristocratic13]

Did Marcus ever.... *gulps.... drop the soap?

[@Barricade2091]

hahahahahaha XD As far as the novel stated, no one ever tried to rape him. He made a huge impression of "do not fuck with this guy" after he beat the shit out of the "main badass" in the prison on his first day.

[@Aristocratic13]

@110684368138556909703 Ok good, that would just heartbreak me. Marcus has had a lot of stuff happen to him. Kind of like Guts off of Berserk

[@prosper3478]

No but if he did he would beat up the person who would try to rape him

[@thelastodst4029]

No he would of killed them

[@sicklygem]

Bish, if by soap you mean people who tried to touch him, yea he probably dropped em

[@thevideogamehunger0134]

17:35 how can you chainsaw a locust through a wall

[@josephjenkinson-cross8835]

Could you make a video on JACK because I always found him as a cool sidekick to delta squad

[@SSEAPKC]

Joseph Jenkinson-cross if you're talking about the robot there's a part in gears of war judgement that fleshes Jack out pretty well.

[@creatureman5636]

He's more of a mascot

I hope "Gears Of War: E-Day," will go focus more on this. That, and the LOCUST SIDE of E-Day.

[@Jordaski1]

Well they said they planing on making a movie

[@tylermoore2942]

Prescott:make sure he has someone to protect him. Warder:yes sir! Me:he needs protection? ?? boi!

[@vexile12]

Its the other way around... the prison needed someone to protect them from him

[@ChefMcToastEM]

20:00 is part is a little weird though, Dom says "Man if command knew I was here to get you, I'd be in some deep shit!" So I don't get why it would be disobeying when command wanted Marcus out to service because Hoffman was running out of soldiers.

[@MagicMoneyMob]

I can imagine ending on a fucked up note like when Campbell releases the dogs and Barricade is left all fucked up while he's working.

[@Barricade2091]

XD

[@locustslayer6147]

Best story ever told! This needs to be a movie

[@andycameron2714]

6:56 Grub Sniper "HEADSHOT!"

[@theremixxkidd]

Andy Cameron lmao

[@Vyk1ngTh0r]

At the beginning of the Aspho Field book, Delta knew someone was following them but didn't know who. It almost seems like Marcus thought it was Reeves. If she would have written The Slab 1st, I'm sure those characters would have made a reappearance or at least a mention. I'm sure that would have been one of those moments.

[@yarbzilla]

Overall a good video, however I would like to correct a few inaccuracies; 1) Moreno didn't tear the rug up he had just taken out and was playing keep away from chunky marcus came up from behind pulled it away and tossed it to chunky 2) Moreno says something like (paraphrase don't have the book in front of me) "want to go Fenix?" And Fenix replies "sure I have plenty of time". 3) the fight doesn't start until Moreno reaches for the knife, in which Fenix barrels into him, stealing him and starts throwing blows. 4) the beating he took from the warders actually endeared him to the guards to the point chunky starts making Marcus a rug and when they start digging an escape tunnel they invite Marcus yup join them (initially refuses later joins them)

[@elicahill3045]

“Call me sugar, and I’ll break your fucking legs” I love Gears Of War

[@deadmanfilmz2496]

If the they make a gow 5 which they probably will, that reeve meets Marcus years and years later after the prison

[@TheCraigHudson]

Wicked story, I always thought the locust found out were Marcus wa being held and invaded the area

[@garrickslings6113]

wow I'm new to the chanells and I just have to say good work and keep it up!

[@juicewar3805]

Dude, Marcus is literally the most testosterone fueled man in any videogame, wish this was covered in the games at least a little bit

[@chanceshankle1285]

its so crazy to listen to back stories on some games. resident evil and gears of war by have the best story/back stories IN MY OPINION

[@uncleterryreal]

But... he’s THE Marcus Fenix, ya know... the one that fought at Aspho Fields!

[@MsLeighton41]

there should be a gears of war movie not about any main charicters but instead a found footage movie like cloverfeild and walkthrough the city with a group of civilians trying to survive and the cog fighting them off.

[@dirtbarton2174]

I’m here just for another playthrough of gears. I played this in college & forgot why Marcus was in prison. Love this game series.

[@npc1172]

So Marcus had rich boy benefits but didn’t need it cause he’s that badass.

Did not know there was an audio book, I'll have to look for it. Thanks for the interesting info some of it I never knew!

I started reading The Slab because of you!

[@skilfultracker]

good video man! i have not read the books but im a big fan of gears, and you got the information thanks mate

[@BigWillyPlays]

hey nice vid. you should make another one talking about how the COG and ICR (or whatever the name of the other humans the COG went to war with for 70+ years) started. maybe even how the Locust started. AND MAYBE even how the Swarm started.

Thanks I was listening to this while playing Gears of war 4😂 keep the good work up!👍🏽

[@silentwarrior3]

They should bring back Reev in Gears 5. Have him and Marcus meet up too lol. It would be awesome.

[@crypto40]

I never understood the slab part, if the locust was wiping out humanity how come they sent people to the prison and how if the gog and locust are always at war why were the prison looked after seems a waste of resources

[@devanlitz39]

I never actually read the books. i just played the game. i have read all the comics, and they do have quite a fair amount of back story on Marcus fenix and the members of delta and ect. But the book would go way further into detail, and would make gears of war so much better i think. so im diffidently going to pick up the books for sure. Thanks for the video man it was awesome.

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

The Gears fictional universe would make for a great series. Could go as far back as their travels in space to reach that planet, to the founding of the planet, to the events prior to the Wars just starting, to the war with the locusts. It is just a good setting for stories.

[@brourie]

Really interesting thanks for this, so happy to finally know what happened in that damn prison. For sure going to read if i ever get my hands on it.

[@ooeygooeyweed7109]

I just can’t help but notice how ironically there was a commercial ad for the new “joker” movie 😂😂😂😂

[@mknox2809]

Barricade2091 hey thanks for the story man now i know the story of that scar.

[@DS-wl5pk]

“Normal sized people” yeah, why are they so massive? I know not all COGs are but that just leads to the idea that a few soldiers have actually been genetically modified, most likely without the knowledge of the soldiers. It would be done through rations or during a “regular checkup”. It really only explains why they are massive outside of armor and the rest of the population and COG soldiers being only slightly larger then Stranded. Officers wouldn’t need to be massive cause they aren’t frontline… or not all of them want to be. Hoffman is huge, but he fights A LOT, unlike Prescott. Adam fought, he’s massive and STAYS massive even after he stops fighting. A lot of evidence points towards genetic modification

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

Gears of war would of made a good animated series. Not live action but animated. Gotta keep them buff bois

[@Lukysucc]

Who else wants a gears movie but like a good one

[@Grindtime69]

Wow this is stuff ... i wanted to know since 2010 when i bought gears of war and nice video liked it alot and good to know that marcus was a badass in jail even more a good badass

[@qs0176]

I loved the video and how you have us all the details on what happened!!! As constructive criticism I would try and work on the wording of your sentences because they were sort of repetitive. You earned yourself a like on this video!
