The fact that he would risk his life for lizzie carmine with the hammer of dawn coming right at him made me like him even more

[@BryonYoungblood]

Yeah, it's a shame that Lizzie died and JD couldn't save her. It must have had one hell of an effect on him as well as how he felt his recklessness got her and a lot of other people killed when he suggested using the Hammer of Dawn to fight the Swarm. It's easy to see why JD would become more taciturn and by the book as well as distant; he blamed himself and felt if he did that, no one else would die on his watch.

[@SamerAN1985]

Tbh the hammer of dawn looked like the only solution at the time and honestly if no one had acted lizzie's convoy would have been destroyed regardless.

[@xraydj4098]

@@BryonYoungblood if you look at it again you'd see there were too many of them we knew there was no other way unless the hammer had worked properly then yeah there would be a reason but she had time to get out you can clearly see but still dies in the end poor carmine he's losing everyone now

[@sdmiii1102]

I feel sorry for JD, he used the Hammer of Dawn in order to save the civilians, and unfortunately in doing so inadvertently cause Lizzie's death. If he hadn't done that the Swarm would have overrun their position. JD tried to do the right thing and tragedy struck. He blames himself and now tries to do things by the book. Feeling like he failed because he went on instinct.

[@Onyx1776]

Damn thanks for the explanation bro. I understand it more now

[@XRobotWarriorX]

And that right there…. IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!

[@a.jthomas6132]

My only hope for Gears 6 is to give JD some development and undergo some changes since I decided to save him for Marcus’s sake. Let alone a father tried to help him overcome the similar pain he has in the past games.

[@SpookyMarine]

A.J Thomas I do find it stupid that they make you do the “Choose who Dies” because it’s like the writers are treating Del and JD as expendable.

ULTRA MEHREEN couldn’t agree with you more, kinda felt like this part was rushed IMO

[@YoureASquidYoureAKid]

Del*

[@OGGrubKill3r]

A.J Thomas I also saved JD only because I didn't want Marcus to lose everybody. He's already lost Dom, Adam, and Anya, I didn't want him to lose his son too. It sucks because Del was smart, funny, and in my opinion, had more personality than JD. What's happening to Gears? They making you chose who to save and who will die, now that's way more work to put into future games, "CHOICES". Btw when I first saw people chose Del to live, I thought it was going to be some sort of twist and JD end up surviving somehow but nope.

[@michaelfenixmade8958]

They shouldn’t have even given the player an option to choose at the end of the game.. they essentially shot themselves in the foot from a story-telling standpoint for Gears 6.. they either have to make two very drastic story lines or choose a canonical story line and follow through with that.. there is so much more to JD’s character redemption arc that they can go into, and his relationship with Marcus.. without JD, Marcus literally has nothing/no one to fight for.. Seems like he’d be way too eager to self-sacrifice with JD being there.. I guess we will see what they end up doing.

[@Trademarked26]

[@gearssoldier3539]

Ikr it’s like telltale walking dead game now 😂

[@thepianogod5]

I think the whole point of the drastic change is sinply to highlight the fact that as kait said "you two are more alike than youd care to admit" aside from looking very similar there are also parallels in the way they handle loss. If you choose to save jd marcus will try to consol jd only to have jd brush marcus off. And if you choose to save del. Kait tries to talk to marcus only to have marcus brush her off. They both just become bitter and shut themselves off from the world.

[@user-vr8ve6rt9c]

But Marcus does hug his son after Del's death

[@Tony-pu8pf]

Spoiler alert would have been nice

[@kevinesquivel1867]

But the thing is marcus treats everything as though it is his burden, which is clearly due to the lack of family bonding he had as well as the family he gained within the cog. Also marcus had a reason to prove himself. He was branded a traitor for a moment of weakness in which he abandonned ephyra for his dad. James is literally a whiny bitch boy who thinks daddy doesn't love him. Gsars 5 sucks dick wish the game.didnt exist

[@unostopcardxd7199]

@@kevinesquivel1867 Marcus literally did the exact same thing his father did to James. He sent him to boarding school to be raised just like his father did to him. And James did exactly what Marcus did joining the COG just like his father did. Anya also died while James was young much like Marcus’s mother disappeared when he was young. You’re entire point is incorrect. Their difference in personality comes from the fact JD grew up while there was peace, whereas all Marcus ever knew was war because he was born during the Pendulum War. Finally Marcus never gave a shit about redeeming himself after going AWOL to save his father. He just wanted to keep fighting the locust no matter what.

[@connoriquada5429]

I always thought JD was an arrogant douche, and that’s cuz he was. I really feel like the Lizzie situation changed him, as it should have. But it also made him a way more likeable character, plus he looks way more badass. Him running straight at Lizzie to save her proves that he’s not just some asshole who thinks he’s a hot shot. He’s got heart. I feel like he always saw himself as more of a celebrity rather than a soldier, and I think that really clicks with him at the end of this game. If he dies he goes out like a soldier and if he doesn’t, Dels death makes him realize this shit ain’t a game. Lizzies death really hammered that sentiment home first though (no pun intended) Del was just the icing on the cake for the to click with him. I like Del more cuz he has always just been a good guy and didn’t have to let people die for him to stop being a douche so I would’ve chose to save him on my first play through if not for Marcus. Bro has lost too much I couldn’t take away JD too. I mean bro, Dom, Anya, Adam, Tai, like bro has lost so much family and friends, I just can’t do that to him. Not again.

[@Joel_FC]

Personally I don't like Del's response to whem JD said "that's a locust symbol".

He sounds dumb because that should be suspicious AF.

Del though.........Was an easy choice at the end lol

[@anddudewaslike]

I chose Del bc he stood by Kait the whole time, plus JD is the most generic of them all

[@thunderstruck6022]

I chose JD because of Marcus and a line of dialogue in act 2. Kait and Del were venting their frustrations about JD and how he closed himself off and is being an asshole but the next line Kait asks Del about his parents and Del gets really mad and tells her he doesn’t want to talk about it, when Kait presses him he explains he gets angry about it and closes himself off and that’s how he deals with it. Choice was pretty easy when looking back.

First time in settlement 2 was his fault, second time wasn’t but he still held a grudge of innocence being killed because of his recklessness. In fact JD is the greatest among the crew because he can take the leap like Marcus. He has more character than both Del and Kait combined. What’s funny about Lizzie’s death is it’s kinda full circle for Marcus. Marcus still thinks about Anthony and Benjamin and felt like he failed Benjamin the most. I’m the gears 3 opening act we see them both in the dream of an event they were not supposed to be in and play as them.

@@epyonmetal7208 I don't know about that,I mean kait didn't really do anything but I see what you're saying.Marcus should've had a more angry reaction

And yeah,that Would've been cool if JD had ordered it,or Fahz

[@SevenBendy]

Ok… Sure, JD did do the hammer of dawn thing but I blame 50% on the civilians. Just saying that if they would’ve gone out of there just a little faster then maybe just maybe Lizzie would’ve probably lived.

Yeah, good thing rod Ferguson isn't working in the coalition anymore

3rd time I run into your comment lol

Nice I guess

[@Huskypie]

I don’t care what the reason was I like Del more so I saved him

[@raydnchilson7747]

so... where's the explanation?

[@flix1179]

Literally in front of ya, they change his actions and just do the job now, in a cold way, u can see it in the second scene, when he tell she to get out of there even with her friend as a dead corpse

[@smoothskin1372]

I hate when every Carmine dies in each game, it's like they don't care about the story. They introduced a character & then they die.. What's the point if they don't improve story for the campaign. I'm not sure if Gary die, was it Clayton son that die, or was it Clayton Nephew that die, & they never reveal Clayton's fourth brother Carmine, if he was in the war? & if he is still alive? They should give the fourth brother Carmine a spinoff game when he's young & after. Don't kill him off, & reveal his name, too many Carmine's die.

I know Baird is a scientist or whatever but does he really have to wear a white lab coat?

[@captainnwalps6689]

@Mystic Stylez he could wear literally anything else

[@glowhoo9226]

He favored Anya before, but now he definitely looks like the son of Marcus Fenix. He looked a little too Hollywood before the change

[@merdemoiii-7589]

Damn

[@RedHoodFH]

For me, canonically speaking JD is the one that likely dies in gears 5. It makes more sense for the story as a whole to keep Del alive and Kill JD

What’s wrong with his arm?

[@JohnWick-kc9he]

Joshua Chavira The Hammer Of Dawn burnt it

[@Joshua-ir4zw]

John Wick okay that’s what I thought it looked super weird throughout.

[@Mr_Edwards_1995]

At first I thought it was a prosthetic arm but looking closer it seems to be synthetic skin for the burns.

No it's a swarm infection the device is to stop it from spreading.

@@daslowmemeturtleturtle5710 I thought he got the injury from the hammer of dawn in act 1 trying to save Lizzie.
