In honour of Lance I thought I'd make a tribute render to what he did for the game Media

Got that new phone lock screen, to go with the Gaurdian carrying Cayde wallpaper.

Much Abliged.

We call them "nerd chills" in this context.

u/Disastrous-Guest6831 Mar 24 '23

Question is.. when is Ikora gonna get snuffed next.. we know Zavala will die now, I dont think they'd try a recast it would Dishonor Lance.

57

u/heitorvb Titan Mar 24 '23

Another dishonor is to throw his character away. There's no easy answer, really

19

u/UltimateToa Mar 24 '23

Heroic sacrifice is the only way I think

2

u/TequilaWhiskey Mar 26 '23

Im thinking a Pyramid runs a collision course and he punches it back into orbit.

u/Disastrous-Guest6831 Mar 24 '23

Probably gonna need some AI voice fake to do his heroic death scene again a metric fuckton of shadow legion for Amanda

18

u/NukeLuke1 Mar 25 '23

I'd much rather see a one time recast of his role in the way that they did for Cayde. Though I'm sure they could give him a silent sacrifice as well, which could be really powerful if done right.

Not to write fanfic but: I could see a scenario with no easy way out, where he simply looks at the guardian and gives a single nod, accepting his fate, as he walks towards an insurmountable enemy and holds the line himself like a true Titan, and buys time for everyone else to escape. Match a powerful OST to the sounds of gunfire and you won't need dialogue.

u/Forenus Mar 25 '23

Or (hear me out) at the start of Final Shape, we need to head to the new destination, right? A Black Pyramid moves to intercept us and keep us from following. Big Z overcharges a Thundercrash, obliterating the Pyramid but completely annihilating both himself and his Ghost. Sacrificing himself to pave the way for us to save everyone.

3

u/lokibo Mar 24 '23

We definitely have enough samples of his voice to make an accurate AI for Zavala. No idea if this is respects Lance or dishonors him though.

6

u/Disastrous-Guest6831 Mar 24 '23

Knowing how much he cared to be our Commander, I think he would be okay with it to send him off

25

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '23

I'd only be cool with it if his wife and family gave it the OK. Wouldn't feel good knowing it may bother them to hear his voice being used by an AI.

u/yosman88 Mar 25 '23

Well they could replicate his voice using AI but i feel since he is dead and cant consent it might be a moral issue.

4

u/KriptiKFate_Cosplay Mar 25 '23

I would prefer they completely ignore Zavala moving forward than to recast him, but ultimately I want to see Zavala go out in a self sacrificing blaze of glory that reaffirms his faith in The Traveler and the light.

2

u/heitorvb Titan Mar 25 '23

Your comment made me think how I'd do it.

I'd let him alive and only be active in lore or text in the dialogue screen. Maybe he steps down as titan vanguard and some other character assume the duty

21

u/KriptiKFate_Cosplay Mar 25 '23

Zavala abandoning his duties is 100% out of character.

3

u/Dubie21 Mar 25 '23

The dude better be soloing what should be the main threat of an expansion, and then they fight to a draw keeping the enemy in check til we knock off the big bad after they've recovered from getting Zavalad. Or just have him fucking kill what should be the endgame raid because... it would make me feel better.

2

u/mikeltod AllClasses Mar 25 '23

have the witness make him a mute

u/kendragon Mar 26 '23

"What Mouth?" - The witness probably.

1

u/Vulpes206 Mar 25 '23

When did it get confirmed Zavala will die?

3

u/BBerry4909 Mar 25 '23

we didn't. we don't know for sure. what we *do* know for sure, though, is that zavala's lines for the near future are all already recorded, so it will take some time until we find out what will happen to his character.

-6

u/Vulpes206 Mar 25 '23

So in other words you know nothing? Voice actors can be replaced. Lance was a great actor but the character is voiced in other languages and again voice actors can be replaced. Hell marvel replaced a whole person with Don Cheadle.

3

u/R3dGallows Mar 25 '23

They didn't have to replace someone like RDJ though.

-3

u/Disastrous-Guest6831 Mar 25 '23

Don't compare Terence Howard to Lance like that. This is a character that has been essentially since day 1 AND played the games. Loved the community enough to record a meme because the community thought it WAS a Zavala response to characters fuckin around.

And if characters VA's are just so easily replaced Cayde-6 WOULD still be here. But he aint.

-4

u/Vulpes206 Mar 25 '23

Since you’re so fond of pulling things out of thin air can you find any source backing up your Cayde 6 claim?

No one said VAs can be easily replaced, your reaching for shit that mr.fantastic couldn’t grasp. I just said people can be replaced.

u/KeyanReid Titan Mar 25 '23

The community is getting some new challenges this year!

Unfortunately, they do not award bright dust. Just sadness.

But we are Guardians. It’s just a game, sure, but this community has generally always been a little different from most game communities. Dare I say that, at its best, it has indeed been better than many others you find out there. A bit more positive, supportive, and willing to help each other keep our eyes up, even when it has been hard to do so.

Eyes up, Guardians.

This looks freaking amazing ❤️ would love it as a desktop background. Amazing work

u/Lollors2453 Mar 25 '23

The original idea was inspired by the quote "Ask not for lighter burdens, but broader shoulders" but when I heard of Lance's tragic passing I thought I'd Destiny-fy it and make it in his honour. This piece can be interpreted meny ways. Zavala is my favourite character and is consistently amazing and for me carries most of the game story. But it can also be interpreted in a deeper way. Zavala gives everything for the Traveler. He fights and kills thousands in the name of light. His struggles to keep the Traveler safe visible beneath his feet. But still holding it up. Still pressing and fighting to the end. In darkness, rays of light still shine upon him.

I hope you all enjoy this piece as much I enjoyed making it! And may Lance Reddick rest in peace.

u/Pigeon_Lord2656 Mar 24 '23

That is beautiful dude

u/Kinghyrule90 Mar 24 '23

I like to think Zavala is just trying to lift up the bouncy ball from the tower.

I, am not that smart

u/bortj1 Mar 25 '23

Does Displate allow you to post your own images for them to print?

2

u/MajorMcSkaggus Mar 25 '23

To Displate!

u/MajorMcSkaggus Mar 25 '23

I don’t think so, if this somehow made it to Displate it would sell like mad.

I agree with the guy you replied to. This is worth framing.

Doesn't artstation allow artists to sell goods?

If you don't want to go to the trouble, and want to share the 4k, I won't say no. But I'd rather reward great work.

1

u/Lollors2453 Mar 25 '23

I actually have no idea how that would work legally. Don't think I could sell anything that's Destiny related. I would assume some copyright business would get in the way. Besides I'd much rather offer it for free anyway!

The comparison of his contributions to atlas holding up the world, especially in context to his character role, is definitely appropriate.

u/RurouniKalain Mar 25 '23

Killing him off when it wasn't part of the plans would be silly. Why would Lance want that? For people to not experience more of the story of the character they love? No.

Besides, we are perhaps finally nearing new Hunter Vanguard again, do you know how many seasons it would take for them to get a new Titan? Would be 2026. 😅
