War is a close second I voice

I feel like fury is the best voiced

Only when Michael Wincott is the one voicing him.

@@gravelrun4028 dude has had an epic voice since I learned of him in The Crow back in the 90s

@@octopunch9300 EXACTLY!!!!

Beautiful

Sharman prime who cares if there doing the opposite I only care about how good the story,design and voice actor

@@dobigaming2gamer89 Sorry. I just thought there was some weird symbolism in the story. I enjoy it too.

Woah I never actually realised that but you’re right! That’s really awesome and kinda beautiful in a way.

@@willmckean8424 Thank you!

Michael Wincott is irreplaceable.

Literally everyone

I hope they cast Michael Wincott again if we get another game with Death in it. I was disappointed when I heard someone else (Jason Spisak) voicing him in Fury's hallucination in Darksiders III.

@@The_Raven_168 I cope with that by telling myself that Lust got it wrong.

good old Rusty i honestly like War’s voice better.

Mine is the first darksiders (haven't played the third one yet)

Darksiders 2 is the game that I got in to Darksiders vary fun but confusing at times

How well said u almost made me cry ❤

FAXXXXXXXXXX

It's not just hinted, it's outright stated. Same for why the council is doing what they've done, it's stated in DS3 that it's because of corruption

@@jumbo9386 I am notsure that's what they meant when they said that the council is corrupted. I think they meant corrupt in the same way a politician or police officer might be corrupt. I don't think they were referring to the black goo.

@@Hynotama I think they definitely were. They went through all the effort to set the plot points up after all.

Yeah, that's what he said.

@@liam7930 lol

Truth.

War is the most physically powerful yes. I'm pretty sure that when Death starts compensating with his magic though that he's stronger still.

@@TheStraightestWhitest I completely understand that and was in no way excluding the benefits Fury and death have when it comes to the arcane I was just putting out there that if Magic was not a factor in this universe that war would most likely be the most powerful being only second to the creator it's self

@@toyboxstudios7517 I think War is the second strongest of the Horsemen, just second to Death. The thing is that even without magic, Death is still faster, more experienced, equal in skill, and literally immortal. It's implied that one on one the only ones capable of beating Death are the Lord of Bones and Lucifer, maybe Samael as well, though the two fought while Death wasn't even at full strength, and it was a stalemate. In general this rule only counts when he's weakened. With his full might (either taken or with the Council's blessing) Death has very few equals. I think Lucifer is quite literally the sole character above even prime Death. And that's why the fifth game will have all Horsemen band together to tear him apart, hehe. It's still speculation though. Samael was a rival of Lucifer according to Lilith, and Death equals him. Who's to say he can't rival Lucifer. It make sense I suppose; you can't beat death, the very aspect of it. You just die.

@@TheStraightestWhitest I get what you are saying, but when war let he's rage take control, and almost killed fury in the process, it took all 3 of them to calm him down, that's how war lost he's arm. Death as even said war scares him sometimes.

Death comes to all Samael was testing Death’s power, it was like a show testing more than a battle, because Samael is plotting and scheming all along the events since the battle with thr Niphelim, so Samael is playing his own game for the upcoming great war, don’t forget he’s able to see the future also, when he told Death “Sometimes the Hero dies in the end, ask your brother “ which it took way back before even War rides to Earth, in addition, Samael gave him the key because he already knows that giving the key willingly would piss Lucifer off, and that’s what happened in Darksiders 1, and I think all of this is a part of his scheme, perhaps he’s trying to overthrown Lucifer.

If they were to do a Darksiders MMO, that sounds like probably the best setting for it, for sure!

Literally if you played the first game and read the comic (which is really short you can find it online )that's all you can get out of him.

I don't think anybody can answer that. Beyond what type of body modifications they are. Scarification for anyone curious, but I would NOT recommend doing it. It's like trying to interpret the various cuss words Death says in dead languages, you'll be stuck for a long time trying to decipher that.

Same goes for the language of the Nephilim, we sadly don't know what those runes mean. And we likely never will unless the devs say otherwise.

A symbol of their "nature", perhaps?

@@ridnur8982 sounds cool, im thinking, what War and Furys markings are hidden underneath their pauldrons?

War's scarification is on his face, we already know that. With Strife and Fury there's no telling where their's are. Death's is the only one who has visible scarification on his shoulders. War's own isn't that prominent unless his hood is up, and somehow is capable of glowing. Perhaps this symbolizes for War that his rage is just below the cracks and waiting to be unleashed any moment. Beyond that I cannot say whatelse it may represent in their race. To War himself, it may just be a symbol he's proud of. He just may no longer attribute it to their people anymore, preferring not to acknowledge them if he can. For Death, his doesn't do anything. It's far more prominent and it looks like it was a VERY painful procedure. So chances are that it symbolizes his inner strength(maybe he always handled pain well), and who he was in Nephilim society by name and status given how deep and massive the scar is. And because Absalom's own scarification is very similar. And if Death could always heal crazy fast, then what did they use to scar him? I could even see Absalom having encouraged Death to get this procedure done. Perhaps another sign that Absalom's influence ultimately made him who he is now(yet another way in which Absalom was a toxic figure in Death's life). Death is a leader, but isn't he what Absalom would've wanted in a leader for their people? Strong, calculating, powerful, dangerous? Absalom in my belief, was grooming Death for leadership should the worst come to pass. The scars he bares now, are forever a symbol of his burden. The burden of his sins, his race's sins, and the leadership his brother passed down to him, all upon his shoulders. It's as the saying goes, when people say they carry the weight of their burdens on their shoulders. For Death, he has a literal representation of that. What if Fury and Strife don't have marks to see anymore? Having them healed over after their races fall to forget them all the faster. Strife in particular may never have had a scar period. He doesn't like conforming to the ideas of others. I get the feeling he'd never have agreed to such a procedure. Fury definitely would've at any chance she may have been given, she's got a habit of proving herself. And maybe she just concealed it because of what it now represents to her. Something she regrets, something done on her impulse, something she wishes to forget about. And she clearly did forget to an extent, given how much her impulsive nature consumes her throughout her game.

That's what happens. By the time Death throws himself in the Well of Souls War has slain the destroyer and eventually the 7th seal has been broken by Uriel reviving both War and Death and calling the horseman to arms.

Late as hell but that's no contest. Death casually tanks weapons that destroy planets. He's so far above Kratos when it comes to tiering. Even at his weakest, Death kills a Concept that ends other Concepts and is ending all of existence. That's so much above killing a few Gods. Death would rip through him in a nanosecond.

@@TheStraightestWhitest And I don't disagree with you on that one

Ok I always dream of that tell him to put the four in to mk11 please in the second kombat Pack

How do guys replied to him in tweeter

Also please.respond

If death joins mk11 idk who to support scorpion or death

@@sadsworth4605 death let the ninja rest

Or in the final battle you can fight with all 4 of them by switching between them

jelenneth He is one of the oldest though.

@@bryguy1502 Oh yeah, I know that. I just meant there's no evidence that Death was the very next one after Absalom. (not that I know of anyway)

It may explain how he does seem to have had somekind of past experience with her in some manner; she may have oversaw the immediate generation spawned from Abby. It would explain why he gets clearly agitated when she calls herself his mother, I definitely see a story how the demon may have tried to convince the first Nephs of this so they may follow her or Hell at large.

jelenneth Is say it’s pretty likely, given how close the two were before Death became a Rider.

@@bryguy1502 Yep! :) That's precisely what gave me the idea

We look forward to it! We will be holding off until after Darksiders Genesis though.

Deadpool is an immortal superhuman though. Death is a god, stronger actually. It'd be amusing for the five seconds it would last, then Deadpool would be in pieces. Alive but in so many shards even he would take some time recovering.

DP "Oh, oh! that was HOT! OH that was SO hot! I especially loved the little dead things you pulled out of your ass. How about you take of that mask of yours and show me your real face huh?" Death: "how about I take off your mouth instead?" DP: "oh no, that would be a bad idea, it would ruin the whole movie if I couldn't talk." Death: "bringing things to ruin is what I do best." DP: "oh... okay then."

We appreciate it, :) And we did do one on the Phantom Horses in this assorted Lore video. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9t-aJWhnNmRgYE.html

It was said by the Dev, that time between Death resurrection and his sacrifice isn't specified, yet considering all clues we can find through game, it's very likely that the time you mentioned could be very probably, as i would said about 10 years before DS1. Yet as i mentioned, exact time was not specified

Yeah, I think the end of Darksiders 2 is close to the end of Darksiders 1 as well. By the end of Darksiders 1 humanity is still wiped out after Death supposedly resurrects them. And the Seventh Seal resurrects Death, so the ending of Darksiders 2 is definitely before the ending of Darksiders 1. I assume they are close together because the resurrection of 7+ billion humans likely takes A LOT of time. Then again maybe they weren't resurrected on Earth, maybe they were given another world.

"My brother War... I would save him above all else." -Death

@@ReignSupreme2014 HE IS INNOCENT!!

the item description specifically states that it is War's pauldron pulsing with the power of War and Ruin. :)

@@TrueMastersandMorons Ahh sorry, been a while since I played Darksiders 2 but thought there might be some less straight forward lore. Thanks

We actually did one on Fury already, here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8yed5qVp9jVpqc.html But we're gonna hold off on War (and of course Strife) until after Genesis.

Dev's have confirmed that there is a bit of time between the end of DS2 and the end of DS1, so all indications, especially considering the ending dialogue from DS2, are that Death died. On a brighter side, Dev's have also confirmed that the horses will be revived with their Nephilim, woot! Rampage lives!

Death... no competition, but I am interested in hearing why you think she could 🤔

i also wanna learn about fury if you think she wins. for me its always death

We have this video here on the history of the world of Sanctuary and in it we discuss the nephalem and their origins. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9l0ppV_rODbp3U.html

@@TrueMastersandMorons oh. Thanks

I mean he's death so of course he's a necromancer

Devs confirmed it.

@@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger that is the best darksiders news ever. A horsemen is not a horsemen without a horse

And the fact when they tamed their horse they bonded a piece of themselves to the horses.

When the horsemen ride in the apocalyps they will be let loose to do as they please. At least that's how we understood it. In theory that seemed to be the idea. But in practice... well Obviously not going down that way. :P

@@TrueMastersandMorons that would make a sick game but i like the idea of them hunting down the council as a group and then maybe taking the fight to God and Lucifer, just for the sake of a fight. But they seemed to actually believe in balance, not just faking it for the council's power, so maybe they'll take on all sides then rule as a new council, one for true balance

So Death is the oldest horsemen no questions asked Heck he's so old that the fact that there is a vault full of WMD's is information that only he has (The grand abominations). Death is one of the first born Nephilim with him and Absolom being "of the first born" he also holds the title of Strongest of the Four Horsemen. Fury and Strife have not been canonically aged but we know they are in the middle. Fury being the strongest among them when it comes to magical potential and Strife being their ranged (and based on genesis stealth) master. And finally the youngest of the Four War with his sword that absorbs rage and chaos and who had to have his arm cut off by the other three of the four horsemen. Some of the details for the grand abominations canonicity are questionable, but Deaths age and Power are not. :)

what??? Absalon was the first and then the death. it was literally stated in-game that he was the eldest among the four.

@@conandoobrien8605 proof! which game?

@@bendovahkiin8405 Darksiders 2. for fun only I think you should play it again as I also played it again, it was fun

@@conandoobrien8605 I am actually i took a break next is kingdom of the dead but i can't remember any cutscene that specifically metions this

If things go well that is supposedly the plan for the "final" game, after Strife gets his own standalone game.

1. Genesis 2. The prologue of darksiders 1 3. Darksiders 3 4. Darksiders 2 is either entirely before 1 or overlaps near the end

I'm not saying this is official explanation, but i would say that even during Darksiders 2, Death knew about the Well of Souls, he just didn't know, that it was located inside the Tree of Life/Death. As even War know about the Well, so Death certainly would know as well

@@Xuerios except in the game Death thinks that the Tree of Life does what the Well does. Why would he think that if he knew the Well of Souls exists?

@@alctraz_s299 If I remember correctly, he thinks that the Tree of Life can resurrect humanity, cuz Crowfather said that to him. He still might have known about Well of Souls, but he didn't know, that the Well has such power, not the Tree itself. From what i recall he was surprised to hear about the Tree of Life, yet not about the Well

@@Xuerios You know your lore my friend.

@@TheStraightestWhitest Thanks man, yeah I love this franchise and I'm very interested in it. I've finished every games many times and i love to theorethize about many things so I'm trying to share as much as I can

Now that my rant is over, if anybody wants some fanmade stuff for Death in particular, check out my channel. This account I'm using right now is that very channel btw. I have a video of a poem I created based on Death's character a few months ago. It's a bit headcanony, but I thought I did well. Hopefully you guys do too, and also, do excuse my very young sounding voice. I cannot control that sadly.

We agree that there's no huge reason (so far) to decanonize the book (because it's awesome). That being said, from a business perspective it makes sense, it just makes it easier for them to make more stuff later without worrying about contradicting something from the book. (Though that little "things could have changed" note at the beginning of the book kind of covers them already in our opinion.)

preach it!

Also, all of the babies have eaten! The little Enchi ate their noms!

Course two of them, the Normals, got sold at the last show since we felt they were fat enough to be ok with whoever bought them. The other two will need to fatten up some more before we sell them. And again I'm keeping the Banana with the small eyes. Lastly, Dad got Elvis(our Kingpin morph) a new girlfriend. She's a Butter morph and my sister in her infinite wisdom helped pick the perfect name for her. Princess Buttercup. A fitting name, not just because she's a Butter, but because she's gonna live like the Princess she is now. The guy who sold her said he got her from a bad home. She had really bad scale rot on her belly, but he managed to fix her up. She's perfectly fine now, just has some permanent scars on her belly from that time. She'll still be able to breed when the time comes at least.

lol, well hope it worked this time :p

@@TrueMastersandMorons yeah, I hope. Freakin drunk KZfaq
