Borderlands, plot hole, the story is messed up? (possible spoilers)

[RFC ✅]

Remember back in the old days, when you killed the Destroyer in Borderlands 1? Yep, you don't kill the destroyer nowadays, because the ending was changed in BL1 remaster, just to complain with the ending of BL3.

And how this affect the story? Well..

"In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, it is revealed that Jack obtained the Destroyer's eye after its death and used it to create a superweapon for the under-construction Helios Moonbase. Dubbed "The Eye of Helios", it was capable of destroying entire settlements and nearly led to the destruction of Pandora's moon Elpis when Colonel Zarpedon of Dahl's renegade Lost Legion stole control of Helios" [https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/The_Destroyer](Source)

How this is going to happen if the Destroyer still alive? And if we consider that this have a huge impact on Pre-Sequel itself, then, it will have a huge impact on BL2 as well, since the events of the game *could* be different.

Why they did it? It created a huge plot hole in the series IMHO.

What do you guys think about?

EDIT: This post ISN'T about Borderlands 3! Is about Borderlands in general, about the plot of the entire franchise!

That's sad, they're ruining this game.

SPOILER ALERT. The destroyer is the final boss in borderlands 3 as its the monster in great vault and plays a significant role in the story. It's not a plot hole they changed it for story purposes and yes I know this because I've already beat the game. Have fun being spoiled oh also Maya dies.

It's not a plot hole since they address it directly in the third game.

At least as far as im concerned it all makes since as of now.

How do they address it? How do they explain the story being changed?
Unless they introduce time travel or some ♥♥♥♥ (Which would be lame) it will not make sense.
This is a plot hole whether you like it or not.

[Reborn]

They address it by simply having the characters believe the reworked ending is the actual ending. I don't see where your confusion comes in all they did was retcon and change something movies and games do it all the time and I don't understand why you're getting so worked up.

[Killzone]

Such a complex plot needed retconned? /s

Is there any aspect of BL3 that isnt a result of a lazy poorly executed cash grab?

I'm not suggesting movies or games do not do this. I'm saying you are wrong for stating that this is NOT a plothole.

This is a plothole at its finest.

What does pointing out the inconsistencies of the game have to do with review bombing? Wtf

Because they don't kill the destroyer or at least remove it's eye, Jack never got it to make the laser. It's a small inconsistency created by a needless/lazy retcon. But you know how some people can get with even minor plot holes.

So Borderlands 3 will never be on Steam because people that likes good stories cannot point those inconsistencies? Well, maybe I know why they target EGS: because Fortnite kids skips cutscenes?
