Destiny 2 "New Legends Will Rise" (2017) 2:00 (USA)

Nathan Fillion fills us in on the new Destiny in a way that is trying hard not to seem complicated. The Earth is gone. Everything we know abotu the Earth is gone. Which is weird, since Destiny is a video game that takes place primarily on a social space that isn't on Earth, but once you start talking about story lines you sound like you have twelve-sided die, so I guess they're trying to make it more mainstream by mentioning familiar thing like binge watching and taco Tuesday or something. I don't know. All I know is Nathan Fillion will tap into that all important core-gamer demographic which needs to keep this game alive. And they won't really care what the plot line which is good because the plot line is some alien has attacked you and destroyed Earth and now you need to take revenge and kill said alien and their army. And of course the alien has a name that sounds like a nerd named it. Lord Ghaul and his army called the Red Legion.
After the montage of stuff blowing up, we continue on in the same vein as all other Destiny commercials before it: with a expected blend of bro-humor and Guardians of The Galaxy, directed by a Hollywood Director, in this case Jordan Vogt-Roberts who directed, Funny or Die videos and Kong: Skull Island. The only difference besides the first half is that they swapped out Led Zeppelin for The Beastie Boys as the soundtrack this time. Whatever. It could be Destiny 2 or Destiny 2000 but if you played the game you know what you're in for: grinding for weapons, micro-transactions, grinding to level up and grinding with friends because grind grind grind. Supposedly Destiny is here to stay for ten years or so. I can't imagine seeing more of these same spots every other year.
