Replace the coward Zavala #NotMyTitanVanguard
This isn’t a complaint about Bungie’s character development decisions. I’ve been loving this expansion. No, this is one Titan’s disappointment in his Vanguard leader.
WARNING: SPOILERS. SPOILERS. SPOILERS.
Don’t read further if you haven’t finished the Forsaken Campaign.
I just got the biggest scolding from Commander “Papa Smurf” Zavala for, of all things, putting a bullet in the guy who killed a member of HIS fire team.
You would think Zavala would have been a little more proud but Noooo. He immediately starts in on me with some “blah blah, the city needs ya Guardian.” “Blah Blah think of the big picture”
And then he has the balls to tell me that if circumstances were different he’d have put a bullet in Uldren himself.
Oh, okay tough guy. Reeeal easy to say that after the fact. I bet you just stood by that railing in the tower the whole time I was out there SINGLE HANDEDLY hunting down all the Barons.
Then this blue piece of mediocrity has the gall to tell me that “My consequences will have actions” and who knows what scary things might happen because I made Uldren take a dirt nap.
You wanna talk about consequences big blue? Inaction has its consequences too. Because I guaranfrickentee that if we had sent every Hunter, Titan, and Warlock from the get go like Ikora wanted to do Uldren wouldn’t have had enough time to reload the Ace of Spades let alone release a Hentai monster from some freaky other realm.
It’s time for a Titan Vanguard who isn’t a coward. I’m calling you out Zavala, meet me in the crucible bitch.
EDIT: For everyone saying “We couldn’t leave the city undefended” I’ve got some news for you. It’s stated in the grimoire by Mara Sov that there are several million guardians. I think Zavala could have spared a -blam!-ing strike team or two to go stomp on Uldren.
Dude could have sent 10,000 guardians to the reef and not lost any combat readiness when you consider how many guardians just dick around and don’t do field work.

I hate that people fail to understand that only a handful or so of the Guardians in existence are actually badasses, and most of them tend to wander off to do their own thing rather than help The Last City. Osiris -blam!-ed off to fight the Vex. The Drifter -blam!-ed off to get drunk on the Darkness. Shaxx cares more about the Crucible than actually fighting any of the bad guys. Saint-14 got stuck in a time paradox because of Osiris, and Even Cayde was only in the tower because of Andal. The Tower was pretty -blam!-ed in D1 before we came along. Age of Triumph would not have been a thing if it weren't for the actions of our character specifically. We are the God Slayer not other guardians. How else can you explain 9 guardians entering a hive pit and being turned into gems, but we can solo Gaul and turn Oryx into space dust with a party of 6. Hell Oryx's Son killed THOUSANDS of guardians including 4 of the best, not including Toland or Eris. Why do you think Dead Orbit or any of the other outside settlements exist if people didn't think shit was -blam!-ed and Guardians are invincible? Also, once a Guardian and their Ghost are dead they don't get replaced. They are finite resources unless the Traveler starts making more Ghosts. That's why Asher's experiment on Io was so important. After the Red War which was a pyrrhic victory at best. The Counsel is in no shape to be sending out their best method of defense. It has only been a year. You don't recover from a war that fast. That's why Zaval won't send an army in response. He wants to and even admits to feeling like a coward when he goads Ikora into calling him one over Cayde's body. However, he knows that doing so is irresponsible. Now that the Traveler is awake he is aware that whatever was chasing it is going to come for it. Humanity barely survived the last time that happened and they were way better equipped to handle it back then. He literally says exactly that in the opening of Warmind. Their is a massive difference between doing what you want and what you need to do in order to exist. Zaval understands that. "Survival is a temporary condition", if that applies to the enemy it applies to the city as well. Also, now that Uldren decimated the Awoken their is no barrier between the outer solar system and beyond. The Traveler and The Last City are wide -blam!-ing open.
