What if Johnny's not dead.


Recommended Posts

American Viking

Hear me out on this one. I'm not some Johnny K. "fanboy" that can't wrap my head around the fact that he's dead...I'm merely proposing the idea that maybe he isn't dead. I figured what could have happened is either A) Johnny survived the attack but with severe trauma (which would make him useless in future games anyway) or B) the whole event happened in Trevor's mind thus not really happening. I form the latter theory based off the fact that Trevor is mentally unstable and has a drug problem that would put any 80's rock star to shame. I also believe the "rampage" missions are in his head too but that's another story.

So what do you think? Even if he's legitimately gone Rockstar could always exploit the story a bit to bring him back if they wanted.

The Chicken Man

If it is all in his head then isn't it also in Ron's, Wade's and Ashley's heads, too? And The Lost's heads who were watching over his casket in Stab City? And the bleeter reports that he died and the bleeter and news reports of the Stab City bombing must all be in everyone's heads, too?

 

A shared psychosis like that is practically unheard of.

It's not as if Trevor woke up in a drunken haze with blood on his shirt and wondered if he only imagined stomping Johnny's brains in, then killing dozens of Lost, then bombing their camp! No, he did all these things out in the open.

Drunken Cowboy

Phil Cassidy blew off his left arm and regrew it in GTA III, only to have his right arm cruelly get lost as well.

 

Based on the continuity errors Rockstar is so prone to, I think they could bring him back with like a head bandage or something if they cared enough, but Rockstar has thrown the IV demographic, especially the TLaD portion under the bus with GTA V.

 

It's possible him, Terry, and Clay could come back but Rockstar and all the 12 year olds that are the majority of the fan base wouldn't care now.

Prequel with Trevor starting up TPI and Franklin in the hood would allow for some Johnny involvement. We can see him go from badass to weakling and how T and JK went from good terms to bad.

Good points but it's all perception and we play as Trevor during all of these events. For all we know, many of the events in the game...at least from Trevor's POV could be the result of drug induced hallucinations. I'm just throwing it out there.

Hopefully, if the rumored Trevor DLC is true, we can see some of this.

Johnny's death could be a hallucination just like the "Trevor meeting his mom hallucination" theory and that the rampages are hallucinations too, but I highly doubt that Trevor killing Johnny was a hallucination because it has consequences unlike the rampages were everything goes to normal after the rampage.

I really can't see how it could work if it was just a hallucination. As mentioned before, if it was in Trevor's mind how do Ashley, Ron, Wade, and the rest of the lost know that it happened? Johnny's death(among other things) also affects the game later(when the Lost in Stab City are wiped out and a new chapter replaces them) and even in free roam(any Lost member enountered by Trevor attacks him on sight).

If it really wanted to be played off as Trevor's hallucination then the whole game would have to be a hallucination of his. Or maybe Johnny actually kicked Trevor's ass and put him in a coma and the events of GTA V are all just Trevor's coma dream.

Johnny's dead.

Hopefully the Trevor DLC will have him in it. If it's a Prequel.

 

I've always thought IF the zombie DLC story is true, that Trevor will face off against dead zombie bikers led by Johnny himself.

Brony in Black

He looked like he got stomped on by a bull (no exaggeration, I've seen that happen), so if he were to survive, he'd be severely handicapped.

But he's dead, for the reasons everyone above has mentioned. It's a sh*tty excuse for closure to have him die without putting up a fight, but it happened.

 

...unless he pulled a Michael and faked his death. :p

Nah nah nah Gta 6

I have 2 100% working solutions for fixing Johnny's death.

 

METHOD 1:

1. Play GTA V untill you reach the mission "Mr.Philips"

2. Watch the cutscence, as soon as Trevor grabs Johnny, quickly turn off your console, be quick, one stomp to the head and this won't work

3. Take this disc out of the console

4. Write a sh*tty rant on why Trevor killed Johnny

5. Put in Episodes from Liberty City in your console

6. This is the hard part, when the game loads, you MUST choose "The lost and Damned", choosing "The Ballad of Gay Tony" will make your console blow up.

7. The game will load, if it doesn't, then there's something wrong with the disc

8. Johnny will be alive and you can explore all of Liberty City!

 

 

METHOD 2:

1. Play as him through modding

Johnny is dead, as shocking it was to me at first.

 

this isnt the case of Miguel, where it seemed that Toni killed him. R* wont make GTA (or any of their games) into soup opera with sudden returns etc.

 

to be honest, probably all GTA protagonists die in similar foolish ways - its just we finally saw another one, but now we cared (nobody knew who Vic Vance is and didnt care til 4 years later)

I think Johnny is dead since it has also being mentioned by Melvin but i like your point about the rampages being only Trevor`s imagination. The fact that there`s no cops is really weird.

The rampages and the mission "mrS Phillips" (Trevor`s mom) are somehow weird and i don`t exclude the option of this being all in Trevor`s head.

He's dead. The only way he would ever come back is if there's a zombie DLC, you'll kill him again probably. Although you could fail whatever mission may involve them over and over (I'm guessing Trevor goes to stab city, then oh no! Biker zombies) just let Johnny bite Trevor. It won't change anything but it may reduce feelings of sadness and bitterness.

The way I see it, Trevor is such a demented character that alot of things would need to be his hallucinations for them to properly fit the GTA vibe. Trevor would've fit perfect in the 3D universe but in the HD universe they've really tried to get more serious and realistic with the series so far.

I'm not sad...maybe a bit bitter with how R* went about it. The man deserved a final shootout, a fistfight, something but they chose to pull an Old Yeller with em. I hope they hear the backlash from fans and don't repeat that.

Very interesting speculation. The game allows you to execute him via headshot, red x, etc. after the cutscene. Also, the game allows you to leave Terry and Clay alive by letting them run after the battle to retreat, assuming you or your backup hasn't shot then already. Then 2 unnamed bikers come and smash up Trevor's safe house? Them dying is not forced cannon, which leads to some speculation. As for me, I am not personally all that intrigued, because they completely reiterated the Lost's aspirations, beliefs, values, and so on, I don't see how they can just explain that away/pick up where they left off. It makes no sense to me what they were thinking at the time. They been reading into the shroom brain regeneration theory to much with mice to make a good story. #rstarneedstogetittogether

Also, you might be right, Trevor's mom is what everyone was speculating about as a hallucination, it's not uncommon in a severely traumatized adult with every possible drug addiction and life addiction/self harm method you can possibly try making him borderline senile... I believe you.

The gum/brain thing is in trevors truck straight away tho, but would be crazy having johnny come back but with half a scarred face and an eyepatch lol would be bad ass, im game for biker zombies, but i think a prequel would be best with trev n the lost then frank in the hood, only problem is where would you put mike? What would he be upto?
