Across Both Galactic Wars, the Enemies of Super Earth in Helldivers 2 Have Become What They Were Desperately Trying to Avoid

Helldivers 2 features a surprisingly intricate lore behind its cast and the overall game world. In recent months, the political views of Super Earth and its defenders have been of particular focus, which can be attributed to some sort of propaganda.

Super Earth loves its propaganda, and it has routinely used (and abused) it to shift the opinion of the masses in its favor. Ironically, it would appear that due to their recent aggressions Super Earth has managed to turn fiction into reality – with regard to its sworn enemies.

Long-time players of Helldivers 2 may be familiar with bits and pieces of the game’s overall lore and would agree that Super Earth is the bad guy in the story. In short, Super Earth is responsible for the first galactic war, spreading propaganda so vile against other factions that it resulted in a war.

Each faction was forced into a war they were never interested in, and each ‘claim’ made by Super Earth is actually a representation of their real sins. Helldivers has always been satirical in nature, and these themes reflect very well in the game world.

The Cyborgs gave up their humanity to survive and became the very bloodthirsty machines Super Earth made them out to be. Similarly, the Terminids used to be peaceful once – until they were harvested for e-710, wherein they jumped in to defend themselves. The Illuminate were ready to peacefully settle with Super Earth, but they were relentlessly attacked until they decided to resort to violence.

All of this is Super Earth’s own doing, and they are themselves to blame for their current deplorable situation. After all, they are in the midst of a second galactic war which they likely have little chance of winning.

Even its citizens might begin to revolt and stop enlisting in the war – given how high the casualty rate is.

The entire situation screams irony, and Super Earth has made its own enemies and dug its own grave. In fact, Helldivers 2 might be heading toward a critical development point in its ‘story’ which could have some interesting results.

By the end of the first galactic war and the events of Helldivers 1, Earth seemed to have won the war, ushering in peace and prosperity for a while. This was not meant to last forever though, and a century later, old foes came back from the grave to haunt them again.

Helldivers 2 begins with a second conflict, with the now bloodthirsty factions out for revenge, and thus the second intergalactic war begins. Despite an initially strong start, Super Earth seems to be on the back pedal – making very few victories with millions of casualties.

To make matters worse, all invasions happened simultaneously, and its people have grown tired of the war. Things are reaching a breaking point, and Super Earth may face an immediate crisis on their hands, which to be honest is not something they can manage to walk out of this time.
