And made a good Star Wars show
yes
I know but they can overlap
next question
Why am I being put on blast for this smh
I can imagine a tech priest changing their gender

No I refuse 2 believe
Search your feelings
In the substrate, straight up foliating it, and by it, haha, let's just say, my kalkite
you know it to be true
KALKITE
(Actually I liked the last Jedi don’t kill me)
Its george lucas's favorite of the sequel trilogy
lol
Tbf depending on what regiment they're in. They probably are used to seeing shit like Darth Vader fucking choking people to death
also apparently kalkite is a thing IRL, just named calcite lol
Yeah
also does the same laser reflector cover thing iirc
salsite....
kalkite is def calcite in space
The Last Jedi I think is the "best" purely because it tried to explore new ideas.
The execution is mixed though
Totally
But sometimes it really hits
It does. Character writing is definitely messy.
Poor Finn got shafted. He was basically my favorite character
Oh yeah that was bad
Also the actor for Kylo Ren put his all into the performance
I actually liked it
There's a reason why "MORE!!!" Is a meme
Poe is still my fav glup shitto
Adam Driver is goated
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a story-driven sci-fi Action RPG. You play as a Pinkwater Security mercenary whose brief shore leave on the asteroid Eros spirals out of control. Trapped in a deadly lockdown and drawn into a solar system-wide conspiracy far beyond your control, you’ll have to adapt, survive, taking command of the most advanced sh...
Owlcat peak
He’s so good in Girls too haha
Adam Driver in Blacklansman

Generally I think that people disliked Kylo because they expected another Vader.
And I don't think that's fair.
I think he's good as his own thing. What's essentially a wannabe.
My first impression was that Finn was going to become a Jedi. Be kinda interesting
Dont mean much to me.

Definitely not but I feel like at the time especially when the first and second sequel movie came out. They fully expected him to be that.
And save your bros life
Yooo Protomolecule!!!!
oh also the crossguard lightsaber is cool
And give bro your jacket
I don't care if its a stupid idea
Crackling lightsaber goes so hard
it looks cool as fuck
And the welded back helmet
there's more idiotic lightsabers
Like the whip?
like the fucking whip
yes
LOL
its like a blade whip
but even more fucking dangerous
because you can't grab it
I FUCKING LOVE KINTSUGI
Honestly I think it would've been interesting if he was like Grevious.
No force but still skilled in saber and blaster.
Dark trooper designs are peak cuz of that
That's what the setup was
Bro was holding the saber in the poster
star wars is an Aura based setting
Then 3 different people made each movie
And they all had different ideas for finn
And they all ended up fucking him over
Smh smh
At least he got treated better than rose
God I feel so bad for rose's actor
Would have been funny if they did that with Kylo, like dude's just trained super hard in the lightsaber and turned evil because he's fuckass mad about being the only Skywalker without Force powers
Imagine getting a role in star wars, but only cuz you reminded JJ of his high school crush, and the role sucks, and you just barely even show up in the last movie, and fans hate you
LOL
this applies to literally every character in that trilogy
tbh
He becomes a politician like his mother
Nah no one is bullying Oscar Isaac for poe
Poe was peak
Rey got the long end of the stick too
Like a very long end
Hispanic actor
backstory is he smuggled drugs
what did disney mean by this
Every other person in the galaxy was a smuggler at this point really
yeah
Finn could have had such an interesting evolution, Rey too
Wait what’s my other get myself killed take
Oh I liked Holdo
she's a fine character
she doesn't really like do much
not sure why people hate her
Pretty woke if you ask me 😔
I thought a senior officer’s having to withhold information is perfectly realistic
The only black guy in the movie
Steals a tie fighter
What did they mean by this
Holdo came out of left field for me, I was still hoping for Ackbar
I've never seen that one before actually
💀
Rose's sister, an Asian character, blows up whole destroying a star destroyer with a bomber
What did they mean by this
Oh also do you guys think K-2SO has fond memories of the ghorman massacare

genuine question
He does remember everything
Laura Dern >>>>>>>>> some lobster
Kamikaze pilot: “pay attention I’m only gonna do this once…”
with the whole reveal reprogramming a droid isn't reprogramming them
its like
They steal the tie
Impulse control
Yeah I made it up just now
Lmao
You like it?
yeah you mess with how the droid brain contextualizes memories
its on the same level of the other
what did they mean by this
joke so yes I think its fine
Y’all seen the edit of the tie fighter escape but Adam Driver shows up and he’s playing his character from BlacKKKlansmen?
whos Laura Dern
Yeah that was the idea lol I don't genuinely think so
from BlacKKKlansman
yeah I know
Tf woman
🤨
it has very strong language in it
It's a good movie
She’s a good actress!!
No idea who she is.
I first saw it from a friend and it was an unnamed file. So I gave myself a solid 6 minute ab workout after seeing it
Everyone in the sequels is a good actor
all I remember is its a bunch of racist insults into the Nword
as Driver is shooting at the car
lol
Just held back by shitty writing
My biggest get killed take is I really really liked jaded af Luke
tbf
Lucas also wanted that
with Luke for his uh
original sequal trilogy
donut steel
They really deserved better
Didn't he say he wouldn't make one
SACRED JEDI TEXTS
Really? I thought it was ok.
There was a very good deleted scene honestly
looks at Space titty milk
Yea
Also his last stand where he’s not really there is somehow perfect for light side force
A Maul Clone
Honestly maybe they should've done that. Having someone be so deadly through pure skill that they can brute force... the force (lmao)
and also that Twi'lek sith character that all I see for them content wise is horny fanart
I also also especially liked Rey’s actually being a nobody
I thought that was funny. That’s like the ultimate “get baited” prank an Uncle gives to his Nephew
Star Wars The Last Jedi

Order quicky your favorite version!!!
Congrats to everyone who worked on this ...
and those 2 were going to be the main villains
Excuse me
shes Ray Palpatina
Pretty good
Sigh
Her parents are from palps lmao
She “Rey Shut the fuck up”
YES RAY
Not a nobody
Palpatine going around impregnating women with the force
Grandma*
same thing
He had to do it before Windu gave him a dose of electro therapy and didn’t look like he had a scrotum for a face
This is George Lucas's original cook for the sequals
https://medium.com/@Oozer3993/george-lucas-episode-vii-c272563cc3ba
its like
Ya sue me I’m a raving antiwoke lunatic but I loved the last Jedi
Probably because she was considered annoying.
Also that one ship crash scene that breaks some inner lore logic.
Interesting
Very
you can logically make it so that due to hyperspace tracking its partially in hyperspace
Salt planet
problem fucking solved

I'm so good at this writing shit
There really is a planet for everything
Yeah it's not that. It's more "Why the fuck don't they use this all the time?"
Salt flat aesthetic
Give me a Jello planet Lucasfilms and we’re set
The speeders leaving that red trail
it only works if they're in hyperspace

Problem fucking solved
Torment nexus for resistance
lol
up until the final point
then it becomes a torment nexus for First Order
…… that’s actually pretty good
My personal headcanon is just that Hyperspace drives that can do that type of damage are too expensive
They get demolished till there then just hold the corner and win
There
It sucks
I don't play galactic assault anymore
then they put the first order in a torment nexus

I'm being oppressed
Most annoying thing about the Sequels is I walked out of Force Awakens and said to my friends "Rey's a Palpatine" and everyone laughed at me, then they fucked the reveal so badly that I didn't even want to say "I told you so"
There is only ONE unit I fear in Battlefront 2. And it’s a guy who knows how to use the Droideka
In general, Last Jedi had some decent ideas, but the execution overall was "eh".
That must be so miserable
being correct but the reveal sucks so much
Pls post here if the
I would've screamed in the Movie Theater
Kotor reveal
Gosh I thought a lot of the acting and the individual situations were pretty great
"Somehow larmoth was right"
the sequal trilogy is so pretty
I did like the holdo maneuver
This “blade has done terrible things”-Rey as she once held the Anti Child Support 3000.
Sadly that's all it has going for it
The problem is that it just didn't connect them well.
A lot also got cut that would've made the movie vetter
The designs are amazing
The youngling slayer 9000
I have yet to see the third one I have to admit
oh also
And that blade
Except that one bomber
I just… can’t
Ew
It also had my glorious 7 feet tall chrome queen
why didn't they give rey a dual sided lightsaber
It looks so bad
genuine question
Don't
like
It's
she has the staff
Not worth it
Phasma glazing will never stop
in the first movie
Meant to be in that exact location to see a chunk of Death Star II laying there
it feels weird
Cuz has to have Anakin's
I can imagine it ended w last Jedi
Give her Maul's lightsabers 
thats dualbladed like her staff
That's what the coordinates on the dagger were for
Honestly if she used the double lightsabers similar to Maul. That would've been a unique highlight for her character
I'm not a real gluphead anyways
it fucking sucks cause I would've loved Rey to get a dual bladded yellow lightsaber
it would've been peak
I only know mild glup shitto stuff
Sith Rey does, in the dream, for 2 seconds
I LOVE GLUP SHITTO UOOGGHH
And it folds
YEAH. And I’m a bit bias because I like double edged lightsabers

Pong Krell reference
...WHY NOT MAKE THET HER WEAPON
AAAA
oh no not more of that stupid clown lizard darth maul
because they had no fucking plan
lol
THEY WROTE THAT SHIT AS THEY WENT

I KNOW BUT STILLLLL
Boolio
THAT'S AWESOMEEE
JUST MAKE IT BLUE OR SOMETHING
IT WOULD EVEN FIT THE PALPATINE REVEAL.
grrrggghh I still hate that chin nutsack looking mofo for how he played the 501st and 212th against one another
SYMBOLISM FOR "HAVING SITH BLOOD =/ EVIL"
OR SOMETHING IDK
bro had aura
Oh I also liked how in last Jedi the shady scoundrel guy turned out not to have a heart of gold lmao
the poor youngling who gets a kyber crystal and it’s the color brown
like this is a cool design
Rey with on of these would've been awesome
Why it have a point
Pong had a unique fighting style and it was actually cool
He was a cool villain
Costed a lot of good men
he has the folding lightsaber
which is cool
I think he's the first time they've shown a folding lightsaber?
Ya know the worst thing about this? There was a plan. JJ set up an outline for how the trilogy was gonna go, then Rian took the outline, used it as toilet paper, and killed JJ's main antag in the second movie, forcing JJ to revert to lizard brain panic mode and engage all out Legends nostalgia bait for Rise of Skywalker
Dumpster fire trilogy from beginning to end
not chronologically
I am going to be controversial here.
I don't think the thin lightsabers in the Rebels cartoon was actually bad.
That makes it even fucking worse
that there was a plan
and Rian set it on fire
and used it as a molotov
Never seen other instances except in Rebels where Kanan has a vision of the temple guards
I think the idea could still work if it was like rapier styled
it shows up in the comic stuff
It's a stylistic choice
for the new like era
So who cares basically
Yeah IK
It took some time getting used to
Honestly I just think like a Rapier type Lightsaber would've been cool
Ah high republic. The only era where a navigator is a literal fucking rock
It's even worse when you consider a lot of the pre sequel world building is kinda actually good
thats fucking peak
maybe I should read it
Is hyper weird
I've heard pretty okay things
with the actual fucking plan
About high republic stuff I mean
it seems g ood
I mean it feels like they will
Are there Laser Flails ?
Probably
All I want is there to be an established New Republic and Imperial Remnants duking it out. And the former not going full France mode
Although this might be a bit of a generic choice. My favorite lightsaber variant is the darksaber
Shame it got destroyed
I'm sorry but the dark blade with glowing white edges and lightning cracks all over it is fucking awesome
Why the fuck does it look like that
lol
like it looks cool
but is there a lore reason
or is it just it just is
I mean it was created by a Mandalorian who was the only one of his people to become a Jedi in history
That that’s about it
It's ancient mandalorian
I tuck my lightsaber
for the aura farming
Kyber crystals are just mood stones
Apparently it grows more powerful the more emotion you put into it.
Yes I see the fit Mandalore
So I think it's probably sith based
oh my god I can put imperial players in Legion in the torment nexus now
So that probably explains why it looks evil
They get access to mandalorian rebels, no mini though
Ohhh
Yet
Prince Zuko would love this with how filled to the brim of emotion he is throughout the whole series
Yeah mando rebels are just mandos
I figure
They're prolly free form enough at base lol
I could use the shatterpoint minis for this
I still love the era of the Neo-Crusaders in Mandalore history
anyways its always funny taking away what makes imperial players happy/j
like their armor
now die to the sniper
This is only post-Rise of Skywalker btw. Hinged double-bladed lightsabers do exist - some Temple Guards have them and Pong Krell used them - but they were never activated while hinged closed. The hinge action is for storage
It also apparently connects to the wearer on a subconscious level. Growing heavier if you deny it, and lighter if you accept it.
Although it is implied that it can turn you insane. But those who likely pursue it, are already a sith anyways so it's a moot point.
neat
Something from Star Wars I loved is this
I feel like this is more of a psychological thing in general lol
Love flying blades
the one from the specialists? or the new ones
with the operative
And pretty sure it's just a thing that lightsabers have
Ye that
You still think Bo Katan deserved to hold it again after all the shit she has pulled? I was still bummed Din Djarin had his beskar spear melted down
Bo Katan by rights should just be dead
It's pretty comical how much of a serial fuck up she is
The Darksaber retcon into needing mojo to wield or else it's too heavy was just plain silly, and you can absolutely tell the decision was only made because of MCU Mjolnir
Mmmm more Mando slop mmmm
Tf lmao
That’s some dumb shit
on one side, Jedi Knight and General
the other
2 super tactical droids
lol
ignore the fact super tactical droids are actually broken as fuck in Legion
Even in a universe with talking teddy bears and that blue elephant
They just suck at fighting
I feel like this would make sense with lightsabers in general though like, they're light as hell but you're terrified of the blade since if you slice a teensy bit wrong you'll chop your arm off
Lightsaber cheese knife
they are like
So your fear of disembowling yourself makes it "heavier"
shitty to control in universe iirc
because people aren't used to the fact
the weight is so light + it just like
Maybe, but due to it being ancient, along with it generally looking... not "good"/friendly. I think it might have kinda adapted those traits to the point of forcing them on the user.
you know, blade of cutting shit
They got hands they’ll be fine
Vibro blades are still a strange concept to me
Kinda like how 40k has relic weapons due to the owners imprinting their actions and such, making them more powerful as a result.
CHILD SOLDIERS RAAAAAAAAAAAH
IIRC a Super Tactical Droid puts Anakin on the ground with a good 'ol one-two in a late-ish Clone Wars episode
I… no I’m not even gonna it’s too easy
I figure the fear of dropping this thing and it cleanly cutting a limb off at best or just partially at worse is a pretty effective way of making sure you don't treat it lightly 
EXACTLY
DEW IT
Just on the tabletop sorry, they have pretty good stats at actually shooting + fighting. They're just not as good as like Clone Commanders or Jedi
like
Ahhh gotcha
But yeah that dude does throw hands
Nooo I cannot fully revert to a 14 year old on here
I do hope they make one of those for clones, I wanna start a legion army eventually
CIS vs Empire is funny
Do my clone regiment
because Empire has
Dew it
Embrace the dark side
Droids ignore
We have cookies
Temuera Morrisonized Bad Batch
Top tier
they have a clone commander mini
Am I still able to field tech
Tell that to the B1-Droids...
Roger roger
“The Polynesian hot springs”
Yes
you can have Clone troopers vs rebels
lol
I honestly can't get enough of seeing animated clones getting drawn as if they were live action. Temuera is just perfect
It took me until I was 19 years old to realize the red dot on the super battle droids was not the eye
I guess if I were to make a situation for no reason.
Recently joined empire clone troopers vs Rebels
you can use this
Wait it isn't
Oh my god it isn't
Nope, they have B1-shaped heads embedded in the top of their torso
Yeah I thought “why does it have a nose” and then I compared it with a B1
No they have normal faces lol
Now I need to know how many people thought the red dot was the eye...
Again, I think my favorite droid design purely out of looks is the Droidekas
are these even out
Clan wren right
I just really like the design
yeah
And the fact that they can roll around
thats what they're labled as
My Battlefront 2 monster under the bed. But I do like the sound their blasters make
They also do genuinely look scary in my opinion
Droidekas are great
I think it's the insectoid eyes
Scary design, scary in lore
I think a close second in terms of combat are Commando Droids as my top battle droids
They would be great if it wasn't for the bases
While we’re on droids, let’s talk about droid racism
Droideka rolls up to yo girl, unfurls and asks her to take a seat, wyd
I love the droid tri-fighters
I also like the IG-88.
Clones: “imma say the C WORD”
Idk if the droid starfighters have actual pilots
B2’s thinking they’re superior to B1’s
Can you build them?
Like 40k minis
Yes
star wars legion is like that
though they have a lot more resin
because they aren't GW
I think my favorite scene of one is in Mandalorian where it fucking spins around shooting any enemies.
okay the naming for the shatterpoint boxes
I hate drones
is funny as shit lol
Droideka’s not being able to speak because they would be racist to B1’s and B2’s
The announcer sucks
Which would distract them
“These things strike fear into a Clanka’s heart”-CT-3118 nicknamed “Ruckus”
Director Krennic is “Deploy the Garrison” I think
thats pretty fucking good
Thought of them making like
Robotic insect noises.
Like a cockroach hiss for example before firing
he should have a prosthetic arm
lol
I think it would be intimidating
Also would fit the design
He comes back just to give us another amazing quote. And what is that….
KALKITE
In general I think I like the Droidekas precisely because they remind me of insects
God the prequels were bad. I think they’ve acquired so many layers of memes people have lost sight of the fact that they were recognized to be total shit at the time
Like a weird mixture of a roly poly and a cockroach.
...with two laser guns
wait oh my fucking god lol
the bad batch squad in legion
can break into 5 dif independent characters
this is the fucking torment nexus for CIS players
Kids liked it at release too though
Bro r u in the torment nexus u keep referencing it
Think the most goofy looking droid the CIS had at their disposal was the Spider droid
Blink twice if the basilisk has u
Think you could run crosshair in the empire?
Crosshair is available on his own in Legion so yeah
Like 7 year olds?
More likely it's the supplementary material that makes people forget.
The Clone Wars show genuinely made me forget that the movies are dogshit lol
Still though yeah the movies are bad. I still generally like them more than the sequels because it's at least new in ideas and concepts.
But not that much more
Doooope
Comics and books are great too ngl
The cycle kinda is like the Terminator films. Right up until Genesis
why is tech in the rebel and GAR, I get Crosshair but why tech
Force ghost
Tech dies in The Bad Batch Show
They BETTER keep it that way
Omega is a 10 point upgrade
I know but like how does that translate into being 3 versions
lol
unless he's literally a ghost
there's 2 versions of the rebel one
My first date w my high school girlfriend was The Phantom Menace and we both just sat there afterward like “…. wat.”
Eventually she was like “I liked the animals.”
hmmm I see now
Genesis... I actually kinda liked?
It's a guilty pleasure. I know it's dogshit but it's a type of dogshit I like.
Also the Asian dude who played the T-1000 was a really good actor, and he was also a huge fan of Terminator.
Okay granted he was the one good portion in that film
Matt smith needs a better agent bro
Genesis and Morbius after being The Doctor
damn
Omega is an objective monkey it seems
her bow is fine
but her whole thing is doing actions/objectives
I genuinely think that if he was in a good Terminator movie. People would've remembered him being as intimidating as Robert Patrick
why are the storm troopers in the old box art aura farming infront of a tie fighter
lol
Probably but I don't think anything could reach Robert Patrick level, bro was a FREAK in that movie
insane actor
Apparently his name is Lee Byung-Hun. Apparently famous in South Korea. Also plays the Front-Man in SQUID GAMES!!!
Tbf that's due to actually having good direction along with good acting.
Lee had to work with being in a dogshit movie. He was the best part, but it lessened his intimidation factor. Especially when he walks into an acid rain like a dumbass
Ah I still remember that took media by storm back in fall 2022 until it got dethroned by Arcane, which I mean, that’s fighting an uphill battle
They know they got that shit on
S2 of Squid games did make it popular again. Although for a shorter time. Heard it's good. Need to watch it
They're the 2nd most elite type of basic infantry
they should be
I need more media that shows them being elite marine like troops
Still kinda wish Disney would stop making them unintimidating most of the time.
They're usually cannon fodder.
I wonder if they're going to put Army troopers
into star wars legion
as like a shittier troop option for The Empire
I could see it
Which I think is weird. Like shouldn't there be Army Troops in Star Wars.
Actually shouldn't they face those more??
They’re putting out a lot more specialized clones
And they just did uh
Range troopers for the empire
There's STLs for imperial army and they look decent
Like genuinely I think having Army Troopers be the cannon fodder while Stormtroopers being intimidating would've salvaged their reputation
Oh dude the digital stuff for legions is amazing
I’m a huge fan of the imperial remnant
Same. Although I am a fan of a lot of weird
"Last moments of an empire" type of thing
I also have a weird fixation with like.
The last moments of the Nazi's.
Idk why
making the imperial players points bank fucking explode
I gotta check smth now
Jokes aside I generally find it interesting. Especially with how desperate the Nazis got near the end.
Search up Last Ditch Axis Weapons
yeah the box art for the game is so great
Krennic my goat
Also the fact that they made some
Stupid ass decisions
Even while they were literally dying
Screaming Mimi
Although tbf if they weren't stupid. Then they wouldn't have started the war.
Or existed
Search up werewolf divisions
Yall think there are any desert trooper stl’s
such a stupid goofy plan
Oh wait. They didn't exist after WW2 ended.
I think they only did like one assassination

likely
Jokes aside I do feel kind of bad for empire players
they get so much scary infantry
and then
Also the Nazi's made throw away flamethrowers.
i could take a werewolf
...
yeah it was a stupid "We'll do an insurgency!" and do nothing
CURSE OF THERMAL DETONATOR
For some reason
like
The occult group within the Nazi party…there are a few things that manage to send chills up my spine. They’re one of em
guh
To go to such lengths
Literally a throw away flamethrower
It was basically a gas can with a flame nozzle
Dangerous but easy to use
anyways another 10000 Credits to my thermal detonator budget
Ahnenerbe are so weird and shit, they were around till 47 funny enough
They would weird out even Hitler lmao
the enemy is unprepared for my secret strategy(more thermal detonators)
I love grenades
Yall seen the new love death and robots
which one
Whole episode about nazi’s summoning a fallen angel
I like the ww2 episode
Also their throwaway weapon for their "Volksstrum" was a piece of shit that was somehow over engineered for being a last ditch weapon AND terrible
Yeeee
I liked the angel’s design and the animation was great
Meet the Volkssturmgewehr.
Meant to be greatly simplified
I like that one. The only other one I liked this season was 400 boys. But the previous season had more content I like. Best episode by far for me is “Bad Traveling”
Only episode I liked
It wasn't
Def my favourite interpretation of a fallen angel
and that thing fucking sucked as well
400 boys was weird but I liked it a ton
Wait is the show bad
no
The visuals look amazing
its hit/mix
I think season 2 is the only one
No, just a weird season
The Red Hot Chili Peppers puppet show was something alright
thats what you get with multiple people all submitting their own episodes
Tbf it still worked well for what mattered AKA shooting and being safe to shoot.
It just looked like a piece of shit
Season 4 is extremely weird
the WW2 episode and the cat/devil episode was great
Ironically enough wasn't actually a piece of shit
was it not fucking breach loaded?
I love how sassy the devil is in it
It was something, certainly helped I like their music
nvm
Oh that one was good
anyways thse things got the whole "last ditch" weapon idea right
I was half expecting them to promote a soda. Those ads were funny
of just being a simple gun
Old as creation and beefing with a cat
you can manufacture by the truckload
ignore the fact that Japan was probably going to get like its entire population killed
with this strategy
What other good ones was there. Oh, the special forces unit who were going to hunt down some insurgents and rescue an ally. Only to stumble across an ancient love craftian like being
… based?

He needed the Poem man
Nah. I think you're thinking of the several self defense weapons meant in case of invasion.
Talking about the Arisaka rifles. There was a last ditch variant that basically had these changes from the early war ones.
Poorly finished stock, wooden buttplate held in with nails, lack of an upper forward handguard, very obvious tooling marks in the metal, lack of the monopod, non-adjusting fixed sights and an unfinished bolt knob and handle.
Despite looking like a piece of shit. It still worked fine and was actually still safe to use.
Although the Arisaka rifle in general was literally just a better Mauser.
Oh those ones
Cthullu’s brother ye
Lmao
how was the most normal major axis power italy
Keep forgetting that one’s name, I just know he’s the antithesis of Cthulhu
don't answer that
Which is an interesting add on to the plot
I love how Hitler in the beginning just tolerated them and their wacky shit, but as the war continued and his drug abuse got worse he fully bought into it
Yeah Mussels really was a rock in hard place
which is saying a lot because they made this shit as well
Okay genuinely what is the fucking story
There was another I really really liked
behind this
The hive one
Remember their occult division was looking for fucking Thors hammer in Norway so they could win the war
Above is an Arisaka rifle made in 1940.
Below is one made in 1944.
You can see the difference in quality.
They were gonna try and start their own versions of Trench Crusade but almost a millennia later, lmao
The nazis open a portal to hell in Jerusalum, more at 7
Italy was also the most under prepared.
Because Mussolini needed his rebuilt Rome now. Instead of waiting for things like
"Actual industry"
facism is Ouroboros, it eats itself
Hell, I bet they were secretly banking that even Da’at Yichud existed to some capacity, lol
Yeah they were insane, also the fact iirc early on Hitler hated their archeological stuff since all Himmler was finding was evidence that Germanic people weren't creating wonders like the Greeks/Romans I would need to find it
I mean
The soldiers were perfectly willing to fight.
They just had shit leadership, shit equipment, and shit vehicles.
...so of course they ended up as the laughing stock of the war.
me when I build my entire ideology
out of psudo scientific bullshit
and it turns out to be wrong
pic unrelated
I give points to those Wehrmacht troops who thought “nazism is gay” and fight alongside Americans at the battle of Castle Itter. How there isn’t a movie revolving around that event is baffling
I think the funniest thing is that
Due to the Nazi party being named National Socialists originally to attract people.
Hitler basically said that "nah the commies are doing it wrong. My version of socialism is different."
"So what does it mean then?"
"...into the ga- shower chambers. Now."
see the Chinese civil war
The Chinese nationalist party was also socialist
“Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It's bad enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts and enthusing over every potsherd and stone ax he finds. All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler makes a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations."
ignore the fact that Chaing Kai Shek was also a batshit insane facist
actually
totalitarian asshole is more accurate
because he wasn't racist
Until he became racist
then he became facist
I mean technically you don't need to be racist to be fascist
well
At least by pure definition
you kind of have to
fair
but for more modern interpretations imo
racism is kind of a necessary component
As one who is an enthusiast of WW2 history, the one I have little knowledge on is the Chinese front
Inevitably as a scapegoat yes.
that place was fucking awful
for the civillian population
also tons of infighting
Chiang Kai Shek had to be kidnapped
and forced at gun point
But hey technically you could blame the Emus for all of your troubles
to work with the Communists
Then create a fascist empire based on destroying all of Australian's Emus
(You will lose)
and then there was a uhyger rebellion in Xin Jiang
which got put down by nationalist Hui Muslim troops

which led to an entire front of the war imploding
because the Hui Muslim troops were some of the best soldiers in the Chinese nationalist army
and then the communists shot at the nationalists
I find it funny that in their dying moments
Both Mao and Chaing basically went absolutely bonkers
and then the nationalists did the same and blew up a dam
killing like
900,000+ people
It's weirdly poetic
anyways what I'm saying is
That warzone was misery
especially for the civllian populace
Thats excluding the famine
and the Japanee breaking through the floodlands
and killing everyone
because Chaings plan was fucking stupid
I just realized that China basically had like two major famines literally only 20 years apart
so he just blew up a dam and killed millions
God damn
Anyways, the irony is Chiang Kai Shek
and Mao were blood brothers
not like
actual blood related
but they did a whole pact thing
...I mean considering how similar their respective empires went
I am not surprised
I need to explore these avenues. I know from Europe to the Pacific, and Africa with the battles fought there. I gotta look more into the Burma Campaign as well as operation U-Go
there's another universe where the Chinese unitied Front went well and China might have transitioned into an actual democracy
Although the most ridiculous part is that Pol Pot somehow managed to make Mao say
"Bro he is crazy and dangerous."
Oh also during operation ichi go
the Communists and nationalists
were putting in minimal effort
into actually fighting the japanese
because their plan was to turn on each other
and let the USA and USSR do all the work
this is widly considered nowdays by both CCP and RoC historians as "a terrible idea"
The biggest difference between fiction and reality. Is that Fiction needs to actually make sense.

RoC?
Republic of China
Republic of China aka Taiwan
because if its called the Republic of Taiwan it will be declared war on by China
no this isn't a joke, this is an actual consideration in taiwanse politics
the DPP really wants to change the name to Republic of Taiwan, which while would be great
would probably go fucking horribly now
Chinese history is insane in general
Nono I got that, just didn't know they were calling themselves the RoC
oh
yeah
tbh its unpopular
its only used for appeasement with China
for most of the parties
aside from the KMT
which still is on the platform of "We're the one true China"
I think originally it's because it was claiming that it's the actual true China.
But now it's just used for appeasement
well
one party still claims that
or rather the pan blue coillation in general
claims that
chinese nationalists as well
Despite the fact that now they're basically two separate entities at this point
Yes
Despite that, China still threatens them on the daily so I dunno, feels like an inevitability at some point that they'll invade
they've culturally divereged quite a bit
An invasion is hugely unpopular rn in chinese politics
its at its lowest historically
which is 60%
Like I don't think a good chunk of actual Chinese people living in China want Taiwan. I just think the government threatens them because the old people really want it
with over 90% of the population wanting reunification via peacful means
rather then war
regarding chinas internal politics
no they do
lol
And those are probably official government numbers, which I imagine are a bit inflated
I mean want Taiwan in terms of "It needs to be permanently fused with us forcefully"
it used to be around 80%+
me who has been waiting for a battlefield 4 China scenario since 2020
well yeah, they don't want to fight a war
the idea of war is unpopular in China
the government being liked is also at an all time low for modern chinese history
mostly
Maybe there is a god.
Because Xi jin Ping is a facist
I just hope that China tones down the censorship one day
probably not
But it's unlikely to happen soon
its gona be a while
Think we’d all be dead by then
At least until Xi Jin Ping dies
Hasn't there been more solo protests within China as of late? I know there's been a few as of the past 4 or so years
if we get another reformer
and yes
there's more protests
this is the most unstable china has been in terms of
True.
Still would like to actually watch YouTube there rather than needing several VPNs.
Finally.... balkinized China...
Seriously why the fuck is YouTube blocked
Again
I’m not following
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 babyyyyy
China balkanized before balkanized was a thing
Explain?
I mean they're already doing that, but they'd definitely start doing it openly if they balkanize.
Chinas CCP government is increasingly losing control recently with people being disatisfied with it
China is so large that there were a few Kingdoms within the region that warred for a long time
China is notoriously disunified historically
The different provinces
have their own languages
is now brought up to speed
The Chinese Revolution in the 50s is basically the most united they were
