40k-lore-chat

[vagrant fox]

Nobles have to get down and dirty with something once they're bored of normal women, so yeah sure

[crystal forum]

or more traitor guardsmen

we have no idea what the real front looks like

[summer mural]

That too, but I meant that alone is possibly enough, if they send like something more nasty that could prob help too, like some sot or something

[crystal forum]

we don't have a view of the bigger picture

for all we know it could take grey knights to fix the situation

[summer mural]

Well, I for one heavily approve of the loyalists being on the losing side

And there also being genestealers in the mix

[nova scaffold]

who wanna rate his fit

the creevin shotgunner

i like the hat

[crystal forum]

i hope a grey knight character gets added to the ship

[nova scaffold]

10/10

[summer mural]

Not happening, I'd bet on it

[crystal forum]

only because he would stand out

[paper haven]

He'd start shooting everyone

[vagrant fox]

I don't want or expect a marine to show up, but it'd be funny if one did show up and was just a gigantic asshole 24/7

[celest dome]

There is no GSC in Darktide, nor teased for

[crystal forum]

this giant demigod super space marine surrounded by losers and rejects

[summer mural]

I do however think it's possible we get skitarii or some kind of admech themed support

[crystal forum]

arguing with arbites about shit

[queen laurel]

techadept

[vagrant fox]

I did think about a mentor showing up to help with tactics could be fun, but no one would be able to measure up to his standards

[summer mural]

Don't they all have to do the bowing and scraping thing with a marine around, except the leadership I guess

[crystal forum]

it's the inquisition so they prob wouldn't care as much

[vagrant fox]

I don't think it's mandatory in any way whatsoever it's just something that happens when a hyper fanatic society sees an angel

[summer mural]

Yeah

[crystal forum]

some of our characters would be ecstatic to see a space marine

[summer mural]

But that applies to the ship, mostly anyway

[vagrant fox]

Have a short cutscene to show it and just pretend it happens afterwards dw

[crystal forum]

like the penance lady would kiss his feet all the time

[summer mural]

Like you watch morrow give shit to that marine to hack consoles faster , I wanna see it

[nova scaffold]

btw do any of yall ever paint metal before

[crystal forum]

i think morrow would show respect

[nova scaffold]

i learn i need varnish

[crystal forum]

hadron however

[summer mural]

Definitely

[crystal forum]

would not give a shit

[vagrant fox]

Either way while it could be fun in some aspects I really hope they don't do it, I'd rather they mention ork freebooters in the background or something

[queen laurel]

yo @rose thorn @rocky gale for you two
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/nudwrxbe/knightly-bannermen-join-a-riotous-bacchanal-in-the-flesh-eater-courts-armies-and-regiments-of-renown/

[summer mural]

I'd rather other stuff get representation tbh, like arbitrators was a good choice ,it's nice they are a faction that got some limelight, it'd be nice for similar such groups

[nova scaffold]

haya

[queen laurel]

sup sven

[nova scaffold]

you painted minis

[queen laurel]

no

[celest dome]

Thanksfully we do know that there won't be CSM or playable SM.
So it's still quite unlikely for them to appear as Npc too

[nova scaffold]

like im gonna learn how to paint metal

[crystal forum]

it would be hard to find another niche sub faction like arbites since it was kinda unique in how under represented it was

[summer mural]

There's also no need

[nova scaffold]

like these

[summer mural]

Just get like

A veteran sister of battle to be your instructor with standards

[crystal forum]

SoB would kinda suck, personally

[summer mural]

Or even better just get a catachan devil

[crystal forum]

that would be cool

[summer mural]

My point is there's many options beside a marine still available

[celest dome]

Could pick subfactions.
Like Sister of Battles are common in appearances, but there are lesser Orders that aren't seen as commonly (Ordo Hospitalier, Ordo Pronatus...)

[crystal forum]

i just think a space marine would be funny

[rocky gale]

Currently malding after learning the Votann rules, friend plans on getting Steeljacks and they seem pretty unbeatable

[summer mural]

Single space marine on that ship would be a legendary meme yes

[vagrant fox]

There's plenty to pick from that's not marines, other flavours of guard or inquisition ecclesiarchy or what have you

or imperial navy could be cool

[celest dome]

Have us find some destroyed SM helmets in some places

[crystal forum]

those all fall under sub sub faction status. arbites had a lot of lore and everything which was weird for how ignored they were

[vagrant fox]

Have some stooge from the Departmento Munitorum show up to lament about the record keeping or something

[crystal forum]

what if we get a navigator character

[vagrant fox]

The Mourningstars navigator could drop by for a chat why not

[celest dome]

I kind of want some Astropath as vocator

||And also some Astropath branch for the Psyker Ice and Fire like||

[crystal forum]

i'd prefer a new class over more psyker stuff

psyker is already the class with the most variety in playstyles imo

[celest dome]

I want to see the current sets be explored more

[winged jacinth]

yeah the arbites are interesting in that they were tangentially involved in a LOT of stories

[vagrant fox]

datamined broker class is an inquisitorial agent trust me bro

[celest dome]

Psyker and Zealot have more lores that they could use to make their tree larger

[summer mural]

I'd like some admech themed character I think it'd be nice with the level of detail and scale in dt to be able to play a fullblown tech adept or skitarii and dress em up too

[winged jacinth]

i can guarantee this is true (all of the rejects are inquisitorial agents by definition)

[celest dome]

New class/tree should be reserved for cases like the Arbites, Tech Adepts and such where it's both full new faction and new mechanic

[nova scaffold]

fun fact

you can motor oil on pc

[winged jacinth]

yeah i think mars is far and away the most likely especially considering techmarine was announced for sm2(?) but i thought mars was the far and away most likely before arbites too

[nova scaffold]

it does function as a miniral oil

but cursed

[winged jacinth]

i mean uh

[nova scaffold]

is basically like waffel with ketchup

[winged jacinth]

its not not mineral oil

[celest dome]

I think Admech is the most likely

[nova scaffold]

its cursed but good

[summer mural]

Arbites and admech theme would have been by my only two choices for new class, I can't guess anything else they'd do

[celest dome]

But at the same time Admech would require fully separate weapon pool

[nova scaffold]

it does a good job cooling the cpu

[winged jacinth]

i would be worried that motor oil would have additives that make it conductive

[celest dome]

Sister, and probably Eldar seeing those teases

[winged jacinth]

but thats easy enough to test

[nova scaffold]

someone did that test

by dunking a entire pc in a tank of motor oil and it works

[vagrant fox]

Admech is likely inevitable, it'd sell like mad

[nova scaffold]

like it didnt overheat

[winged jacinth]

you'd have to test every variety you wanted to try but yes all you need is a battery and a multimeter lol

[celest dome]

Motor oil can be quite aggressive, I wonder if it wouldn't cause problems

[summer mural]

Yeah especially with mechanicus 2 Also coming out

And tech marine in sm2 apparently

[crystal forum]

are you implying they only added arbites because of rogue trader

[summer mural]

[vagrant fox]

Sounds sensible to me

[winged jacinth]

i think there was probably some coordination between the launches lol

they were like, a week apart

[crystal forum]

i think it would be very funny if they independently were working on an arbites class and then realized later in development

[summer mural]

I'm mostly interested in admech because I like how they handled the arbites class and it's background and gameplay and stuff into the game, I think it's a reasonably decent dlc, so I'd like the same for admech for sure

[celest dome]

It being a coincidence would be quite surprising

I hope Admech would have Mechadendrites weapons

[crystal forum]

maybe GW gave the idea to both of them

[winged jacinth]

admech would not require a lot of improvising or flexing the lore which is nice

[celest dome]

This as a melee weapon

[winged jacinth]

they have piles and piles of gear and established culture

[nova scaffold]

yoo @winged jacinth wanna rate the creevin tractors

[crystal forum]

admech definitely have a huge variety in weaponry they could use

[winged jacinth]

idk they're probably designed in a silly way or look exactly like WW1 machinery lol

[summer mural]

Also I think there's absolutely no way the fs people haven't already considered a bunch of admech ideas

[nova scaffold]

their is many design

[crystal forum]

only problem is that a lot of admech stuff is op as shit

[vagrant fox]

I would love an over the shoulder servo arm that does big damage as a grenade slot ability or something

[crystal forum]

maybe the admech class would have 3 weapons instead of 2

and the third weapon is the mechadendrite slot

[rocky gale]

Mechadendrite replacing grenade, the way psker powers do

[winged jacinth]

i think its more likely they get a choice of augment weapon as a blitz

[summer mural]

Well

[celest dome]

Mechadendrites as a blitz or ability wouldn't really be something that I'd find interesting tbh

[crystal forum]

true

[winged jacinth]

ive been thinking about the motor oil thing and yeah i think it would wreak havoc on your components in the longer term

[summer mural]

What if they do something just super specific, like a sicarius infiltrator or a skittari vanguard

[crystal forum]

arbites got a whole ass dog

[celest dome]

Phorphor Blast Pistol
Arc Grenades
Guardian Skull
Those would be what i'd pick

From common lore

[crystal forum]

power axe

[celest dome]

That would be best as a weapon, not really a blitz

[winged jacinth]

omnissiahan axe would be almost a guarantee i think

[celest dome]

I think not

[winged jacinth]

for a melee?

[crystal forum]

it's iconic

[summer mural]

I think it'd be yeah

[winged jacinth]

i guess they're symbols of office

[celest dome]

Omnisian Axes are restricted to Tech Priests

[crystal forum]

oh come oooon

[summer mural]

Well that's true ig

He has a point

[nova scaffold]

so wanna rate it

[crystal forum]

zealot gets a fucking relic power sword

[celest dome]

Like I know that Martyr/Prophecy did give them to the Tech Adept iirc, but that game does break quite a lot of Lore stuff

[winged jacinth]

you are going to post quar stuff regardless of what i say

[nova scaffold]

yes

[winged jacinth]

i am going to commute now though

[rose thorn]

OOO I saw, a lot of armies can take the RoR

[pearl brook]

Mephiston, Tigurius and Stormcaller meet. What happens?

Best take wins. GO

[vagrant fox]

idk they start fuckin' or something

[crystal forum]

space marine

[summer mural]

Mephiston sprouts his angel wings to flex

[nova scaffold]

too bad, heres a mogyn for that

enjoy

[celest dome]

While higher than quite a lot of weapons we have normally, those weapons aren't really that special

[winged jacinth]

worse than usual

[crystal forum]

would it really be out of the norm for an admech to find an axe

[nova scaffold]

is a light spg

[winged jacinth]

hows a tank tread going to work with just the sprockets

[celest dome]

A Power Axe no, but an Omnisian Axe slightly yes

[vagrant fox]

It's kind of too iconic to leave out, but it'd also be a bit strange if the admech class isn't a proper tech priest

[crystal forum]

we dont need to assume the admech would be a reject

[vagrant fox]

The power weapons we get are kind of iffy anyways, they seem half broken

[crystal forum]

arbites arent rejects

[summer mural]

Proper tech preist kinda elite though even for arbites

Well

[celest dome]

Having full on Tech Priest would be strange still

[summer mural]

A magos is ig

[vagrant fox]

It depends, I suppose

[nova scaffold]

what you mean?

[winged jacinth]

i think they could probably swing it with GW

[summer mural]

Just do a skitarii

[crystal forum]

the power scaling is already all over the place in darktide

[vagrant fox]

The arbites are kind of rejects personality wise for what arbites are, it's mildly funny

[winged jacinth]

besides the two drive sprockets on the ends of the treads you also need all kinds of tensioners and rollers

[celest dome]

Skitarii would restrict too much

Vague-ish Tech Adept would be best

[nova scaffold]

note that its rather really old designe

like its 9 decades old

its still in service due to budget reason

[summer mural]

I will say however, a proper tech preist would sell

[winged jacinth]

i mean it literally wouldnt work lol

[nova scaffold]

like its more expensive to replace it with something else

[vagrant fox]

It's guaranteed to outsell the arbites

[winged jacinth]

its like trying to support something on a string you're only holding the ends of

[nova scaffold]

creevin do have better design

[celest dome]

Admech would sell so well

[winged jacinth]

admech would sell crazy style

[nova scaffold]

like the anfyr infantry support

[celest dome]

But I hope that if they do something Admech that they also sell cosmetics, unlike what's going on with the Arbites

[winged jacinth]

and it would have enough cosmetic options considering they seem to release dlc class cosmetics super infrequently

[nova scaffold]

is like a mix of a Churchill and a KV2

[languid meadow]

If the KT leak is real we're finally getting a ||A NEW NIGHTBRINGER!!!! RAAAAAH||

[crystal forum]

trazyn's strongest soldier

[crystal forum]

STILL no new arbites skins

[nova scaffold]

its a pretty good infanty support

[vagrant fox]

They better let you change the admech robe colours to let you rep different forge worlds, to let me rep Metallica

[crystal forum]

you only like that one because of the name

[vagrant fox]

yeah

[celest dome]

I like Metallica cause they're absolute assholes

But Ryza

Ryza is best

I miss my orangy boys

[crystal forum]

gryphonne IV skin so i can pretend to be the last survivor

[summer mural]

not only is there any new cosmetics for arbites, theres no patch still yet lol

[celest dome]

Last time I was speaking about Admech in DT, someone was saying that Tech Adept (with the intent of being able to grab everything and anything from the Admech), had less potential than a Skitarii would 💀

[crystal forum]

i dont mind. i love mindless shield bashing gameplay

[summer mural]

but I need EO to work

it doesnt

[crystal forum]

it makes me feel like i have skill

despite only left clicking

[summer mural]

I need a bunch of shit that needs fixing

like mission que backfills

server issues

arbites nodes not working

entire rework of zealot skill tree

entire rework of vet skill tree and buffs for vet

[crystal forum]

fatshark taking its quarterly month long vacation

[summer mural]

[vagrant fox]

I just wish there was banter, I've heard a line or two per mission

[summer mural]

maul has my fav voice and I also like what he says, but he doesnt have enough banter with other rejects

[crystal forum]

i still hate that camouflage has been changed to not make enemies target allies instead of you

[summer mural]

which you know, i cant blame em for not talking to a voice like that

" I. AM. ADAMANT."

[crystal forum]

like i'm using gun vet build and i can only use my power for 3 seconds before needing to switch back to melee since one little gremlin just removed half my health in one hit

[summer mural]

"QUAAAIIILLLL BLOCKFODDDER!!"

[vagrant fox]

My fatalist arbites just doesn't say anything except "the lex is the lex"

[summer mural]

he has a rare line for me, where he actually literally says starts yelling about " BREAKING THEIR SKULLS"

[crystal forum]

shield arbites, no dog, no gun, impact grenades, no cock, no balls

momentum all the way

knock back a shield ogryn

knock back a crusher

[vagrant fox]

Charge with shield is pretty fun

[crystal forum]

charge with the stun shield

makes gunners quake

[summer mural]

charge is awesome

also because it has an extremely low cd

so you can really just keep using it

[crystal forum]

it's like the vet shout

mixed with the zealot charge

[outer wave]

Doesnt the charge have a lower CD if you hit elites/specials?

[vagrant fox]

Yeah

[summer mural]

yep

[outer wave]

Thats so silly

[summer mural]

that node is also skippable

[vagrant fox]

I spam it nonstop in havoc

[summer mural]

because charge has a low cd even without it

[crystal forum]

it's literally just left click until you win

dont even need to use your gun

i really dont get the point of the shield revolver

[outer wave]

Both shields as the charging Arbites is pretty goated

[summer mural]

the shield revolver is really good for taking out ranged threats because you can aim in peace since the shield blocks while you're aiming

[outer wave]

^

[golden imp]

Do arbties have anything to do with military court Martials and investigations or is that all commisar jurisdiction?

[crystal forum]

if you have the charge it's pointless

[summer mural]

its also got good cleave

[outer wave]

Its a safer stub revolver IMO

[summer mural]

if you have the charge just take something for sniping long range threats

like sniper shotgun or shot pistol

or bolt pistol

etc

or be cool and take ext3 arby shotgun and shoot it at point blank

because its got huge spread and decent cleave

itl go through hordes

[crystal forum]

i just use the stun shield to stop gunners from stunlocking me

it blocks while you're doing the alt

[summer mural]

also special on stun shield is so crazy

i didnt even believe thats what it did the first time i used it

[celest dome]

That would be Commissar

[summer mural]

its just on demand aoe stun

[crystal forum]

the stun is weak

[celest dome]

Arbites take care of the Tithe and only that

[crystal forum]

you get way more stun from melee bashing in the head

but it's useful in some situations

[summer mural]

the stun is good when you're in trouble

its also good for revives

[storm jungle]

^

[crystal forum]

i use impact grenades to completely destroy dog hordes

[storm jungle]

Another bad jay opinion, destroy him

[crystal forum]

i become the entire kill feed

[nova scaffold]

hay i got a question about Warhammer game, whats the point for?

[summer mural]

the wot

[nova scaffold]

like what it means in table top

[summer mural]

oh

[crystal forum]

5 impact grenades is still wild to me

[vagrant fox]

Shield stun is poppin

[outer wave]

I love it when the Maul uses impact grenades and goes "Explosive judgement" as if hes using an ancient spell

[crystal forum]

and you get grenade recharge by removing a dumb dog

who needs a dog anyways

[summer mural]

maul is lowkey hilarious

[vagrant fox]

Maul is very funny, I trust him

[summer mural]

and he speaks slowly and gutturally, so its actually nice waiting for him to finish his sentences

keeps you interested

[crystal forum]

i took maul because my character is a dumb brute

[nova scaffold]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Mzgj5B22b2Q?si=SN86OLx9oFfDIG-s

[summer mural]

" BREAK THEIR SKUUULLLSSS"

[nova scaffold]

like what it means

[crystal forum]

my background is like school bully and riot police

[summer mural]

dope

[crystal forum]

and my build will always be stun shield with charge

[outer wave]

I think I just kinda clicked random shit for my arbites

[summer mural]

i think my favourite bit in the select was when they said you could pick like which precint you come from, and you could choose the sick main fortress precint with the marshal there or you could just be on the super harrowed outpost station in the hourglass

and others ofc

like the library of law or something

[outer wave]

He's gotta get rid of something in order to add his favorite unit in, or cast that out entirely

[crystal forum]

it was literally all shitty outposts or the one good one

very funny choice list

[summer mural]

I chose the hourglass one for maul

i cant imagine him hanging out at hq

[nova scaffold]

what's the point means

[outer wave]

Points is just how much it costs to have a unit in a list, which the limit can change depending on the kind of game you'll be having, like 500 points are smaller armies while 2000 points will be bigger ones

[crystal forum]

or just substitute 1 weapon option in the list

[outer wave]

^

That too, some units can get upgrades for additional point cost

[nova scaffold]

what happened if thier is no point limits

like unlimited

[crystal forum]

like he could remove the pintle heavy stubber from the leman russ

tanks have so many extra point options

[crystal forum]

you would win the game by having more models

[outer wave]

I believe that would be an apocalypse game

[nova scaffold]

imagine you being a dark eldari player and the last thing you see is a guy with 400k ork

[outer wave]

Which are apparently more for the spectacle than actual balancing or the actual game

[nova scaffold]

like straight up a green tsunami

[crystal forum]

they also work by having the opponents have fun lol

points are for people who care about them

you can just play without points

[nova scaffold]

imma go do that in my first Wargame

but im the one that gonna obliterated my friend with so much easky

[crystal forum]

your friend could also just have more models that cost a lot of points

like custodes

[summer mural]

do they have like

marlboros in 40k

[crystal forum]

lho sticks

[summer mural]

its a stick

?

[crystal forum]

it's a cigarette

[summer mural]

like do you take a lighter and light it up

how is it practically

[crystal forum]

yes

it's a cigarette

[summer mural]

with a filter and nicotine?

or is it more like a joint

[storm jungle]

yes

okay so like

as a future note

[crystal forum]

presumably with no filter and 90% tar content

[storm jungle]

literally almost everything exists in 40k

it just has a gothic aesthetic

theres literally fucking noodles

[summer mural]

cheeseburgers?

[storm jungle]

correct

[crystal forum]

this reminds me, has anybody noticed the cigarettes in the 5th element movie

they're like 80% filter

[storm jungle]

a novel literally has scrambled eggs, but its called scrambled embryokes

[summer mural]

noodles will always exist in sci fi dystopias because of that one scene with harrison ford eating noodles in blade runner

[outer wave]

Thank you, Harrison Ford

[crystal forum]

it's literally just filter

so funny

[storm jungle]

Me looking into pings in lorechat

[crystal forum]

that's in eisenhorn isn't it

i swear it read it in there

[storm jungle]

no lol

its Kingmaker

[crystal forum]

damn

[summer mural]

so

[crystal forum]

i just finished reading it

[storm jungle]

Abnett cannot make anything like that for shit

[rocky gale]

Noodles are a longstanding sci-fi classic

[crystal forum]

it's a cyberpunk thing

[summer mural]

like not to overly generalize, but soldiers in conflict tend to smoke, are all the billions of guardsmen just huffing on the frontlines during breaks

[rocky gale]

Even in Alien they were all eating noodles

[crystal forum]

the asian aesthetic that is also mildly racist

[storm jungle]

mildly racist?

ITS NOODLES

[crystal forum]

not the noodles

the aesthetic

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner-1982-noodle-bar-harrison-ford-whatever-gif-8661128311933601427

noodle shop in rainy neon sci fi dystopia is all time classic

[rocky gale]

You're talking orientalism, but noodles in Sci-Fi is much more than that

[crystal forum]

the guard is WW2 inspired so they smoke a lot

[dapper gyro]

For me, it is nostalgia.

[crystal forum]

im talking in the cyberpunk genre

[dapper gyro]

I don't even know what "cozy" was back then, now I miss it.

[vagrant fox]

Being in the guard sucks major ass so you might as well smoke

[rocky gale]

Yea and Cyberpunk is Sci-Fi

[summer mural]

do they use like their lasguns do light up cigarettes in the all time classic case of 5 guys having cigarettes and no lighter

[crystal forum]

do you see noodles in dune often

[vagrant fox]

yea

[crystal forum]

shut up bear

[summer mural]

dune has a lot of acid trips, so probably not

[dapper gyro]

High on spice...

[summer mural]

the man inhaled a bunch of dust and become a transhuman god

[dapper gyro]

All time classic

[vagrant fox]

What a good curry does to a mfer

[rocky gale]

Main reason they're common in Sci-fi dystopias is because Noodles are cheap

[crystal forum]

why not pasta

[summer mural]

oh thats dt themed too, thats very nice, its the rejects including arby!

pasta doesnt have the same vibe of steaming bowl of broth and noodles being served on open counter

[rocky gale]

Noodles better represent Globalism to a Western audience than pasta does

[summer mural]

you gotta dine when you eat pasta

[crystal forum]

because you're looking at it from a western eye

[rocky gale]

Yes

[dapper gyro]

Insta noodles is cheap, actual fresh noodles isn't.

[rocky gale]

Ask Uni students, many of them survive on noodles and cheap beer

[dapper gyro]

Pasta sauce is harder to keep vs noodles broth.

[summer mural]

i survived on expensive beer

probably why i was always broke

[crystal forum]

pasta sauce is literally canned

[dapper gyro]

Im too cheap for beer...

[summer mural]

i actually spent on beer and no food

[crystal forum]

liquid bread

[dapper gyro]

Occassional drinking

[near wasp]

Make your own noodles?

[summer mural]

"occasional"

[languid meadow]

water yum

[dapper gyro]

Well, it was, until I have costco card...

[crystal forum]

at what point are noodles any different from pasta

[summer mural]

also is the corpse starch the designated generic 40k food for like, soldier rations and stuff

[crystal forum]

before you cook them they're the same

[rocky gale]

Comercially they're very different

[crystal forum]

unless we're talking rice noodles

[crystal forum]

they get actual food usually

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/ramen-chill-japan-food-asian-gif-15659123

[near wasp]

No it's an emergency ration

[crystal forum]

agri worlds exist for a reason

[summer mural]

you aint getting pasta over there

[rocky gale]

If I want ramen, I can get a packet from the shop for 20p, add hot water, wait 2 minutes and enjoy. If I want Pasta I have to buy pasta, I have to buy pasta sauce, I have to buy things to go with it and then I have to cook the pasta, cook the pasta sauce and cook the things to go with it.

[summer mural]

so what do they get , like rice and grox meat?

[crystal forum]

you'd get them in italian restaurants just like we get noodles in asian ones

[storm jungle]

Tldr answer would be uhh

• Corpse starch is widespread but depends on the condition of the planet, it can still pass as "regular" streetfood amidst the lower districts of hives

• People DO get actual food but its some form of synethetic slop of various kinds

[summer mural]

yeah but its the vibe, its over the counter, in the open, thats why its aesthetically valuable in a sci fi setting

its steam

[crystal forum]

naaah cyberpunk genre popularized that shit

[summer mural]

i mean sure, but im talkin like blade runner, so yeah, blade runner popularized a lot of sci fi dystopian things, the genre existed before as well of course

[crystal forum]

the point is to use the foreign environment as an oppressive one

you're more out of place in a world you don't feel familiar in

[dapper gyro]

Steampunk/dieselpunk are the same thing, but the imagination people have back in the day.

Now we call it retro futuristic.

[crystal forum]

WHAT

[dapper gyro]

But the theme is the same.

[crystal forum]

it's literally in the fucking name

[dapper gyro]

That technology vs humanity

[storm jungle]

Nah

[rocky gale]

But the ramen places are never portrayed as an unfamilier place, they're always places of comfort, hang out spots, places of calm.

[storm jungle]

dieselpunk is way more different

Dieselpunk is shit like Wolfenstein

[summer mural]

do space marines need like large amounts of nutrients when they do eat

[crystal forum]

it's completely different eras of technology

[storm jungle]

it's like saying that the 1880's were the same as the 1930's

[storm jungle]

Kinda but like its just bland gruel

[summer mural]

ugh

[dapper gyro]

I'm not saying that they are the same aesthetically. Im talking about the theme.

[summer mural]

space marines are so anti fun

[storm jungle]

Dieselpunk is basically shit like this

god i love wolfenstein's tech

[summer mural]

yeah

its so chunky

[dapper gyro]

That they are the same theme as cyberpunk.

[summer mural]

and fun when you cut legs open with a knife

or an axe

[dapper gyro]

Not that they look same.

[crystal forum]

what theme? steampunk and dieselpunk are straight up aesthetic genres

[summer mural]

what else is dieselpunk, i feel like its not a particularly saturated genre

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

OH WAIT

Dishonored 100%

[dapper gyro]

I'm not that crazy to say jules verne stuff is the same design.

[summer mural]

OH

DISHONORED MY BELOVED

[storm jungle]

Fucking love this aesthetic

[crystal forum]

no dishonored 1 is steampunk

[summer mural]

is that steam or diesel

[crystal forum]

it uses whale oil

[storm jungle]

Theres no steam

[rocky gale]

Oilpunk

[storm jungle]

its literally industrialism

its very much dieselpunk

[crystal forum]

steampunk is also industrialism

[summer mural]

its definitely some punk

[crystal forum]

i guess it is more dieselpunk

[storm jungle]

your dick is industrialism

[dapper gyro]

Fallout is dieselpunk in design, but with nuke.

[summer mural]

dishonored 3 is never happening thats so weird and sad

[crystal forum]

fallout is atompunk

[summer mural]

well, 4 i guess, technically

[crystal forum]

dieslepunk doesn't have nuclear power

ITS IN THE NAME

[jade holly]

Tf did I walk in on

[rocky gale]

Fallout was originally Retrofuturism

[summer mural]

diesel and steampunk is a lot of train stuff too i guess

or one of them at least

trains are a big deal in genre stuff

[crystal forum]

dieselpunk has cars and planes

steampunk has blimps and cars that look like trains

[storm jungle]

Dick lasers.

[summer mural]

oh yeah that will smith western is a steampunk western

[dapper gyro]

The different is rather minor, because diesel was also used for steam engine for the while.

[summer mural]

wild wild west?

i forget

[storm jungle]

Wild Wild West is 100% stemapunk yeah

[gaunt lily]

https://tenor.com/view/wild-wild-west-spider-tank-gif-18024449

[storm jungle]

also great movie

[crystal forum]

steampunk has a lot of old west stuff

[summer mural]

with the spider yeah

[storm jungle]

Critics be like

"this thing sucks actually"
Literally the coolest thing ever

[jade holly]

I like the ytp ified version of the song

[summer mural]

I like the humour somehow

[storm jungle]

I mean its not bad

[dapper gyro]

Steampunk is generally more gear and gritty. Diesel is more on curves, smooth and aerodynamic.

[summer mural]

it was surprisingly lighthearted movie with epic scale

[storm jungle]

its literally every mid-2000's movie lol

[storm jungle]

it sfunny because like

[jade holly]

Robots on the other hand

[crystal forum]

will smith turned down the matrix for this

[jade holly]

That movie is a fever dream lmao

[storm jungle]

earlier on Will's character literally mentions women and cihldren being used by target practice by neo-confederates lol

[storm jungle]

based

[summer mural]

that animated movie Robots is dieselpunk too I think, the one with the song meme everyone uses for chorfs

[dapper gyro]

There is a big overlap between steam and diesel punk.

[crystal forum]

he would have sucked as neo true

[jade holly]

At least Will got the MIB series

[storm jungle]

and instead we got Keanu, who also sucked as Neo

[crystal forum]

ARE YOU TELLING ME WE'RE IN A SIMULATION???

[gaunt lily]

eeeh, diesel punk can get way more gritty and grungy than steampunk tbf, WW1/2 with late stage industrialism

[summer mural]

AS NEO?!

[storm jungle]

Real.

[summer mural]

they wanted will smith to be neo

[rocky gale]

"What is this, some kind of Matrix?"

[crystal forum]

im trying to imitate 90's will smith acting

[jade holly]

OJ Simpson was supposed to be the terminator but everyone thought he was too kind to be able to play a killer

[dapper gyro]

Well, anything can be more gritty or streamlined, I'm just say the over aesthetic.

[summer mural]

[jade holly]

That aged like milk

[summer mural]

[jade holly]

Hot take: Will’s Deadshot was actually good

[summer mural]

bleh

sure

whatever

[storm jungle]

Ehhhhhhh

[crystal forum]

that movie just doesnt exist

[storm jungle]

Id say yes

but like

Gunn's Suicide Squad exists

which is literally peak

also Bloodsport is amazing

[summer mural]

will smith is a fine actor, thats all i have to say about deadshot

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-thats-true-true-suicide-squad-gif-22717112

[jade holly]

I still want to see a horror movie for Scarecrow

[winged jacinth]

john cena peacemaker was honestly an inspired casting

[dapper gyro]

Iron harvest has a good art design between the retrofuturistic punk.

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/scarecrow-scarecrow-batman-scarecrow-arkham-scarecrow-arkham-knight-gif-25988598

[crystal forum]

the second suicide squad proves that you can just completely ignore a previous movie if it sucks ass

[summer mural]

i never played ironharvest, i keep getting the trailer recommended

is it good

[storm jungle]

It hleps that Cena doesnt have a little dick syndrome and actually doesnt mind when his big muscular macho character is a cringelord or gets his ass kicked ala the Rock

[winged jacinth]

fuck now im remebering the scarecrow sections in the arkham games where he has spotlight eyes and you have to fight skeletons for some reason lmao

[rocky gale]

Oh Alan Tudyik has been talking about Will Smith recently, apparently when I, Robot was getting test screenings the audiences were all preferring the Robot over Will's character, so Will insisted that the Robot's VA be left out of all the press tours and not to publicise him at all.

[summer mural]

cena has perfect comedic timing as peacemaker lol

[storm jungle]

Arkham Asylum THE GOAT

[storm jungle]

Him trying to flirt with that lady in his show and shes like "Fuck off clown"

[jade holly]

And the fight scene in Peacemaker where’s he’s in nothing but his underwear

[winged jacinth]

those games are indeed really fun

[storm jungle]

Lmao YEA

[summer mural]

arkham games have aged like fine wine

[winged jacinth]

some of my favorite open worlding

[jade holly]

Honestly Cena can be a live action Johnny Bravo

[storm jungle]

100%

[crystal forum]

i, robot is one of those movies that terrified me as a kid

[storm jungle]

DUDE

SAME

[summer mural]

you look back at it, and the combat, stealth, open world, story , batman hype, villains, its all INSANE

[crystal forum]

why are the robots being so mean 😭

then i became an adult and rooted for the robots

[jade holly]

When I was young, the Killer Croc section always made me terrified

[winged jacinth]

Cena is a good actor with versatility but he was always extremely savvy for a wrestler

[summer mural]

SAME

[storm jungle]

Nightmare fuel 💀

[jade holly]

So much so I would restart the game from the beginning when I reached that moment

[winged jacinth]

he was the branding king during his reign

[summer mural]

THOSE FUCKING PLATFORMS

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/killer-croc-arkham-asylum-gif-25593750

[storm jungle]

OH MY GOD

NOT THE GAME OVER SCENES FOR CROC

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[jade holly]

The reason Killer Croc is my favorite villain

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

those games were made with so much passion for the material

[storm jungle]

I love him as a character but in the Arkham series hes basically a dumbass animal

[summer mural]

and the COMBAT, THEY COPIED IT FOR LIKE 5 GAMES AFTER THAT

[crystal forum]

another will smith classic that terrified me is i am legend

[dapper gyro]

It is fun and game... then they made Kill The Justice League...

[storm jungle]

Kill the Justice League is great

because it made dumbass batman fans mad

[winged jacinth]

killer croc when you put a rubber band around his mouth

[crystal forum]

then i became an adult and laughed my ass off at will smith talking to mannequins

[storm jungle]

also this is peak Killer Croc btw

[jade holly]

Hot take: my favorite Croc design is Arkham Origina

[summer mural]

who wants to talk about the first suicide squad killer croc

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/arkham-origins-killer-croc-batman-dc-gif-5874160594081563407

[storm jungle]

NO

[summer mural]

[crystal forum]

relatable

[summer mural]

[jade holly]

It’s the only one that actually resembles a skin condition

[dapper gyro]

Me irl...

[jade holly]

Y’know, what Croc ACTUALLY FUCKING HAS

AND NOT BEING AN ACTUAL CROCODILE MUTANT

[winged jacinth]

fools think batman is killer crocs nemesis when this is his REAL nemesis

wow thats crispy

[storm jungle]

"Why is gotham such a shithole

Gotham:

[crystal forum]

lowest res image possible

[summer mural]

also one of my fav things about those games is that for once I found robin endowed with common sense and being deeply likeable and not an annoying cape clutcher

[winged jacinth]

im on my laptop and apparently google actually downscales the images before serving them lol

[jade holly]

Am I the only one that Headcanons Killer Croc as Cajun or at the very least southern?

[dapper gyro]

Which one?

[storm jungle]

I swear some of the comics actually DO lean into that iirc

[dapper gyro]

We have like 2 former robins...

[storm jungle]

i feel like ive seen this before

[summer mural]

tim

[winged jacinth]

i think theres been 3 robins?

[crystal forum]

evil croc would start advocating for skin condition disability rights

[summer mural]

but jason and nightwing are great too

[jade holly]

I know the show Brave and the Bold made Croc have a Southern accent

[storm jungle]

Yeah that lmao

but like its DC, theres a ton of versions

[summer mural]

literally all the robins in the arkham games have personality and all have interesting shit to say

[storm jungle]

Shame Bruce is a fucking twat and doesnt listen to anything they say or want their help

[jade holly]

I still think Fred Tatasciore is one of my favorite Bane voice actors next to JB Blanc

[dapper gyro]

There are 4 official Robins in the comic.

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/jelleton-bane-injustice-gif-9217729

[dapper gyro]

Main timeline*

[storm jungle]

Fred and Blanc are industry veterans so that checks out

[summer mural]

todd, nightwing and tim drake, and except todd( for reasons) all of them have like very human and adult concerns about batman, which they show with respect and class

and bruce being bruce ignores them

[jade holly]

Arkham Origina Bane though? Absolute peak

[storm jungle]

SOMEONE

[summer mural]

and damien later

[gaunt lily]

how much do you want to bet wayne industries doesnt hire much in gotham

[jade holly]

Bane in Asylum: big dumb brute who loses to vehicular manslaughter

Bane in Origins: One of us dies tonight: you, me, or the clown 🗿

[crystal forum]

the 1966 batman series is so fucking funny i wish superheroes were still treated as the goofy fucks they are

[dapper gyro]

Wayne Industries has to give bonus to the CEO.

[summer mural]

origins is funny too because its like, christmas and the streets are filledd with complete thugs

[dapper gyro]

No one ever asks about Bruce's CEO bonus.

[jade holly]

The balls on this man

[storm jungle]

Gunn is lik ethe only comic book movie maker today that actually acknowledges that its okay for supervillains and superheroes to be inherently goofy and that its why we actually love them.

[winged jacinth]

bruce gets his bonus in missiles and grappling hooks

[jade holly]

The Batman was such an underrated adaptation of Batman

https://tenor.com/view/the-batman-2004-joker-gif-17644966450419113048

[storm jungle]

my goat 🙏

[winged jacinth]

you think anyone at wayne industries ever goes "hey why are we developing a cape that turns into wings"

[jade holly]

KMR was such a great Joker

[storm jungle]

that happens in the mid-2000's movie

[summer mural]

also one of the most tense and hype moments I played in the arkham games was in origins when you investigate black masks apartment murder and you slowly build up how brutal the joke was in that apartment

[storm jungle]

and Lucius is like "no one will believe you"

lmao

[winged jacinth]

thats good, i bet morgan sells it

[jade holly]

I love that Joker’s theme was a fucked up version of Carol of the Bells in that game

[crystal forum]

i'm prob a tiny minority but i never enjoyed the way zack snyder tried making superman edgy and jaded when his comic book appearance is supposed to be the most wholesome guy in the world

[storm jungle]

Bro hung up Mask's girlfriend on a chandelier and forced him to dome her head with a revolver while they wer efighting

[storm jungle]

MINORITY?

[crystal forum]

idk

[storm jungle]

LITERALLY EVERYONE AGREES WITH THIS

[winged jacinth]

snyder is a hack lol

[crystal forum]

doesnt he have a huge following

[summer mural]

there was a molotov cocktail under her feet she got roasted by

[jade holly]

Superman is literally supposed to be our beacon of hope, a good man who wants to do good things

[winged jacinth]

release the snyder cut
its worse

[jade holly]

he’s the man of tomorrow, not the man of steel

🗿

[storm jungle]

The current superman movie is entirely a success BECAUSE people were tired of his version of DC

[dapper gyro]

Snyder movies are not great.

[winged jacinth]

superman is a prime gunn character

[dapper gyro]

The dude then makes Rebel Moon...

[summer mural]

also man of steel did completely forget about clark kent being an awkward kinda guy, clark kent in man of steel literally looks wealthier and classier than bruce wayne

[crystal forum]

like i thought superman was specifically supposed to be a really optimistic guy which sets him apart from all the other super heroes with more tragic backstories

[winged jacinth]

he really fits the one narrative gunn writes (found family)

[dapper gyro]

That shit makes me want to puke.

[storm jungle]

I was an ex-superman hater myself, I hated that he was just a "generic good guy", only I realised years later im the idiot for thinking this way. Superman is great because hes just a good person doing the right thing.

[storm jungle]

watch the new movie

[scenic bolt]

Snyder bought in early on the what if Superman was evil schtick

[storm jungle]

im so glad this meme trend existed

[summer mural]

THATS CLARK KENT

[winged jacinth]

superman is cool because he feels bad about all the stuff he cant fix with his powers, among other htings

[jade holly]

Superman on his own began the wave of hopeposting

[crystal forum]

i think snyder started it when people thought that edgy super heroes was a fresh twist

now it's just so lame

[winged jacinth]

he understands you cant just laser eyes world hunger

[dapper gyro]

Superman has the power of a god, but still decide to live as a humble person.

He could make a secret harem if he wanted.

[summer mural]

i liked zod though

[winged jacinth]

edgy superheroes should have stayed with the fringes like watchmen and the boys

[summer mural]

michael shannon is awesome

MY GOAT.

We live in an age where people hate Superman for saving a squirrel

[summer mural]

is that a salamander?

[crystal forum]

superman being genuine and actually trying to be good is somehow fresh now since cynicism is baked into the modern world

[scenic bolt]

It’s funny that with how comic movies have gone of late that returning to the OG character that created comic book heroes is seen as original

[jade holly]

Nah cause he doesn’t scorch down xenos

[winged jacinth]

unpopular opinion i like Dr Manhattan as a take on "i have all this power but i cant fix everything so why even try"

[jade holly]

I’ve never seen the movie yet, I just like the clip of Lex yelling 1A over and over with no context

[scenic bolt]

Test audiences are dumb as shit and they should’ve kept the day cards too

[crystal forum]

we've gone full circle where modernism is fresh to our postmodern eyes

[storm jungle]

Test audiences opinions 90% of the time are very much dogshit yeah

[storm jungle]

Watch it as soon as you can, its great

also if you want context let me know

[dapper gyro]

Dr.Manhattan is a human with power of a god. His mindset is still very human.

[jade holly]

I still think the protagonist I resonated the most with in any movie was Wreck-it-Ralph

[jade holly]

Nah it’s funnier without context

watchmen is a good movie

[storm jungle]

its fandom just sucks

Honestly, the supporting cast is great.

Nathan Fillion was the perfect choice for Guy Gardner

[summer mural]

also im glad nathan fillion got cast in a big movie

i feel like he kinda vanished for a few decades in there

[scenic bolt]

Good thing they kept Supes trunks, and kept Guy’s bowl cut

[jade holly]

He was in Guardians 3

[summer mural]

he was?

[jade holly]

Yeah

The captain guy on the Orgocorp

[summer mural]

he was also in halo 5 , but thats not really...a plus

he had to come back from the menu somehow

Nathan is in a lot of things

[rocky gale]

Dawn of War definitive edition just released

[summer mural]

Nathan Fillion was in the Menu?

[winged jacinth]

i have to say it does seem kinda stupid that ozymandias's plan to kill him was to use the same thing that he already forcibly fixed himself from to exist in the first place

trying to shoot the guy who got his superpower from being shot

[languid meadow]

ODST/5 as Buck, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Cayde-6

[scenic bolt]

Fillion’s been in a ton of Gunn movies

[crystal forum]

oh no i meant another guy

[rocky gale]

It's cheaper if you already owned the OG version on Steam

NATHAN FILLION IS CAYDE 6?

logan's run

70's sci fi costumes at its best

i like the era of sci fi when you were supposed to just look past the jank in the special effects

[summer mural]

well

[jade holly]

Or better yet the jank was seen as part of the sci fi aesthetic

[summer mural]

it probably was as immersive as anything you saw at that point

[crystal forum]

like that thing is a robot and you can literally see the actor's flesh mouth and eyes behind the mask

https://youtu.be/SiyPqbyHXIg?si=TwiNTfW2RwWtNdJ2

also he talks like an old timey sailor

[languid meadow]

I love old sci fi sometimes

other times it's very very uncanny

[crystal forum]

also the choice to use a completely reflective suit which means you can see the camera crew when he's moving

[summer mural]

do they ever like, drill to the planets core in 40k, for I dunno, power reasons or to fuck around or for more space

[crystal forum]

wanna see something cool

[storm jungle]

Yeah they do

as ever

[languid meadow]

sure

[storm jungle]

[dapper gyro]

What period of old sci-fi?

[summer mural]

i mean i guess the votann do it for entertainment

[storm jungle]

Basically the ultimate rule for 40k is "anything is possible if it reads good on rulebook page"

[summer mural]

but do imperium do it

[storm jungle]

Yes

[crystal forum]

https://youtu.be/H0FBGrtAicY?si=noO_DaOcCUJYCmF3

[summer mural]

do they have like..

[dapper gyro]

I really love the 70-80s japanese sci-fi.

[summer mural]

the drill from oceans 13?

[storm jungle]

If the plot requires it yes

like again

[dapper gyro]

It was a great time, sometimes with great theme.

[storm jungle]

anything in 40k can be made up if it sounds good on paper

theres planets where theres asteroid hive cities above gas giants

[scenic bolt]

And won’t get them sued for copywrite

[storm jungle]

lol

[summer mural]

but im assuming they have done it, so did they use like

[languid meadow]

the physical acting on this is great

[summer mural]

the transformer from revenge of the fallen

[storm jungle]

Again. Yes.

[languid meadow]

he does the animatronic feel well

[crystal forum]

it's uncanny how good he is

[storm jungle]

Writers in 40k will make up anything for cool/scary reading material.

[summer mural]

im assuming its not like a standard practice

[storm jungle]

like I said theres cities above gas giants, hives on asteroids, planets whos entire population lives underground in geo-hives, etc etc

Nah its not

[summer mural]

just a plot point

[storm jungle]

its like

"what can we make for a cool gimmick for this generic planet"

its a very widespread practice

you usually need a planet's core for providing geothermal energy for hives

gotta drill to the core for gimmick smh

[storm jungle]

Tyranids can also extract the entire core of planets

so uhhh

[summer mural]

might as well cast brendan fraser, hot iceland lass and put a t rex in the planets core

Thougt Tyranids only ate the surface level of a planet

[languid meadow]

my audio on my clipping software is so fucking boosted holy shit

[storm jungle]

their first revised codex has them mentioning having cracked planetary cores

AND

to put on our nerd glasses

[summer mural]

cant wait for them to declare all the tyranid invasions so far were just a scouting party that got lost

and the actual armies are much bigger

[storm jungle]

They already did that, like a decade ago IRL lol

[crystal forum]

the idea that nids dont travel fast between star systems and somehow managed to traverse the inter galactic space in only 10k years is pretty funny

[storm jungle]

40k writers dont know science

[crystal forum]

it makes more sense if they were planning this for a loooong time

like since the old ones existed

[storm jungle]

but like

we know they werent planning anything

they jus tsaw the blip

[outer wave]

I'm sure hivefleets go dormant and travel in a singular direction before reactivating, like bacterial or fungal spores

[crystal forum]

just somehow were in the galactic neighborhood

[storm jungle]

thats the thing yeah

[storm jungle]

they lie dormant in between the intergalactic voids

[summer mural]

[storm jungle]

UAAGH

[crystal forum]

i dont think 40k writers have a firm grasp on how much space is in space

[storm jungle]

Shut up neil

nobody cares

🗣️

[crystal forum]

ew

that guy sucks

[scenic bolt]

Def more fiction than science

[storm jungle]

[outer wave]

It is more of a fantasy setting

[crystal forum]

he's a huge chud

[storm jungle]

What did he do

[outer wave]

Our lil chuddy....

[crystal forum]

also constantly talks out of his ass about domains he has no experience in

like biology

[storm jungle]

So like

[crystal forum]

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

Neil Degrasse Tyson

[summer mural]

[plush mason]

he was on Ben's show? man that is a hell of a fall

[summer mural]

not yet, but i heard its pretty good

[storm jungle]

I just assumed everyone was on that show ngl

[crystal forum]

idk i mostly dislike him for being another public science communicator who goes way too out of his field

he's not as bad as others

[storm jungle]

who cares tbh

we all yap about shit we dont know

[winter vessel]

two episodes. Not half bad. Already can't wait for the next one. it seems like for the xenomorph it looks like a bodysuit like in the first film

[storm jungle]

just like some people in here about warhammer

[crystal forum]

not like FUCKING michio kaku

absolute hack

[summer mural]

Im waiting for all the episodes to come out tbh, i prefer binge watching to weekly releases

[gaunt lily]

is john warhammer still alive?

[summer mural]

but i heard its good

[plush mason]

i only know Ben Shapiro as the failed MAGA nutjob he is so maybe his show was respectable at one point

[crystal forum]

he presents himself as an authority

[storm jungle]

I love his review of Superman

"Superman is okay to be a dictator when hes an American"

[dapper gyro]

Link?

[crystal forum]

shapiro's review of imagine by john lennon is the funniest

[storm jungle]

https://youtu.be/Kla87bTjcT8

its SO bad

[languid meadow]

Le Wokism

[dapper gyro]

Oof, a video, thanks but no thanks.

[hallow saddle]

shapiro is genuinely an r slur

[storm jungle]

he literally calls the Kents "ugly" for being rural Kansas farmers

???? WHAT lmao

[gaunt lily]

most of the right wing grifters started with some amount of assumed integrity, the problem is they spent it

[crystal forum]

his whole job is looking at whatever people are knee jerking to on twitter and then making videos about it

[plush mason]

wtf is he wearing?

[languid meadow]

Guy Gardner swag

[storm jungle]

a jacket

[plush mason]

they somehow made the green lanterns look even more stupid

[gaunt lily]

Rural Kansas farmers are the peak of human beauty, clearly

[storm jungle]

its cool shut up

[summer mural]

my outfit from me andromeda

[languid meadow]

I much prefer his movie outfit over his comic one

[storm jungle]

his classism and racism REALLY show in the review lol

[crystal forum]

the hair is the only part i dont like

[winter vessel]

That ain't guy Gardner that's freaking Will Byers if he bleached his hair 20 years down the line

[crystal forum]

why is his hair so bad

[storm jungle]

also he gets mad at Superman for getting involved in a conflict were innocent people are dying

yeah what a monster
