The idea of a career politician in general to me is a sign our entire system sucks

arctic talon
#

Career politicians suck

#

As a concept lol

last stone
#

I doubt it would run better

jade holly
#

You shouldn’t be able to make a career of being a civil servant

#

Let alone getting rich by it

opaque coyote
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Preferably there shouldn't be one but let's

#

be fair here

opaque coyote
#

A lot only join in for the power

arctic talon
#

Government bonds

#

Stable investment

jade holly
#

The worst part is to change anything they have to vote in losing their ability to not do insider trading in office

opaque coyote
#

Whether the power to do good or do evil

jade holly
#

So they just won’t

opaque coyote
#

It's still power

jade holly
#

They have to limit themselves

arctic talon
#

You have a vested interest to not let the government explode as well

jade holly
#

Like Hell they’d do that

arctic talon
#

Deadass pay them with more bonds

opaque coyote
#

Remove insider trading

#

It wouldn't fix ALL of our problems

arctic talon
#

It’s so bad lol

opaque coyote
#

But it'd definitely fix a good amount

arctic talon
#

Every time it comes up with vote

jade holly
#

The legislative Branch having the choice to limit itself is a problem

arctic talon
#

It’s a bipartisan issue on both sides

#

Except

#

It’s based on age split

#

Which is fucking hilarious

#

Under 40’s tend to vote against it

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Over tend to vote for it

opaque coyote
#

Or voting for removing insider trading

jade holly
#

Imo the Judicial or Executive should have the ability to set term limits for representatives and senators as well as ban any insider trading and lobbying

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

So for removal

#

Go it

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Yeah that's fucking awful

jade holly
#

Unfortunately

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

If it’s banned we just go to under the table bribes exclusively again

#

And then that’s a whole other shit storm

opaque coyote
#

But it would also be harder to find out

jade holly
#

Fuck it, bring back duels

opaque coyote
#

At least insider trading should be banned

jade holly
#

At least make it interesting to watch lmao

opaque coyote
#

Like everyone can agree on that except the people who benefit

#

And it's usually old people

#

Unless if they're somebody like Bernie

jade holly
#

How long has McConnell been in office?

#

too damn long

opaque coyote
#

Somebody please drag him away

#

Democrats aren't my preferred party overall but Mitch makes them just

#

So much worse

jade holly
#

Democrats?

#

Mitch is GOO

#

Bah close enough lmao

opaque coyote
#

Oh

#

I was thinking of Schumer

jade holly
#

Mitch is def an eldritch horror in disguise

opaque coyote
#

But yeah Mitch needs to be gone

jade holly
#

Mitch and Chuck both

opaque coyote
#

I think it should be

#

A rule

jade holly
#

They have strangleholds on the parties

arctic talon
#

Mitch is genuinely a turtle

#

That’s why he’s so old

opaque coyote
#

To just block people from running for anything when they're 60+

#

And drag them out once they reach 60

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

Ehhhh I’d rather hard limits on how many terms you can run first

#

Rather than an age cap

#

but def add an age cap later on

#

Damn chat died

Is he standing on oil?

Trust me guys

He does charity work on the weekends

Very nice guy

One day I will commission a r t (BOTS DO NOT CONTACT ME) of my Darktide zealot

He mainly gives gifts to children of all races

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Even Xenos and such

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Everybody constantly hunts him

#

Nobody caught him

#

Not even once

vagrant fox
opaque coyote
#

shows AI art

#

shows obviously traced art

#

Wouldn't even mind if they actually posted their actual art

#

But it almost never is

vagrant fox
#

I innately don't trust it even if they were real folk

opaque coyote
#

Link your artist social media

#

Like your X, blue sky, whatever the fuck

#

And be like

#

"If you're interested, here."

#

Not immediately put a PayPal link

#

First sign of a scam

jade holly
#

If they ask for money before showing off their talents

#

Don’t trust them

opaque coyote
#

Also usually artists have detailed like

#

Commission prices

#

Like "Sketch for $X amount" insert example of a sketch

#

"Line art for $Y amount" insert examples of line art

#

Type of shit

opaque coyote
#

Also

#

“Our pillaging and wonton slaughter is moral and good while their pillaging and wonton slaughter is evil and cruel!”

storm jungle
#

LOL

opaque coyote
#

While the other worships a God who is an entity of the warp, extremely powerful, and forces their vision onto everyone else.

#

But now with four different flavors.

misty vector
#

Except chaos doesnt need to have faith in their gods, they have proof

rose thorn
rose thorn

screaming PRAISE THE STAR CHILDREN

opaque coyote
rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

Although I think AoS has some

rose thorn
#

Yeah in AOS multiple people have gone and met the the chaos gods in books

opaque coyote
#

And usually AoS stuff is extrapolated to 40k

storm jungle
#

because they are better settings

opaque coyote
#

It is interesting that 40k has no depictions itself

#

Most are lifted from Fantasy and AoS

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

Which I think is kind of a shame

#

Except for one

#

I'm not even sure if it fucking counts

rose thorn
#

There is a blades of khrone warband who vacations into the mortal realms to murder to take a break from murdering in the realm of chaos

opaque coyote
#

This is technically the first 40k specific depictions of the Chaos God officially

#

And it's in FUCKING CHRISTMAS BAUBLES

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

I'm not sure. Maybe, but I don't think there's any greater daemons who look like that

storm jungle
#

those are exaggerated (lol) illustrations

solid horizon
#

I don't see malal there

storm jungle
#

#

😔

#

(with no severance package)

#

Typical GW L

#

RIP Malal, you would've loved Iron Warriors

opaque coyote
celest dome
#

The Tzeentch one suck

opaque coyote
#

In lore at least

solid horizon
#

I always imagine gods would look like roided up versions of their large demons

opaque coyote
#

They look pretty neat all things considered

#

Especially Tzeentch

#

Who uh

#

Reminds me of like really old style medieval demon drawings

#

Stuff like this

misty vector
#

technically couldnt any depiction of tzeentch be considered canon since he is constantly changing

#

a monkey typewriter situation

opaque coyote
#

Khorne also fits and I like the idea of Nurgle actually being thinner looking (with the plague doctor mask too)

#

Like he represents the later stages of decay

#

Where the skin is dried out and even the maggots can't find any food anymore

#

All that's left is essentially a dry rotten husk

opaque coyote
#

But I like even in-universe depictions

#

And it's probably why it's less detailed than the others and why he's an unnatural shape

celest dome
#

For a god of blood(shed), being a dried husk could fun

opaque coyote
#

That could also work

#

Like that's why he's so thirsty for blood and skulls

#

Considering how Khorne warriors act. It makes sense if he's more like

#

A starving animal

#

Constantly hunting for food

#

Rather than a warrior king

#

Since Khorne generally represents more primal violence

#

It would make sense for him to be somewhat animalistic

#

Also considering they're from the tarot cards.

These are basically in-universe depictions of them

#

Can't exactly paint a constantly shifting formless creature

#

Gotta settle on a form

#

Although since they shift and change depending on the warp. I can imagine Tzeentch's card constantly animating

#

The "depiction" changing shape at random intervals

#

Either way, I like depictions of the Chaos Gods

celest dome
#

I remember a fan fiction that had each of the Chaos gods as a tree, each of them being fed, and feeding their domain.

opaque coyote
#

Even if they're canonically formless, we as human beings like to give things form

opaque coyote
#

Since they're essentially living concepts

#

And concepts have a lot of interpretations

#

Tzeentch's domain being trickery and sorcery is similar to how some complicated tricks back then were commonly seen as sorcery/magic

#

His domain is the want to know and things generally being unknown

#

Either it's just a trick of the mind or it's actually magic

#

It doesn't matter anyways. It'll still kill you regardless.

opaque coyote
#

I can't imagine Khorne being a tree though

#

I can imagine Nurgle for obvious reasons

#

Slaanesh and even Tzeentch on some level

#

But I have a trouble thinking of a violent fucking tree

celest dome
#

@arctic talon What's that burning tree you lot got from Australia ?

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Eucalyptus trees irl fucking explode when they catch fire

celest dome
#

Those would be some good violent trees

arctic talon
#

due to the oils in them

opaque coyote
#

More so the concept of like

#

Stabbing a person directly

#

I thought of that tree that poisons you. Also in Australia

#

No wait this time it isn't

#

It's in North and south America

#

The Manchieel tree

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Sounds more like Nurgle territory though

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

slaanesh would have a tree thats addictive

#

or the apple from the bible

opaque coyote
#

A peach tree 🍑

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

a bit too on the nose

#

i think a tree that can turn into an obsession

opaque coyote
#

Like how the pleasures need to be subsumed by more

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

like taking care of a tree but slowly and slowly your skin turns to bark because of your obsession

young pecan
limpid granite
#

thats more slaanesh

opaque coyote
celest dome
#

Seeking knowledge is pretty more Tzeentchian though

opaque coyote
#

Since in the Bible once Adam ate it, he immediately began to become more aware

#

It's sort of an allegory for how humans one day developed consciousness

#

And suddenly understood good and bad

#

That's why Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, which was filled with other animals. They were literally no longer in the "animal kingdom".

#

It fits Tzeentch

#

A bit on the nose but Tzeentch is also like that

limpid granite
#

imagine ahriman finally getting to the heart of the black library and opening the tome of secrets

celest dome
#

Tbh, the Snake could fit Tzeentch or Slaanesh

limpid granite
#

and its fucking empty

opaque coyote
#

What would make it worse?

#

Have it be a glossy page that acts as a mirror

#

"The answer is from yourself and yourself alone."

limpid granite
vagrant fox
opaque coyote
jade holly
#

Ngl I’m kinda surprised Tzeentch isn’t more often depicted with Owl like traits

young pecan
#

I think it's so funny that the bible made seeking knowledge the original sin

#

It really speaks to what that religion has always been

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

isnt it temptation

opaque coyote
#

If he had asked Magnus

#

Then he would've been like

#

"No don't do that you idiot"

#

Ahriman, Magnus, and the Emperor basically caused their fates by their mistakes

#

So I think it'd be a fitting punishment to have it be a mirror

limpid granite
#

tzeentch most likely knows the spell but doesnt give it so he can have ahriman on a short leash

opaque coyote
#

Literally encouraging self reflection

limpid granite
#

cause ahriman is already sort of independant from tzeentch

opaque coyote
#

Because Ahriman really needs it

opaque coyote
#

They now have additional responsibilities

opaque coyote
#

It's like getting kicked out of your home to go to college

#

Although tbf even what counts as the original sin

#

Depends on the demoniation

#

Because

#

Of fucking course it does

jade holly
#

You could argue the first sin was Lucifer and his pride

opaque coyote
#

But they do agree it's from Adam and Eve disobeying God

#

So it's less them gaining knowledge and more...

jade holly
#

Then again idk if Lucifer is mentioned in the Bible

opaque coyote
#

"Listen. Do not eat the fruit."

#

"Do not- you fucking ate the fruit didn't you "

#

"THIS IS LIKE THE ONE SINGULAR RULE I HAD!"

#

"WHAT THE FUCK?"

young pecan
opaque coyote
#

Either way original sin kinda comes from the disobeying part

young pecan
#

I think regardless of interpretation, Adam and Eve have no reason to be called guilty by any just and all-knowing being

opaque coyote
#

Although even what it is

#

It's uhh

#

somehow variable

#

Hell some version literally have the original sin just

#

Destroy all free will

#

Somehow

young pecan
jade holly
#

Bro what?

#

They ate from it because they were tempted to by the serpent

young pecan
#
  • more of god being sexist LMAO
storm jungle
#

correct me if im wrong

#

isnt the entire thing of Adam and Eve being tricked because they are just extremely naive and ignorant

#

lol

jade holly
#

So bro’s just straight up insulting my religion got it

young pecan
jade holly
#

But they were still given an order by God

young pecan
#

And god punishes them for something he orchestrated to happen and easily could have made not be that way

storm jungle
#

its a talking snake

jade holly
storm jungle
opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

christianity/catholcism makes like the most "natural" enticing things be "evil"

#

its why succubus and incubi exist

#

"WATCH OUT THIS HOT BITCH WILL COME AND STEAL YOUR JIZZ"

#

Like okay pal

#

lmao

young pecan
#

More reason for me to call it backwater in the most respectable way I can contain myself to

storm jungle
#

same people who get mad beacuse an artist made a really sexy Lucifer statue

opaque coyote
#

Again I view it more as just the story of how humanity got kicked out of the "animal kingdom" in general. Since that's literally what happened.

As soon as they gained the knowledge of right and wrong. They became more aware than other animals and therefore didn't belong with animals.

storm jungle
jade holly
#

the statue I mean not the outrage

storm jungle
young pecan
storm jungle
#

satanism/lucifer etc are like

#

very much not relevant at all in this age lol

#

i remember watching that video and the entire comment section was

#

"Goddamn hes HOT"

opaque coyote
#

Either as ugly

#

Or as beautiful

jade holly
#

Beautiful depictions I see them as the demon trying to be disarming and trustworthy to lure people in

opaque coyote
#

One leans more towards "I AM AN EVIL CREATURE THAT WANTS TO STEAL YOUR SOUL AND DAMN YOU FOR ETERNITY"

#

While the other is trying to deceive

#

Like you obviously aren't gonna trust something that looks like they got a car ran through their face

jade holly
#

Same way Sauron made himself look like the most flawless Elf to make them trust him

opaque coyote
#

And then got a botched nose job

#

I also think what's basically one of the biblical fanfictions... Paradise Lost

#

Had Lucifer embody both

#

Started off beautiful but the ending specifically had him as ugly

jade holly
#

Also quick fun fact

opaque coyote
#

Moral degeneration made into flesh

#

Wowzers

jade holly
#

Satan is a title not a name

#

It just means Adversary

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

Yep

opaque coyote
#

Which makes all of the slaying dragon stories make sense

opaque coyote
# jade holly Yep

And it's also fucking funny that the only one that actually goes with this detail

#

Is fucking Hazbin Hotel

#

It's the only hell related media that isn't specifically from the Bible where Satan and Lucifer are different entities, and Satan is an actual dragon

jade holly
#

Wanna know another funny thing

#

A near perfect depiction of Satan can also be Maleficent

opaque coyote
#

I mean she's literally called

#

Maleficent

#

Bitch is fucking slaying in that outfit though

jade holly
#

She’ll always be peak Disney villain

#

Rip the animatronic tho

#

The big dragon animatronic in Fantasmic caught fire a few years back

opaque coyote
#

I also find it funny that the entire Sleeping Beauty story can be summarized as

#

"Female version of Satan gets ragebaited by a random girl's looks and puts her in a coma"

limpid granite
opaque coyote
#

I keep mixing up sleeping beauty and snow white

#

Why

limpid granite
#

sleeping beauty served so hard in her sleep an old woman died on the spot

rocky gale
#

Malificent is even more petty, she cursed Aurora because her parents didn't invite her to the Christening

opaque coyote
#

But given that she has devil horns

#

...

#

And turns into a dragon

rocky gale
#

Not inviting her was very rude

opaque coyote
#

She's definitely a demon instead

jade holly
#

She’s the queen of evil

#

Let her revel in it

#

Pettiness and all

opaque coyote
#

It was fine

#

But it wasn't good

#

I don't mind the idea of a traditionally evil villain being reworked to be more complicated

#

But also the fact that

#

Why did they choose maleficent

jade holly
#

I don’t either, but it’s Maleficent

#

You don’t do that with Maleficent

rocky gale
#

Pretty sure it's the same in the live action, she curses Aurora because she isn't invited, but there's also the added detail that Aurora's dad fucked Malificent over when she was young

jade holly
#

Her name is fucking Maleficent

opaque coyote
#

Like it should've been a story of somebody turning irreversibly evil

limpid granite
#

sometimes a villain doesnt need to be sympathetic

#

pure evil villains can be done well

opaque coyote
#

Starts out sympathetic but quickly down spirals

#

Until eventually her own actions does her in

#

And it's still fully deserved

#

That would've been a better interpretation at least

limpid granite
#

like the 1990 witches movie

jade holly
opaque coyote
# jade holly Judge Claude Frollo

The play had him slightly more sympathetic only for that to be a lie.

And by slightly more, I mean he tried to pull the "You're one of the good ones" to Esmeralda.

He also tried to uh invite her for some special

#

"instruction"

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Basically it's less loud than the Disney version and more subtle

#

Yup

jade holly
#

And he did on some level actually care for Quasi

opaque coyote
#

I like both the play and movie version of Frollo

#

For entirely different reasons

jade holly
#

Also he was the actual Archdeacon

cerulean trellis
jade holly
#

And not a judge

#

very big change

cerulean trellis
#

in the original german fairytale her father ripped off malificients wings

opaque coyote
#

The play version has him have a hint of good but it turns out to just be a mask to hide his hypocrisy.

It's more subtle

cerulean trellis
#

maleficient actually displays this

opaque coyote
#

While the Disney version has Frollo revel in his evil

#

And it's genuinely fun

#

I can't really choose one over the other tbh

#

Both do well

jade holly
#

I prefer the animated

#

For one specific reason

#

Hellfire

opaque coyote
#

I still think that her being an anti-hero is weird though

#

Should've been something similar to... God forgive me for this comparison

#

Breaking Bad

#

"AURORA WE NEED TO COOK-"

cerulean trellis
rocky gale
#

You know what, if they do a Hunchback live action I need Brian Cranston as Frolo

opaque coyote
# opaque coyote Breaking Bad

But jokes aside, it starts off with Walter being sympathetic. But as the show goes on, he basically goes in a downward spiral that's entirely his fault

#

And I think a future Sleeping Beauty adaptation should go that route for maleficent

rocky gale
#

Na we won't get another Sleeping Beauty adaptation, Malificent made a morbillion dollars

#

It even got a sequel

opaque coyote
#

If there is one thing I can give Maleficent

rocky gale
#

and spawned a whole genre of Disney novels that did the same for all of the other Disney villains

opaque coyote
#

At least it actually tried something new

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Like

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

At least it fucking tried

#

A majority of Disney live actions are literally just the animated but now it's creepy ass cgi

#

And "realistic"

#

At least Maleficent tried to have it's own unique spin

#

PoV and story

#

The bar is the same place as the OG's dead dragon body

#

But it's there

#

It at least was an attempt to try something new

#

Try something somewhat creative

#

Rather than

#

"Look it's fucking Simba but now a real lion!!"

jade holly
#

Look, It’s Dwayne fucking Johnson as a real person!!

opaque coyote
#

Disney should have never removed it's 2D animation department

That was the beginning of the fall

#

Coco was the one about music and Dia De Muertos right

Haven't heard if Zootopia 2 was good or not

#

Or anything really

young pecan
#

NO MUSIC 🩴

#

why is discord gif search ass now

did they switch away from tenor

#

ffs

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

I really liked the role model actually turning out to be a huge piece of shit

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

And it wasn't a complete 180

#

So you could actually see how he could be villain rather than just

opaque coyote
#

Suddenly changing personalities for no reason

arctic talon
#

his personality remains consistent

#

big ego

opaque coyote
#

Like he always talked about snatching opportunities

arctic talon
#

big showmanship lol

opaque coyote
#

Being forgotten is how you get a second death essentially

opaque coyote
#

So he will be eventually be forgotten

jade holly
#

I love the way he runs lmao

opaque coyote
#

But only after he gets remembered as a fraud

opaque coyote
#

Nobody bothered to even jail him or whatever

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

He's just stuck there until he eventually disappears due to being forgotten

#

If he ever gets forgotten

#

Because he will be remembered

#

As a fraud, liar, cheat, etc.

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

It's a fate worse than death.

... literally in this case

opaque coyote
#

Like it's legitimately unfair that Hector died while his family thought he was a bum

#

And then he was abused even after he died

#

It's basically an analogue of how we can find out information about a person even after they die

#

That changes our entire perception of things

storm jungle
young pecan
#

why did she do that again

arctic talon
#

she's racist

#

next question

young pecan
#

Oh yeah that was unironically why

jade holly
rocky gale

#

anyways that goofy space marine 2 models shoved into Endfield gives me hope a design similar to my favorite arknights operator can make it in bcs those models didn't have any clipping issues despite being so big and armored

I hate that they were too spineless to proceed with what could have been a very good media

young pecan
# jade holly Wait what?

There was cut content, at least I'm pretty sure it was official, about a polar bear kid growing up on his birthday

#

Let me try to find it

opaque coyote
#

Like Bell weather makes so much more sense if things like the Polar bear cut content remained

young pecan
arctic talon
#

tbf

arctic talon
#

this was from a different draft of the movie

#

iirc

young pecan
#

Many such cases with cut content sadly

opaque coyote
#

Bell weather makes more sense in contexts of previous drafts

#

Rather than the release

#

"Why is she racist?"

"Because there's obviously societal mistreatment of a specific type of people that would lead to that conclusion."

Rather than someone using the night howler flowers in an attempt to create racism

#

It would be a symptom of a larger problem

#

Instead of a power play. It would be a severely misguided attempt to make people see what she views as a threat

#

To "make them understand"

#

Although I get why they went to the power direction

#

Since many politicians started racism towards a specific group for power

#

How do you justify slavery to people who are uncomfortable at owning another human being?

#

Just make them think they're not human

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

Now get in the mines

daring creek
#

And yes while that's Ironic

#

it's just.

#

It's astounding really.

#

Just how do you see another being in our current era, grow up in our "1st world" country and just be that way?

#

Then outright refuse to see otherwise

#

The concept of nuance has been weaponized to obscure truth

opaque coyote
#

Because X reason, because Y

daring creek
#

I despise it every moment

opaque coyote
#

Sometimes they've never done anything wrong to that person

#

But it's the people around them that tell them to hate

#

So they hate

daring creek
#

yeah I know it's just a lot to process

opaque coyote
#

And that's exactly how they get people.

It's hard to think nuance

#

Just don't

daring creek
#

they just use "well not everything is true" when its most convenient for them

#

its shit my father loves to do

opaque coyote
#

But my conclusion is that if it wants me to hurt someone for zero direct provocation

#

Then it's bullshit

daring creek
#

It's certainly like

#

an experience to read the news paper and see "trans shooter"

young pecan
#

Never "a white shooter", just "a shooter"
meanwhile always "a black/gay/trans/etc. shooter", but never just "a shooter"

daring creek
#

Thats what I noticed immediately

young pecan
#

Dogwhistle moment

daring creek
#

remember the guy who supposedly had a trans girlfriend

#

like

#

if she was real

#

you're supposed to keep their identity A FUCKING SECRET.

#

thats the whole point of anonymity

young pecan
#

Well unless they've fully come out but yk that's rare

daring creek
#

you dont tell an anonymous persons skin color

young pecan
#

OH you mean saying "trans"

daring creek
#

you dont tell if they wear glasses

#

That girlfriend 10000000% is fabricated bullshit

young pecan
#

He was a registered republican and even if he wasn't he was based as f- (slumps over)

daring creek

it just annoys me that theres more than a minority of people out there not biting onto that immediately

Had some helldivers fans telling me 4 helldivers could kill a marine

#

And they started calling me biased when I said it would require at least 20 for one marine which is honestly fair asf

dark moon
#

The average Helldiver fans are not known for their critical thinking skills. KEKW_ogryn

forest moat
#

I was being fair bro cause I’m a big fan of both but I asked it in a helldivers chat so I shoulda knew it wouldn’t be a even convo

arctic talon
forest moat
#

At the start of it I said no self sacrifice allowed

arctic talon
#

Anyways I hate power scaling between shit

#

So I’m out

forest moat
#

Because if you allow self sacrifice the helldivers would just blow themselves up

forest moat
#

But people always get defensive behind their fandoms

lament shoal
forest moat
#

Yes dude and I wasn’t even on some power scaling shit

lament shoal
#

Helldivers fans try not to glaze evil fascists challenge

forest moat
#

Like I was just asking to see the vibes

#

Even if we glaze them and consider them better than all guardsmen they still would need at least twenty to kill one in my honest opinion @lament shoal

lament shoal
#

Yeah fr

forest moat
#

And they started mentioning stratagems like the marine is just gonna sit there and let a orbital laser hit him

#

At that point I just had to be quiet

lament shoal
#

Also with how helldivers have a habit of dying in really stupid ways, I don't have high hopes for them in an encounter against a marine lol

forest moat
#

And I asked how many it would take to beat a blood angel

#

I didn’t even mention if they would be enraged lol I was giving the helldivers every buff I could and they still said I was biased

opaque coyote
#

Also depends on if you include stratagems

#

But I assume not because that's unfair

forest moat
#

I’d like to hear it I’m not biased

lament shoal
forest moat
#

My situation was how many helldivers does it take to beat one standard blood angel

opaque coyote
#

They would be fucked

forest moat
#

My say would be about twenty and it enraged them all

#

I play helldivers everyday bro, if I was a MARINE in those situations it’s a cakewalk

#

But I don’t wanna shit on people’s fandoms

opaque coyote
#

A space marine would be cooked

lament shoal
forest moat
opaque coyote
#

And more importantly how canonical the stratagem distance is

#

Like is the strike small for gameplay purposes

forest moat
#

The marine would be running at them at Mach ten while they call in stratagems and support weapons

opaque coyote
#

Emphasis on distract

forest moat
#

A marine can run at 60 miles per hour most enemies a diver face are docile in comparison

opaque coyote
#

Some are also wider in area

forest moat
#

As as for the rail cannons and railguns helldivers use, well like I told them see the tau

opaque coyote
#

Like the Orbital Rail cannon is actually homing

forest moat
opaque coyote
#

The SM could dodge out of the way though so I'm not too sure

forest moat
#

This is the kinda convo I was having with them laati and it started making them mad

opaque coyote
#

Since like... Helldivers vary in competency

forest moat
#

Like I was just legit asking questions being objective

#

It’s not like I don’t like both of them

opaque coyote
#

Helldivers fans moment

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

But generally if we treat them similar to guardsmen. Probably enough to call it in

forest moat
#

I think most people are arguing in the point of their own personal diver and that’s where it gets personal

opaque coyote
#

At least

forest moat
#

I look at my own diver as elite but bruh he isn’t doing shit with a marine

opaque coyote
#

Although maybe the one who called it in might be dead

#

By the time he is, the strike would already be dropping

#

But there's still a chance he could live

forest moat
#

Are orbitals and things of the such even able to penetrate marine armor

opaque coyote
#

Yes

forest moat
#

That’s a whole other can of worms

#

And I didn’t even mention it

#

Cause then they would prolly explode

opaque coyote
#

It's very rare

#

But it can happen because there's weak spots on the armor

forest moat
#

All that stratagem talk is cool until the marine has one of these bad boys

opaque coyote
#

And that's also why any SM veteran generally never charges full throttle towards a bunch of people with lasguns

#

Because Lasguns can actually kill them

lament shoal
opaque coyote
#

It's rare but not impossible

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Armor will buckle and break

forest moat
#

Like there’s so many things that would just fuck the divers immediately in my opinion that’s why I said a blood angel or I was gonna say just a standard ultra marine

#

There is no situation where they beat a death guard

opaque coyote
lament shoal
# arctic talon Massed fire kills marines a lot

Oh ik, but if they're quick enough to get outta the line of fire they can definitely tank a few shots from a volley before they reach safety, assuming none of the shots hit any un armored points

forest moat
opaque coyote
#

So any plasma weapon could kill them

#

They just gotta hit em once

forest moat
#

But the thing is what level of technology is that exactly that’s what I was arguing by showing them the tau laati

#

It may the same idea in theory but much weaker

#

But I can’t necessarily call that

lament shoal
#

Tau railguns are very effective against marines, and most heavily armored units too

opaque coyote
#

So I would safely assume they can penetrate armor

forest moat
#

But this is where the convo bridges into power scaling and I didn’t want that lol

#

It was meant to be a fun question and they lost sight of that

opaque coyote
#

Might be a bit harder but like

#

Eh

#

They aren't made out of circuits and wires

forest moat
#

It’s just hard for me to believe four is enough

opaque coyote
#

The four would have to have plasma and the aim of their life

lament shoal
#

Divers would be pretty cooked against tryanids tbh

opaque coyote
#

But it can be done

forest moat
#

These are the things I think about when I consider that question

opaque coyote
#

Again, ability is when it becomes questionable since technically I could say that a Helldiver could be really skilled

#

Or the Marine could just be an idiot since that does happen

forest moat
opaque coyote
#

A surprising amount of times

#

One sm literally died to a guy throwing a wooden spear to his neck

#

Cause he decided to take off his helmet

#

Bro thought he was a protag 💀

forest moat
#

An elite helldiver has what? A month of constant battle experience

#

Before expiration

opaque coyote
#

So it would be equivalent to "4 guard vs 1 sm"

lament shoal
forest moat
lament shoal
#

They're not expected to survive

forest moat
#

Because otherwise I just don’t see them winning bro

opaque coyote
#

Although guardsmen are technically elite also

#

Elite like stormtroopers

#

...so enhanced fodder

forest moat
#

They are so elite the emperor used to let them guard him

opaque coyote
#

Eh might be too far

forest moat
#

Emperor wouldn’t shit on a helldiver but to glaze them I still said let’s assume helldivers are better

opaque coyote
#

I would put them around Scion level or Veteran Guardsman

#

But yeah realistically a human can kill an SM

#

If they have explosives

#

Plasma

heady rivet
forest moat
#

I’m just throwing some shit out there fast but my point was

opaque coyote
forest moat
#

Helldivers not even better than most guardsmen

opaque coyote
#

War in general is also heavily dependent on luck

#

You can be the most skilled individual ever

#

And then die cause some random child soldier with a shitty AK got a lucky shot in

heady rivet
forest moat
#

It should just be obvious with how skewed the battle is anyway I’m giving the divers a full complement from super destroyer and their whole armory to see how many for one marine lmao

lament shoal
#

A helldiver would NOT survive the streets of necromunda 😭🙏

forest moat
#

Like I said before even just giving the marine a simple iron halo heavily weighs the battle in their favor so it’s like

Hype for expeditions

hollow lantern

I still can't believe how cool they made VS look

heady rivet
opaque coyote
# forest moat It should just be obvious with how skewed the battle is anyway I’m giving the di...

But generally I will conclude that.

If Helldivers call in artillery stratagems, they will win. Might be wiped out but they will win.

If they call in something like an anti tank missile launcher. They'll probably die if they called it in as soon as they notice an SM.

If they got one beforehand, they will be likely to win. But this depends on what they call in.

If all four got plasma. I assume it would be T'au level so they'll probably win.

But anything besides that? Guaranteed wipe

Nah they're fucked

They need heavy weaponry basically

And even then they can still fuck it up

forest moat

I give them every buff they could possibly have in the situation

SMs also generally aren't stupid.

forest moat

It’s not fair in my opinion otherwise

And in my case I said it would be a blood angel I didn’t really specify a chapter

#

But they also would not go into rage just a regular angel

heady rivet
opaque coyote

#

But the thing is we haven’t even considered the blood angels skill in combat but it goes without saying

opaque coyote

So if it's a situation where both start off hidden

likely the helldivers would die
