its too bad he murdered that one sister of his whom he actually liked

because hes just so bitter.

~~ and mean~~

[wary fulcrum]

Cause he a buster

[jade holly]

I just realized he becomes the Black Sun that grows larger in the background

[celest dome]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one like that

[jade holly]

A Red Corsair who hunts warp beasts to put them to work in the Red Corsairs ranks

[summer mural]

you can make anything up in the warp yeah

[steel ingot]

how fed up with your job you gotta be to join the red corsairs

[summer mural]

you can literally decide theres a planet in the warp populated by chaos gladiator monks wielding lightsabers and their champion is called Tim Airwalker

[celest dome]

You know Skabrus in fantasy ?
That but Dark Mechanicum

Rotting carcass manned by Undead Skaven

[steel ingot]

he did come out on the day of

[celest dome]

-> Servitorised Warp Whale manned by Servitors

[steel ingot]

what was his plan

her plan even

[ripe forum]

I'm considering making a new species or making enemies for the players to fight but I worry it'll come off badly to just make something up

[arctic talon]

he doesn't have one

Well

not one we know of presently lol

[summer mural]

just remake the hrud

[celest dome]

Plenty of story tellers/DM/GM... create their own stuff when needed

[summer mural]

also you can actually get super inventive with nurgle plagues, I think there was one where the plague basically made everyone on the planet sing

[celest dome]

It's sometime needed when you want to create some mistery, but I would usually advise toward having some more known creatures to fight too cause that can be fun for fans of the settings

[steel ingot]

based Blade post

[solid horizon]

Sniping my Wesley to this

[rancid cove]

Humanity first mfs when the human isnt white

[storm jungle]

oh my god

AGAIN?

also funnily enough black techpriests are ironically extremely non-existant in 40k media lol

im pretty sure only one of the modern RPGs had them in some artworks

[winged jacinth]

I blame that on white being default/ what the artists do most of / the artists are white mostly and skin usually being an afterthought for admech

[rancid cove]

I expect all tech priests to either look corpse pale due to the decaying skin or having no face whatsoever due to mechanical parts hiding their face

The black tech priest is kinda unique tbh

[storm jungle]

That + diverse characters is not whats really on the mind of most western nerd hobbies back then

[solid horizon]

Yeah ad mech is usually represented as corpse like pale

[storm jungle]

A lot of techpriest art has them showing tons of human/normal skin

[solid horizon]

Doesn't mean pale black people don't exist

[storm jungle]

the corpse thing is like very specific stuff

[winged jacinth]

It would be funny if one of the basic mechanicus procedures just killed all your melanocytes for some reason

[rancid cove]

Eyesee

[winged jacinth]

But they're not albinos

[solid horizon]

I like corpse aspect, I think it fits well the cyborg mania taking over their humanity

[storm jungle]

I mean

every techpriest is his/her/their own person

so its not really universal either way tbh

[solid horizon]

True

[winged jacinth]

I don't think you'd lose skin melanin either way

[storm jungle]

Nah you dont

black people get like uhhh

grey-ish skin when they go pale for that corpse skin

[solid horizon]

Just kinda funny since DoW usually goes full universal representation

[storm jungle]

Yeah especially a lot more than 40k media from that day

i remember people being shocked Librarian Jonah was a black dude 😭

[solid horizon]

One of my skitarii is black but man it's hard to paint when you dont have required colors

[winged jacinth]

Melanin does degrade in UV but unless something specific happens your melanocytes will keep making it
Like techpriests don't usually have translucent hair

They've never told us but i imagine tech priests get haircuts or at least shaves and they still shed and grow new skin they're just sallow

[storm jungle]

Again depends from techpriest to techpriest, none of them really get told what not to do minus the extremes

[winged jacinth]

Gw give us a techpriest with a hightop fade

[solid horizon]

Tech priest with monk cut when

[storm jungle]

realistically every techpriest would look unique from each other minus having matching cloak colors depending on their forgeworld

but they dont because its very needless effort for animators/artists lol

[arctic talon]

Ngl

[winged jacinth]

Im basing this on like
They're humans and killing all your melanocytes would be a task

[arctic talon]

Jonah’s skin looks so smooth now

In the new Dow game lol

[winged jacinth]

Which you could accomplish if you're one of the techpriests who's full of icky goop all the time

[solid horizon]

Secretly blessed by big S

[arctic talon]

The mini team deserves the torment nexus, unique robe lining for every forgefane on every forgeworld

[arctic talon]

Tbf the some priests replace all their blood with an alternative sometimes

That cannot be good for your melanin lol

[timid pasture]

Why couldn’t the emprah just remove angrons butcher nails?

[arctic talon]

plot™

It was too advanced for him

apparently

[timid pasture]

Wym

[storm jungle]

• Plot because we need him to turn traitor as its destined in modern lore, he simply just cant do biomancy to remove them for "reasons"
• The book says he simply cant because it would kill him, and the Emperor says a broken primarch is still a primarch thus a useful tool

[timid pasture]

It would’ve killed him?

[arctic talon]

yeah

it would have fucking killed him

even if removed + biomancied

[timid pasture]

Ohhhh

Poor Angron

[storm jungle]

yeah which makes no sense

but you know lol

[timid pasture]

Even though he had every chance to change

After Nuceria

[arctic talon]

tbf

angron was a fucking coward

post nuceria

all he did was talk about how he hated the emperor

and wanted to kill him

while doing fucking nothing

And mutilating his own "sons"

Angrons actions are only justifiable until he takes control of the world eaters

[timid pasture]

He was too stuck wallowing in his past

[heady rivet]

By Odins fade...

[vital ginkgo]

Are space marines more resistant to chaos corruption than a normal human?

[storm jungle]

Not really no

Marines can fall or follow chaos for a myriad of reasons

ranging from being tricked, arrogance, piety, etc

its endless

[heady rivet]

If anything these fuckers are MORE likely to fall to chaos if we count them as a percentage. 50/50 aint good...

[storm jungle]

Im 99% sure this is literally said at one point lol

[arctic talon]

Custodes

lol

they say it all the fucking time

[storm jungle]

nah wasnt them

[hallow saddle]

Plot because we need him to turn traitor as its destined in modern lore

This is the main reason for sure... like angron was a traitor in the lore for like 30 irl years before the HH stuff was actually written

[storm jungle]

100%

[hallow saddle]

everything else is just justifying it. the nails couldnt be removed cause its his and the world eaters lore in 40k

[storm jungle]

but like its not that important because even without the nails Angron even as a good guy would rebel due to growing up as a slave unless the authors made him a hypocrite like Corax

[heady rivet]

The Horus Heresy is a book series where the ending was pre-determined for decades before it was written

[storm jungle]

Its the same reason why so many of the traitor primarchs have such cartoony backstories that just goes "yeah this guy is evil"

[solid horizon]

Spacechuds are petty mfs so heck no

[storm jungle]

You could literally rewrite Curze to be a vigilante for justice that doesnt commit insane mass murder and make it in a more heroic light

but its the opposit ebecause we need him as a villain

[solid horizon]

Part of the contract

[storm jungle]

its the same reason why the Night Lords are pre-destined to be edgelords

[storm jungle]

Yep lol

"You are playing the bad guy, you signed up for it, do your thing"

[solid horizon]

Tbh night lords were designed as edgelords

[heady rivet]

I love Curze and the Night Lords

[solid horizon]

In an alternate reality, peter turbo consecrates his life to artistic expression

Wait-

[storm jungle]

Yea its very easy to rewrite them as heroic figures

[winged jacinth]

I love the hitler art thing
A: he was applying to what was basically art grad school not introductory
B: his art was dogshit

He only drew buildings and he couldn't fucking get perspective right on straight lines

[solid horizon]

Loyalists are mega war overlord with barely any side aspect that is not dedicated to war or violence

Hilter had no originality

[timid pasture]

FOR ANGRON!!

[winged jacinth]

I was better at drawing perspective when i was 11 than hitler was doing his portfolio

[solid horizon]

And wasn't innovative enough for places that asked to be innovative

[timid pasture]

was Fulgrim always evil?

[winged jacinth]

Yeah lmao

just draws real buildings
draws them bad even though he can just look at them

[hallow saddle]

yeah

emperors children, world eaters and the black legion are the original 3 chaos legions from way back in the 80s

[rancid cove]

Foolgrim

[timid pasture]

He was pretty though

[winged jacinth]

The emperors children basically started as the late aeldari empire and then speedran the fall lol

[solid horizon]

Alpha legion too iirc

[hallow saddle]

nah in realm of chaos: slaves to darkness its just those 3

[rancid cove]

https://tenor.com/view/they-got-him-ted-ted-show-gif-4342699035732514153

[timid pasture]

Well Sanguinius is pretty good looking too

[rancid cove]

Already got them.

[hallow saddle]

khorne and slaanesh, then nurgle and tzeench in the second one

[solid horizon]

I think night lords and iron warriors as well but only as decals lol

[heady rivet]

Are you saying Hitler was hot

[rancid cove]

Yesh but he's a vampire therefore it makes him hotter

[heady rivet]

Wait what are we talking about

[solid horizon]

Hitler is cold now

[winged jacinth]

They should have made sanguinis look more angelic

[solid horizon]

Young Hitler looked like a 20s young man

[timid pasture]

Well sad thing he gave up all his beauty and charm to become an ugly ass snake looking thing with 4 arms

[heady rivet]

My favorite Hitler story is

[winged jacinth]

Young hitler looked normal
Young stalin had style

[timid pasture]

Daemon prince mortarion? Angron and magnus look way more decent and less freakish

[solid horizon]

Same reason why beautiful people go under the knife irl

[winged jacinth]

It better be about his cousin

[timid pasture]

ye…☹️

[timid pasture]

Wym by that

[solid horizon]

Stuff

I mean stuff

[heady rivet]

In WW1 he used to go on these rants and scold all his squad members for sleeping with French girls and "ruining your Germanic blood" or whatever.

And then historians found very credible evidence he was sleeping with and had a French GF during the war

[heady rivet]

Young Stalin was ugly, that image is edited. He had pox scars like crazy

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/frank-castle-wait-please-stop-please-no-please-gif-21133188

[winged jacinth]

Hitler had a cousin in england and when asked how the moustache came about she said "he started shaving it down and then, as he so often did, he went much too far"

[heady rivet]

Hitler was just like, a dude

[winged jacinth]

Didnt everyone have mf pox scars

He had a cool haircut

[heady rivet]

As was the style at the time

[solid horizon]

Hitler had a very fashionable moustache at the time

[heady rivet]

Which is hilarious, btw

[heady rivet]

Yeah Charlie Chaplin used to be the poster image of it

[solid horizon]

Toothbrush style echoed with male modernity

[winged jacinth]

Give me 4 pox scars for a bumblebee we used to say

[solid horizon]

If you look at old comic books

A lot of non nazi characters have toothbrush mustaches

[winged jacinth]

The stache anecdote is mostly funny because of the way his half-sister-in-law (misremembered as cousin) Bridget Hitler put it

[solid horizon]

Well yeah brits had strict facial hair etiquette

[winged jacinth]

I like to imagine it in recieved pronunciation like the queen

[hallow saddle]

actually i just flicked through slaves to darkness and the nails and angron arent mentioned, must be 2nd or 3rd edition they were expanded

[arctic talon]

butchers nails are 3e for sure

[hallow saddle]

but this is their original lore

[arctic talon]

latest

[winged jacinth]

I think "psychosurgery on recruits brains..." is the precursor to the nails

Paragraph 2

[hallow saddle]

yep

they all have early hints

ill paste the EC one too, the named character is Fabius Bile (basedbasedbased)

[solid horizon]

Ah yes early Fabius Bile rules

[hallow saddle]

u can see where a lot of the lore developed from

[solid horizon]

Makes enemies fucking explode

[winged jacinth]

Wtf are personalities lmao

[hallow saddle]

like characters

u make ur own champion of chaos

theres like flow charts and everything

[winged jacinth]

Oh i guess that's probably the extra point cost of the mount

[hallow saddle]

slaves to darkness is still a sick book

[winged jacinth]

"Any number of personalities can be mounted on juggernauts..." made me think you were putting like 8 guys on one lmao

Extra brains like cawl

[hallow saddle]

and to round it off here's the black legion (just 3 legions originally)

[solid horizon]

"Black Legion special rules"

Never happened again

Might be a personal impression but

Is it me or barely anyone has a black legion army

As opposed to the rampant amount of ultramarines on the loyalist side

[hallow saddle]

yeah u deffo don't see many thats for sure

[wind hornet]

I know tech priests understanding of technology is shoddy but is this actually doing anything in lore

[storm jungle]

yeah

its literally the same as IRL

they are just blessing things with incense

the smoke they spread is suppose to be "holy" work with the praying process or whatever they are doing it at

Sometimes its just symbolic

[wind hornet]

I know that part but does it actually effect the machines in any way

[storm jungle]

Depends

Again like i said sometimes symbolic sometimes it legit works as we know machine spirits exist

[solid horizon]

Placebo effect

[daring creek]

Better safe than sorry

Machine spirits probably like the smell

[solid horizon]

Reminds me of that old horror game in himalaya where you use incent to regen and push back ghosts

[vital ginkgo]

Can a demon prince be any class of demon or are they only higher, more powerful demons?

[rancid cove]

arent daemon princes like

stronger than greater daemons?

[vital ginkgo]

Idk

Maybe

[rancid cove]

I'm pretty sure they're stronger

[solid horizon]

No

[rancid cove]

a

[solid horizon]

Maybe

Idk

[vital ginkgo]

Real

[solid horizon]

But I think no

[rancid cove]

I think I'm getting them confused with daemon primarchs

[vital ginkgo]

Maybe none of us know

Maybe that's the nature of the warp

[solid horizon]

Daemon primarchs are daemon princes technically no ?

[vital ginkgo]

Demon primarchs are demon princes I know that

But there must be levels to it

[solid horizon]

Me when im a daemon prince but I realise there is genuine level to ts

[vital ginkgo]

Can a prince be a plague bearer?

[rancid cove]

Yeah

[vital ginkgo]

That's lame

[rancid cove]

Daemon Princes can be pretty much any daemon of origin

[vital ginkgo]

Lol

Imagine

[solid horizon]

Daemon princes of nurgle exist yes

[vital ginkgo]

So would fulgrim be like some varient of a keeper of secrets?

[solid horizon]

No

[hallow saddle]

nah

[rancid cove]

No he is his own thing

[fervent geode]

Not really

Daemon Princes power level with Greater Daemons is something that really depends on the guy

[solid horizon]

Fulgrim is a daemon prince primarch

[fervent geode]

But 90% of the time Greater Daemons are stringer

[solid horizon]

He's more or less of a host

[vital ginkgo]

So they are always a powerful demon? Not like a lesser demon

[fervent geode]

Daemon Primarchs are on the level of the most powerful greater daemons

[fervent geode]

They’ll always be ahead of lesser daemons iirc

[vital ginkgo]

Ok that's what I thought

[hallow saddle]

daemon prince is always powerful, its a mortal who has given themselves fully to chaos and in return has been elevated by the chaos gods themselves

[fervent geode]

You won’t find an ascended looking blood letter

[hallow saddle]

theyll need to have done some seriously notable chaosy shit to become a daemon prince

[solid horizon]

Can't daemon princes also use a host or am I misremembering stuff

I think there was a daemon prince who spawned in a dread in the iron warrior book serie

[hallow saddle]

once theyre a daemon prince they are a daemon in terms of shit they can do

so yeah i think so

[fervent geode]

Yeah they can iirc

They can possess and shit

[hallow saddle]

they can possess stuff, they can be trapped in weapons and stuff like that

[solid horizon]

Me when I kidnap fulgrim in a machine (he is a daemon I don't care)

[fervent geode]

Dark Apostle Maloq Kartho possessed a UM dread

[solid horizon]

Yup this guy

[fervent geode]

It was in a Ventris book

[solid horizon]

A daemon prince with a dread armor must be funky looking ngl

[hallow saddle]

since i have slaves to darkness open already...

theres the original lore

[surreal nest]

Idk if anybody has played Lords of the Fallen but this shit is like the pinnacle of grim derp iamverybadass Timmy tough knuckle shit it reminds me of how old heads talked about oldhammer

[plush mason]

it very is lmao

shame the devs are such chud assholes

[solid horizon]

Do daemons emit exhaust gas

[arctic talon]

Oldhammer is goofy tho

Well

[surreal nest]

Going to find the Lords of the Fallen in the Umbral with my Dark Crusader armor

[arctic talon]

1e to 2e

lol

[arctic talon]

Daemon engines do

[solid horizon]

Yeah that's why I'm asking

[surreal nest]

Bad dark fantasy written by chuds? No.....

Not possible......

[arctic talon]

Normal daemons don’t unless you count breathing fire

lol

For daemon engines I’d assume the engine part is why they need exhaust

[solid horizon]

So I guess daemon engines do need fuel to run

Some daemon engines have exhaust directly connected to the daemon barrel/container thing

[arctic talon]

Woke killed gaming

THIS IS WHY MY GAME IS BETTER

what the fuck is even going on in that art

Is it a daemon growing out a dread lol

[young pecan]

50% of "Grimdark" settings are underwhelming, 25% of them are chuddite My Original Character fantasies, 24% of them are Goblin Slayer-esque, and 1% of them are actually good

[solid horizon]

Yes

Daemon prince who was summoned inside of a UM dread

It’s Maloq Kartho, Word Bearers Daemon Prince who’s just possessed a UM Dreadnought

[fervent geode]

A lot chonkier too imo

Esp near the head/chest

Tbh it's not exactly true

They are relatively similar in terms of proportion, but the new one has a very different visual flow that makes it look chunkier

[fervent geode]

Probably ye

[solid horizon]

Its chassis is much bigger tho

I went to the model store today, there is no way in hell GW sells the Horus Heresy skitarii marshall for 37€ 💀

Like come on it's a single guy who is identical to regular infantry guys

[rose thorn]

i will say it looks REALLY GOOD with normal 40k skitarii

[arctic talon]

they just sit around being fucking miserable all the time

[solid horizon]

Price of marshal be it 30k or 40k is a fraud imo

[arctic talon]

I found it

the Nighthaunt

The 30k marshal is so shit rules wise 💀

I really wish they weren't

[solid horizon]

So shit you can elect a new one lmao

[arctic talon]

what a shithole

[solid horizon]

Adeptus democraticus

[arctic talon]

Nighthaunt just sit around being fucking miserable

[arctic talon]

The mechanicus is the only subfaction within the Imperium that is remotely democratic

Which is to say they hold elections and have a parliment

[nocturne crest]

Odd question, but should techmarine dreadnoughts be a thing.

[arctic talon]

Not that the average person or even tech priest gets a say

[arctic talon]

they are a thing in lore

Holy shit defiler in natural state

[nocturne crest]

Oh damn.

[plush mason]

arent they slaved to Nagash's will and literally only exist when he wills it? i would be fucking depresed as hell too in that case

[rose thorn]

i was looking up insect models to kitbash into sylvaneth

[rancid cove]

what the actual fuck

[arctic talon]

kitbash lmao

[rancid cove]

[rose thorn]

WHAT THE HELL IS THE HEAD FROM LMAO

[fervent geode]

THIS IS HALLOWEEN THIS IS HALLOWEEN

[arctic talon]

nah they exist outside of Nagash's will nowadays

but they are still enslaved to his will

to an extent

[solid horizon]

[solid horizon]

My army has a tech priest that was trapped in a Dreadnought body by a former associate now dark magos to serve as bodyguard and battlefield engineer

I need to stick tendrils on it now

[fervent geode]

[solid horizon]

And a head eventually

[arctic talon]

these guys are so fucking cooked 💀

[nocturne crest]

I could see them making a Dark Magos version of the Defiler.

[rose thorn]

guess the movie this comment is on

[solid horizon]

Holy grail

[rose thorn]

nope, it erleased in 2018

[fervent geode]

Peter Rabbit

[rose thorn]

nope, its the Blackkklansman

[fervent geode]

Oh

I thought that came in 2019 lol

[rose thorn]

apparently all the comments on the movie are like 67 jokes and neo nazis lmao

[fervent geode]

Duality of Man

[languid meadow]

the only joke I remember people made about that movie was the classic: Adam your line was "yeah drive away"

[fervent geode]

I remember that bit about the lie detector test and the klansman wanting to see other klansman dick or smth

[glass drum]

Yep that was in there, but it was to see for himself that jews are ya know....||circumszied||

Friend of mine went to NW and chicago and he said he actually met ppl with neo nazi tattoos on them 💀

[fervent geode]

Oh yah

[nocturne crest]

Grim-dark idea: Imperial Guard / agents of inquisition get commissar cain as a unit, but he's in a dreadnought.

[glass drum]

Lore accurate Cain would probly be lucky enough to avoid a dreadnaught internment
But then again dreadnaughts are for astartes

[nocturne crest]

So it would be an honour to anyone but Cain.

[rose thorn]

non space marines cant go in dreads plus his corspe is like literally dust rn lmao

[nocturne crest]

What about using that Pentient engine variant that keeps a traitor sister alive

[rose thorn]

that is a fate owrse than death

also i dont think they are permanent fixtures

[timid pasture]

Chaos are the good guys!

[languid meadow]

no chaos are worse because they violate copywrite law by using the imperiums baby blender for their own uses

“Adam wasn’t even supposed to be in this movie, he just showed up and did all of that”

[rancid cove]

I kinda hate and love this thing of

average chud: they made it political!

[daring creek]

No no

It's not that they made it political

its that it has politics they don't like

Politics: the presence of a black person.

I like this

[tough haven]

A single hit from a gauss flayer demolishing the tech priests

This is near space marine levels of power fantasy

[daring creek]

I mean its what the gauss flayer does

It's anti armor by default

and I like it a lot

why do these necron warriors gotta have the aim of Stormtroopers bruh

its not right

[arctic talon]

Plot armor next question

[storm jungle]

^

its legit hilarious how much they fucking miss at POINT BLANK range

[daring creek]

The one argument you could make is their aimming systems degraded after being asleep for so long but even then

Like

ONE

hit

at least

[rancid cove]

there is no argument its just plot

[daring creek]

arent the guns attached to them tho

how would you lose it like that

i cant wait for oliver to solo him

[summer mural]

its in like 40 minutes right

THE FINALE

[crystal forum]

is it??

[summer mural]

30 min

[summer mural]

ITS OUT

[daring creek]

I played deadlock tonight

Its actually kinda fun

[jade holly]

So I’m thinking of a rogue trader homebrew but I don’t know how more possible it is

It involves a stolen Labyrinth with a Deceievr shard and Necrodermis

[daring creek]

Whats out

[jade holly]

Final invincible episode of the season

[daring creek]

Oh

Lmao

[celest cedar]

it is

[daring creek]

I like mina

Im kinda getting it....

[urban spire]

deadlock's fine

some people get hit with the riot stink and think all mobas are bad

but nah mostly just league

[undone elm]

What deadlock is missing is the ability to break the tension by starting a conga line or challenging an opponent to rock paper scissors

[daring creek]

Maybe theyll do that

[celest cedar]

https://youtube.com/shorts/5pvSb4eDOjk carl..

[summer mural]

well I saw the invincible finale and Im not going to spoil since it came like an hour ago

but all Il say is, Thragg is one cunning bastard.

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-i-am-invincible-thragg-viltrumite-viltrum-empire-gif-4698577271704049137

[crystal forum]

eve is THICC

[summer mural]

yeah

[crystal forum]

she looks better i'd say

but i have my type

[summer mural]

id agree

i found her uh..more attractive than shes ever been

[crystal forum]

she got that realistic body standard now

🫦

[summer mural]

that last scene though

thragg is one scary mfer

[crystal forum]

kregg as a biker getting mad pussy

[summer mural]

tbh, all I hope now is that mark actually tells everyone what happens early on next season and doesnt keep it to himself

[crystal forum]

lucan literally looks like steve harvey now with the suit

[summer mural]

because hes the type to keep it to himself and agonize over it with his now hot gf

kregg is funny af

hes literally just boozing and biking

[crystal forum]

well he said he'd debrief

and cecil is aware of the situation

[summer mural]

no as in

about the viltrumite plan

[crystal forum]

oh i think it's better if he doesnt say

[summer mural]

ehh, its just more drama

because hel agonize and torture himself and theyll all go about earth doing earth hero stuff till something inevitably gives

just tell them right away and come up with a plan

[crystal forum]

nah they wont go hero mode

thragg said they'll just blend in

[summer mural]

well theyl have to do something lol

[crystal forum]

maybe some of them might learn to become more human like nolan did

[summer mural]

plus I think someone like cecil and nolan can actually come up with a plan that minimizes casualties

maybe

i wouldnt count on it though, nolan had to be happily married and have 2 kids to soften him and even it was uh..it took a bit

[crystal forum]

idk i think having like 37 viltrumites on earth is a bit too much for them

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-omni-man-nowl-ahn-markus-sebastian-gif-8463161613279029774

[crystal forum]

i cant believe paul is gone btw

that was so sudden

[summer mural]

well

I also lowkey appreciate debbie leaving

shes always got this crazy death flag over her

[crystal forum]

idk i feel like they had a good thing

[summer mural]

and that angstrom levy shit actually happened

they had a great thing tbh

paul is like

perfect

[crystal forum]

i guess the show needs her to get back with nolan

[summer mural]

problem is hes smart enough to be right, man knows debbies involved in space wars

[crystal forum]

which kinda sucks

[summer mural]

and a genocidal alien ex husband can just show up at their door whenever he likes

like I think paul can actually do better than debbie

[crystal forum]

he seemed happy

[summer mural]

maybe hel be happier with anissa

shes available now

[crystal forum]

can you imagine

hey debbie here's my new girlfriend

a fucking viltrumite

[summer mural]

also she sexually assaulted mark

so theres that.

[crystal forum]

imagine if conquest was alive to repopulate on earth

we'd finally have carl

[summer mural]

LOL

[crystal forum]

"they even gave me a cool name"

[summer mural]

you know its also actually possible some of the viltrumite dudes become serial killers

and they start butchering people in back alleys because of superiority

its possible they just blow their cover

[crystal forum]

i think they're too scared of thragg to disobey him

like we saw anissa getting catcalled and not immediately killing the douchebags

[summer mural]

well I guess its also true that they literally will not fly anymore

kregg is biking around the place

that cant be easy for a viltrumite

[crystal forum]

kregg is living the life

[summer mural]

they just gotta obey for the sake of the race

[crystal forum]

i NEED to know how he speaks to women

i mean he had one all over him

[summer mural]

well I mean

hes got an eyepatch

[crystal forum]

true

[summer mural]

a bike and a bottle

and hes ripped

[crystal forum]

eyepatch and motorcycle

[summer mural]

I dont think he needs to do much talking

also he actually looked he was enjoying himself

[crystal forum]

so i wonder if they'll all just bang as many people as possible or like actually father the children

the males at least

[summer mural]

well depends on the person

[crystal forum]

wouldn't it be useless to just bang everybody since they'd just grow up as mark did without a cruel viltrumite parent

[summer mural]

if the kids actually reach age they are definitely going to give them the treatment nolan gave mark, and nolans dad gave him, I think one thing thats not gonna happen is the viltrumites mellow out, it took a lot for nolan to get there

[crystal forum]

i wonder if this means we'll get a time cut

next season

jump forward 18 years

[summer mural]

well also , I wouldnt be surprised if cecil actually learns very quickly that the viltrumites are on earth and he just keeps them under observation

[crystal forum]

oh wait and yeah the kids wouldn't even have powers until they're late teens

[summer mural]

the ultimate question still exists though, which is why mark agreed to what he did

they have no way of handling thragg

[surreal nest]

|| I'm surprised conquest didnt come up in the Cecil conversation ||

[crystal forum]

isn't it obvious?

he doesnt want to see his family killed

[summer mural]

right

my point was none of it matters until they find a way to stop thragg

because thragg alone can destroy the planet even if they kill all 47 others

[crystal forum]

thats why mark agreed

no point in fighting him now

[summer mural]

I guess they have to shove the scourge virus into his mouth or something

[crystal forum]

there's nothing in the show so far that can defeat thragg

which is wild to admit

[summer mural]

there isnt

hes basically like superman to a race of supermen

remember nolan is like a top tier viltrumite and he cant fight thragg at all

[crystal forum]

im sure mark will just train more until he can eventually one punch man his way out of thragg

[surreal nest]

People calling the finale a let down got adhd or something I swear

Pretty great wrap up

[summer mural]

people dont like the fact that mark has to deal with all the emotional payback from all the fights hes getting into

of course its traumatic

but they just want the plot to move forward

[surreal nest]

This season has been a quadruple bypass burger of action it makes sense that the finale would be calmer

[crystal forum]

we see thragg also getting angry at william's VA change

by ripping off his jaw

[surreal nest]

Yeah idk what they were thinking

[crystal forum]

he turned more fruity

[summer mural]

whos william

[crystal forum]

the gay friend

[summer mural]

ah

also I wouldnt be surprised if monster girl and robot come back from flaxan all levelled up

[surreal nest]

You should not ask questions that could be answered by a comic book spoiler btw

Because someone will

[summer mural]

im scared

[crystal forum]

yeah notice how the two characters who get lost in the time speed universe are the ones who have the younger bodies

[crystal forum]

how about you crush your spine

[surreal nest]

I am the hero here

[crystal forum]

no you're a zero

[surreal nest]

Comic book "people" jump at every chance to spoil the show

[summer mural]

so far ive avoided all invincible spoilers

even though the boys got spoiled for me here and there

[surreal nest]

You could be like "oh man I like atom eve!" And a comic book reader will explain her entire storyline and her end

[summer mural]

aaight, im leaving

[crystal forum]

i dont read comic books because those are for children

[surreal nest]

I haven't read the comics thats not a spoiler dw

Idfk what happens to eve

[surreal nest]

Woah, bright colors and terrible proportions, all in one booklet??? Lucky me!

[crystal forum]

you don't get it, you have to read all 400 issues of this comic book character to understand his lore

[surreal nest]

Erm my favorite marvel character in issue 275 actually out powerscales the movie version

God I hate it when people bring up comic specific shit in like a comic book adaptation when the adaptation is CLEARLY not utilizing that element!

[summer mural]

also

id love to actually see thragg himself blend in

like does he even bother or does he just go sit on everest or something

[surreal nest]

Dude loves aura too much he is gonna sit on a redwood tree with his cape

[summer mural]

he should start a band called King

[wary fulcrum]

I need to understand Viltrumite language enough to figure out why Kregg is pronounced Kreig instead of like Greg

And Thragg is pronounce like rag instead of like Raig

[summer mural]

its just because kregg thinks kregg sounds lame

and he wants to be a edgy space nazi

[crystal forum]

i think he just fucked off

[summer mural]

so he tells folks its pronounced krieg

[crystal forum]

i think he's aware that everybody knows what he looks like

[summer mural]

like a certain singer?

[crystal forum]

or he doesnt want to wear something other than his aura cape

which is understandable

[summer mural]

he should become marks nieghbour

and have beers with him in an effort to turn mark to the viltrumite side

[crystal forum]

mark comes out of his house to see thragg watering the flowers and just staring at him

hello... neighbor

[summer mural]

and then mark has flashacks of his spine being used as a bandana

[crystal forum]

immediate panic attack

[summer mural]

whatd be really awesome is if thragg becomes president

[crystal forum]

conquest wouldn't do this

he'd be the best neighbor

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-conquest-invincible-conquest-invincible-gif-1554453415906877965

[crystal forum]

i have so many friends

everybody loves me

[summer mural]

also theres a good chance that detective from hell figures out theres viltrumites all over the place

[crystal forum]

darkseed i think

idk what the show plans to do with him

it's like all show original stuff

[summer mural]

well so far

he figured out that nolan killed the justice league all by himself

and then cecil, who knew, tossed him into hell

and now they brought him back

hes probably gonna find some guy murdered somewhere and detect a viltrumite did it

apart from that idk

[wary fulcrum]

I Reckon the crushed pelvis from Anissa following orders is a dead giveaway

[summer mural]

[crystal forum]

death by snu snu

now imagine lucan going to pound town...

nobody seems to be reacting to this huh...

[crystal forum]

https://youtu.be/dyIilW_eBjc?si=is5R6sUvcCU73nD1

[summer mural]

well them being on earth also means we are eventually gonna get the earth heroes fighting them

i hope cecil has an entire scene where he jukes thragg with a teleporter like he did nolan

[crystal forum]

nah thragg would just kill cecil before he even teleports

nolan almost did

[surreal nest]

Yeah nolan is a snail compared to thragg

[summer mural]

also I think they hinted at this earlier, but its possible every viltrumite doesnt have to actually die if they just kill thragg

[surreal nest]

I didnt realize that || the first scene of the finale was a nightmare I thought the viltrumites accidentally went to Urath ||

[summer mural]

that intro shot of them was pretty sick

like they're all in black shadow and looking at earth

[wary fulcrum]

Depends if he knows Cecil can teleport

Like, the speed he hit Thaddeus is much faster than the speed he was hitting the others

[summer mural]

well thragg can definitely do that to nolan too

[crystal forum]

he went too fast on thaddeus

[summer mural]

im pretty sure he actually hasnt tried to kill anyone except thaedus

and maybe oliver

[crystal forum]

he didnt even try to kill oliver

it was like swatting a fly

conquest tried

i really will never undestand how conquest is so much weaker than thragg if he's spent so much time fighting and he's way older

[summer mural]

thragg is especially bred

hes a superior viltrumite

conquest and nolan and the others are the same, just got different skill levels

well hes bred or trained idr, but he was basically made to be the best from birth

[wary fulcrum]

It’s the Nazi Ubermensch subplot

[wary fulcrum]

For sure

But would he to Cecil

I mean, if the bus is 10 foot away do you sprint full whack or that awkward half jog?

[summer mural]

well cecil can probably get away with it once

but once thragg knows he can tp he can probably catch him unlike nolan

[wary fulcrum]

My point really

Imm gonna be honest, aside from a couple of set pieces (Conquest swatting Oliver)

The animation hasn’t been great

I’d kind of love a fan edit with all the slo mo’s played at normal speed

[crystal forum]

the invincible studio has a small amount of animators for its budget

it's pretty crazy that they have less animators per episode than smiling friends

[celest cedar]

budget goes to hollywood actors

[crystal forum]

it's sad to see

especially since like 90% of people dont even realize most of the "star actors" are even there

did you know rhea seehorn is in the show?

i didnt until recently

[summer mural]

shows got star power yeah

the conversation between nolan and thragg was JK Simmons and Lee Pace

Conquest is Jeffrey D Morgan

[crystal forum]

JK simmons was a valid choice since he's already pretty famous as a voice actor

and his voice is just perfect for nolan

[summer mural]

Lee Pace is great, hes literally among the best at playing dignified villains

[crystal forum]

i cant really get behind conquest's voice because like it could have been literally anybody else

yeah JDM's voice is recognizable but i wouldn't call it iconic like JK simmons

[summer mural]

well that im so lonely stuff is pretty good in morgans swaggering voice

JK Simmons is legendary yeah

[crystal forum]

im not saying he did a bad job

he did great

like aaron paul did great too as powerplex

but the fact that the show's animation has to suffer due to their inclusion is inexcusable

[summer mural]

rhea seehorn reminds me, I still havent seen Pluribus, ive heard its supposed to be really good

[crystal forum]

it's good

watch it just for the cinematography

[summer mural]

its made by vince gilligan no? i mean mans got an insane track record

[crystal forum]

vince gilligan has infinite budget for it

he really flexes a ton

like really crazy expensive shots

it's a beautiful looking show

[summer mural]

i gotta finish foundation first

that show is heavily carried by lee pace playing an evil emperor

https://tenor.com/view/lee-pace-foundation-gif-23938626

[crystal forum]

i never watched it but i heard it's so different from the books that i probably wont

same as silo

[summer mural]

i havent read asimov

silo is amazing

rebecca ferguson is infinitely watchable in silo

[crystal forum]

i read wool as a teen and i dont want the show to supplant what i imagined in my head, if that makes sense

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/silo-juliette-nichols-rebellion-rebel-hey-you-are-talking-about-rebellion-gif-13522820612968106236

[celest cedar]

scene I watched from that is the scientist dude monologuing about his black hole superweapon while I was scrolling yt shorts

[summer mural]

foundation is okay

[crystal forum]

his books are pretty short by modern standards

especially foundation

very short series of short stories

[summer mural]

its just got high production, huge sci fi premise and really great acting by lee pace

[crystal forum]

also free!

they're public domain

they're THAT old

[summer mural]

id recommend silo over foundation

silo is one of those shows youl keep binge watching because its a tense mystery

[crystal forum]

i already read the book

[summer mural]

rn ive finally gotten to the dark tower series

its been on my list for a long time

[crystal forum]

the stephen king story?

it has a show?

[summer mural]

yeah

no

book

it has an atrocious movie adaption that completely deviates from the book

[crystal forum]

i read the dark half recently which has a similar title lol

[summer mural]

also the worst acting matthew mconaugheys ever done

[crystal forum]

i should read the second silo book

i noticed my dad has it

[summer mural]

the dark tower so far is

well

im on the 5th out of 8 books

and so far its really good

because like

[crystal forum]

what is it about

[summer mural]

he wrote the first book when he was 19

and the second book, which is one of the best, has a huge jump in the quality of writing because he wrote it much later

its kinda like song of ice and fire in that he wrote the series over a huge span of time, but its actually finished

[crystal forum]

stephen king actually finishes his stories

usually

(that is not always a good thing)

[summer mural]

the premise of the story is that " the man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed"

its like an alternate world thats not earth, its almost post apocalyptic, and the mc is a guy called the last gunslinger, because in this world gunslingers used to be like a special order of knightly types

[celest dome]

King wrote a lot of good books
But sometime you realise it's the coke writing things

That infamous sewer scene

[crystal forum]

he also has a lot of less good books

[summer mural]

king wrote cujo, and he said later it was during his coke binge phase and he literally doesnt remember writing it

[crystal forum]

his books are good at staying in your head for a while, if anything

even if some can be incomprehensible

i tried reading tommyknockers

[flat nimbus]

Dark Tower is such a mixed bag

[summer mural]

yeah it gets a bit all over the place as the series progresses

[flat nimbus]

You might be able to gather I have feelings about Stephen King from my username lol

[summer mural]

the first 4 books are pretty good

but the 5th and 6th are kinda sprawling

[flat nimbus]

Yeah, after Wizards and Glass it gets a bit

[crystal forum]

here's what king had to say about tommyknockers btw:

[flat nimbus]

yeah

[crystal forum]

"There's really a good book in here, underneath all the sort of spurious energy that cocaine provides, and I ought to go back."

[flat nimbus]

…to the cocaine?

[summer mural]
