40k goes back to the early 80s, IIRC.

they respected the original story arc

They’re working on it MA

@ManAnimal They're normie-fying it now.

trying to

it was a science fiction version of their existing fantasy franchise

don't think they will succeed, considering

instead of the emperor of man

its the emperor of man*kind* in 40k

I love how a goofy one-off totally trounced and eclipsed the original in popularity <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

It’s facing the problem where they just push out mediocre product in large numbers more and more

money is all about gone for non-profitable, quality entertainment, like hollywood

instead of archaeon the everchosen its *abaddon* the everchosen

WH fantasy got nearly killed with age of smegmar tho

Og 40k is great for that reason, lol

instead of sigismund the magnificent its *fulgrim*

i was never big into 'fantasy-futurism'

instead of the vampire counts

its the tau

etc. etc.

It’s grown far beyond though

which is rather a different genre from traditional 'sci-fi'

considering star wars was so big

its probably the bigger genre

Most of popular scifi isn't classic scifi

sci-fi always was 1) an extention of current reality and 2) dealt with the human conditon

Yep

star wars, even the original was.. blah

ok boomer

ITS HAPPENING

bit late side

nothing compared to something like Arthur C. CLarke's Childhood's End

which incidentally isnt a movie

and thus is pretty hard to compare

lol

no shit, sherlock

so why are you comparing them

??

but even Kubrick's file was totally different from the novel
