don't think they will succeed, considering

2020-04-02 21:25:02 UTC  

instead of the emperor of man

2020-04-02 21:25:10 UTC  

its the emperor of man*kind* in 40k

2020-04-02 21:25:10 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:25:13 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:25:20 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:25:28 UTC  

instead of archaeon the everchosen its *abaddon* the everchosen

2020-04-02 21:25:40 UTC  

WH fantasy got nearly killed with age of smegmar tho

2020-04-02 21:25:40 UTC  

Og 40k is great for that reason, lol

2020-04-02 21:25:45 UTC  

instead of sigismund the magnificent its *fulgrim*

2020-04-02 21:26:05 UTC  

i was never big into 'fantasy-futurism'

2020-04-02 21:26:10 UTC  

instead of the vampire counts

2020-04-02 21:26:11 UTC  

its the tau

2020-04-02 21:26:14 UTC  

etc. etc.

2020-04-02 21:26:16 UTC  

It’s grown far beyond though

2020-04-02 21:26:22 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:26:36 UTC  

considering star wars was so big

2020-04-02 21:26:42 UTC  

its probably the bigger genre

2020-04-02 21:26:46 UTC  

Most of popular scifi isn't classic scifi

2020-04-02 21:27:01 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:27:09 UTC  

Yep

2020-04-02 21:27:13 UTC  

star wars, even the original was.. blah

2020-04-02 21:27:21 UTC  

ok boomer

2020-04-02 21:27:26 UTC  

ITS HAPPENING

2020-04-02 21:27:26 UTC  

bit late side

2020-04-02 21:27:30 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:27:49 UTC  

which incidentally isnt a movie

2020-04-02 21:27:55 UTC  

and thus is pretty hard to compare

2020-04-02 21:27:58 UTC  

lol

2020-04-02 21:28:08 UTC  

no shit, sherlock

2020-04-02 21:28:26 UTC  

so why are you comparing them

2020-04-02 21:28:28 UTC  

??

2020-04-02 21:28:35 UTC  

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

2020-04-02 21:28:43 UTC  

i am not talking about the medium

2020-04-02 21:28:48 UTC  

i am talking about the genre

2020-04-02 21:28:57 UTC  

And yet it was still respecting the original genre, as you say

2020-04-02 21:29:07 UTC  

But there are very few movies like that

2020-04-02 21:29:15 UTC  

dune was classic sci fi

2020-04-02 21:29:17 UTC  

Star trek gets kinda close, but it's padded with action for obvious reasons
