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
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
i am not talking about the medium
i am talking about the genre
And yet it was still respecting the original genre, as you say
But there are very few movies like that
dune was classic sci fi
Star trek gets kinda close, but it's padded with action for obvious reasons
