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

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

dune was science fiction fantasy

the original star trek, the twighlight zone vs Star Wars (original) and Lord of the Rings
