Why do you worship this again? It is literally Rick&Morty but 40k

>>96773356 (OP)
Buy an ad.

>>96773356 (OP)
because it's NO GIRLS
do like girls annon? are you a fag?

How to tell me you haven't watched either show in 6 words

>>96773356 (OP)
I dunno, ask >>>/co/

>>96773356 (OP)
40k fans need their 5 minutes of validation, they're creaming themselves over glep painting some warhammer in the background of smiling friends afterall

they're also too retarded to realise it's making fun of them too

>>96773407
Sounds to me like these guys need to learn some serious media literacy!

>>96773407
The chuds don't understand that Space King is ripping into them

>>96773437
>look! hatemonger says "you're not canon!" before killing the woman, they CLEARLY align with my political views!
>just ignore how they portray him as extremist and homoerotic about the whole topic!

>>96773450
i just think hatemonger is funny. i liked when the hate mace did the sniff sniff xD

>>96773391
In fact I did, my friend, care to grace us with an actual answer?

>>96773407
That's the thing, if anything the show is ridiculing the whole fan base. Btw I don't hate it, it made me chuckle a couple of times, but I really don't get the hype, not even as a satire

>>96773437
>>96773450

>>96773356 (OP)
I watched it. It was tiresome. It took something out of me. Too self referential. Americans just aren't funny.

>>96773356 (OP)
I find it funny. Don't care who it's ripping into, it's entertaining.

>>96773356 (OP)
My Grandfather ripped the teeth out of left wing pigs in Spain during the civil war. He used to joke about how they would start talking about how their victory was inevitable, but in the end beg to be allowed to keep at least one tooth to chew their food. They buried tens of thousands of them outside of the prison camps, everyone had to torture at least one to death, but most would get five or six. It was hard work because nobody wanted to be like the Moroccans, who could kill fifty in a night with their long knives and then eat breakfast. It was a matter of discipline to stretch a leftist out, make him last until morning.

He had a box full of teeth that he would keep on the mantleplace, and sometimes he would put them into a hero jar and shake them, laughing and dancing around. "Mi pequino zurdo, mi pequino zurdo!" he would sing.

Anyway, anything which hurts left wing pigs is good.

>>96773356 (OP)
I like 40k and I'm not so insecure as to not be able to enjoy a parody of it. Space King is funny.

>>96773617
I'm stealing this pasta

>>96773620
>muh insecurity
It's not about insecurity, my friend. I just think the show is kinda lame, that's about it

>>96773602
That's just the fag gitz watching experience.

I genuinely have no idea what are you people talking about in this thread

Idk if memes have been good for 40k. My keen witch hunter proboscis smells Chungoid

>>96773677

>>96773617
The problem is that those "adult" and "parody" cartoons are not hurting left wing pigs, they're making them money.

Also where's the box now?

>>96773662
Unfunny Newgrounds wanna-be Warhammer cartoon. I mean, okay, some of the stuff IS funny but nobody above 20 would actually dedicate whole ass threads to discuss the "lore". It's also pretty juvenile and I am aware I sound old as fuck for saying this but... but brothers PLEASE you're not 13 anymore. Kids see the 2010s the same way you saw the 80s.
Lots of kids love this, so of course /co/ loves this as well. They sure love kids over there!

>>96773686

Ok I believe you now. Sorry pal, I had to check. Have a great day

>make le epic warhammer parody for the boys
>have women on animation team

Lol gay and cringe

>>96773690
I appreciate you have no love for this show, since I agree that it's not something to be worshiped. But that's mainly because I think it should be anathema for any form of /co/ media to be worshiped uncritically, whether it's juvenile bullshit like Space King or tryhard edge comedy shit like Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss or sad clown shit like The Amazing Digital Circus. They're just toons, and I'm a bit juvenile myself. So I don't see anything wrong with laughing as the space marine clones blow up a planet while screaming "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!" It's good for like a laugh before you move on.

>Kids see the 2010s the same way you saw the 80s.
Anon, I could care less about whatever those stupid shits like. They act like Skibdi Toilet shit is somehow revolutionary when I was watching the Gmod idiot box ages ago.

>>96773356 (OP)
>worship
Why are you such a hyperbolic faggot?

>>96773793
Not an answer

>>96773689
I get the impression that the politics of the English-sounding guy with the glasses leans towards barely restrained /pol/ shitposter, so I don't think this show is funding left wing anything.

I like watching the disappointment in the other nerds eyes when I tell them I don't watch YouTube shit amd they shouldn't either.

Then I remind them to paint their miniatures.

>>96773827
It's the same with anything. Any media that clearly falls in line with their views is brave, stunning and revolutionary. Anything that falls outside of that is some thinly veiled attempt at making fun of the other side, all the while shouting 'media literacy!' They wormed their way into everything from cartoons to women's restrooms, it isn't surprising, Although it is sad.

I thought everyone here is a hardcore right-winger?
why would they consume this left-wing content?

>>96773356 (OP)
FlashGitz have been in the animation business since back when AdobeFlash was still a thing, I distinctly remember they did a promotional video for 1st version of Super Dungeon Explore, which must have been like 15 years ago. (Can't prove it though since it was hosted of SodaPop website that went under, doesn't seem to be reuploaded on youtube).
Despite longevity of their business Flashgitz never had, or even attempted, intellectual property of their own and just keep making parodies of whatever is trending or an easy target. And 40k happens to be very easy target for a parody, so they keep milking it in a series
Also they might have noticed success of Bruva Alfabusa who made decent following with his 40k parodies but recently abandoned the project.

>>96773356 (OP)
Because it annoys you in particular.

I actually thought the lunchbox they're trying to sell was cute and would make for a good lunchbox or card case or Kill Team carrier (my guys have magnetized bases) until I saw it was 150 fucking dollars
I don't give a shit about the crap inside. The back of the lunchbox doesn't even have artwork. It's just plain red!

https://flashgitz.shop/products/space-king-3-lunch-box-bundle

we really need to start having kids again. We have too much disposable income going towards stupid shit.

>>96773602
isn't flashgitz a british channel? Idk I've only seen their GW headquarters parody and the original gangster.

They filled the void after Emperor TTS was cancelled.

>>96773437
It's not. Watch the Making Of videos.
The creators are coming from a place of genuine nostalgia for a "simpler time" of action figures, cartoon explosions and calling anything you don't like or understand gay. They're not laughing at chuds, they're laughing with them. They're in it to run a big animation studio making the things that they would have liked to see when they were 9-12 years old.
Don't get me wrong, I think the show's got tremendous potential to take the piss out of the Imperium, facism and hypermasculinity. That's just not what the creators seem to have made it to do.

>>96773937
so you are saying they are racist incels?

Space King is literally too high IQ of a commentary for /tg/.
But again, this is 4chan where people unironically cry the hag fag goon power fantasy has stinky gay faggots in it.

>>96773450
Hatemonger is not gay.
He just hates aliens.

>>96773936
For who? Tertiary faggots?

>>96773602
The main writer is a fucking britbong
Anglos aren't funny

Its good fun, I enjoy it.
But it does fuck me up that people are posting this shit everywhere as proof of what Warhammer should be, no girls allowed etc when the creators of the show have said that the characters are 9-12 year old boys in the bodies of adult men.
Then all these people see these characters and go 'they are literally me, these represent my views on the hobby'

>>96773983
Additional proof that this shit is just Rick and Morty.

>>96773923
>isn't flashgitz a british channel?
I believe one of the pair is British and the other is American, I'm not sure what side of the Atlantic they're living on but I'm leaning towards the US as the contact details for their merch webstore lists an American business address.

>>96774009
I don't even like Rick and Morty, but jesus christ you're so fucking stupid

>>96774007
Maybe I'm giving others too much credit, but I always take that as a joke. Watch it with my gf, while reminding her she can't watch. I took the 'no girls allowed' bit as commentary on the tabletop. Not that women should be barred from playing Warhammer, but that the lore/tone/look of the models shouldn't be changed just to appeal to a new audience that more than likely wouldn't have engaged anyway.

>>96773923
Flashgitz Tom is British.
Don is American.
Other other way around, the short glasses gayboy is british the lanky horrorman with a fucked nose is American.

>>96773602
>Americans just aren't funny.
Meanwhile brit "humor" is just saying dumb words in dumber accents followed by lolsorandumb skits. Your average brit comedy goes something like
>this confectioned bar of processed chocolate is posolutely delishy-ous
>bollocks! the masticulation of the confectionable is downright - and downLEFT for that matter - delectionabular!
>pish posh and a paff to both of you! My compatriots, the experience of gestating this rectabular of sugaroid sweetables within my gastronimal systems can only be described as none other than kiddiddlyinglicious
>mm, quite right quite right!
This is followed where a man dressed like a butt in a top hat is chased around by a poorly animated parrot for 23 minutes while a brass orchestra intentionally plays out of tune in a bit they would call "Toot-haven's Third (Bowel) Movement" and be labeled as a cultural treasure.

>>96773356 (OP)
Nobody really worships it. The flashgitz guys were making parody 40k stuff before animating shit with the webcomic Regular Marine and Space King is just them going back to their roots.

>>96773602
The creators are from England.

>>96774013
The British one moved to the US.

>>96774009
You are proving the point, you are either a no functioning aspie or a (cis)woman to miss the incredibly obvious shitpost that space king is. They even spell it out for you, but you are too retarded to get it.
Incredibly funny

>>96774034
Should state I don't mean to say the show itself isn't making a joke about it, I fully believe its from the point of parody and about having a bit of fun, which I can appreciate. My wife watched the latest episode with me as well, though much of it flew over her head regarding the hobby/ 40k reference shit.

Hell how could they have female staff or at least one of them be married if they actually hated women and wanted to gatekeep or whatever.

Its the people who watch the show and think its serious that leave me a bit astounded. But its the classic thing of seeing dumb shit and chanting it over social media, where the initial people doing so may be ironic, but others see that shit and start to believe it or see it as the view to be 'in the know' or whatever.

>>96773937

>Don't get me wrong, I think the show's got tremendous potential to take the piss out of the Imperium, facism and hypermasculinity. That's just not what the creators seem to have made it to do.
So it has tremendous potential to take the piss out of something that is already taking the piss? Are they the same people that saw Scream(1996) and thought that it had potential but it was too subtle and then went and made scary movie(2000)?

>>96774034
It is both that, and also, a small joke about boys playing game without their sisters.
That's it. The ending of episode 3 even makes the joke again at the end.

>>96774034
>Not that women should be barred from playing Warhammer, but that the lore/tone/look of the models shouldn't be changed just to appeal to a new audience that more than likely wouldn't have engaged anyway.
The Hatemonger sermon video that got posted a couple days ago practically beats the viewer over the head with this, they even show off the male vs. female consumer spending statistic that (probably) lies behind a fair chunk of the logic that drives executives make the kind of changes that Space Kind rails against.

>>96774046
>Regular Marine
Damn, I completely forgot about that. Time for a trip through an archive I suppose.

>>96773995
Yes.

>>96773356 (OP)
Space King is nice because it's a show made by men, for men. The humor reflects that. It feels like Rick and Morty because Rick and Morty is another male-oriented show made for primarily male audiences*. Smiling Friends is another show that will "feel" like Space King or Rick and Morty because, again, it was made for men.

*The earlier seasons, at least. I won't get into an argument about the later seasons, but Season 1 was definitely made for boys.

You might as well ask why Amphibia and The Owl House feel similar, because they were made for an expected audience.

>>96773973
They are probably 10% racist incel, lol.
>>96773493
That's not how burden of proof works. Some fag just said "this is rick and morty" and gave no evidence.

But I'll bite anyway.

Flashgitz made space king out of nostalgia. The show shows us its world and makes the statement that cool shit is cool and you shouldn’t be ashamed of liking what you like, as the show never attempts to shame the viewer for siding with the psycho-warriors nor does it engage with the morality of their actions, prefering instead to focus on the personal growth and change of the characters. Chestnut, for example, grows as a person by becoming less of a pussy, hatemonger becomes more intollerant. Genocider has made mistakes because he was brash and now has a cooler head, mostly, anyway.

Rick and Morty have fuckups as a result of their gender, the show goes out of its way to put them down for their masculinity when they are not acting like feminist allies anyway. Rick and morty also goes out of its way to promote a cynical, amoral worldview by having rick figuratively destroy anyone who believes in anything- that is, whenever the show makes them out as anything other than stupid or evil. Literally the only characters in rick and morty who are intellectually superior to rick are evil morty, who exists to tell rick that he has a fragile ego and he should be less "toxic", and his female psychoanalist, who....well, does the same but to his face. Rick really contradicts himself: he will literally genocide entire planets out of boredom and crush universes full of people to power his car battery but also goes out of his way to fight nazis and call them the most evil thing ever.

Genuinely a better and more interesting setting than the entirety of 40k

>>96774311
Ok, fair, thanks for the effort

>>96773356 (OP)
Right because everyone needs a principled stance on why they consume and enjoy the things that they do clearly people cant just enjoy things without shitters like you trying to moral fag about why its actually wrong to like what you like, literally go hang yourself

>>96773493
>In fact I did
No you didn't

>>96773356 (OP)
I don't, and I'm frankly mildly surprised 40Kfags aren't insulted by it'e existence. I mean it is a parody of space marines depicting them as LITERAL manchildren. The creator did comedy parodies of everything from Elon to Connor McGregor to furries before this.

I like it for what it is, I just don't understand what the fuss is or dwell on it much. Frankly I always found the furry murder parodies funnier anyway, mostly because they wholly embraced the idea of furries being the daemon analogues.

>>96774315
Not a high bar at this point, they probably murdered their Yvraine long ago.

>>96774417
After you my man

>>96773356 (OP)
Because it's actually fun and understands Warhammer better than Warhammer does, you stupid gay chud.

>>96774043

>>96773937
omg. You're literally the kind of person that lefties make fun of for saying "You don't have media literacy." They're making fun of the hypermasculine thing, because that's how little boys (like up to the age of 8 or something) play with their toys. There's no sexuality, no deep plot, everything is taken at face value.

I mean, Skibidi achieved a level of popularity that far surpasses anything we watched when we were stupid fucking kids. There's DRAMA PLAYS made out of this non-sense. Meanwhile stuff like team fabulous 2 is purely carried by word of mouth by old men and will inevitably fade away

Kek. Good one
>t. slav

As a 40k player I think 40k memes are terrible. By and large uninspired, and typically just regurgitations of absurd plot points that add nothing to them. That said, this video did get a laugh out of me.
>its rick and morty
I didn’t get that at all. It’s nowhere near as patronizing, preachy, and obnoxious as that show is.
>Its making fun of you CHUD
yeah and I’m not a stuck up cunt so it’s funny.

Warhammer Dethklok is a more apt comparison

>>96774757
It isn't even making fun of Chuds, tom and don ARE Chuds.

>>96774806
honestly I see the resemblance now that you mention it. Metalocalypse was goat tv.

>>96774757
>meme
>absurd plot points
Are you sure you aren't misusing the term "meme"?
Because most 40k memes have nothing to do with 'plot points' and instead poke fun at the excesses and grandiose self-importance of the franchise.

>>96774848
You can make poke fun at people without being hateful about it. Did you miss the intermission where it depicts the entire hobby as being a kids game marketed to adults?

>>96774867
I mean a lot of the 40k memes I see are “when (thing that happens in some BL book) happens” paired with an epic reaction image. or just a drawover of another meme format with 40k characters.

>>96774884
The marketing is to kids too desu

>>96774884
It's a callback to 90's/early 2000's advertising. In any case, they're part of the demographic you're claiming that they're making fun of. You know, the advertisements they and many of those watching grew up with.

>>96774916
Forgot to include this point, but hell, it should be clear enough with the way they're presented, from the acting down to the filter used.

No, its horus heresy, but in 40k

>>96773356 (OP)
Is your worldview fully black and white? Are hate and worship your only alternatives? My impression is that space king, like anything in this contrarian hell hole, is a topic of some contention, but probably veering positive.
I've seen it, it's not amazing, but I don't regret spending time on it.
I think it's poking fun, at the setting, at the chuds, and at the debates. The whole "no girls" thing isn't satirising just one side, it's making a joke out of the whole discussion.
>>96774806
Much better take.

>>96774916
>>96774922
does that have to be mutually exclusive with the other jokes in the bit? the merchandise advertised is a lunchbox with an old fashioned glass and a lighter in it. good humor is nuanced.
>In any case, they're part of the demographic you're claiming that they're making fun of.
so am I

>>96775002
You're looking for things that aren't there. It's nostalgia and fun. Starship Troopers wasn't a satire btw.

>>96773407
Oh yes, tell me about the Media Literacy. Yeah baby, all those chuds are so owned. The Liberals are taking it back baby.

>>96775019

>my Criticism is very Intellectual because I criticize everything
Yeah that's the opposite of complex.

>>96775037
>>96775048
NTA, but be Blessed, both of you.

The fact that FlashGitz is still making nu40kfags, every troon enabler at Nottingham and Quebec, and buttermilk bobs seethe this hard only proves that the man is right.

>>96774441
FlashGitz simply hates modern GW, most of the situation 40k got with the normalfag flood came thanks to TTS because alfabusa got faggots as friends and he being a swedish faggot.

Also, GW began receiving money from Soros after hasbro removed their shares, so... noticers would notice the quick change of tone circa 2016.

>>96774806
Absolutely

>>96775065
What a worthless post

They don't call em fashgitz for nothing
>Catch TNDY2
YEP KINO

>>96775127
you too

>>96774894
I almost never see that. Big plot points are difficult to convey in meme format, and usually are not funny. The far more common memes are things like
>The Tau are naive, communist, and want to fuck humans while also being terrified of them
>Sisters of Battle are all lesbians
>the Inquisition wants to blow up planets even when not necessary
etc

>>96775407
Nah, I know the exact ones he's talkomg about. It's usually referencing some gay BL book plot and then a retraced meme/tv show screenshot. Something like
>that time when Guilliman met the bloodfarters on faggotus prime in the fourth LGBT Crusade
>picture of Danny Devito saying "so anyways I started blasting" from It's Always Sunny but he's redrawn to look vaguely like Guilliman

>>96774894
>>96775407
its because no one actually reads the novels to understand why a scene is neat or interesting.

I have written a few of the novel summaries that get posted on /40k/g and I specifically leave stuff out to show no one actually reads these books.

>>96773407
>they're also too retarded to realise it's making fun of them too
>>96773437
>The chuds don't understand that Space King is ripping into them

>I don't, and I'm frankly mildly surprised 40Kfags aren't insulted by it'e existence. I mean it is a parody of space marines depicting them as LITERAL manchildren.

We're generally fine with ourselves and our interests made fun of in honest low-brow fashions. Self-depreciative humor is a pretty common thing among "the chuds", being correlated to a bunch of masculine and low-class things regarding lesser concern for appearances.

Though as >>96773602 notes such can only go so far before the humor wears out and it just gets kinda awkward; where that line is varies from person to person, and as the creators have such humor as their established style they've already picked up an audience with a fairly high tolerance. It's not remotely a 40k replacement, just Flash Gitz stepping away from GW with their corner of the community.

>>96773450
It's less about the politics and more about lampooning the Female Space Marine arguments.

>>96773690
>I mean, okay, some of the stuff IS funny but nobody above 20 would actually dedicate whole ass threads to discuss the "lore".
Brother, we have a board for My Little Pony to this day, and /co/ routinely talks about mid-2000s cartoons, both including much the same.

Space King does ironic bigotry.
The characters are supposed to be bad for being sexist and immature. They're a little bit the butt of the joke of their horribleness themselves.
But irony can be a permission structure.
The way you're expected to enjoy the series is by self-identifying with the boys from a safe, ironic distance. You don't APPROVE of their actions, that would make you a bigot yourself, but you are endeared by them, because you recognize some aspect of yourself.
It's an affectionate parody of the games little boys play, something the creators are clearly nostalgic about if you watch their commentary.

>>96776905
I disagree. Hatemonger's presentation to the AI in their latest episode is clearly alluding to black people. The ship has sailed on most people even considering that a bad thing. You'll see it all over online, things like "13% of wizards cast 60% of the spells", etc. Flashgitz hate GW (they should) and gatekeeping is the obligation of anyone involved in a hobby that doesn't care to see it distorted. It's presented comedically, but it isn't too subtle. That isn't a bad thing either.

>>96775019
It's well enough to claim something like Warhammer isn't satire because it's a product designed to sell toys but when you apply that same 40kid logic to starship troopers it's retarded. If you actually pay attention to the movie and it's influences it's pretty obvious what starship troopers is trying to say and do.

>>96776978
You haven't read the book. And neither did the director of the film.

>>96773356 (OP)
Space King is 4chan.
Rick and Morty is plebbit.
If you can't see the difference then you're a faggot.

>>96776968
Didn't Hatemonger's presentation lead the robot to outright register his xenophobic ranting as painful and thusly dedicate itself to wiping out the human race due to them proving to be an evil stain upon the universe?

>>96777088
Not exactly. It only knew pain, then it learned hate. The response of the AI is irrelevant, because I very much doubt they were trying to send the message of 'all other races should die to save black people'.

Most people don't consider the woke redefinition of racism to be a bad thing.
Most people still consider actual racism (irrational aversion and associated beliefs about an entire race, even up to the point of violence, not merely statistically backed heuristics nor leftist redefinitions) a bad thing.

>>96778148
I disagree. White people are sick of seeing their countries flooded with illegals, White people are sick of seeing our own being killed by shitskins and receiving little more than a slap on the wrist or crowdfunded legal teams. Ours die and others celebrate. People are noticing and they're sick of it.

>>96778206

Who is receiving a slap on the wrist for a murder conviction in the USA?

>>96778206
I am not white and I have been fighting against anti-white racism for over a decade. This has come at a personal cost. I did this in the face of woke racism. Why wouldn't I do the same against any other form of (actual) racism?
Hell, I don't even think people should be prohibited from not allowing a certain race or group of people from their own private property, including businesses, but the whole point is freedom of association, not some insane racial hivemind bullshit.

You can date whoever you want. But for business, I think that's a terrible idea, otherwise you can make people into second class citizens. Segregation only ended because the government forced it to end.

>>96778218
How many examples do you want? Karmelo Anthony, killed Austin Metcalf in cold blood. He's on HOUSE ARREST, raised over 1,000,000 for his legal fees, his cronies were proven to be intimidating witnesses, comments on the page for his legal funds were filled with thousands of black people basically saying "Good job, young man" "He did the right thing" etc. There's one. I can keep going, but it isn't difficult to find any of this.

He wasn't convicted of murder. He still hasn't had a trial yet. Those people are assuming he acted in self-defense.

>>96778250
>You can date whoever you want.
Sure.
>But for business, I think that's a terrible idea, otherwise you can make people into second class citizens.
Citizenship is a relationship between an individual and a state. A business is not a state ( which is a local monopoly of alllegedly legitimate use of violence). It also goes against private property rights.
>Segregation only ended because the government forced it to end.
I don't think that is the case. It would have faded away, only for some voluntarily segregated enclaves to remain. Again, the actually principled position is freedom of association.

>>96778281
>>96778289
And who was proven to be intimidating witnesses? I can find nothing about that in google.

Anyone else tired of whining crybabies like OP?

>>96778290
>Citizenship is a relationship between an individual and a state. A business is not a state ( which is a local monopoly of alllegedly legitimate use of violence). It also goes against private property rights.
I'm using second class citizen as a metaphor.

>>96778290
>>96778250
Basically, forced integration is as bad as forced segregation. If you do not trust human nature with freedom of association, how come you trust it with the authority to forcefully integrate?

>>96778307
That's a bad argument. You can use that style reasoning to argue against any law at all.

>I appreciate it, but you're a minority of the minority depending on where you live.
I don't think that is the case. I think the culture is bad, but I dont think the majority (literally 50% + 1) celebrates anti-white racism. Ideologues (and those that use them) just have very visible institutions and industries captured.
>You talk, we die at disproportionate numbers.
When considering the general population, blacks die at disproportionate numbers (in the hands of other blacks). Whites and asians suffer disproportionate interracial violence, which is a minority of crimes (but not less important, obviously). The criminal minority remains a minority, even among black people, although their minority is proportionally way larger than other racial demographics.
>I'm sure you can understand why I'm bitter considering the the narrative that's been spun and loudly celebrated regarding my people
Of course, but you have to make accountable those that are responsible, and not some random dude that just happens to belong to a specific demographic.
>>96778328
It is a great argument. It cannot be used to justify a law against murder, for example, since it goes against the will and consent of the victim, unlike freedom of association. There are many other examples like this one to be made, but your thesis ("you can argue against any law with that reasoning") has been proven wrong already.

I mean, that's kind of what they are once you get away from the poster-boy chapters like the Smurfs and the Black Templars. Rogue Trader had the OG marines being resocialized criminals whose lofty reputation was propaganda to cover up how embarrassing they often acted, which manifests in modern 40K with chapters like the Minotaurs and Marines Malevolent being superpowered thugs whose over-the-top dickery would be right at home in 1st edition but clashes jarringly (and occasionally humorously) with the current tone.

>>96773356 (OP)
It's funny, it's congruent to itself, and it doesn't take itself super seriously.

The characters are all deliberately flawed, to the point where they're nothing like the battle-demigods they're meant to be, due to their own decisions and general juvenile retardation. The entire setting is absurdist, yet it all fits neatly together as a cartoony scifi.

It's what made Warhammer great. And what modern warhammer no longer has. Because space marines just can't have any trace of immaturity or fail about them anymore.

Its a simple yet fun entertaiment. I like it more than I thought i would because I have a coworker that is obnoxious w40k fan, which worships GW despite being to poor and talentless to aford and paint some minis.
I loved warhammer fantasy in 90s and early 2000, w40k was always a worse offshoot for me, it had some neet ideas but space murines circlejerk was always a terible part of it.
I give space king 8/10 as comedy and 1-2 points of it are added just because of tackling the issue of how ridiculus serious this universum is treated, while its a simple yet glorified stuff for 12yo. Not that theres anything wrong with adult enjoying it, im a last person to thow a stone when speaking about manchildren hobbies.
Enjoy what you want, just dont be obnoxious sperg about it. Space king doesnt present anything original, but it encapsule what many people already think about w40k hobbists/large part of the w40k universe.
Also gw trying to appeal to new audiance is bad (womenmarines ex.), similar to wotc, they should just lean in more into grimdark, no ressurection shit. It would still feel like a caricature after all those years, but I would prefer it 100% more than what they are trying to sell atm.

My Grandfather ripped the teeth out of Thalmor pigs in Skyrim during the civil war. He used to joke about how they would start talking about how Talos worship being eradicated was inevitable, but in the end beg to be allowed to keep at least one tooth to chew their food. They buried tens of thousands of them outside of Windhelm, everyone had to torture at least one to death, but most would get five or six. It was hard work because nobody wanted to be like the Redguards, who could kill fifty in a night with their curved swords and then eat sweetrolls. It was a matter of discipline to stretch a Thalmor out, make him last until morning.

He had a box full of teeth that he would keep on the mantleplace, and sometimes he would put them into a jar and shake them, laughing and dancing around. "Erik the Red, from Old Rorikstead!" he would sing.

Anyway, anything which hurts High Elf pigs is good.

i watched it and didn't get it, are they all kenny from south park? they just keep dying and next episode they are alive again. seemed a little to quick and witty for me, i need more handholding if i am going to be thrown into some in media res scenario with a lot of action. there's some lasers they need to get, but then the lasers are bad? but then there's a kid or something and he dies? but they harvest his testicles? it was all very fucking weird.

>>96780854
It's a rip on 40k space marines. 40k space marines are boys trained, indoctrinated, and genetically modified with "gene seeds" into giant grotesquely muscular fighting machines in super space armor. So Space King takes the concept and makes it more literal by having "globules" aka geneseed that outright converts immature boys straight into these hyper-muscular men that still think and act like immature boys with daddy issues. That's the entire joke, that the line between hypermasculine warrior and overgrown manchildren is basically the fact they have the guns and bombs to act on their aggressive lizardbrain urges and insecurities. That's why you get shit like "green lasers are cool" and "no girls allowed in the psycho-warriors".

Oh, you're obsessing about the feminine penis again?

>>96777837
In Europoor land, the whole family had to share a bedroom. So the father would order the joke-teller to look outside so a son does not watch his parents having sex. (This likely also served to keep any kind of sexual arousal from developing on the son's part because of the drab landscape.)
When they moved to America, the landscape was so beautiful that the father authentically wanted his son to look at the marvels outside with him. The mother, assuming it to be the usual code that she is about to have sex, turned the father down because she had a headache (a common excuse for wives).

>>96773356 (OP)
For one thing it's a genuinely funny lampoon of 40k that doesn't really insult or mock the original. It's an actual, loving parody of the series that isn't meant to tear it down, but to have fun with the ideas in a humorous way.

Rick & Morty is not "loving" in any sense of the world, it's cruel and deliberate mockery of everything it takes inspiration from. The entire premise of the show is essentially fundamentally mean spirited, because Dan Harmon is an evil gay communist. If you want a good example of Rick & Morty's actual character, imagine putting a laugh track on it. Rick & Morty doesn't have a laugh track because Rick & Morty isn't supposed to be a shared experience of humor, it rather inspires in you contemptuous glee at observing human suffering, if you heard other people laughing at it along with you it would immediately seem sick and deranged, which it IS.

Superking on the other hand has very little of the mean-spiritedness, the joke is that the psycho warriors are psychotic, but there's no pretense that you, the viewer, are in some way smarter or better for enjoying it. There's no subtext of nihilistic misanthropy, rather it's ultimately about a bunch of religious lunatics genuinely trying to do their jobs but fucking up because they're idiots. The meme about "you have to be really intelligent to enjoy Rick & Morty" was such a damning skewer because that is the root of R&M's humor, a sense of superiority, whereas Superking doesn't have that element at all, the protagonists are idiots and their solutions to problems are all brute-force idiocy. It's a much more honest show and it captures old school 40k grimdark absurdity in a charming way. People like it because it's fucking funny.

Yeah it's in the same vein of 40k becoming really popular and more of a cultural staple, but both IP's end up watered down because of that. I don't think that's 100% related to the left, but you do tend to see weird leftist things pop up like how people got grumpy about objectively evil races (Drow, etc.) in D&D.

40k at large is a property for insecure manchildren.

You ever notice how in any conversation where it's relevant, 40kfags will jump in going about how everything in 40k is the biggest and most powerful thing. "My guys could totally beat up your guys" shit like children? Because they're children.

And so they'll trip over their dicks over anything that glazes their childishness. It's why they clap like seals when an actor says he plays 40k. It's why they will watch the most dogshit animated "films." It's why they like that Text-To-Speech series. And it's why they like this.

so why do 40k fans like it? i just collect and paint drukhari, i've never even played a game of 40k, but it seems like they are making fun of the entire fanbase for the marine factions. i'd be far more insulted if someone made a webtoon where dark eldar lore is overly parodied eg. if they made them furries or bdsm gays instead of hedonistic cultists which have fallen to a dark god or even worse if they made them "good guys on the wrong path", when they are basically apocalyptic cenobites from hellraiser. from what i gather the show makes the marines look stupid and evil, but they are supposed to be the good guys in 40k no? if every faction is evil wtf is the point of the game world, that is just depressing and nihilistic.

do marines already have an evil faction, chaos space marines? i don't know much lore but i feel like the same people who complain about inclusivity pushes and more representation in 40k (women, minorities, other cultural influences) also like this show, which ridicules and overlysimplifies their entire fandom. is 40k quipcity deadpool tier now? i always thought it took itself more seriously given all the implications of humanity failing to defend itself against aliens and daemons.

Flashgitz was, perhaps, the worst thing to ever happen to the Warhammer community. It has the same effect Picklerick did for Rick and Morty, and the entire internet

>>96792877
The Imperium are only the "good guys" compared to some of the other factions. They're still a brutally oppressive theocratic regime where most citizens are effectively slaves, but then you have groups like the Deldar or Chaos that can leave you geninely worse off than if you'd remained Malnourished Factorum Laborer #5739201.

>>96787679
I'd love a book about some Death Guard who are just too positive and optimistic to catch on to the whole plague and rot thing going on around them.

Wouldn't be so bad if people didnt run the jokes into the dirt immediately

>>96788125
D&D and these other properties are owned by big corporations that are pandering to left leaning crowds who generally want nothing to do with their lazy products and increasingly to normies who don't know any better, and they count on your retard asses buying into the culture war garbage to use as a scapegoat and to generate outrage to further advertise for them.

Also you dont play games.

>>96793528
"good guys" is a gaslight, theyre just the protagonist. In a xenos story, the Necrons are the good guys, or the Tau, it depends on what youre reading or doing. The imperium is only the ""good guys"" because so much of the 40K universe focuses on them

>>96773356 (OP)
I find it relatively enjoyable, it's not the greatest thing ever but it's fun and more independent animation is good.

>>96792877
>so why do 40k fans like it?
Cause as big and dark and scary as the flavor of the setting presents itself, the setting is also inherently farcical. The big evil tyrannical corrupt xenocidal government spends much of its time fighting its own inefficient bureaucracy as it does the aliens and the heretics. The brutal green space orks treat war as a giant never-ending pub brawl. The wise and cryptic space elves spend eons manipulating others, lying, backstabbing, and laying intricate plans within plans to stave off the ruination of the universe, only for the "heroes" to unintentionally run in and bungle everything because the elves spent so long being chronic liars that nobody believed them the one time they tried to genuinely warn them they were making a mistake. There's an entire evil chaos god whose ultimate goal is to outright outwit and sabotage not only his enemies but also his own plans so that the ongoing galactic war never stops and he never stops losing power.

Like, I like the space marines, but they're not a sacred cow. There were early depictions of them as basically donut eating cops in beaked space armor, after all. You can like something and make humor out of it at the same time, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

>if every faction is evil wtf is the point of the game world, that is just depressing and nihilistic
That's the tagline, anon. "In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war". It's just an excuse to have big guys with big guns shooting aliens and other guys with big guns too.

>i always thought it took itself more seriously
There's an inquisitor named Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau. Games Workshop loves to present the setting as serious now, but it originally started as a giant hodgepodge of science fiction tropes mashed together, and most fans never forgot that it was meant to have some degree of levity with how over-the-top it is instead of being all dour and serious.

>>96793651
Nobody outside of the internet cares about the culture war. The reason D&D has become shit is because of corporations who are milking it dry. Go look at what they release and it’s not rule sheets or models, but instead supplements for Rick and Morty. 40k has had the same issue with GW’s obsession with mobile games for years. This is not the fault of “woke” it’s the fault of corporate greed. You are just mislead by being terminally online.

the creators clearly want to make fun of both sides like south park used to (or pretended to). obviously they are more internet-poisoned and chuddish as a result but they have no interest in any real rightist politics

Some of it lands for me, some of it doesn't.
I am happy with people telling GW to go fuck themselves and respect them for doing what GW originally did, taking inspiration from various sources they enjoy and throwing them together.

Well yeah.
People who obsess over originality usually fail at the first hurdle.
Because the best stories play on archetypes, and hinge on quality execution.
See - The Golden Bough.

The best stories are told over and over again, in different guises.

This is why tarot cards represent archetypes.

>>96788386
When something is considered "dead" by chuds it simply means "people I don't like are engaging with it and I'm no longer being exclusively pandered to".

The cure for this kind of attitude is to just stop eating 50 metric tons of social media rage bait every day and just enjoy your games but alas here we are.

>turning a space marine into a sentient melee weapon to be wielded by another marine
This is something so retarded that I am surprised it doesn't exist in 40k.

>>96797866
You die twice, the second time when people stop talking about you. What people don't realize is that this can happen before the first death.

>>96794148
It's the opposite. There's a bunch of characters with goofy wacky names in an otherwise fairly serious setting. You're not supposed to read that the throne is run by thousands of sacrifices and start chuckling and slapping your knee.

>>96801100
The same setting where painting a truck red and piling enough orks onto it will make it go faster than usual because they believe it hard enough, right?

it's alright i guess

>>96787945
The long march through the institutions as an organized plan is false, but as a "I will use my position as a cudgel for ideology" is true. People who are ideological tools keep their power level down enough to get into a position of power and then ratchet it up to 110%, also making sure to only hire those of similar ideology. Right wingers would do it but it requires keeping your chill and not sperging out like an autist so they fail in that.

>>96800679
The soul cannon honestly was a 40k idea that works too. Maybe for chaos more so but "Harvest the souls of the ancestors of those you fight, then shoot them screaming at the enemy to demoralize them" is peak warhammer.

>>96801698
>The long march through the institutions as an organized plan is false, but as a "I will use my position as a cudgel for ideology" is true
One sentence in and the lefty has strayed from reality

>>96801732
Faggot I am literally saying the left wing long march through the institution happens. It's just not some centrally organized cabal, it's that they are such ideological fucking tools the minute they get an ounce of power they go haywire and try and behave like miniature bureaucratic Stasi.

How am I left wing to be calling out this behavior, given we see it with every fucking IP they've done this to for the past 15 years. It's just not an organized plan from a central committee like some protocols of zion it's just
>I am an intolerant powerhungry psychopath who wants to enforce my ideology on everyone, so the minute I get an ounce of power I'll go haywire and behave like a school committee Karen possessed by the spirit of Joseph Stalin.

>>96801759
It's the same as the retards trying to claim Antifa has no organization to it. Of course there was organization in the long march through the institutions. The existence of useful idiots does not exclude the existence of people working together to use them.

>>96801590
Neither, dumb dumb. You're supposed to think "wow this dark future fantasy setting is cool!".
>>96801285
Yes, unironically. The existence of sillier or more humorous elements in a setting doesn't make the whole thing silly.

Priestley has said this outright. It's supposed to be a cool universe for wargames and they put some jokes in too. You're not supposed to laugh at the whole thing, just the gags.

>>96794221
thats essentially what I said, anon. Just shorter and not insdulting the dipshit I replied to. You get it.

>>96773617
My Grandfather ripped the teeth out of Thalmor pigs in Skyrim during the civil war. He used to joke about how they would start talking about how Talos worship being eradicated was inevitable, but in the end beg to be allowed to keep at least one tooth to chew their food. They buried tens of thousands of them outside of Windhelm, everyone had to torture at least one to death, but most would get five or six. It was hard work because nobody wanted to be like the Redguards, who could kill fifty in a night with their curved swords and then eat sweetrolls. It was a matter of discipline to stretch a Thalmor out, make him last until morning.

He had a box full of teeth that he would keep on the mantleplace, and sometimes he would put them into a jar and shake them, laughing and dancing around. "Erik the Red, from Old Rorikstead!" he would sing.

Anyway, anything which hurts High Elf pigs is good.

>>96806832
I don’t know if it was too nihilistic for me, it was just too cynical. I can stomach the musings of niggas that believe in nothing and I can usually find common ground somewhere. Less so the whiny and bitter subdivision of those people. See also Ricky Gervais.

>>96797866
>"people I don't like are engaging with it and I'm no longer being exclusively pandered to".
You must be a stained glass window, because this is biblical levels of projection

>>96801941
Fine, but that's your opinion, anon. I find the setting too silly to take that seriously. Especially when they turned the Primarchs into basically overgrown manchildren with daddy issues.

>>96801698
There is actually a weapon like that in the RPG, the q'sal soul cannon.

>>96806832
>>96806939
It's the combo of being nihilistic, but not because you're actually some jaded alcoholic frenchman, instead some gay athiest redditor that's replaced religion with weed, porn and a "who cares bro" attitude and ranting defensively about how there's no point to anything is the closest you can come to a rational philosophy.

>>96806887

>>96808341
And much like stained glass, I've been around here much longer than you have. Pic related is a very popular point of view around here. /tg/ just had a week long meltdown over a new pack of optional space marine heads, some of which were black people. Everything anybody doesn't like around here is largely explained by "the wokes/DEI/blacks/women ruined it". It is all so tiresome.

>>96808478
That's not my opinion, it's the writers opinion. I'm just saying what he said. 40k wasn't intended to be a big dumb gag or an ironic "you're not supposed to think it's cool!" media literacy bit regardless of how many people seem to think so.
>>96812490
>Everything anybody doesn't like around here is largely explained by "the wokes/DEI/blacks/women ruined it"
When it stops being correct it'll stop being said.

I mean why do you think so many new units gets 50-50 male female bodies, all the guard commanders in media are broads now, and space marines are consistently the shade of the burger king kids club? It's pretty clearly dei.

>>96812529
>When it stops being correct it'll stop being said.
So you're agreeing with my original post. That's great, I'm glad we're on the same page.

>>96812529
And The Room was meant to be a serious drama. Sure didn’t turn out that way.

>>96813132
I look at the warhammer community and I see a bunch of people taking it super duper seriously and a handful of people crying they're not laughing at it so its intention clearly landed. It's the media literacy crowd who thinks you're not supposed to take it seriously, not the fans.

40k isn't even 0.01% as grimdark as the average xianxia setting

>>96813150
Neither the media literacy crowd nor the super duper pooper scooper crowd are the intended audience, dude. The intended audience are the guys who look at the giant armored dudes wielding tiny chainswords think "that looks neat" and paint them cause they look neat. They're not taking it "seriously" either, they're giving it the right level of serious aka minimal.

OP here, can't believe this thread is still up. Never watched Space King btw. Fuck Rick&Morty, fuck women.
Aight, gonna masturbate now, cya tomorrow

>>96806832
It wasn't a bad premise.
>Bitter turbo-jaded genius Nihilist deconstructing all the wonder of the world into petty academics and base motivations because he's an emotionally unstable super genius.

But it's like HFY settings, in that it's a singular premise, and that premise gets stale without further alteration or interaction.
They've managed to show a couple cases in recent seasons where Rick isn't some OP Donut Steel Gary Sue, and actually gets bested by an alternative source or perspective worldview. But too much of his character seems to be "always wins" for him to have any meaningful losses. So it's a lot of autistic adventures and episodic events, because you know the story always has to be the same.

In fairness though, it's scifi. That's what scifi's always been about, and it's good at what it does. It's just hampered by the fact that it's all based around a guy who's always so much smarter than everyone else he's reduced to being a bitter asshole out of boredom.
