What if 40k TV show is actually awesome and drags millions of new normies into 40K as a setting. Is that a good or bad thing?

>>212445807 (OP)
40k is edgelord slop for teenagers anyway, nothing of value will be lost.

>>212445807 (OP)
More people would push it further away from edgelord kino, so it's a bad thing.

>>212445807 (OP)
It’s edgelord teehee do I fit in

>>212445807 (OP)
A very bad thing as normies won't understand that the camp needs to be constantly tongue-in-cheek without devolving into self-parody which it inevitably will as it becomes more popular and its characters start spouting Marvel-tier quips as a consequence.

>>212445807 (OP)
They've been busy killing the franchise for over a decade, and have ramped it up a lot over the past 5 or 6 years. If it ever reaches full mainstream appeal, it'll be utterly raped.

Problem with 40k is that while GW and lots of fans like to act like it's extremely grimdark, for the most part it keeps things as safe as possible. Every so often they give you a small glimpse of the horrors by having the main character be taken on a tour through the servitor manufacturing floors or some demon does something creepy and vile, but most stories are just generic explosion sci-fi.

No because of Larry Fink and Woke stake holder capitalism

>>212446069
This, becoming mainstream is a curse

they should gender swap the emperor. by getting him killed off and reincarnate as a female God who blesses his chosen with her titty milk.

>>212445807 (OP)
Millions of normies play 40k. Millions of faggots play 40k. Millions of posers play 40k. Trannies buy 40k shit to te you about their transition. It's been over since dawn of war in terms of keeping out posers and normies. Picrel talked about 40k 10 years ago. Its over. Just hope the show will be good

>>212446069
It's already there, the respite is that mainstream people won't buy models or to stores.

>>212446829
Suckun of ack'd has arguably the most delusional take on 40k imaginable.

>>212445807 (OP)
good.
more normies = more girls. some of you nerds actually might get laid now, if you can contain your raging autism.

>>212447179
Can I hear it?

Disgusting simp, women ruin everything they touch

>>212445807 (OP)
There has never been a good piece of 40k media, and it's extremely likely that there never will. Thousands of books, games, shorts, and it's all slop without exception.

>>212448130
>40k is a right wing project since the imperium does nothing wrong because its enemies are bad

>>212445807 (OP)
40k sucks donkey dick

>>212445807 (OP)
A good thing as long as they respect the IP.

I'm pretty sure they realize the 'woke' interpretation of star wars, marvel, etc have devalued the IPs, and 'nerds' are craving media that doesn't have modern politics interjected into it.

The irony is that 40k is satire on bureaucracy, totalitarianism and Christian sins.

Sounds like carl. He unironically made picrel (like he took the reddit template and earnestly made the chad meme about liberalists)

lmao. gw litearlly wants to get rid of the old audience, because they don't even buy minis anymore. they will deliberately make it gay & retarded in order to drive people away, every single character will be female gay black and asian, just watch.

>>212449264
What the fuck are you talking about, GW has been surging in popularity for the the past decade. They've been so profitable that they gave their employees 5k or 10k bonuses.

>>212448600
you know they retconned female custodes into existence like last year?

>>212450075
I'm pretty sure ADB said he wanted to make female custards as canon, specifically in the First Heretic novel. But it was shot down then. Given the backlash regarding female custards, I highly doubt they will ever try something like that again.

>>212450075
And then did nothing with it. Which is funny when you consider the meltdown people had.

>>212450503
They made one animated short with a female janitor and I think it's the same character in the codex.

Bad because normies will flatten and file the edges off of the setting. The Chuds have, unironically, already done this. Go back to late 90s/early 00s and no one thought the Imperials were "based heroes protecting their people". It was pretty clear that the Imperium was fundamentally corrupt, that's what made it compelling. Heroism in defiance of a fundamentally bleak universe is more intriguing than a society of Hard Men making the Hard Calls where every bad thing they do is justified somehow.
You can really track when the lunatics took over the asylum by how the Space Marines shift from being "merely" incredible super soldiers to being utterly untouchable, even getting glazed in other faction books. For example, in the original Dark Eldar codex the only time the space Marines show up it's as victims. There's a nice little piece of fluff about how one captive SM's superhuman endurance just meant he got tortured way longer than anyone else. Flash forward fifteen years, and now a nameless Space Marine Captain can give Lelith the fight of her life, and one space marine ship can devastate Commoragh.
The normies coming in will be the same shit in a different direction. Imperials and Eldar will become friends, the Tau will be made even more overtly evil, and the Inquisition will go from a slimy, sinister and powerful group to a bunch of flunkies.

>>212445807 (OP)
Doesn't matter. It's already ruined. Just look at the politisperging from the mouthbreathers itt

>>212445807 (OP)
oh no not the normie slop for normies that don't want to admit they're normies. What's next, are normies gonna discover shonen anime?

>>212450336
what backlash? if there was any they undoubtedly got the same or bigger reaction of "yaaass queen, better late than never! now do space marines!"

>>212450741
I actually didn't mind this at all. Custodes aren't even fucking humans. Just essentially giant bio machines from a test tube. Also how "she" is represented in the short is fine, just a giant fucking asshole.

>>212450758
Started with Matt Ward really. Was an Eldar player and we had a fucking Avatar punched to death by a Space Marine, and another pushed into a river of literal shit to drown.

>>212445807 (OP)
bad thing since 40K's story is a complete clusterfuck of authors who just make shit up, which now needs to be made cohesive

>>212451221
I was frankly surprised how long it took us to actually get animated Valdor.

>they undoubtedly got the same or bigger reaction of "yaaass queen, better late than never! now do space marines!"
Not really. Those people were fairly quiet since their goal was always female space marines and they recognized this was all they were going to get. It was defeat more than anything else.

>>212451248
>which now needs to be made cohesive
Nah. Just tell cool stories and most people won't mind minor lore contradiction.

>>212445807 (OP)
A show that follows some Human on a world like Baal Secundus that becomes an Aspirant, then a Scout Marines and finally a Space Marine would be cool.
