I thought he simply didn’t have enough dick to swing on Witcher to save it? Hopefully this isn’t the case with the 40k project if it actually moves forward

Nah Henry will patrol the thots so he can autistically produce 40kino
Based
[...]
I want to believe but his patrolling didn't save the witcher
he pissed off all the women involved producing the witcher due to toxic male behavior like: >not wanting to take his shirt off everytime they asked him >not wanting to participate in sex scenes they invented that had nothing to do with the books >talking about videos games >supporting a male writer that wanted to stick with the books >being friends with men on set
given he's already displayed that sort of patriarchial toxic male behavior as an actor we can safely assume it will only get worse when he is directing.
No one said anything like that, only that they were eyeing him to star in a 40k production. It hasn't even been confirmed.
Henry has already made a name for himself as the based gamer roastiedestroyer
He will leave if they try to put roasties in charge of this
>Henry has already made a name for himself as the based gamer roastiedestroyer
He's done nothing of the sort. It's just Cinemaphile gays who want his dick that worship him here.
does cavill have previous experience as a creative lead? It would be a shame if he has good intentions but just fricking sucks at managing a creative project like this.

Earth literally had its sea boiled away by nuclear catastrophe, so if the writers aren't moronic, they could easily hit this angle without it being obnoxious.
Amazon seems a bit different in that it appears possible to opt out of esg funding on a case by case basis instead of it being a rule of thumb across the service.
I'd be more concerned that gw is going to send their own commissar to gay things up and there's nothing our guy can do about that.
GW have to play pretty close to the line, they may wish to be overtly globohomosexual but they know their core fanbase is too far to the right to be able to do that, and they won’t be able to broaden their appeal greatly because preconceptions about the fanbase are so strong they become a self fulfilling prophecy. >They’ve done an enby character in that ork book and it played off okay given it was a toaster fricking martian.
I think its going to get cancelled before it comes out. Production would be way to high with none of the mixed fanbase of Lotr or Star Wars.
Dune is the best showing of what a Sci-Fi not called Star at the start can do at the box office. A TV show would be even worse performing since House of the Dragon and Rings of Power were both forgotten(and The Last of Us). So you watching Astartes once every few months really is not a good display of viewership potential. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings etc can be filled with diversity and marketed to Women audiences who will put money into a new thing they enjoy. The amount of men who already buy toys, cosplay, play the games already exist you'd be bringing nothing new appealing to the Male audience. What happens when the 40k show tries to appeal absouletly its hardest to straight white males and then you guys simply just go back to reading the wiki or playing the games after the show is over and leaving a 3.5 star review because they made the Emperor bald or something as slight as that. It's simply a doomed show.
The only thing that really strikes me as frick uppable is including more women than the token Commisar and maybe some Sisters of Battle. Anything beyond that is immersion breaking. I guess you could get away with some female Tau or something.
necrons are also fine, there are a couple mentions of female phaerons and crypteks here and there in codexes and novels
pretty sure they look identical to the males since they're still robot skeletons though
Wouldn't mind seeing Djimon Hounsou appearing in this, wouldn't make for a good black Eisenhorn though.
Maybe cast him as a more chaotically inclined rogue trader.
Fleshed out enough to be recognizable; immensely popular in the fandom; unironic good guys; and have no presence in the 42nd Millenium yet, so you have creative freedom.
Sometime Amazon does pretty well. Terminal list and Reacher are two examples. Considering how Netflix fricked up the Witcher, Henry’s popularity for being true to the source material, and the overall decline of woke media, we might get a decent show. But then again they might be stupid and frick it up.
Yeah this. There isn't a budget and team on earth that could do it justice. But super high level animators like astartes would work 100%. You could save on casting by using voices only too or face scan if you want to go that way and spend more. But I just cannot fathom how they would properly portray the universe accurately without animation. Even just down to the movement and actions of marines, Eldar and Orks. The fights would just look like that gay shit from halo 5 if they use live action.
If it was up to me the 40K series would be hand-animated in an aesthetic somewhere between the Heavy Metal animated picture and 2000AD comic's style. It would be an anthology series consisting of 5-15 minute vignettes showing some small corner of the 40K universe. It would be consistently dark and depressing, with characters making unwise decisions in order to inflict more cruelty on their enemies being a common theme. But there'd be occasional black comedy to refresh the audience every so often, mostly delivered in Ork sequences. To this end, the writer's room would consist primarily (if not entirely) of fat British men. Primaris and returned Primarchs would NOT feature.
I only agree with the primarch part. The rest sounds gay. Astartes tone and animation, pick a sector of the universe, tell a story, keep it simple for now. I'd love a heresy series but just casting alone would bankrupt the UK.
Cavill will make sure it is lore accurate, but we've seen some pretty insuffereble characters in the novels that don't break lore. We'll probably get a female inquisitor who's a hideous looking black lesbian. A young hispanic girl as her interrogator, a buff bald black guy as the enforcer, some effiminate white boy as the psyker and a nonbinary actor to play their tech-adept. All the antagonists of the series will be white men. The Imperial guard/planetary defense forces will be written as bumbling idiots. Xenos races won't appear to save on budget. A single space marine will show up for a brief two minute scene in a random mid-season episode before never being seen again just so they can put him all over the trailers. What will be worse is that they'll take their OC donut-steel characters and try to adapt some of the stories from Abnett's Inquisitor novels, thus poisoning the well for them ever getting an adaptation.
The series will focus on Erda (who is black btw) The emporer will be a typical flawed male who needs to be told everything by a strong wymn. Mark my fricking words.
GW were in early, the earliest talks with Amazon about a possible show. Henry Cavil, who's befriended some of GW's middle management had wind of this and after losing the Witcher and Superman within a month decided to leak a story to the HR about the Amazon deal as being done, and Vertigo (the production company his gf works for) and himself as being attached to a show. This was the last act of a drowning man, desperate to take control of the news cycle and show that he was attached to something after losing two high profile franchises
GW are entirely out of their depth with anything outside of their immediate bubble (making toys and licencing their IP to vidya) (they recently fired the media licencing expert only brought in about a year before from Hasbro because he was giving them what could only be described as sensible advice) and decided to run with this, putting out a weird press statement about how excited by Amazon, Vertigo and Henry Cavil they are, authored by Andy Smilie, one of the middle management cabal who received Cavil during his WHW visit last year.
In the month or so since this happened, Amazon, furious at GW for having leaked the deal in such early stages, and having now seen how fricking weird 40k fanboys are firsthand have lolfrickno'd the entire thing.
If you were excited about a live action 40k tv show in the foreseeable future, don't be. You've got a shitmunching failed superhero actor secondary, who doesn't even paint models or play the fricking game and only reads Dan Abnett novels to thank for that. If you were worried about the lore getting pozzed and female space marines, ect, also thank Cavil I guess, because you ain't gonna see it.

Also, Henry Cavill is not a good actor so if he is a star it will be worse off. He seems to be passionate about it which is good but I he'll likely be strong-armed by the studio into going along with bad choices. and contract-bound to pretend he's happy with it.
God I hope they go for the rogue trader or some of the early editions tone wise. Give me that old school satire vibe before all the edgelords ruined everything.
They are absolutely going to make the Empire the baddies, the premise of the universe is far too 'fascist' for amazon writers and producers.
It'll be like what they did with Halo, where te first episode is following some badass space marines and showcasing the devestation and horror of 40k but then immediately they'll introduce some woke buzzcut female of color who the empire doesn't like and opresses her and she is gonna shed light on how evil the imperium is and big space marine man will join her eventually to oppose the ebil fascist imperium even though humanity would be extinct without it
honestly I always felt like THousand Sons should start leaning towards more Indian mythology design aesthetics so they're more separate and not so similar to the Necrons. It's an entirely untapped section of ideas and designs to reference from and still fit very well within the Psyker concept, more so if anything
get a woman writer, get a woman director
Nah Henry will patrol the thots so he can autistically produce 40kino
This. They’ll also fill it with Black folk and women.
that's actually based though
hush little mutt, go chew on your funko dolls and eat from your pig troth.

the first-worlders are talking, go be a shitskin somewhere else
So, Eisenhorn series?
Heresy!

This. Womxn will never understand Warhammer. It is one of the hallmarks of nerd culture.
prepare for troony space marines.
But space marines ARE transhuman anon
>troony plays noise marines
FUNNY
There already is and has been for a long time, they are called Emperor's Chrildren.
Slaneesh?? troony wiener in your ass.
That's just the Emperor's Children
They're going to marvelize it. Quips every other sentence, undermine every dramatic moment with a joke, meta self referencing, classic 70's rock or 90's hip hop outta nowhere.
So they're adapting the Ciaphas Cain novels?

I want to believe but his patrolling didn't save the witcher
I thought he simply didn’t have enough dick to swing on Witcher to save it? Hopefully this isn’t the case with the 40k project if it actually moves forward
Why would he have more dick to swing now, coming on from more failures than successes?
I thought the whole deal here is he’s explicitly being given more power in his role during production? Or did mishear or misunderstand
No one said anything like that, only that they were eyeing him to star in a 40k production. It hasn't even been confirmed.
Oh no
He's exec producer/ showrunner and it's his girlfriend's production company.

Now I know you're full of shit.
Only adaptation I'd watch

That would actually work if it was done properly, like 2000 AD Judge Dredd
they'll try to make it gay instead of a parody of the real world. like if they made starship troopers about how cool and good the government is
bait
They already fricked up by putting him in charge.
kys troon
Henry has already made a name for himself as the based gamer roastiedestroyer

He's done nothing of the sort. It's just Cinemaphile gays who want his dick that worship him here.
40k is already becoming Fedorahammer
Somehow they will.

Well, at least that's accurate.
he's just like me fr fr.
By focusing on the ultrasmurfs instead of the epic karskins from cadia.
I don't even think it will get made.
why are you spamming?

GW is giving up terrain every day, the Female Space Marines are not a matter of if, but when
By following through with it.
This planet has a single black person on it and must be purged
If the people who gave us Reacher, Terminal List and Jack Ryan are in control and autonomous from Jennifer Salke? It MIGHT work.
If Salke and her crew 'fix' it? It'll be the last straw.
Amazon seems a bit different in that it appears possible to opt out of esg funding on a case by case basis instead of it being a rule of thumb across the service.

I wanna see a reaction video of Cavill watching Astartes.
The only thing that really strikes me as frick uppable is including more women than the token Commisar and maybe some Sisters of Battle. Anything beyond that is immersion breaking. I guess you could get away with some female Tau or something.
Why, imperial organization are full of women. The only exceptions are the adeptes astartes and custodes.
necrons are also fine, there are a couple mentions of female phaerons and crypteks here and there in codexes and novels
pretty sure they look identical to the males since they're still robot skeletons though
They won't, they'll just never make it.
Trans lesbian black space Marines
Non-binary latinix emperor
Emperor is unironically non binary.
40k is moronic anyways, it couldn't possibly be made worse
*Bane of course meme*
this will be HENRY'S character
Not a globohomosexual but I unironically wish Lance Reddick was still alive because he would have made a fantastic eisenhorn
Wouldn't mind seeing Djimon Hounsou appearing in this, wouldn't make for a good black Eisenhorn though.
Maybe cast him as a more chaotically inclined rogue trader.
Post the SM chapter you want to see on the show
Still technically a Spez marine
imagine if they did adb's trilogy as a tv show
Fleshed out enough to be recognizable; immensely popular in the fandom; unironic good guys; and have no presence in the 42nd Millenium yet, so you have creative freedom.
Counterpoint: they're all fricking dead.
Iron Snakes or the Minotaurs.
Black Templars would be a perfect chapter for an anthology series
What hopes and dreams do you have for the show/movie before Amazon ruins it?
if the writers room doesnt look like it smells awful im not watching
if theres a single female or minority in the writing room, not watching
mixed race and gender space marine chapters, you fricking know it's coming
Sometime Amazon does pretty well. Terminal list and Reacher are two examples. Considering how Netflix fricked up the Witcher, Henry’s popularity for being true to the source material, and the overall decline of woke media, we might get a decent show. But then again they might be stupid and frick it up.
There's no way on earth a live-action 40k doesn't look like garbage. I don't care who is doing it. This should have been animated or not tried at all.
Yeah this. There isn't a budget and team on earth that could do it justice. But super high level animators like astartes would work 100%.

What would be the problem with colored people in warhammer 40k? There was nothing in the lore that implied their disappearance or non-existence.
There isn't even an upcomming show, read the latest GW share report.

Black's, racks, and gays
even if it doesnt end up woke itll still be garbage, 40k is unadaptable, the scale just doesnt work.
its already a troony franchise there is nothing left to ruin
They'll play it straight and then get mad when fans like the human supremacist characters the most and purposefully sabotage the story out of spite.
God I hope they go for the rogue trader or some of the early editions tone wise. Give me that old school satire vibe before all the edgelords ruined everything.

I want to see them dare to try the Dark Coil
It's getting mothballed due to the the writers strike.
That's hardly an issue since GW has their own writers that aren't in the WGA.
By not having Cavill naked because that's the only reason people would want to see this nerd book adaptation

The Emperor of Humanity will be black.

it wont be even 1/10th as good as Helsreach
