He is producing it and starring in it so maybe this isn't one of their bombs to offset their profits from the rest of their company like rangz of da kangz.
My thoughts exactly. Games Workshop long ago bowed to the left, and on top of that have become increasingly hostile to fan content of any kind. They need to hurry up and die.
Producing credits usually mean more money for the star and/or PR for the project.
This is Amazon, it has very vocal diversity mandates laid down by a gaggle of absolutely worthless feminist managers. Henry Cavill will be taking the knee and sing to the tune of the corporate 'diversity uber alles' whistle once the trailer drops in a year or two.
I mean, the guy did star in 'The Witcher'. A hopelessly mangled diversity carcass from the very first episode.
To be fair, they were well written unlike most other shoehorned in diverse characters. They also made sense within the story. They also had PoC’s be bad guys, whereas I was expecting it to be Russians/Generic White Bad Guys.
Bruh I said Terminal List. A show that stars a white guy seeking revenge for his white wife and white child and white teammates, another white guy, an Asian chick, a white woman, and an old codgery white man. All because it was produced by someone who actually cares about the source material.
Cavil is going to earn a rep as he keeps riding these franchise projects down the drain. It's not even his fault really, he just seems to get tacked to fan-heavy projects that are like riding a boat made of meat through piranha infested waters. He keeps jumping from one to the next as they're torn apart.
His career was doomed as soon as he signed with The Rock's wife as his agent. He's more handsome, younger, has a broader acting range, and is white. The Rock can't tolerate being upstaged, so Cavill only gets roles that the Rock doesn't want or couldn't get away with taking.
[Dany] Garcia met Dwayne Johnson while both were University of Miami college students, and they were married on May 3, 1997. By marrying Johnson she joined the famous Samoan Anoa'i family. They have one child together. On June 1, 2007, the couple announced they were divorcing amicably. The divorce was finalized in May 2008 and Garcia now serves as Johnson’s global strategic advisor.
HM, I WONDER WHY Cavill ended up in a cameo role for The Rock's latest movie flop!? 🤔
The game’s setting is 40,000 years into the future where things are dark indeed. Human civilization has stopped progressing and is in an unending war with aliens and magical beings [...] and the T’au is a blue-skinned alien race that may offer some hope.
Of course the Hollywood Reporter thinks being a sterilized commie mindslave is a hopeful outcome.
OMG, humans have reached the stars and settled planets all over the galaxy and the Progs still aren't satisfied! Not enough progress! They really do want Chaos to win.
If you want to see the fate of humanity just picture Elizabeth Warren scolding anyone who succeeds, forever.
These are the same people who would write articles like “why chaos corrupting our world and destroying our lives was a good thing” and hold banners proudly emblazoned with “warp-fugees welcome!” If they were in that setting.
Even without the Amazon political concerns (white orks incoming), I still have concerns about how faithful they can really stay to the look of 40k power armor. It was stylized and distinct and I feel like it would translate to screen as well as superhero outfits tend to, needing some serious reworking to look viable.
It isn't that they hate money per se. Selecting to exclusively hire politically correct creatives allows the laundering of the funds through production and patronage.
Even if the corporation doesn't turn a profit, they move the culture by keeping the useful idiots solvent through subsidization. As long as a percentage of the money comes back, and the product isn't a complete failure, the losses can be written-down as part of an ESG-based front-loading of the culture.
I hate the fact that you can say this with a straight face in the current year, I hate the fact that I could understand it all, and I *really *hate the fact that you stand a good chance of being spot on.
Ideally, the losses are large enough and obvious enough that the shareholders, who are only interested in profit, sue the ever living shit out of the ESG-tainted boards, shutting this grift down.
I believe Disney faces just such a suit. Ideally, the large stakeholders will sue over the use of their investment/capital to subsidize ESG's ends. As long as they can prove damages/money lost, godspeed.
They don't know how to produce real art, though. Amazon is an assembly line.
Remember when they tried to release an Overwatch clone? The best way I could describe that game is "Composed of all of the elements that are required to be considered a video game."
But... Orks ARE "white". They represent British football hooligans. At least in many major elements. The problem is certain memetic elements of the world decided to copy the Orks afterwards.
There is something to be said for the fact that Cavill is going to be the Executive Producer. Which with him being a lore nerd, already moves it more toward the Reacher and Terminal List direction than usual Amazon stuff. But it absolutely remains to be seen.
Apparently, the rumor is that they are going to be adapting the Eisenhorn books. Which could definitely be pretty good if done right, and he would absolutely be a fit for Eisenhorn in terms of character.
The staff usually aren't the ideologues. You either go along to get along (virtue signal) to keep your job, or you put in the minimum effort necessary. If you know the boss believes in this project being the best it can be - rather than them using it for money laundering or a stepping stone to even greater social justice soapboxes - you'll put more way effort in.
Unless we get info that it's woke, I'll at least look forward to the first season, and just brace for that the second season probably won't be worth watching.
Oh great, I'm so looking forward to non-binary tranny Space Marines and a black female emperor.
He is producing it and starring in it so maybe this isn't one of their bombs to offset their profits from the rest of their company like rangz of da kangz.
I'd love a good 40k series but between Amazon and an increasingly woke Games Workshop I'm not holding my breath.

Games Wokeshop
Soon to be Games Brokeshop, I hope.

Terminal List
Reacher was also supposedly free from diversity, yet somehow it had the obligatory black boss and the buddy cop female.
To be fair, they were well written unlike most other shoehorned in diverse characters. They also made sense within the story. They also had PoC’s be bad guys, whereas I was expecting it to be Russians/Generic White Bad Guys.

I'm not a Reacher fan and haven't watched it.

This really needs more attention.

I await with eagerness the finding that Big E is actually the super-brain guy from the Black Israelite literature.
Ye was right.
Inb4 Sisters of Battle look more rugged than the Space Wolves.

In a perfect world, they'd just give the entire thing to the guy who did the Astartes fan video and call it a fucking day.
But, because GW and Amazon hate money, I'm sure they'll find people whom absolutely loathe Warhammer 40K and run it into the ground.

Turns out Uwe Boll making bad video game movies with nazi gold and german tax write offs was the least of our worries.
CGI my friend. That's something Amazon can probably do, anyways. They know how to hire an SFX department.
They don't know how to produce real art, though. Amazon is an assembly line.

I get that. I'm talking about literally white rather than green, the same wat the LotR series moved away from black orcs.
I want to have hope due to Cavill being involved but it is Amazon. Has the Warhammer fandom been infested?
Not really, but the company behind it is woke.
r/Sigmarxism has entered the chat
There's always slaanesh, but the core remains uncorrupted.
There's always slaanesh, but the core remains uncorrupted.
So, anybody taking bets on which team Amazon's going to let have this one?
We have whomever was responsible for stuff like season one of Reacher ... or, frankly, most of the rest of Amazon.

Cavill will care but literally not one other person in the show's production will.
The best we can hope for is a behind-the-scenes photo of Cavill crying in front of a green screen wondering where it all went wrong like Ian McKellen

And suddenly my wife is into 40k. I have no problems with this.
I'm REALLY hoping this falls on the 'Reacher' side of Amazon where it's good, bloody and the cast is great.
Not the Rings of Power we're more focused on diversity side if Amazon.
JFC here we go
Unless we get info that it's woke, I'll at least look forward to the first season, and just brace for that the second season probably won't be worth watching.
Hopefully it'll be terminal list and not rangz of power
