Quite a lot of channels mentioning it along with the fact since Henry Cavill has been confirmed with Amazon to do a series, sales have gone up.
Now, GW have been known to do dumb shit, hell their plus media venture and using copyright as a bludgeon against fan work was REALLY dumb, but this whole thing played out seems like there was at least a few smart people in charge at GW.
We know GW has activists, the fact that Arch is a banned name in GW shows that, and the activists WANT female Space Marines, Amazon full of leftists wanted female Space Marines but the ones with brains at GW know that will kill their company. So they do female Custodes to SHOW the backlash, which goes on to affect the deals in talk with Amazon. I don't think it's a coincidence that we ended up with this as the recent thing Amazon made with 40k. Between that and Space Marine 2, it seems like this Custodes issue was used to silence the activists and tourists and show where the money is, and now that's been done, they're deleting it.
Would be nice but without an official statement that says that Custodes are ONLY male this can be just them sidelining for a later date. I for one stopped following and did not bother in buying miniatures since the female custodies - despite my main army being black templars. I've even stopped painting what I already have.
I honest to god hate that a win can never be a win, but this is the right attitude to have. This is far, far more likely to be a case of putting the agenda on hold, not halting stopping or going back to sanity.
I wish it is them returning to sanity, but it's just too unlikely to be the case.
I don't mind that my consumer habits have changed due to the rot. I waste less money now, I feel more free and I don't miss any of it. There are better things.
I agree on that front, but it still sucks that a win cannot simply be a win, that there's always that nagging point that it's probably not a win and instead it's just a temporary pause.
The fight against marxism is perpetual.
Soon: "He IS male. He was merely ASSIGNED female AT BIRTH. Be better."
Brother, get the heavy flamer.
This is the way. Stop giving companies that hate you money. Your wallet is the only way you can resist. That is until government forcibly takes it from you via taxes and gives it to woke feminist trash.
3D Printer goes brrrerrrrrrr
It seems like it but I wouldn't ascribe that level of competence or strategic vision to GW.
True but they were at least intelligent enough NOT to give the Space Marines tits.
Other companies would have easily done than by now.
The 40k Amazon show is going to be anti-40k, there's no question of it. They wouldn't allow it to be made otherwise.
I'm pleasantly surprised exactly how 40k Rogue Trader game ended up being. They really didn't soften the setting at all, at least the dogmatic (also the only correct) alignment path that is.
The iconoclast path actually punishes you, which is also nice.
I think my only iconoclast decision was keeping the eldar sniper, and that was mostly so could get her quest then refuse to help or actively destroy her fellow space elves whenever they showed up. Also told her she was disgusting when she tried to put the moves on me, that was pretty satisfying.
They allowed Terminal List to be made and that's a pretty red meat show.
So it depends on whether it's Amazon making it or publishing it, there's actually a massive difference. If they're just publishing it, sure. If they're actually involved in making it directly, no chance.
That said I doubt they will stay true to the source material very well either way, because simply put the entirety of Hollywood is too full of weird gross communists to do so.
Ultimately it will come down to who they have as the showrunner and director on it, and who the writers are. If they aren't all 40k fans it's going to be a disaster.
So just on the balance, the odds are it's going to be a disaster where they push "the message" just like literally 100% of all media made in the last several decades.
In some cases them pushing their gross degenerate message in a piece of media doesn't matter as much, but 40k is pretty much the antithesis of all of those so if they do, it will ruin it.
Terminal List was amazing.
Space Marine 2 was a massive success and Trump won so there's no reason to despair just yet.
Here's a Endymiontv video going through it, in a recent guide the Custodes are only referred to as him.
Sounds like 4-D Chess but its far more likely they were playing Checkers and tried to add Backgammon to the board to attract more players and it backfired.
Then someone with pull/power there looked at things like the Budweiser backlash and the billions they've spent in response just trying to regain their previous market share, or the Gillette toxic misandry commercial that cost them in excess of $5,000,000,000 (yes, 5 Billion with a "B") and just said "let's undo this before its too late".
The author of the book being used as the basis for the videos came out to say it was written before femstodes came out in lore, that’s why it makes no mention of femstodes
The Emperor protects.
Last shot is that of a black guy. While there are black Space Marines, white guys are much more prevalent and seeing that the rest of 'Secret Level' is also subversive woke slop, I'm just going to assume this is a woke-slop decision as well.
The slop will be plopped on your plate, and you shall eat it.
Also, these people aren't that Machiavellian. They're half-wits that blundered into a decision due to corporate DEI herd mentality and now they may have abandoned that position, but it's not likely.
Black guy gets wasted by chaos, the White Titus fucks it up in his own mind and the proceeds to go fuck up more heretics on the way out.
I'd say with this episode at least they weren't that woke at all if all we have is 'there's a black guy who ain't the mc so gets fycked up in the end' but the left made it so unless every race stays in their zones in media, we start assuming subversion.
Though they must have SOMEONE with brains given they chose Custodes to show the backlash of adding women, NOT Space Marines.
