    The ship knew its captain was dead, and while we don't know the relationship between the two, its anger of the loss was all consuming.

      @hasturthekinginyellow5003 Рік тому +21

      From what we know, the relationship between a ship's spirit and their captain is comparable to true friends who would sacrifice for the other, brothers who would go to hell and back if the other is with them, and in some cases, even lovers.
      So, for me at least, is obvious that the ship would be hellbent to avenge its captain, for it it call "vengeance... vengeance.... vengeance" no other option considered, no other option in existence, but vengeance.

    "On some level it's preferable to have your soul evaporate into the warp then be captured by chaos or xenos and tortured for eternity."
    One my favorite 'unofficial' 40k stories masterfully read out by ***A vox in the void*** is "all the gods are dead." It follows a humble vegetable farmer who hid under a floorboard rather then die in a futile firefight with a band of marauding Slanneshi cultists. In order to survive he dons an iron mask and the rags of dead a marauder and follow the raiders disguised as one of them. All along the way he feels disgust and hate towards them constantly praying to the Emperor and biding his time for when he can escape the raiders and surrender to the local PDF.
    As he forced to watch endless horrors it wears down his soul to the point he's begin to actively participate in the assaults and sieges feeling like a powerful warrior. All while rationalizing that in his heart he's still loyal and has "no choice" as he guns down defending PDF, laughing as he drunkenly watches raider pull down imperial statues and *grapes* "their stone lovers", while hungerly enjoying spiced human meats. In the end only death can cleanse his soul.

    I love 40k void warfare and how it's becoming more grounded in real science. 20 years ago I doubt much thought would've been given to heat management on a Strike Cruiser by the writers. Now that people are generally more aware of the less fantastical realities of space combat, they're making a point to factor this into the writing. A damaged heat sink would absolutely prevent a ship from firing it's weapons safely (or at all). Great to see more of how a macrocannon operates too, although those look like torpedoes they loaded

    It's funny that a IP with such a small female fan base does the strong female character better than other media that makes "women are SO powerful" their flagship motif.
    As for me, I fell in love with this chick when she just shot that guy. I'm always the one going "Oh jeez, get rid of THAT guy.." or "He's gonna be a problem. They should kill him now before it gets worse." at the beginning of every horror survival movie with one of THOSE guys (pretty much all of them). I think the second Saw movie was the most egregious in that regard. And idk how many ppl watched It Comes at Night but that movie traumatized me. Especially having yelled "Omg, just leave. Don't stay with these ppl!" for two hours. Yeah... Rant over

    • @Nasfelia
      @Nasfelia Рік тому +2

      Although I understand the pleasure of seeing a no nonsense, pragmatic strong female protagonist, I felt quite the opposite to be honest. To me, There was no nuance in the way the characters were portrayed in that first part, neither him nor her. I thought it felt very contrived, the guy was to be a coward and the girl was going to get her girl boss moment, no matter what. I found the smirk of the second officer extremely cringey as well. The rest of the episode was quite nice otherwise, especially the merging with the ship. A matter of taste and personnal experiences I guess.

    Great stuff, as ever. As a neophyte to 40k but another theology and philosophy nerd, I have a question - is the God Emperor seen as both divine and human, or just possessing of one inseparable nature?

    • @RhantheSlayer
      @RhantheSlayer Рік тому +3

      To my understanding, he is seen as a god and is above that of a regular human.
      However, there are some who know him as simply a powerful human being, such as the Space Marines, who aren't religious (with the major exception of the Black Templars) and see him as just 'The Emperor' and not 'The God Emperor', because their Primarchs would have told them he was just The Emperor.
      The other faction that doesn't see him as divine is the Adeptus Custodes, as they are his personal guard and therefore know more than anyone else that he was indeed just a powerful human and honour his decree that he not be referred to as a god.
      Technically, his (currently) only remaining loyalist Primarch, Guilliman of the Ultramarines, also doesn't view him as a god, but like the Custodes it's because he knows the truth of the matter.
      But to everyone else in the Imperium, he is this godlike being that watches over them all and leads them through their darkest hours.

    What I don't get is how they actually managed to destroy the Dark Eldar ship, no Strike Cruiser Mk. currently available to the Imperium is able to even clear the clear the shields of a Dhrukari Cruiser in a single salvo, and that's by design as the Space Marines aren't supposed to be Void autonomous anymore following the Heresy.
    Granted, Dark Eldar shields aren't voidshields like others use, but they employ a passive camouflage that messes with visual and electronic identification, even at close ranges. It's also a cruiser, just like the Space Marine Strike Cruiser, Eldar or not it still carries quite a bit of armor and redundant systems.

    • @leonardomarquesbellini
      @leonardomarquesbellini Рік тому

      Also, I believe Richard's crew made a canonicity mistake here, they referred to the guns as Bombardment Cannons, but those are always turret mounted on the prow of the ship in a Strike Cruiser, and even Battle Barges, which are much larger, have them as turrets along the spines (up to two or maybe three turrets with a single cannon each, IIRC) precisely because they're liable to blowing up if pushed to their limits in combat, so not the kind of thing you want on your hull. Strike Cruiser variants can only hull-mount up to medium macro-cannons (which are much, much weaker), and even then in lesser numbers than even the Dauntless light cruisers of the Imperial Navy.
      It's not a brawler by any means, they're just vessels for dumping a bunch of astartes on a target through Assault Boats, Boarding Torpedos and Drop Pods, without Space Marines a Strike Cruiser is a sitting duck.

      Different authors make different points, it's a setting with multiple very different factions with different motivations and goals, and books can cover a variety of genres, so it would be hard to just state one. But if there is something generally universal to the 40K setting, it's probably war.
