The most interesting part of WH40K lore is that it's so far into the future that technology which are commonplace today are lost or forgotten since (in the setting) millennia ago.

Then there's the Dreadnought which has a dead space marine in a coffin inside that is controlling the Dreadnought with its soul or whatever.

And hey let's put a tactical cathedral on this giant mecha. 40K is so dumb. I love it.

Isnt the emperor literally Jesus too? As in, he was jesus and lived all the 40k years. At least they're believing in a real deity there

The Emperor was several people across history, trying to nudge humanity into greatness.

He eventually revealed himself and took over as Emperor, but at no point did he ever want worship because he knew that fed the Chaos deities. So he and his Space Marines were militant atheists.

Yeah, but in hammering home the atheist argument, he left his entire species vulnerable to the Chaos Gods. Instead of saying "look, here's some things that might as well be literal Gods, but here's how to deal with them", he decided to enforce a strict "NO THESE THINGS DON'T EXIST" policy. The irony is that firm belief in something repels the fuckers to one degree or another, but noooooo, don't tell the people you supposedly care about that.

As over-the-top and grimdark 40k lore is, I've always appreciated it for the nugget of innate tragedy and sadness to it. Things across the galaxy are long past their near-utopian heights, getting ever worse, and most of it could've been avoided.

The Emperor was basically a fedora wearing atheist with a god complex (but absolutely NOT a god). Hes basically a greek tragedy in how what he wanted was ruined by his own hubris.

Plus, he was a terrible, terrible father. Son doubting himself? Sorry, I'm a trillion miles away on Earth, and my cell signal is poo poo. Another son refuses to join you? Bombard his home planet, surely that won't be an issue down the line. Another son using forbidden techniques to warn you that half your sons are rebelling? Take issue with the way the message was delivered, ignore the actual message.

The Emperor was an idiot and a dick, but that's not a great example. He had banned Psychic powers, and then Magnus does one of the biggest feats of Psyker power by projecting his own mind across the galaxy through the Webway to Terra, without really any understanding of what he was doing. And when he gets to Terra, he rips through the nascent portal there and destroys it. Remember that the Emperor had withdrawn from the Great Crusade so that he could focus completely on mastering the Webway because doing so would free humanity from Warp travel, uniting the Empire forever and greatly reducing it's exposure to Chaos. Then Magnus comes in, destroys the portal, destroys all the machinery to make the portal and the greatest scientific minds that the Emperor had gathered there to build the portal. Also in destroying the portal Magnus created a rip in space on Terra, so the Emperor could neither start all over again or return to the Great Crusade, he had to dedicate his entire focus to battling Chaos and holding reality closed so that Terra wouldn't become a new miniature Eye of Terror. And Magnus didn't really even manage to warn the Emperor. He just smashed through in a storm of psychic power, realizes that he's destroyed his father's grand vision of a united human galaxy, maybe manages to squeak out a little "Uh,, dad, Horus is up to something, there's some problems brewing, watch out for Horus" and then his strength gives out and his soul flies back to his body

Yeah, if the Emperor had told Magnus about Chaos and the Webway none of that would've happened in the first place, but still. Magnus hosed up.

If the Emperor had taken just ten minutes out of every day to write his sons a note and tell them he loved them everything would have been fine. Everything is awful because he's a poo poo father.

It was written from the point of view of an Imperial xenologists, for an Inquisitor. So he still might have made the pheremons up in-universe for whatever reason. :iiam:

The pheromone stuff has been in since the very first Tau codex, they didn't add it in after the fact.

Because of the 9/11 attacks, the episode "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" was pulled from syndication, as the episode centered on Homer waiting by the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. When the episode returned from being banned, some prints cut out all the scenes of Homer at the Twin Towers, making the episode incoherent and very short. Other syndicated prints just edit out the line, "Sorry, they stick all the jerks in Tower One" and cut out the part where after Homer finally finds a bathroom in the second tower, he screams after seeing his car get towed (though that may have been a typical syndication cut — the kind where parts considered superfluous or too long are cut to make room for commercials). The original uncut episode is on the season nine DVD (with commentary from the writers on how the episode is now in bad taste thanks to 9/11, but it still has its moments that have stood the test of time). In the United Kingdom, this episode was planned to air on BBC Two for the first time on 28 September 2001, but ultimately was never shown on the BBC at all. Channel 4 (who won the rights to terrestrial broadcasts of the show from the BBC) and Sky One have both broadcast a censored version that removes as much of the Twin Towers as possible.
