He even had a bunch to do too, had the big speech at the end explaining everything. Like, blends in as an actor. He still doesn't look like a baseball player.

That actually might make sense because Babe Ruth played back when the white dudes didn't have to play the black guys and every other competitor was smoking and drinking nonstop. And Buck Bokai played when no one gave a poo poo about baseball to the point the World Series was attended by 300 people, so the sport was probably semi-pro at best.

I think you might be misremembering that a bit, I think they got an actor for the episode the character actually shows up in, but on the actual prop card it was Jein from the start Of course I'm old and could be wrong

Cingulate posted:Aren't they all like that, with the exception of the Tau dudes? Isn't that what makes it grim dark - that all the races are just fighting for survival? The orcs and elder aren't progressing either. Some of the recent writers have added grimdark secret eugenics to the Tau because they were presumably offended by their lack of grimdark. They kinda missed the point that the dark thing about the Tau is that they probably won't last long because a decent free civilisation with justice and due process is fundamentally incapable of dealing with the constant demonic poo poo that'll be flung their way and soon enough they'll fall to it, just because of the way the 40k universe is set up.

40K is lacking in accessible, high-quality media to the point that a guy doing a stylized B&W fan book adaptation is by far the strongest intro to the universe there's ever been outside of a 90-second game trailer. Leave GW to their own devices and you get nearly-unwatchable dreck like the Ultramarines movie, and mostly nothing at all.

When they released an early trailer for ultramarines I left an honest comment on their forums that it was great how they were paying tribute to the tabletop setting by making all the space marines look like tiny little figurines. It got deleted lol.

Yeah I can't understand how that brand couldn't secure/spend the money for a high quality animated feature or a short series. The stuff animators have done in their spare time and put on YouTube is better than 99% of their official media including books.

I've only noticed the video game push they've made in the last few years so I don't know if they've been taking this approach elsewhere but they've been handing out a license to a large part or even just smaller parts of their larger properties to almost anyone, counting on people just forgetting about the bad results, and embracing the good results. I've only ever been a casual 40K fan at most (Vermintide is really the only Fantasy game I've played of their for some time now) but it seems like its worked? At least on me anyways. I could name a fair number of the good 40K games that have come recently and have my eye on a couple upcoming ones but I think the only truly "bad" game I could name was the really big bad one that was in development long before GW took to their new approach, Eternal Crusade. That thing started development under THQ.
