Eduarch 74 chapter 47 . 9/2 Oye escritor cuando sacaras el siguiente capitulo? |
The Reaper of Valhalla chapter 28 . 8/8 I haven’t finished the rest of the story but I’m wondering if Krieg would pull a Bruce Banner in the 90s Hulk movie when it comes to pesky martians in his head. “You want to see inside my head? Pick at my memories? Take them, TAKE THEM ALL!” In other words he forces the mind prober to relive his life in the Korps and the battles he’s been apart of. Either he drives someone utterly insane or he inadvertently creates the first Imperial Follower in DC along with the first Death Cult of Krieg. |
Edarch chapter 44 . 7/10 Te quedo increíble la canción estilo Sabaton. |
SuperIntellectualRedditor chapter 47 . 6/18 To be honest I agree with Malum Caedo esq. in regards to Keled's character. It's not his fault for being raised a child soldier and being brought up in the cruelest, most bloody regime imaginable; or having to live in a universe as horrible and fucked up as Warhammer 40,000. But he's never really forced to question his presuppositions about the world and the universe, whether the Imperium is right or wrong, if all aliens are truly inherently monstrous, etc. There isn't any of the doubt or existential angst that should accompany being dropped into a universe that is so utterly unlike his own, and he never seems to get trumped in any argument, more-or-less being presented as morally superior to the Justice League, and the Imperium’s monstrous nature actually generally seems to be lauded, while the Justice League are bleeding-hearts who just aren’t willing to make the hard decisions. IMO, the clash of themes that’s supposed to be there aren’t really there; because Keled is generally presented as unambiguously correct, and the League as being unambiguously wrong. Mostly with regards to killing, mind you; the only part in the story that I recall where the League is presented as having flawed, but understandable reasons for not killing, comes during Keled’s conversation with Rachel, and nowhere else. And the attempts to rectify the moral wanking of Keled and the Imperium, and to show them as being morally just as bad if not worse than the League, but on the opposite path; as you have noted yourself, come too little, too late. With regards to the xenophobia; we know that even Space Marine characters like Dante and Uriel Ventris, who are arguably just as much if not more brainwashed than the Death Korps of Krieg, are capable of having a more nuanced view of aliens and their relation to humanity. Pondering the question of whether they are truly monstrous/evil in and of themselves, or if they’re just people trying to survive in a fucked up universe in their own way. So, it’s not impossible even within the Warhammer canon for brainwashed/indoctrinated Imperial characters to question their views, or even change them altogether. Though to be fair, static characters are necessarily inferior to dynamic characters; it’s just that dynamic characters with a positive arc are a personal preference of mine. Xenophobes in the Imperium are a dime a dozen, it’s baked into their dogmas, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with a person staying that way story-telling wise. People are xenophobes all the time in real life and remain that way despite overwhelming evidence contrary to their previous sensibilities. And if that's what you were going for with Keled, then feel free to disregard basically all of what I wrote above, as you did that pretty much fine. Keled works perfectly fine as a tragic, villain/anti-villain character who is unable to grow out of the shitty setting and empire that he hails from. But at the end of the day, Keled as a person can basically be summed up in what Guilliman said to Angron: "You’re still a slave. Enslaved by your past, blind to the future. Too hateful to learn. Too spiteful to prosper." Like Angron, he probably has a good heart deep down, or at least initially, but his perception of reality is so warped, and his mind, body and soul are so fucked up from his upbringing that there was never going to be a happy ending for him, whether Chaos showed up later in the story or not. I also feel like it was kind of a mistake having Chaos stick around as an antagonist, or at least one that stuck around for longer than the first few chapters of the story. It’s really just bogged down the plot of this fic and I think it kind of ruined the momentum you’d built up from Keled being isolated all by himself and interacting with various DC characters and factions. He doesn’t really have to find his own path, because the great plot-cancer of 40k crossovers, Chaos, has vindicated Keled, and by extension, the Imperium’s, brutish, pre-modern if not pre-classical sensibilities. Its crushing, blindly swung fist, its mindless zealotry and cruelty are exalted as superior to the mindset of the protagonists of the DC universe. I first read this story many, many years ago, and at the time I thought it was pretty much perfect. But after giving it a read again, I gotta ask: At the end of the day, are any of Keled’s beliefs really challenged? Does he actually have no Emperor to serve and no war to fight? Does he actually struggle to find his own path? I don’t believe so. |
Guest chapter 47 . 6/18 I like the story but I feel like earths defenses are lacking where are all the heroes, and the the anti-heroes/villans that would fight on humanity’s side. There are hundreds of them and I feel like they wouldn’t be losing this hard. And there are a lot of powerful beings that would take issue with this invasion. Like swamp thing he would feel the rotten army of Gorm and he would destroy it for the Green. The Guardians of Oa would probably intervene as well sending more green lanterns. Not too mention overpowered beings like the endless and the Spectre. They would probably intervene at some point as well. And the most powerful being this war probably would have pissed of is Lucifer Morningstar since he lives in Los Angeles. |
Guest chapter 47 . 6/18 Love the story and I hope you update soon. But Circe isn’t an Olympian, not even a goddess just a demigod. So I hope she won’t be too much of a challenge for someone like Ares. |
DD soul chapter 47 . 6/17 Man, when I went looking for Warhammer fic's, I sure couldn't have guessed I'd run into something this good. This was well worth the read, especially the parts that branch off in a unique direction. Thank you very much for the story. |
MercenaryGrok chapter 47 . 6/11 Update? |
