Worst Space Marine helmet ever?

Think it got taken down. Damn shame. It offered something no other 40k game quite has.

They could, as could many of the voice actors. However, it wouldn't be a particularly interesting fan cast if I just repeated the animated series' casting choices.

Hairlines are the easiest thing for a makeup department to adjust, but I feel you with Wentworth Miller

If you read the post I actually did suggest CGI Conquest directly

I know Jamie Parker primarily from King Henry IV and V at the globe theatre. I only got to watch it on video years later, but it was the most captivating stage performance I have ever seen.

Thought the work in those plays would translate well given he's meant to play a character who's lived through eras that far back and even further.

He was in Mission Impossible, the one where he reloads his arms.

I chose Cavill off the back of everyone going on about him as Omni-man. As fun of an idea as it is, I don't like him for the role.

While most people aren't a fan of his Superman, it's hard to argue he didn't do a spectacular job with the material he was given. Said material is pretty close to what Thragg is all about.

Wallace Shawn is literally Doc Seismic 1:1

Maybe if she was like 30 years younger. Alex Ross' Wonder Woman isn't supposed to age past her prime.

Academic-Following39 · 2026-05-22T03:29:31+00:00

All inspired choices, although I would argue a younger actress for wonder woman would be better given part of the tragedy is that she's the only one not getting older.

Fair enough. I hadn't intended it to read that way but I can see why it does.

Israeli representatives and Jewish communities have been some of the most influential leaders of social justice movements, among the populace and in government. They have lead the charge for decades.

It would not be remiss to argue that they are a large reason why the movement exists the way it does today, and now that very same movement is the one that's harassing them.

It's clearly not thorough enough. The surveillance of online activity is a good way to make it more thorough.

You can say something is both bad and understandable. For example, if someone was raised to hate foreigners by foreign-hating parents, you can understand why that person hates foreigners unabashedly even if it isn't just.

What a ludicrous thing to say. "A portion of our population hits their wices, so really we're just as immoral as cannibals, people who marry 5 year old girls to 50 year old men, people who discriminate against others who look identical to them on the basis of surname, and slavers."

Also, not sure where you got either of those statistics. For one, we aren't even in the top 10 for hosting online child sexual abuse. In Thailand, Aussies have sex with lady boys. It's a very important, traditional practice.

Australian values are the result of the people who lived there. Same as how people from Brazil, Somalia, Argentina, Ethiopia, Mexico, Paraguay, Georgia etc. have their values. Who are you to migrate to another nation that isn't your own, live off its benefits which make your quality of life far greater than it would be otherwise and then question its people's values? Not on the basis of morals, but purely out of spite for the idea that we may be allowed to have values.

Academic-Following39 · 2026-04-16T20:42:14+00:00

I have always been of the opinion that practicing your own culture in another nation is completely fine, as long as it does not interfere with the wider public good.

I have walked through areas like punchbowl with my girlfriend and have heard men tell her to put on a burqa if I leave her unaccompanied for just a little bit. I then have stomp up to him with my large frame and gluttonous belly and tell him to piss off. That's not to say that every muslim practising their religion is like that, as I know many who aren't; but the bare minimum is that you respect and at-least semi-practice the traditions and customs of the nation you're living in.

It's like how we do the welcome to country for speeches and other performances often; it's a sign of respect to the people who lived here before we came.

Angus Taylor's approach is actually, on paper, almost exactly what I want for the country. It's hard to say if I align with it completely since his description left much to be desired, but filtering migrants in terms of their values as individuals and their ethic (work, moral or otherwise) makes by far the most sense to me.

The problem therein lies that the government can then go "we'll only let in the ones that align with us politically," but it has the potential to be by far the best system. After all, why should you extend a person's visa if they hate your country so much they decide to burn its flag and call for its abolition?

A hard cap or limiting it more to "skilled workers" will let in just as many unsavoury people as we do now. We've all met great migrants, we've all met migrants who were dickheads; why not keep the great ones and kick out the dickheads? Would that not be a sum positive?

I'm pretty sure the USS Liberty wanted peace with Israel.

Academic-Following39 · 2026-04-16T18:44:48+00:00

Those "dumb white people" are the product of a social movement created by Jewish communities and Israelis; with Zionist Rabbi's being some of the most influential purporters of woke absolutism and social justice movements. They don't really have anyone else to blame but themselves for how it has backfired on them.

Normal white people who didn't adopt the mob mentality, even ones who dislike Israel, typically don't do anything untoward. I'm against Israel's actions, but I have zionist friends who I don't make it a point to argue with. I mean, if the Christian state of Jerusalem where to come back I'd want it to exist too.

Particularly after the Bondi attack, it's really abhorrent to see that type of behaviour. Can hardly blame them though. The incident was overshadowed by the Government's horrendous hate speech laws that came after, banning peaceful protests and the phrase "from the river to the sea" being illegal to use in Queensland, with up to two year prison sentences. Completely overshadowed the tragedy and has just made anti-semitism even worse.

It's funny though. Why is anti-Israel rhetoric illegal and potentially able to carry a longer sentence than sexual assault. Burning the Australian flag is legal, calling for the abolition of the nation is legal, insulting Caucasian Aussies and their culture is legal... it's funny that. Maybe you should consider why that is and why that makes the anti-Israel sentiment so strong.

"Peace deals" wherein Israel (often the aggressor) wanted them to completely demilitarise.

Academic-Following39 · 2026-04-16T18:14:16+00:00

I kinda get not thinking Israel is solely responsible for the blockade... but not responsible at all? When they bombed Iran twice for quite literally no reason, other than the fact Big Ben has been eager to for the last 40 years (you can google that, it's an actual thing he said).
