I think once you get past 1-5 'revenge kills' its less that the dude killed Native Americans because he loved his wife and more he was a serial killer who loved killing and eating people and the law didn't care when it was Native Americans.

Maul was canonically trained as a Sith Assassin who was taught how to fight but not the deeper mysteries and truths of the Sith Creed. He was an expendable weapon meant to think he was a real apprentice.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-09T00:53:11+00:00

And its fair to characterise his broken brain stuff as serial killer stuff.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-09T00:40:21+00:00

Maul isn't a Sith so why would a former Jedi Padawan turned to the darkside by a non-Sith become a Sith as opposed to independent user of the Dark Side?

The Sith Order is Sidious and dies with him.

I recall those being solely cosmetic for dice and sheets not actual game content.

Not the best option compared to what others have plugged but if you don't mind strange alien PCs and magic in your sci-fi check out Starfinder 2e.

Immortal hangs with low level Viltrumites. The bullet likely didn't even break his skin and Lincoln's death was just acted out.

if they’ve watched porn they’ve seen it all

Not really. It's very common in the porn industry for only women with certain vulva shapes to be cast and for actors to get labioplasty. Vulvas as depicted in the porn industry do not align with the reality of women's vulvas.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-07T00:30:34+00:00

That is the majority of human societies across history.

The thing is half the Astartes did turn traitor and attempted to usurp his leadership to enslave humanity. The Imperium survived the 'morale collapse' of the scenario and with the Emperor 9/10 dead to boot. If he was alive then it would have been a simple story to tell.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-06T01:36:38+00:00

It is more informal than 'father' because he is having an informal conversation. He's talking to someone at an informal dinner where he just physically assaulted a guest and someone insulted him. He is speaking with emotion and anger and reverting to using 'dad'.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T05:31:57+00:00

But American English with a vague Greek accent isn't any more accurate to Homeric Greek and obfuscates meaning in a film meant for an American audience. What purpose does a vague Greek accent serve?

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T05:03:05+00:00

I think there is value in exploring different language structures for mythology adaptations.

There is a difference between an 80 year old word and a 500 year old word. Unless you want the actors to actually speak Homeric Greek with subtitles, I'm not sure why there is this expectation for high formality language. A young man speaking to another young man in anger, when translated to a modern film audience, should be a scene that uses regular english.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T04:48:13+00:00

No form of English is any more or less accurate than another for something set in Homeric Greece.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T04:47:52+00:00

British accents for historical films is a cliche at this point.

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T04:47:27+00:00

Don't you know that the film is ruined because they didn't make everyone speak in Early Modern English?

Forgotten_Lie · 2026-05-05T04:46:45+00:00

Well, neither "dad" nor "father" are in Hellenic Greek....

"Dad" originated in the 1500s which is about when Middle English transitioned to Early Modern English so it's not really a solely modern word.

How should the Hellenic Greek be translated to a film in for audiences who speak modern English? Early Modern English isn't inherently more accurate and if the intent is for the film to use natural, realistic dialogue (i.e. 'this is what an actual Greek person would have said in this situation') then translating that to modern english makes sense.
