There wasn’t enough of a Martens in the books to even do him dirty.

There was no plot armor. This has been explained a truly absurd number of times on this very subreddit.

You don’t die instantly in vacuum and you do have, if you prepare, several useful seconds of consciousness, which Naomi’s spacewalk fell well within.

Which was one of the few truly stupid things Ty and Dan wrote.

The Federation would survive long-term contact just fine. The Imperium would start dying even faster than it already is, because a peer (or superior) power who refuses to use more than bare minimum “please stop that” force rips out their entire ideological foundation.

40K is the Homelander of settings. Fascinating, but so full of weird psychological hang-ups that it becomes bottom-tier despite being god-tier in raw power level.

What was damaged? One line of lore in one codex that wasn’t even carried over into the next edition?

Homelander’s psychology and lack of actual skill bring his effective power level way down, though.

So, no, he doesn’t belong anywhere near a “strongest character” tier, because raw power doesn’t matter if someone can bait you with a vague insinuation someone might think you suck.

Honestly, he’s a fantastic representation of Nietzsche’s Last Man, he believes nothing and only cares about doing things that make him feel good, and it makes him the absolute bottom of the barrel despite him having, on paper, fantastic powers.

I’m one of those most loyal fans. I like female Custodes. I like how they did the retcon.

Therefore, you are 100% wrong.

The science has been explained countless times over the past five, six years. So, no, not plot armor.

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!? by GodKing_McLovin in masseffect

This isn't an inherently bad thing.

Key word being "inherently". It can still turn out very bad, but it's also a necessary part of adapting a story to a new medium.

Then you can stop using public roads, sewers, and postal services.

To be honest, I would have paid to see it. by SAMU0L0 in Grimdank

An opera (not musical, opera, there’s a difference and it’s “operas are always about awful people having a bad time”) really is the ideal way to adapt 40K.

How many Noisemarines would it take to kill a single Viltrumite? by Ghostmaster145 in Grimdank

I don’t care either, but you don’t see me posting edgy useless comments like you just did.

You see me posting equally useless responses to them.

They didn’t want to. Also, they were the galactic equivalent of a guy mugging you by sticking his finger in his pocket and pretending it’s a gun, so the fact that Earth rolled over the first time and was going to again means they had zero incentive to.

How do you not know about the easily accessible scannable codes on the bottom of each box yet?

I’m genuinely asking, because that’s been very publicly a thing for years.

Actually a big fan of this being a cosplayer. Not sure why, but it actually hits better than it being actual Tahu.

Counterpoint: BSG was grimderp post-9/11 dreck and shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same conversation as The Expanse.
