That’s Fair. It is still sci if fantasy escapism but I think they could do it in a tasteful non goofy way like Peter Jackson did with lord of the rings

There’s this YouTube series called astrates which was produced by one guy. It’s amazing. if it was presented anything like that I think it would great and appeal to a larger audience.

that's the way it's great though. that's what made it stand out from other fantasy universes at the time. i still really like it

most people weren't necessarily familiar with the game of thrones or lord of the rings either and they're great. alot of people would have also just considered them niche nerd stuff until the films and tv shows came out. i think Warhammer could be really good if it was adapted and targeted towards a big audience

there was this youtube series called Astartes that was produced by one person and it's amazing. if HBO did something similar I'd be so happy

the appeal of the game is how dark and gritty the universe is.

every faction in the game is evil to morally grey. the humans in the game all worship an evil demi-god who they sacrifice thousands of souls too every day keep him alive and in order to conduct space travel. they destroy, pillage, and dominate anyone that also doesn't worship him and consider them to be heritics if they also don't worship him. they're evil

it doesn't matter which faction you chose to play as you're always the bad guy on some level but that can be inherently fun. Everyone gets to be the bad guy!!! it's really niche and nerdy but i really like it. i think the universe, lore and aesthetic are also pretty cool
