Explain.
Despite the deep lore, there has never been an actually good film adaptation of Warhammer 40k

Warhammer is impossible to adapt especially today.
The budget requirements for a horus heresy film would demand avengers tier production costs and no studio is gonna cough that up EVER.
Also netflix adaptation with black tranny emperor syndrome would occur

Games Workshop is critically cheap(as anyone who bought pewter models in the early 2000s knows) and has a long history of licensing its IP to the lowest bidder, which is why fanmade 40k games and media are often better than official ones.
Brody Jackson
Astartes and its spin-off might be the best we'll get.

its actually not that deep
Colton Flores
But consider the financial returns!
The fanbase of 40k is literally known for coughing up insane amounts of money for plastic shit.
It's insane not to invest in a movie adaptation.
Levi Scott
how hard is it to make an animated series of some sorts
Michael Hernandez
its a childish meme setting designed to sell action figures to manchildren
Brandon Wilson
You need to build up warhammers profile like Marvel and you need a miracle of every movie doing well and introducing enough normies to the setting.
Whats the lowest budget warhammer story you can think of? Guardsmen film?
anyway current politics i dont want anyone to make a film
Luis Nelson
there are tonnes of good fantasy and sci-fi books/games that are great but will never be adapted, normies just don’t like that stuff
Colton Murphy
guarsmen btfo by tyranids with space marines saving the day, normies will eat it up
either full cgi or live action with practical effects

Why did sci-fi as a whole just... sort of died?
That "Ready Player One" trash actually got made into a movie when other source materials in the genre just languished.
Fantasy to a lesser degree as well.
Caleb Brown
Fucking heretics, get your asses back here!

It has a lot of lore but not a good story. Lore is not story and a movie needs a story.
Joshua Moore
>a few minute of fan film
Yeah... no. I'll give you that it's painstakingly details at places, but it's literally fanservice with no actual plot or character.
Charles Allen
Why did SPACE sci-fi die? Sad thing is, if it wasn't for Marvel, we wouldn't even have had a single decent adventure movie set in outer space in the last, what 20 years?

Just remake starship troopers rethemed to the imperium, with bugs=nids and have cgi space marines save the day at the end. still probably wouldnt make money
Hudson Butler
Thats for yu gi oh players
Anthony Long
Because Games are fucking paranoid lunatics who won't let anyone near their IP.
Jordan Smith
FUCKING SLAVES
Ian Collins
Cheaper would be a film about rogue trades discoveeing a genestealer infested spacehulk ending with them and the space hulk bein obliterated by a proper space marine response force

There's disturbing amount of gachi x 40k content
Jackson Smith
True.
That is also why MCU made billions.
Imagine that movie series but with Astartes, daemons, xenos filth and glorious loyal brotherhood moments interlinked with bastardly TRAITOR gasping.
The material for countles unforgettable characters is there. Ready to adapt. But Hollywood is guaranteed to water it down to generic scifi fantasy.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong planet. The eye of terror is in the segmentum obscura.
Jaxson Russell
Because of all the dumb manbabies who unironically look up to the xenophobic fascist bloated bureaucracy of the imperium as something to be desired and replicated, to the point of even calling their cheeto-haired father surrogate the "God-Emperor".
Hunter Parker
McNeil ruined Fulgrim and Abnett/French ruined Alpharius. Kyle is a BBC lover
Aiden Phillips
Kyme*
Blake Perez
Because disney ruined starwars and it's put the entire genre into a shitty area no one wants to fuck around in.

Dropsite Massacre could work but Siege of Terra wouldn't. The Palace is too big. We are talking about continent spanning complex with kilometres tall walls. It's too big to comprehend or contain on a screen.
Brody Baker
It’s lore is too deep for a film adaptation
Dominic Lewis
BULL FUCKING SHIIIIT

Fuck you with your lack of imagination, modern CGI can do wonders.
