 No.12604

Remember when Ventress wasn't an ex-Jedi from a clan of matriarchial fanfiction-tier witches with daddy issues, Grievous wasn't a punchline and Durge wasn't consigned to the dustbin of history?

I'd gladly give up Darth Maul coming back if it meant we could get this glorious triumvirate being the bane of the Republic's existence while Count Dooku is being a classy mastermind instead of a comically evil douche.

>Remember when Ventress wasn't an ex-Jedi

No. The comics came first, and that was always her origin. Republic #60 was released alongside the cartoon and confirmed this.

>Durge

Durge, again, was a comics thing. Grievous was created afterwards, and Lucas felt the two were too similar. Hence, we got Cad Bane instead.

I usually have mixed feelings about Clone Wars and I can forgive a lot of things, but the two things I just could not stand were the changes to Dooku's character and Ventress's origin story. I mean its fine to change an origin story a bit when the original one was shit, but to take a superior comic and completely discard all the cool shit it offered is a bitch. And they even made fucking Rattatak a Siniteen planet and made turned the Rattataki into fucking Siniteen.

>I'd gladly give up Darth Maul coming back if it meant we could get this glorious triumvirate being the bane of the Republic's existence while Count Dooku is being a classy mastermind instead of a comically evil douche.

This.

Literally how?

I think Lucas has 2 problems its his hate of Jedi killers and the idea of Grey Jedi or Jedi who dont go one way.


 No.12639

>>12622

Durge and Grievous.

>Both show very little, if any, bare flesh and could easily be mistaken for a droid

>Both are commanders of droid forces that have reported directly to Dooku

>Both are alien war veterans

>Both 1v1'd Obi Wan in a straight fight

>neither are force users

Fact is, Durge has a jetpack and can do akira shit without armor, Grievous has 4 arms and lightsabers, but ultimately they're both secondary villains who function essentially the same in a given story. Having both together would be a mistake, and no way was Durge taking priority over Grievous.


 No.12640

I don't much care about the ex-Jedi thing, it certainly goes a ways to explaining how she can take on a coliseum of pit-fighters single handedly, but the Nighstsisters shit, that ticks me off, it was such an utterly superfluous thing, it added nothing of substance all in all someone must have been sucking some serious dicks to get that crap put to screen.

The Nightsisters were present in the EU since the courtship of princess Leia. They were a different faction of force users that used the force completely differently. And all female, so ideal for the show that forced Ahsoka on us.

Oh yeah. Let's have Grievous and make him everyone's bitch instead.


 No.12655

>>12643

I honestly wondered why the show tried to present that as something tragic. Are we supposed to feel sorry for these bitches after all they did and how they fucked over Ventress's character? I mean, did they forget that they were basically breeding male zabraks and turning them into mindless warrior slaves and transformed Maul's brother from a simple and humble person to an absolute monster?

>neo/pol/ loves 40k despite racism being outlawed in the majority of hive cities and humanity being a mutt civilization of hypocrites

Then again that one sort of fits with you lot these days.

>imperium is portrayed as hating anything that is remotely reminiscent of chaos and anything can inspire it, except trannies and other faggotry (despite it all having close ties to Slaanesh) because sexism, xenophobia, hive city racism and interworld bigotry are fine, but faggotryphobia is going too far

It became bad now, but it used to be good. Unlike Cuck Wars which was always bad.

And keep in mind, they are doing fine for grimdark.

Enjoy your non-grimdark series with no worthy fanstuff, you heretic.

I was only 16 or so when I first got interested in 40k, so it's not implausible. 1d4chan becoming a normie-friendly place with a small-but-vocal coalition of lefty mods probably helped bring this about.

NO.

It did not fall, and we reversed much of the damage inflicted. Not to say that there isn't some left-wing silliness remaining, but give us some damned credit. Also, compared to ED, of course it's comparatively normie-friendly. It's always had a watered-down tint of image board culture simply for ease of use.

Honestly, this moron's just a shitposter. A shitposter who derailed the Ventress thread.

With dumb politics and remember muh good ol' 4chan guiz. Seriously fuck off back to /tg/ or something. /sw/ is an actual original board yet the only ones that keep 8chan alive are fucking knock offs of 4chan which complain about 4chan or blame 4chan,SJWs, or anything else but themselves about any problems on 8chan. Seriously I only come to this website for /sw/ now.

So those 1d4chan reclamation threads I did ~two years ago (jesus has it really been that long) had a lasting effect? Relieved to hear it, I must admit to losing track of everything going on for a little while.

None of us have said that. Ever. And not in either post you quoted. We're talking about 1d4chan which is a tabletop encyclopedia with has ties to halfchan but has always been a tabletop parody encyclopedia (with some actual information to share) for everyone with a true love for table top to enjoy. Calm your tits my duderino.

Forgefather, is that you? I was one of those guys who helped out in the threads too. I was the "crusade speech" guy who set down some more goals.

Are you drunk, or do you just have abysmal reading comprehension? Because this shitflinging is not only counter-productive but outright stupid. You wanna talk about problems from within? Well how about not trying to stoke conflict between boards, you gormless faggot.

They started threatening people over having jokes that were "too offensive" or sexist. Like all the Kiss Player humor. There's also some admins there now who identify as genderfluid or therian or some shit, but the real kicker is all the Steven Universe references creeping up everywhere.

Not for a while, but I've been distracted with the new job and other projects since late april. If we wanted to get going again with concerted efforts, we might need your expertise. I briefly tried to go for a third thread, but that sputtered out. Still, it's great to know you're still here, and in an unexpected place to boot.

I'd be open to continuing efforts, provided we can recruit one or two others to assist. Now I better stop making references to a named account on another site before I'm bullied off the board, god knows I'm teetering dangerously close to namefaggotry with this special snowflake flag.
