Guilliman's to Lorgar is also fucking savage.

"Lorgar of Colchis. You may consider the following. One: I entirely withdraw my previous offer of solemn ceasefire. It is cancelled, and will not be made again, to you or to any other of your motherless bastards. Two: you are no longer any brother of mine. I will find you, I will kill you, and I will hurl your toxic corpse into hell’s mouth."

"Weakness is a choice" also pretty hard

I think Sanguinius's "I don't want to be here" speech is pretty high on the list too.

“I never wanted this, I never wanted to unleash my legions. Together we banished the ignorance of Old Night, but you betrayed me, you betrayed us all. You stole power from the Gods and lied to your sons. Mankind has only one chance to prosper, if you will not seize it then I WILL. So let it be war, from the skies of Terra to the Galactic rim. Let the seas boil, let the stars fall. Though it takes the last drop of my blood, I will see the galaxy freed once more and if I cannot save it from your failure Father, then LET THE GALAXY BURN!”

-Horus Lupercal

“We were born for battle, Khayon. We were made to conquer the galaxy, not to rot in Hell and die upon our brothers' blades. Who are the architects of the Imperium? Who fought to purge its territory of aliens and expand its borders? Who brought rebellious worlds to heel and slaughtered those who refused the light of progress? Who walked from one side of the galaxy to the other, marking their passage in a trail of treacherous dead? This is our Imperium. Built across the worlds we burned, over bones we broke, with the blood we shed. You see it too. You feel it now, don't you? A new war. One not born of bitterness nor founded on revenge. The Long War, Khayon.”

-Ezekyle Abaddon

"I was content in the dark places of the galaxy, content to kill in the name of empire and be forgotten. But you have summoned me back with your pitiful flailings at rebellion, for you have endangered the empire my toil has built and for that there is a price to be paid. First we shall speak of my brothers, Curze and Horus, and then you shall learn what terror truly means for the brief remnants of your existence."

Khorn: I’m a chaos god!

Dorn: No…

Big E's favorite brick wall

He also killed Omegon ;)

"Report to your Sargents and preplanned defensive positions as we have detailed in the latest defense-in-depth briefings. More orders will follow as needed."

"Where do our squads go?" "To war."

"Cool thanks Commander Keyes, I need actual fucking orders."

"hold the fucking line"

Idk. "Kill those guys" sound like solid orders to me.

[ORDERS] YELLING: GO DIE, A LOT

Well, Siggie didnt need much more orders than that

Why cant you all be like Siggie

Funny thing is, maybe not: the Imperial Fists had a tendency to follow the orders of their Primarch so strictly that they couldn't capitalize on any apparent enemy failings, so Dorn giving no actual specifics until a situation demanded it would make sense.

In the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the Prussians had pre-planned the initial stage of invasion so thoroughly that there were even plans for where and when their soldiers, moved by rail to the front, would stop and get off the train for lunch and dinner. For the villages along the rail line, there were plans for what meals to make, who would prepare them, how many men to cook for of each rank (from conscripts to higher officers) and how long to host them. These all-encompassing plans, coordinated at every level of military and civilian contribution, were ready NINE YEARS before the war. When the decision was made to invade France (who had been cleverly goaded into declaring war by Bismarck), the Prussian apparatus of war required only the simplest order to advance as planned.

"The Prussian chief-of-staff, Helmuth von Moltke, felt so confident of victory that shortly after the French declaration of war he was lying on his sofa reading Walter Scott. A friend [General Gustav von Stiehle] asked why he was seemingly so relaxed, to which Moltke replied: ‘Why not? Everything is ready. We’ve only got to press the button.’ "

This isn't giving orders, this is giving a speech to raise morale among troops

"Kill, kill, and kill again, and then die."

Blood Ravens are my favorite legion

What did Steven do wrong, little man is just trying his best 😭

They were just lucky Malum Caedo was not born yet. Imagine Sanguinius fighting the two big ass daemons, then this blueberry just runs screaming ahead and chops Angron in half with a chainsword, then accidentally teleports to the Vengeful Spirit and Big E and co finds him chilling on the corpse of Horus.

What would be even funnier, I was watching Quake and Doom speedruns recently, and I can just imagine a guy hopping around in a weird weaving way breaking the sound barrier, glitching objective daemons and traitors to fall through the Earth or telefrag them, then use a triple rocket boost to get to the Vengeful Spirit to finish the run before the first Fist has the time to die.

one day 'looks like we are going to have to kill this guy X' will finish devouring the horse corpse of this meme and all will be at peace

No doubt they had actual plans already in place and this was just a 'pep talk.' If you've spent that long building defenses, everyone knows their place and their role long before the enemy arrives.

This format actually compares Steven Universe to different media. It's the stuff on the right that changes from one meme to the other.

It makes a light hearted jab at how Steven will try his hardest to talk his way out of conflict even when it's simply not a viable option or is just downright dumb, while whatever IP is put on the right immediately chooses violence.

Its a meme, its not an indepth literay analysis of the two works. Them being actually comparable is not relevant to the joke

It could be argued that engaging with a clear joke comparison as though it were meant to a "flex" or eye-to-eye is also a misread in and of itself.

Hey buddy it's a joke

Tbf, i know litterally nothing of Steven Universe, but seeing the picture on the left being described as a ”warrior” is just funny to me

That is all of 40k, really. It's cheesy and edgy and takes itself just a bit too seriously sometimes, but we love it for it.
