  • The Man-Emperor of Mankind once hunted down several bloodlines of vampires on Terra under the alias of Big D.
  • @jesusojeda7850
    "The emperor was in good terms with the eldar/didn't want to destroy them" Guilliman likes this.
  • No mention of his sense of humor? The passcode to get into his personal gene labs is Shave and a Haircut, 2 bits
  • @LuciusSicarius
    9:20 "The Emperor wasn't always god tier or mega powerful." ".... So anyway, the Big E beat up a shard of the Void dragon."
  • @coolnamebro7363
    Russ: "Haha I out-drank you and out-ate you!" Big E: "Yes, very impressive my son." Leman: "Man your dad must've had a weak liver and stomach!" Big E: 'Golden belt crack sound effect.'
  • 6:36 The real reason why the Perpetuals left Big E: He kept making too many pop culture references and shout-outs that no one understand nowadays but them, which they can't take it anymore.
  • Also you forgot to mention the secret knock he told Corvus Corax to get into his lab. Shave and a haircut, two bits. Goes to show that the emperor has a sense of humor.
  • Big E: "FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT THE MESSIAH!!!" Pre-Heresy Lorgar and Word Bearers: "He is The Messiah!"
  • @rasyian
    Sometimes I'm just imagine that emperor created a small realm for human souls in the warp and Legion of the damned is dead space marine whose souls were saved by him
  • @silverdust4197
    So that is why the emperor said he didn't like his uncle that much in TTS . I thought it was a throwaway joke but no , it ties back to his history. Neat .
  • The Chaos Gods love the Emperor. Khorne loves him for his unending wars Nurgle loves him for his unyielding will to endure and how his Imperium rots. Slaanesh loves him for the exquisite pain Big-E is always in. Tzeentch loves him for his convoluted unending scheming.
  • @nobleman9393
    The Emperor's Uncle killed his Father to take his fields for himself btw.
  • I still think the Emperor being too attached to Horus to be able to kill him, suffering fatal wounds in the process, only for Horus to open Emps' eyes by obliterating Ollanius Pius, resulting in the Emperor obliterating Horus, makes for a more thematic ending. That in-spite of the Emperor's superiority to man, and his love for his sons, he was still able to recognise his true purpose- to destroy Chaos, his true love- a love of mankind.
  • @bendevine5477
    I can not be the only one who felt sad that the emporor never got to retire and hang out with his sons Imagine how wholesome that would be. Even conrade, angron and Perterarbo would smile
  • @nobleman9393
    Chaos Gods: Oh man, If only we didn't eat his uncle, he could have tell us the Emperor's true name.
  • Why turn a demon into a sword? Seems a spoon would be less of a future problem.
