Some people like to call the Big E a bad dad cause he didn't cuddle his sons enough, but I reckon curing your son of super aids and then setting an evil Demon God on Fire is pretty "dad of the year" material. Speaking of which, help your dad shave his balls here : manscaped.com/majorkill

I feel like at the beginning that Emperor truly loved his sons and even humanity but now that he’s own humanity has rotted away he feels only his duty.

[@church_world_domination9357]

I agree but I also think that the emperor did love his sons and humanity but he prevented himself from caring about his sons too much because he expected some of them to betray him just like how the laughing God replaced fulghum and the Khan the emperor was legitimately surprised that fulgrim betrayed him and that the Khan didn't I think the reason he legitimately loved Horus because he didn't think he would betray him and he truly didn't because at the end when the emperor obliterated his soul and chaos left him he was like no what have I done!

[@bryanmanuel4945]

@@church_world_domination9357 The Emperor is pretty old, wouldn't be surprised he stopped caring after millennia. Seeing people he loved die, being betrayed, etc. At the end, I think he just feared caring again for something other than Mankind. He feared a love the would doom him

[@jimjamauto]

I see it as the opposite where becoming a god against his own will is a redemption arc. Space Dad thought he could achieve what he saw in his visions if he made everyone follow his rules and act in a manner to fulfill his visions like treating certain primarchs like shit instead of using his conscience. Turns out those visions were inaccurate and people wanted to worship him as a god. Now he is the will of humanity instead of the dictator of humanity

I was always a fan of the Big E being a caring but flawed father. Horus destroyed him due to his inability to hurt his son, until he realized just how far he'd gone.

Nah. That's old, old fluff.

We failed Father. You failed Your sons and we in turn failed You. And now to compound our arrogance and vainglory, we have failed all of them too. Did Horus not say You sought Godhood?

I do feel that the emperor’s opinion of guilliman’s resurrection isn’t entirely his opinion, but instead his instinctual and practical opinion. I do imagine the emperor actually loves his sons, despite his dislike of their flaws, but he hasn’t been his full self since he splintered his love and empathy in order to kill Horus. When he pulls himself together he does shoe his love to his children, but it’s just too difficult to do that constantly so all that’s left is a cranky grandad most of the time, unless someone can glue his soul back together

Guilliman remembers his "talk" with Emperor different time every time he tries to recall how it looked like. How he remembered it first time was him being very emotional and that this conversation was quick. Although Custodes that was with him remembers it - Guilliman standing and talking to himself, while being calm. This custodes also claims that it was a long "conversation" which is completely opposite of what Guilliman says. So perhaps Emperor told him A LOT more, like for example what to do right now, but made Guilliman think that he though of it himself, while also creating fake conversation that is hiding the truth. That would explain why he recalls it differently each time. As to why would Emperor do that? He might wanted to hide the plan so that chaos gods could not learn of it. Considering he can posses Guilliman's body, Emperor might simply revel parts of his plan from their conversation the moment it is crucial for Guilliman to know it.

[@guidosartorelli3811]

Maybe to hide the plan from chaos, most notably the octo-nerd, the memory of what to do and how to do stuff had to be revealed through an everchangi.g memory that gradually reveals his intentions, the custodes being uncorruptible may explain why his record states that the conversation went for a long time, a primarch though is corruptible so extra care is needed. It plays with the theme that big E moght view time differently now that he is more than human, maybe it's his way to fuck with tzeentch. Maybe the chrono strife is part of the plan, a chaotic mess in terms of timeline that might be a sort of psychic fog of war that big E uses as an advantage to manipulate events, people etc... Who knows ? Maybe he was the one to knock 13 times the bell in trayzins gallery, maybe he's the reason why fabius bile managed to create a perfect uncorrupted clone of fulgrim that just waits for the right moment to be released from stasis.

seems to me like big E planted a fragment of himself inside guilliman then and there which is why he was talking to himself (two souls or one fragment and one whole inhabiting the same body and having a convo ) which means big E can go around fucking with his mind all he wants (erasing/changing memories , visions ,psychic powers just for a laugh and ofc full on possession like what happened)

I found it quite interesting how Guilliman remembers his conversation with The Emperor differently each time he thinks about it, according to Plague Wars and Godblight. The only person to have a fully objective view of what the conversation entailed was Trajann Valoris, and he described it was Guilliman having a perfectly normal amicable conversation with nobody in particular. It's as if The Emperor has been split into countless shards of himself, and Guilliman, having the big beefy Primarch brain that he does, is actually able to converse with those shards all at once, albeit in a scattered way and he can't even remember most of it.

Guilliman likely already thought that the Emperor viewed the Primarchs more as masterfully crafted tools than as His actual children. Say what you will about Bobby G, but _none_ of the Primarchs were as acutely aware of the actual state of reality as he is; that doesn't mean that the Emperor being a dick doesn't hurt Roboute emotionally, but more that he already expected it and was able to shrug-off the disappointment. I have to disagree with this being the most-sad of the Primarchs for this revelation to occur to, however. That would have been Sanguinius; Sanguinius would have been _devastated_ to know that the Emperor never loved him... or anyone else, for that matter, including Horus.

I don't think The Emperor only sees his sons as tools.. if that were the case, he'd have put some in the bin for being useless / more work than they're worth, such as Angron. Even though he sees that Angron will die from the nails, and not able to achieve nearly what his original purpose was, he keeps him alive. Magnus is offered a second chance to come back to the Imperium, and Horus he has a hard time killing until he is given absolutely no choice and nukes his soul. Interactions with Russ and Vulkan for instance seem genuine and warm. But the Emperors' not just a man, he seems to be an amalgam of powerful aspects and some times one of those aspects seem to be more dominant than others at particular times.. While on some levels E certainly will see his sons and basically everyone in the Imperium as resources to manage, I think he also cares for them, even the messed up useless ones who hate his guts. Also by the time RG is reunited with him, E has been hooked up to the throne for 10,000 years fending off chaos... Gonna be grumpy af.

I really don't like how people interpret the conversation. "Tool" was one of the words used. But also "Son" and a number of other terms. Also, Valoris later states that his version of the conversation doesn't fit Guilliman's version. It was normal conversation for Valaris. That's odd and I would suspect that Guilliman's memory is incorrect. After all, he always seems to remember something different.

A thought just popped into my head. If the Emperor could cure the Godblight and resurrect Guilliman from all the new energy he could be gaining from the new warp tear, could it be a sign that he is slowly beginning to regenerate from his wounds from Hours as well and that we may be seeing the Emperor returning in a more stable form at some point down the line?

[@borgCube100]

I really like Big E having more of a slightly more active role. He isn't walking around destroying bitches, he's still in his chair. Only as you said, there's a sense of "there's a possibility here" which means that other races and Chaos can actually do stuff, that more Grimdark can be carried out without it being defeat for the Imperium.

As much as i loved the fresh lore with Godblight etc. i would love it if GW would just pick up the pace a bit... like the worst thing (besides the Miniature prices) is how fricking slow the story progresses, like we can all see that the current path is 90% the return of several primarchs, be it demon or loyalist but it always feels that the overall story moves forward only every 10 years or so. Its infuriating how long it takes sometimes, even the Horus Heresy took 16 years to reach Terra...

[@MrFredstt]

True. Added to this he was always a big picture kind of guy and I think sometimes that tendency would manifest in him being more distant and cold towards some of his sons. Instead of putting the big picture on the back burner and focusing on being more in the moment. Some may call Big E a badly written character for some things he's done but I believe he's simply just a complex character and not one dimensional

[@g.sergiusfidenas6650]

I like that despite probably being the brother he detest the most he admits that someone with the knowledge and skills of Lorgar would had been a great asset given the state of the Imperium after 10K years of decay and regression towards superstition; it is also heartwarming in a way that he tried to give his sons skills that were useful beyond just conquest so when The Great Crusade was finished they would had a place in the new age they helped to create through fire and war, it was a noble goal and tragically naive too. He really seems to be someone that has a very acute grasp of reality while at the same time having some idealism, seemly contradictory traits that make him interesting.

I actually don’t like how they rewrote the emperor as an amoral and utilitarian despot. When everything sucks the grimness is diluted. The true grimdark scenario can only exist when there are actually wholesome and pure characters/intentions but they get twisted and destroyed. Having the emperor be an actual loving father that wanted to take humanity forwards as his chosen children but then becoming a comatose object that is adored as a cruel god that is used to justify the aberrant state of the imperium because his most beloved son was mislead by the evil of chaos is by far a better situation than just having an uncaring and cold monarch that simply sort of got btfo, his plans got ruined and is now just a less impressive but equally as uncaring god. It seems now people think its darker to basically create a situation where good doesn’t exist in the first place, sort of like an “oh you thought this guy actually loved humanity and was relatable? Fuck you” to the fanbase, but that just makes the heresy less impactful.

For me, a lot of this came from the descriptions of the interactions with the Emperor in 'The Master of Mankind' by ADB. I felt when reading it that the Emperor was coming across as cold and distant, referring to his sons by numbers instead of names, because he was talking to a representative of the Adeptus Mechanicus. And I've always felt the Emperor reflects what his audience expects, his psychic persona - that's certainly the feeling I got from it. But then other authors ran with this representation and it became normalised in other books. The next time I see ADB on a signing, I'm going to ask him if that was the intent...

Hell I even considered making a Trilogy, or a lasting series about him because I dont want to fuck it up. 40k has a way to build somethings up, or just jerk it off like Matt Ward did, and I dont want our Legion/Chapter of marines and Primarch to be to strong right away.

Frankly? I'm FINE with Big E stepping up and providing a little plot armor to his son. You know who has had bullshit plot armor for FAR too long? CHAOS. 99 percent of its legions are warpspawn so you can't actually kill them, only banish them. Chaos space marines that despite afflictions that make them various incarnations of living death have NO problems replenishing their numbers organically with initiates (even though that SHOULD be impossible). Chaos chapters that WERE exterminated by the Imperium allowed to continue to exist and torture the Imperium for centuries after the Crusade that destroyed them because "time works differently in the Warp". And don't even get me started about the Fall of Cadia and how the initial closing of Eye of Terror somehow allowed Abbaddon and his forces to fight HARDER (instead of, you know, winking out of existence from their warp connection being severed). Chaos has had bullshit hand waving giving them freebies for too long. This is karma that's been a long time coming. Frankly I hope Big E kills every last one of the Chaos Gods.
