Lion El'Jonson: The Most Noble Primarch | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@Dave-nz4iu]

THE LION NEVER BEAT ANYONE?!?!?! He stomped Kurze multiple times in multiple books. Sanguineous, in the book 'the unremembered empire', when hunting for kurze, found him in Sang's own throne room. Sang let Kurze go because by reading the future he found it just as likely for Kurze to him him as the other way around. Kurze disemboweled Dorn in a fit of mistaken rage. Rus has said he doesn't know that he could defeat Kurze or Sang in a 1v1. Multiple Primarchs RAN from kurze, including Corax. And the Lion beat him 3 times. There are multiple passages in the book where guilliman says the lion is the only brother he looked up to/ felt intimidated by. He also said Horus was jealous of the Lion and when he was granted the title of warmaster, it was over the lion that he felt the most pride. The lion beat rus in a brawl. He met with peterobo (after the iron warriors were traders but before the lion knew) with just a small contingent, but peterobo didn't dare try to take him on. This video is FILLED with inaccuracies. Because the vast majority of people just repeat inaccurate info the got from a glance at the wiki, there's more bad information then good with videos like these. Don't trust claims anyone tells you without citing chapter and book(s) for where they're pulling their info from.

Lion El'Jonson: The Savage Noble Leman Russ: The Noble Savage

[@masteroftheassassins]

I would say that Lion became noble after his return 10,000 years later

[@daanbenschop3741]

I just finished; The Lion: Son of the Forest, it was such a great story.

[@jpd1967jd]

Ive heard you talk much more positively of traitor Primarchs. Good story but I definitely think this falls under twisted lore. I disagree with this point of view of the Lion.

[@mykelengieza7057]

If the Emperor wanted an enemy killed, he sent Leman. When he wanted them gone, it was the Lion and the 1st.....

The only one of the primarks the emperor did question loyalty of .

[@brianfarris5676]

The lion bodied curze hard “You’ve lost the only weapon that would’ve killed me” Whips bolter out and unloads in curze face point blank “Surprise!”

Who knew the Emperor of all Mankind was such a Triple H fan that he made one of his sons in his image?

[@Jaeger_Bishop]

Odd way to say "Rogal Dorn", when it comes to most popular Primarchs, but ok.

[@happytime2781]

Most popular in terms of tablestop astartes army maybe and if then next to Ultramarines. If it comes to popularity of the primarch alone I believe Sanguinius is most loved ❤

Only to those who are fanboying.. The lore is the lore. Johnson has many questionable actions.

Love the thumbnail, Robert Plant is an awesome looking Primarch!

[@kymaticus]

Great content, keep up the emperors work. Thank you for naming the books. After watching your content, I dig deep into the books.

[@shadowgod1797]

noble? lion is not noble he is a beast and in fact act like one.

[@patrickwebster9153]

Arguable that he is borderline noble in the new lore, post nap.

For the ALGORITHM! Hope you get to that 50k subscriber mark soon!

Awesome Primarchs true list: 1-17 Konrad Kurze (mostly non canon versions) 18-20 Rogal Dorn (TTS version)

[@JKavanagh-tq8rp]

Oh and Perturabo and Angron duh. I knew I was forgetting some others

[@AustinFarrara]

Corvus and sangunuis are my favorite

[@claytondora]

"Back when the Necron were depicted as soulless killers and the Emperor wasn't portrayed with such contempt" Very tongue in cheek, this one. I approve.

[@happytime2781]

Lion was possibly last primarch I had very small knowledge about so that great material helps me to catch up, thank you 🙏😊

[@seanbrazell7095]

I think the Lion is behaving so uncharacteristically empathically and forgivingly because that cast away shard of the Emperors soul - the part that holds his hope, his empathy, and his altruism - is LITTERALY a part of the Lions soul itself. It explains all the contradictions between old Lion and newvLion.

[@hunterrogers4116]

Maybe he split it between all of the loyal sons to keep them from falling to chaos to like a fail safe idk if he could even do that I'm still somewhat new into Warhammer lore

[@hunterrogers4116]

That would mess with the star child prophecy though

[@MaticustheRed]

Or he grew as a person...?

[@TK1129]

Lion has had a lot of character development. More likeable since his return.

[@fleece8613]

i suppose gilliman most popular but only because sanguinius is dead

[@MaticustheRed]

The Knights belonged to Orders, not Chapters.

[@kevinr.1567]

"Hallo 🙂👋"

[@David-li4uw]

Guilliman is the most popular primarch? Really???

[@SuperVolsung]

Lionel Johnson just doesn't have the same ring to it. Sounds like an accountant from Wigan

[@davidcox6454]

The lion only beat curze after he lost his mind. And of course because games workshops wrote it that way lol

[@jimboonlyone]

So the lion has asburgers?

[@erichoughton4128]

This is a garbage take on the lion. He was not the friendliest but he was never meant to be. He was the ONLY Primarch who understood the true nature of chaos before the Emperor. The ONLY Primarch to be hunted as prey not a prize. His development has been immense and his loyalty never questioned by big e

[@DeusExMachina10001]

Most noble? Lion el'Jonson was the single greatest exterminator in the entire 40k setting. He's killed more humans than any other person, or any other faction, in the 40k universe other than maybe the Nids and Chaos as a whole. He's got an entire section of his legion specifically dedicated to committing war crimes that make the Death Guard and Night Lords look cute. Yes in 40k he's gotten quite a personality makeover, which he desperately needed, and the illusion of Curze lampshading what an absolute bastard the Lion was was some desperately needed author awareness. However, the Lion's got a long, loooong way to go before he could, on the whole, be considered noble. Dorn, Guilliman, Vulkan, Magnus (pre daemon), Corax, Horus (pre Chaos), Sanguinius, Fulgrim (pre daemon) and the Khan all beat him in nobility by a country mile.

[@thomasfricker7330]

This is by far the best stuff

[@Jammyg1t]

The narrator sounds like an Ultramarine fanboy. Why is it structured like he is anti lion lol

[@chrisangus7078]

Very much anti lion .

[@logangilstrap6060]

Don't like ur talking trash about the 1st!

[@levistapleton930]

I do not like this. You have some very odd opinions that I think are loosely based on the lore.

[@jameskazd9951]

rowboat girlyman is over rated, the lion is more interesting but that aint saying much, pretty much every primarch is more interesting than Guiliman

[@auning]

I very much enjoy your videos, but please don’t start with “women and intelligent horses” as if it’s a gender thing (4:00 to 4:18). Descent of Angels is writen by Mitchel Scanlon, blame him, but please keep the sarcastic tone towards women respectful 🙏

[@devzeppelin1911]

Rogal Dorn will always be number 1

[@shanepatrick4534]

You ignored Sanguinius, as we all know, he's the best primarch.

[@Curze-rf7zk]

A bit biased. Was poorly delivered. Hate him or love him.....the Lion is and will always be the most deadly primarch.

[@davidcox6454]

Says dark angels fans lol everybody thinks their guy is the best but really it’s whoever games workshop chooses to make it

[@scottrussell3862]

The was the first and will always be the first.

[@ryankyle2467]

I like the Lion! Not so much his Space Marines!?! And after the Lion came back, I thought it was kinda cool……… but definitely not who I was hoping for!?!

[@michaelthehatefulhuman2121]

Was this made by Luther?

[@melikithdracospawn7221]

Wasn't vulkan the most noble though?

[@truckingjoe7715]

Lol sounds like you are just as upset about the lore changes as the rest of us.

[@not_zaknefarious]

May the God-Emperor bless you Iterator.

[@JKavanagh-tq8rp]

Bleh Lionel "no not Lionel. Lion El," Johnson is one of the daffiest characters old GW came up with. I'm not surprised the new GW with their 50 shades of cringe and cope have dragged this mistake out of the closet for thinking it was a good idea the first time around. Why bring back Girlyman in the first place if you're going to just give his character arc away to this Disney Figurine? Pffft clueless, absolutely clueless GW I'm sorry Richard Attenbrough but it had to be said.

[@JKavanagh-tq8rp]

Your documentaries are cool no matter the subect

[@GideonWallace]

The bias makes this impossible to listen to, it's not even enjoyable.

[@Eleonora_16p]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@LifeDrinker0]

Not as strong as Vulkan Vulkan would pimp slap lion without getting angry at all 😊

[@nekiyia]

The Lion doesn't sound good at all. Especially with his animal extinction program. I think I really despise this dude. He might be better than the other Primarchs, but that ain't saying sh$!.

[@GotMesomeMe]

He was a wild animal raised in the woods by animals basically. He was basically a wild animal until Luther took him in and taught him how to be human but....he was not socialized; and probably the only Primark totally dialed into his senses like he had to hone living in the dirt. Plus caliban is like.... The big weird ass warp twisted jungle with a huge animals. Poor bastard. No wonder he turned out such a weirdo

[@chrisangus7078]

Think this very much a hater of the lion .
