Necromonger Empire Origins - This Merciless Cult Wants To Kill All Humanity For Promised Underverse

[@gfgffdd]

I love the necromongers. They are just so evil but in the same time so stylish.

[@ozymandiasnullifidian5590]

They are disgusting, as stylish as any apocalyptic cult.

[@delltawnnorthri7459]

They aren't evil at all. They are going to end life which will end suffering. They are the good guys.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

They aren’t evil in the sense that they do things for the sake of being evil. They do those things because they believe that it’s an integral part of their faith and sacred duty as the Chosen of the Underverse. It doesn’t excuse what they do, but it does add depth to them. To them, they are the Good Guys. To us, they’re the spawn of Satan +10

[@eviltwinzak]

Evil is a point of view dictated by society.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

I love that Covu’s last act was to walk away into the Underverse, at peace with what he had built and confidant that his successor would continue his legacy. Leaders that are willing to let go of their power are rare, and those that do so not out of fear or hatred are rarer still. I expect that he saw something beyond the Threshold: the figure of a woman, with two young children at her side, beckoning him to join them in peace and eternal joy. I might even dare to wager that he smiled for the first time in years when he saw it.

[@grandparedpill2695]

George Washington did this, because of his great hero Cincinnatus, the retired Roman general who became imperative during a time of war, and when the war had ended and he was victorious, he rode back to Rome and immediately relinquished his title back to the Senate. Then retired on his farm.

[@azazelsiad3601]

@@grandparedpill2695exactly true men seek power to use it to build and make great things and then let those things flourish. You stifle them if you try to control every aspect of them or overbear on them. It limits the potential of what you create.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

@@azazelsiad3601Precisely. Of course it helps that Covu never really wanted power to begin with; he was just a preacher who thought things were different to the established dogma, and he was punished for it. He only partook of the gifts of the Underverse after he was left with nothing, not even hope. When he came back, he realized that there was a greater purpose for him, that it was his most _sacred_ duty to seek out his torturers and show the true path to them. I like him because he’s the exact opposite of an evil overlord; certainly he did terrible things in the name of faith, but in the end he knew that his time was done. The Necromongers didn’t need an eternal leader, they needed a legend, to guide them on their quest. And so that’s exactly what he became.

[@adrianokury]

The cast is stellar, full of premium performances, but for me Colm Feore and Linus Roache are perfect.

[@Jayjay-vh1jg]

There really needs to be a TV show or more movies with them...

[@toy5965]

Good fuckin idea.

[@gfgffdd]

Yes i would love to see them conquer different worlds. Maby even fighting alien races.

[@rollin-kimblecroskey9110]

A TV show would most likely water them down too much.

[@guyguy3218]

A tv show would be cool.

[@memesfromdeepspace1075]

ITS look like "washed" fersion of warhamer 40 k

[@olepigeon]

I really liked the concept of the Necromongers. What made their fanaticism so dangerous was because it was tied to a real truth: their religion is true. They have physical evidence and proof of an afterlife through the Threshold, and the prospect of being able to even return from said afterlife. No other religion in that universe can make such a claim. The irony of the Necromongers conquering New Mecca and converting Muslims is beautiful.

[@MikeTall88]

Yeah! In contrast, you have the "gods" from star gate, who's religion is not true, but it's just technology.

[@SeviathTheHumanDrago]

I like the way this guy thinks. Legit if I was a spectator and saw a dude get his soul ripped from his body in front of me, I'd join immediately because they obviously have the right idea on who to follow. Mayhaps if your will is strong enough you too could access the underverse and it's power.

[@rogeliovaldez9689]

i was thinking the exact thing, necromonger aggressive religious expansion mirrors how Islam spread through jehad and in book dogma that saw others as less(to be fair other religious and cultural populations do something similar), hence why in the movie they have disdain for anybody else and call them breeders.

[@limitlesssky3050]

@@rogeliovaldez9689 all the Abrahamic religions are the same. Catholics and Christians are super vicious too.

[@rogeliovaldez9689]

@@limitlesssky3050 your absolutely right but I don't think you fully read out what i was saying. i was speaking towards certain religious tenants or messages, not individuals. in the quran it is justifiable to make war or jehad on those who do not practice islam ( hence some extremist sects) and it is how islam initially spread in the middle east and north africa ect.. different from how other Abrahamic faiths did initially. this is ironic as olepigeon points because the necromongers tenant is that life should not exist and not procreate as a result the only way to spread the faith would be through conversion/violence otherwise they won't reach their goals. in both cases war on the non-believers was justifiable in both a practical and spiritual sense. this is why Islam won and why very few if any Christians, Jews, and native Copts of Egypt and Zoroastrians of Iran exist as the Roman and Persian empire became overwhelmed by the Arabs. the history is very interesting i suggest u look it up

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

I'm really excited to Riddick 4, and to know more about Furyans and their home planet.

[@kinglouie2269]

There are some similarities between the Necromongers and the Roman empire - especially in terms of elaborate architecture, sculpture, armour, technological advancement, leadership and religion. And even size, scale and grandeur. First time I saw Chronicles, I thought the Necromongers were a bit like the Romans but in space. Really cool concept.

[@neal6473]

This is deep and thank you for the history of the Necromongers.

[@TheSwordfish009]

Sad we live in a world where we have 9 Fast and Furious movies but have to pull teeth to get frequent installations of an amazing imaginative space epic like the Riddick franchise... Most people are so dumb and lazy.

[@JoseMartinez-ig4lx]

And another one on the way if you can believe it 😪

[@californiacombativesclub202]

No let ppl enjoy things

[@charlesthetuna3091]

Honestly, I like it better that way. Do you want Riddick to become a washed out meme? Or remain a cult classic? The last Riddick was a treat and if they do another it will be a treat too. But pumping them out like F&F would ruin it. Each film would have less and less creative passion for the character. If you want more Riddick in your life I recommend trying the video games. Both were solid games and what's better than watching Riddick than becoming Riddick?

[@Astartes-6969]

There's a theory online that the Riddick Films, Event Horizon, and Judge Dredd take place in the same Universe and are set in the past of Warhammer 40k. *THAT IS AWESOME*

[@gfgffdd]

Yeah i realy like that.

Can't wait to see....FURYA.

gonna be dope

[@RudKip]

Epic video thank you!

[@DocWolph]

This sounds so much like a Stargate antagonist. I do not know why it took me this long to realize this.

[@maundamartin59]

It would be a helluva thing to see DARTH VADER GO HEAD UP WITH THE LORD MARSHALL.

[@cx5870]

Keep em coming👍

[@D3V1LDR1V3R]

Where does all this information come from

[@Rah1381]

Excellent

[@tylerstewart3181]

I find the word "cult" an interesting descriptive choice here. A half-dead man literally took a soul before their very eyes. But their faiths are not a cult? If anything, the necromonger faith, at least in this universe, proved itself to be true.

[@cortilusgrant7675]

The Necrmongers vs The Borg ?🌹🌚👍Rest in the good news ⚘ okay bye

[@o-wolf]

The Chronicles of Riddick: Furyra or Last Son of Furya would be better titles tbh

[@toy5965]

I prefer Fast and the Furya

[@gentelmanjunkie542]

i missed the part of the movie all this info was in

[@joachimdeussen]

Yes i also wondered if they all seen a totally different version than i did.

[@m_d1905]

This info was provided in the DVD release in the bonus features. Also in the novelization of Chronicles of Riddick.

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Nice

[@hilltop9524]

Some cool lad: "just bow and say some words and you're one of us" Some edgy emo: "you have to, like, spend a year on a sadistic sex wing and feed on the pains of the flesh to be one of us"

[@TheCorrodedMan]

There’s more to it then just bowing and saying some words, but yeah that about sums it up.

[@thegiantswordworkout]

What happened after ridick kept what he killed?

[@mfundo6619]

He didn't have the same vision as the lord Marshall about finding the underverse which made the other Necros very restless. Vakko plotted tried to kill him on a deserted planet and take the throne. Riddick fell over a cliff so Vakko left him for dead but he actually survived

[@TheCorrodedMan]

He ended the Eternal Crusade and just turned the whole fleet towards the Threshold to get them out of our universe.

[@joseangelriverac7490]

We're do you got all that information I cannot find much online

[@doublep1980]

There's an official Riddick fan wiki, which lists the history of the Necromongers based on the novelization and it's much better than this video.

[@arambhikrut7258]

necroism has to be the stupidest yet coolest looking villain tribes in science fiction

where one can find the clip of riddick in the marshal armor?
