[@durrangodsgrief6503]

counter: leman offered Magnus the opportunity to speak which Magnus in his pity era decided to refuse and damn his legion to being killed

[@Errtuabyss]

@@durrangodsgrief6503He had a direct order from the Emperor to bring Magnus to Terra on trial (which was changed by Horus to make him think it was to destroy Magnus Legion) and told Magnus so. So talking about.. what exactly? How he was suppose to surrender and let his Legion and World be destroyed? He choose to sulk and just let it happen. The greater theme in the books is how (most) of the Primarchs never had a chance to avoid their faith. The only thing relevant is how they go on about it. And somehow all the Traitors are the ones with the greater character flaws while all the Loyalists are noble and had never done anything wrong... Which would have worked great if they had used the unreliable narrator style of the old fluff, where everyone is the good one in their own eyes instead of every author having their clear favorits and being very obvious who is the good one and who deserved everything happening to them, even the stuff that happend before they did anything wrong.😅

[@demo0831]

​@@ErrtuabyssThe Author had a soft spot for Angron though. Angron litterally just spat facts while barely able to string sentences together

[@Errtuabyss]

​@@demo0831 1. What do you mean by "the author"? There are multiple books with Angron either present or even from his perspective. And just like with almost everyone else his character and abilities change every time. 2. You are missing the point of what I said. It's not about being correct, but about having a stereotype / template for loyalist and traitor Primarch. Angron or others can be cool and correct about something. That doesn't change the fact that he is staged to fail from the very beginning. Every Traitor has flaws that makes him vulnerable to being corrupted from the start while most Loyalists are either (almost) flawless or at least incorruptable by design. There was never any chance of neither vicotry nor redemption in how they are written. It's all basic backwards writing where you know what the outcome will be, you develop a bias because of it and miss out on potential to write an interesting, multi faceted character. Angron is defined by his (righteous) anger. The empathy aspect that was there (btw one of the few great additions to the fluff. At least in potential) is taken away before the story even starts. Anything that is writen about him will always be just about his rage and how it makes him a slave to him emotions, no matter what else. Meaning he is doomed to fail no matter what. Somehow they managed to develop Khârn well while most Chaos characters in general are written like a blunt trauma to the head..

I think the reason why they gained a understanding of the universe after seeing the shattered statue is: The statue shattered. It didn't brake, what you would expect a statue to do, but shattered. Meaning it instantly broke into such small pices that there had to be a reason why it did sustain as big of damage as it did. Looking at the shards they understood that evrything in the universe has a shatter point, wich if you can find it no matter how tough the target might be, will instatly crubble into shards and be destroyed.

[@grumpfrog8602]

Alright, haven't seen anyone mention it. The statue thing. In the book where the statue is described it is clearly a changer of ways, one of tzeentch's bird daemons. Though it isn't explicit, i interpreted magnus reading universal patterns in the debris of the multicolored and geometric shards of the statue to have been deliberately set up by tzeentch to lead magnus down the path to warp sorcery. Magnus is, at his core, curious. He MUST know. Which, as far as I'm concerned, is the emperor's fault. Make a being made entirely of thought energy, its going to want more thought energy. I genuinely believe magnus was always at risk of corruption due to the proximity of his very being to the warp, basically every other corrupted primarch in my opinion was made much more susceptible to the lure of chaos by the environment they found themselves in. I don't necessarily think magnus Should be blamed for the fact that the emperor didn't give his psychic battery man some brain McAfee in the form of natural skepticism. Caution is something primarchs are capable of, but them emperor encouraged magnus' arrogance. Not that there aren't things magnus did wrong, but the statue thing was pretty clearly tzeentch giving Magnus a taste of the power delving into psychic power is capable of.

Heres the problem. Magnus is less arrogant and far more Curiousity killed the cat type and Tzeench brought them back type beat Which he is in alot of ways that i think people choose to chalk up to arrogance. Not that he isnt arrogant which I personally find a lame way to characterize him. I think Magnus should have just been way to curious and way to willing too share secrets. I still love Magnus, I just want Loyalist Magnus because I like Wizards. ALSO MAGNUS SHOULD HAVE BEAT THE FURRY.

Magnus probably inherited the emperors “pride” of knowledge wanting to know everything about the warp and no one can tell him better. The emperor at any moment could’ve forced Magnus to sit down and explain all of the intricacies and dangers of the warp with him, and that he planed for him to be the center of the webway project he was working on. Instead he kept him in the dark and simply used the dad card to try and force him to shut up and know his place.

Your honor, it is not Magnus's fault that his dad put an expensive vase next to the psychic phone. How was Magnus to know that if he rang his dad using the phone number a dude he met gave him, it would knock over the vase

[@mikaelantonkurki]

Emperor told Magnus in A Thousand Sons that he was returning to Terra to master the webway (This is true, it's in the "Thousand sons" book), that it was in a delicate phase, and that Magnus needs to stop with the sorcery. He also put giant 'DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS' wards around the webway, which should've been all the hint someone supposedly as smart as Magnus needed to back off. Magnus, the Emperor's most important sons ignored basic instructions and caused total catastrophe for the Human race. Magnus' plan was almost certainly not the best way to warn him, and Ahriman even suspected that Magnus' true goal was to impress upon the Emperor how useful unrestrained psykers could be in the hope that he might reverse his decision at Nikea, especially considering that the ritual needed to make this astral projection work required HUMAN SACRIFICE. Even Magnus' own advisors had doubts about the plan.

[@AxolotlInMC]

[@silent_stalker3687]

1:34:20 Since he was kinda using the warp and that is influence greatly by will power and EMOTION… well, Magnus just wrecked something his dad kept secret and koolaid man his way through it to his dad. On top of that Big E gave Magnus a vision of his future and what it meant for humanity and for Magnus since his creation. Needless to say that effected both his will and emotional state while using the Warp.

[@gerald216]

The thing about both the dispersion of the primarchs and magnus breaking in to the webway is both are implied to be caused by a primarch. Like chaos was being actively blocked but the primarchs were able to break in because they were not expected to. But also the writers can do basically whatever they want so there's that.

[@freshjnew]

I think maybe the 3rd strongest human psyker ever empowered by tzeentch would be more than enough. Horus at the climax of the heresy when facing the emperor would probably have been able to do the same and break through all the warding around the sol system and Terra. When chaos agrees on something things get made to happen. The four chaos gods are an immense well of power alone and together they are nigh unstoppable the only hope for the galaxy has and will forever be that they are just as likely to spite each other as any human or zenos.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

Tzeentch was probably strong enough to break into the webway as it was, just that empowering a primarch to do it for him and thus get himself excommunicated would be more advantageous over time.

[@MarkoDash]

With the way Magnus exited the warp after breaking the webway i don't think he left Terra voluntarily, IIRC he locked eyes the the Emperor and Emps yeeted him back to Prospero.

[@Telamont]

I think you're close on this, I believe in the book he did try to warn the emp about Horus but emp was so pissed he thought he was the actual traitor and lying about Horus (being his fav son and all) then forced him out of the palace.

[@bozeia]

@vancodling4223 I kind of see most of the characters through the lens of being a writer. Magnus is flawed for sure, but he is a _fantastic_ character. He's a walking inciting incident and that's what makes him great. I just hate the immediate snide jokes and pissing matches that always seem to come up the second people start talking about him. Some of it is memes, but some of it is negativity disguised as memes. I feel like it's everywhere I go when I even vaguely interact with WH40k content. Like, I honestly wasn't thinking about Magnus, or even looking for WH40k videos, at the time when I got smacked with _that thumbnail._ I just wish it didn't feel like I run into it constantly. It makes me feel uncomfortable, and I feel alone in my appreciation for his character beyond how "justified" he was or how "acceptable" it is to like him.
