As a TV series on its own, its lacking, but based on a game? Maybe it's not.

Warning: Spoilers
A super short animated sci fi TV series (only about a total of a half hour, split into 3 episodes) has its moral/basis incorrect due to missing an important philosophical component.

They incorrectly state: "The tragedy of existence is that the only path to understanding is to suffer." Now, if they are including figurative suffering and not limiting to physical, then they are correct.

See, the full truth is that the only path to understanding is humility.

But to become humble, sadly, we created beings must almost always emotionally suffer due to being so proud/arrogant, and therefore resistant.

FYI: confidence is not pride/arrogance, and includes humility

My review {spoiler alert regarding their moral of their story): Their 3rd/last episode shares a valid point.

Essentially that good intentions don't equate to proper methods and/or proper results, due to (well, here they don't say, but it's implied it's due to creatures of any species not being 100% pure in motives 100% of the time).

This point is shared by the being that the group is trying to capture alive.

I will add that a later character added at the very end seems to be orchestrating all of this with macro management. And that this end of series character is an illuminati individual, with their infamous symbol. I didn't really hear his/its philosophy though. Would have to relisten to catch that. Was focused too much on the action wrapping up.

Oh, my suspicion initially was correct.

What was my suspicion?

That this TV series was made to indirectly advertise a sci fi role playing game.

I found out right after watching the 2nd episode, by searching online.

Yes, this series is about a group of some of the characters in a role playing game called Warhammer, and appears to have existed for decades.

Oh, I give this TV series a 70% rating, if it was as a standalone.

I don't know about the game its based on, so I can't rate according to that.

Well-crafted but dumber than Asylum

This is a graphically well-crafted show with somewhat interesting characters. What is totally lacking is plot of any kind... even within the WH40K universe. The script is droll, the plot pointless, and a rational ending non-existent.

Warhammer 40K started out as a fun and even humorous game, but as the years have passed it has become darker and more horrid in concept. While that is likely more "realistic" within the concept of the WH40k universe, it makes for really horrid stories and videos. There are no heroes; even the humans are fanatical psychopaths.

I'm sure a lot of fans will rate this video highly just because it's WH40K... but that fact doesn't make it good video. This was basically nonsense, an exercise in video graphics without plot, purpose or conclusion.
