It was great how he described the feeling of getting tired and struggling. He literally thought he got cursed by the Chaos cultist. He could not even cut an Obliterator until he found a power sword.

I do know Majorkill once theorized that while the primarchs are immortal and don’t “age” like we do, he theorized that their body changes depending on their sort of “mentality” due to their psyker abilities. For instance, Guilliman hadn’t aged a day when he woke up from stasis, however after serving the Imperium for several years he looks much visibly older and growing grey hairs from stress. He theorized that while the Lion is temporarily weakened, he’ll eventually regain his old strength.
I think it’s stress from the leadership position they’re in. Look at previous US president’s before starting and after leaving the presidency pictures. The job is only 4 to 8 years but they all look like they had the life sucked out of them.
I assure you that is not a theory Majorkill came up with. That “theory” has existed as cannon lore for AT LEAST 11 years now… in the unremembered empire, Euton describes Sanguinius as constantly shifting and changing depending on his and the primearch’s mood. He remarks that many of the primearchs have this trait… but none more then Sanguinius. Sanguinius is also remarked to have constantly changing eye color depending on his mood. His feathers have also been remarked to not be just white, but all the hues of color… his armor also changes color and his hair turns darker when he is in mourning.

Yeah, but even if the Chaos Marine was an O.G. who'd been at the Siege of Terra, it's been pretty well established that the Warp changes the flow of time pretty significantly. Big Bobby Blue was essentially flash-frozen in stasis, and the Traitors have been preserved to some greater or lesser degree by Warp weirdness. The Lion has been in realspace the entire time, just waiting for the alarm clock.
Just read The End and the Death III and imagine Sanguinius going turbo anime on Horus but replace him with Lion. That would be how I imagine young Lion
No. Sanguinius did all that anime stuff after fighting Kabandha, Angron, a couple Titans on the Eternity Gate, and with half his guts ripped out and no sleep in less than 3 days.
That moment was so much fun. Even a Primarch does not live for millenia without it leaving marks. It makes me curious what effects time has on the other Primarchs.
Say what you will, bro got terrified, and still found in him the will to fucking taunt and mock the one in front of him. I hope I have these guts when my time comes.
The return of the Lion was well written and better than how they handle gulliman. The Lion literally had to start from scratch and paved his way to reclaim the stars.
I mean Gulliman was not that bad, just shocking... since it's out of the blue. The imperium is losing, Cadia fell (not the guards, they still stand), the Imperium got divided in half... And all of a sudden, with the help of the Eldar. Gulliman is back, bringing the inevitable downfall of the imperium to uncertainty (and a chance for the Imperium)
@N0T-A-B0T he already has a crusade fleet and a legion. In the book Lazarus it implies that he is calling all Dark angels back to the Rock Successors chapters as well.
@@grayfullbuster1242 thx for the lore update. Lion: Son of the Forest, is the most up to date (chronology) I know of El Johnson. Is Lazarus the newest one?
@N0T-A-B0T Yeah it is. Lazarus wasn't there in the battle against Vashtor. He was given a different mission at that time. But it doesn't give hint of the Lion it just end when he receives the messaged that the Lion is calling them home
"Haha, you are simply so old." "may be old, yet with many experience." "What would that be?" (lionel request a belt selection) "PICK." "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT I'LL TALK, I'LL TALK!!
Being a Primarch, and therefore an apex being: When he says slower and weaker, does he means slower and weaker like a space marine gene son would? Or slower and weaker like a perfect human Custodes would? Cos one is waaaay more impactful than the other.
I'm also almost positive that he's only slow because he is out of shape, and he just needs to do a bit of purging to get back into that prime physicality. Remember how he grew up on a world covered in monsters? Now he'll have plenty of practice.
He later slaughters a bunch of Chaos Terminators in seconds. He was just getting back into the swing of things. Guy ran a gauntlet against the Primarchs near the end of the book.
More like a completely immortal being that requires ARMIES to even tire them out. He felt that he's a few fractions of a second slower and his mind doesn't feel entirely clear as it used to be. So it'd be like waking up one day and realizing that you're slower by half a second with a blade. A blade that is as much a part of you as your arm. Except you were in a coma for a year. Maybe 5. Muscles atrophy in comas due to a lack of use. Also, after he got the Sword, he has been training almost non-stop with his former legionaries. So he's just shaking off the dust here. You should read when he faces the Angry boy. It's a sight to behold.
@@timhorsburgh2193 well considering that they didn’t need endless translators when they showed up I’m pretty sure they speak the same language. And it’s just funnier to think of that along with the son named Wolf Wolf big E also has a son named lion forest
To be fair, this encounter happened relatively early on in the book. Lion started out with amnesia and not even knowing who he was. I think after a 10k year nap, we can forgive him for being a little stiff. By the end of the book, he had shaken the rust off and was back to wrecking face as usual. Still, this was a great scene (there was a fair bit of humor in that book but it was well-placed and landed well. I hope we get another soon; this more seasoned Lion is proving to be a pretty cool character).
Well at least he is not at a level of old like Dante who is currently feeling the effects of aging more such as no longer being able to fight just as long in his younger years and has taken sleep when he could when he could have been awake for far longer. Still I hope the Lion's aging makes him understand regular humans more.
I'm pretty sure that Primarchs aren't supposed to age at all, his "aging" is simply a reflection of how he feels. All the Primarchs have "things" they're capable of that they don't realize (warp related "things"), but to my knowledge, only Corvus (basically) has realized his potential and the Lion is next in line in regard to realizing what he can do--like his discovery of forest walk.
I'm just facepalming at the fact that pretty much any Imperial noble could help him out. There are a LOT of ways to reverse aging in the Imperium if you have the money.
It's kinda weird that he aged to begin with. It is said that Astartes aren't supposed to age in some sources, but in other instances, they clearly do (Sigismund, for example).
It's a thing to consider, but also worth mentioning is that Primarchs aren't just Super Space Marines (those are the Primaris). They're weird, and the least removed from the Emperor's weirdness. Reversing aging of a Primarch is probably not a trivial thing.
@@justwannabehappy6735Astartes do age slowly, really slowly... like atleast 2-3k years before you see them look like in their 50's. (but majority of them rarely get to atleast 1k, excluding the ones on dreadnought) But I guess the reason he aged was him not being in a stasis chamber, unlike Gulliman? and he was gone for what 11k years.
@@shadeofsound23I agree, most medicines and everything are just pointless on a primarch, as their biology is naturally better than most treatment. At the same time, it probably resists a lot of it, considering most medicines are a type of poison, and primarchs are notoriously hard to poison. It’d probably resist most of the changes, if they could even break his skin with the equipment.
I love the fact that the chaos space marine finds it funny that the lion is asking “Did you give me some sort of nerf spell” and proceeds to laugh and told him off as old HAHAHAHAHAHA
For a version of humanity which isnt supposed to age at all, the physical degradation which seems normal to us would indeed come across as a horrific affliction.
Yeah, the lore is weird. In some parts, Astartes aren't supposed to age, not die of old age, but in others, they clearly are suffering from the effects of ageing (Sigismunda en Dante, for example)
Could be mileage as well as time. An Astartes who got to retire after saying a century to a hypothetical peaceful galaxy probably ages the next few centuries very differently than Dante and Sigismund, who have been clogging their respective meat grinders by sheer forces of will and skill all this time.
@@justwannabehappy6735 My "theory" would be that while Marines and the like won't "age", their body can still wear out through use and accumulated damage...
@@thegamesresearcher but that's literally what ageing is. The accumulation of damages to to an error of replication of the RNA. Ageing is literally taking cellular damage due to poor and faulty maintenance.
I think the lion got old because of the nature of his sleep. The watchers in the dark put him in a coma for 10,000 years seemingly on purpose and that whole time he sat there doing absolutely nothing to keep his body in his prime, yes guilliman did too but he was in a statis field that halts the effects of time, and it’s also true that when perturabo fought the h’rud he was aged thousands of years, however he was in the middle of intense combat and the h’ruds abilities are designed more to maime and kill rather than solely age. However I have actually read the book that details the lions return yet so this is all speculation.
Bold words, for a Fallen in "He Speaks for the Trees" distance.. "He is Lion L'Johnson.. He speaks for the Trees.. From here unto Caliban.. He claimeth thy Knees.."

I mean, the quote fails to mention that the Lion does this armed with a human sized hunting knife that is basically like a tiny pocket knife in his hands. So yeah, as a chaos marine I would totally be "wtf dude, you killed us all unarmed without breaking a sweat or us landing a blow on you, and you fucking say you feel impeded?!?!"
Here's a dark question If a Group of human guardsman We're having their way with a tau female or a female eldar female How do you think a space marine would react And this could apply to Is many different chapters of space marines

Lion's Bolter: *BOOM*
Lion El'Johnson really woke up 10,000 years later and his first thoughts were "WHY AM I LAGGING?!"
Say what you will, bro got terrified, and still found in him the will to fucking taunt and mock the one in front of him. I hope I have these guts when my time comes.
man that Chaos boy went Joker in the end
The return of the Lion was well written and better than how they handle gulliman.
The Lion literally had to start from scratch and paved his way to reclaim the stars.
I mean Gulliman was not that bad, just shocking... since it's out of the blue.
The imperium is losing, Cadia fell (not the guards, they still stand), the Imperium got divided in half...
And all of a sudden, with the help of the Eldar. Gulliman is back, bringing the inevitable downfall of the imperium to uncertainty (and a chance for the Imperium)
Initially. I expect as soon as he meets back up with Guilliman he will be handed an armada and a bunch of primaris
@N0T-A-B0T he already has a crusade fleet and a legion.
In the book Lazarus it implies that he is calling all Dark angels back to the Rock Successors chapters as well.
@@grayfullbuster1242 thx for the lore update. Lion: Son of the Forest, is the most up to date (chronology) I know of El Johnson. Is Lazarus the newest one?
@N0T-A-B0T Yeah it is.
Lazarus wasn't there in the battle against Vashtor. He was given a different mission at that time.
But it doesn't give hint of the Lion it just end when he receives the messaged that the Lion is calling them home
"Haha, you are simply so old."
"may be old, yet with many experience."
"What would that be?"
(lionel request a belt selection) "PICK."
"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT I'LL TALK, I'LL TALK!!
Turns into the joker in his last no moments, heck I’ll laugh anyway wahahahaha!!!
same gotten Mark Hammel flashbacks
Dark Angels: anyone gonna tell dad he’s old?
Traitor Marine: i’m dead anyway so lemme do it
Lionel johnson, sounds like an old mans name
Dude freaking roasted the lion in his dying moments. That is one hellava flex!
Being a Primarch, and therefore an apex being:
When he says slower and weaker, does he means slower and weaker like a space marine gene son would?
Or slower and weaker like a perfect human Custodes would?
Cos one is waaaay more impactful than the other.
Probably the second case is the most accurate to his condition but i think even now he is a lot over the Custodes level in everything and anything
I'm also almost positive that he's only slow because he is out of shape, and he just needs to do a bit of purging to get back into that prime physicality.
Remember how he grew up on a world covered in monsters? Now he'll have plenty of practice.
He later slaughters a bunch of Chaos Terminators in seconds. He was just getting back into the swing of things. Guy ran a gauntlet against the Primarchs near the end of the book.
More like a completely immortal being that requires ARMIES to even tire them out. He felt that he's a few fractions of a second slower and his mind doesn't feel entirely clear as it used to be. So it'd be like waking up one day and realizing that you're slower by half a second with a blade. A blade that is as much a part of you as your arm. Except you were in a coma for a year. Maybe 5. Muscles atrophy in comas due to a lack of use. Also, after he got the Sword, he has been training almost non-stop with his former legionaries. So he's just shaking off the dust here. You should read when he faces the Angry boy. It's a sight to behold.
Dude got the last laugh. On the Lion, no less.
That's why you shouldn't lay on a slab of rock for 10k years.
It’s interesting how the CSM still refers to him as “my lord.” Guy at least still knows his manners.
I like to believe chaos marines, especially ancient ones hold some kind of respect (special hatred) for the Primarchs
"You simply got old"
"You don't"
*BANG*
Every time I see a lion video I am reminded that in 40K the word for forest is “Johnson”
🤓 Actually i the word for forest is John😅
Only on Caliban.
@@timhorsburgh2193 well considering that they didn’t need endless translators when they showed up I’m pretty sure they speak the same language. And it’s just funnier to think of that along with the son named Wolf Wolf big E also has a son named lion forest
After your nephew mocks you for being old :
At least he went out with a laugh (and a bang) 😂😂😂😂
"What sorcery is this?"
"Your just old dude."
Hilarious
To be fair, this encounter happened relatively early on in the book. Lion started out with amnesia and not even knowing who he was. I think after a 10k year nap, we can forgive him for being a little stiff. By the end of the book, he had shaken the rust off and was back to wrecking face as usual. Still, this was a great scene (there was a fair bit of humor in that book but it was well-placed and landed well. I hope we get another soon; this more seasoned Lion is proving to be a pretty cool character).
Based and correct chaos marine
The bolt pistol shot is perfect.
Well at least he is not at a level of old like Dante who is currently feeling the effects of aging more such as no longer being able to fight just as long in his younger years and has taken sleep when he could when he could have been awake for far longer.
Still I hope the Lion's aging makes him understand regular humans more.
I'm pretty sure that Primarchs aren't supposed to age at all, his "aging" is simply a reflection of how he feels. All the Primarchs have "things" they're capable of that they don't realize (warp related "things"), but to my knowledge, only Corvus (basically) has realized his potential and the Lion is next in line in regard to realizing what he can do--like his discovery of forest walk.
lion: Why are you still young!!!
Guiliman: Stasis by Maybelline Cosmetics
I'm just facepalming at the fact that pretty much any Imperial noble could help him out. There are a LOT of ways to reverse aging in the Imperium if you have the money.
It's kinda weird that he aged to begin with. It is said that Astartes aren't supposed to age in some sources, but in other instances, they clearly do (Sigismund, for example).
@@justwannabehappy6735 Ya it's just... such a fixable problem for one in his position.
It's a thing to consider, but also worth mentioning is that Primarchs aren't just Super Space Marines (those are the Primaris).
They're weird, and the least removed from the Emperor's weirdness.
Reversing aging of a Primarch is probably not a trivial thing.
@@justwannabehappy6735Astartes do age slowly, really slowly... like atleast 2-3k years before you see them look like in their 50's. (but majority of them rarely get to atleast 1k, excluding the ones on dreadnought)
But I guess the reason he aged was him not being in a stasis chamber, unlike Gulliman? and he was gone for what 11k years.
@@shadeofsound23I agree, most medicines and everything are just pointless on a primarch, as their biology is naturally better than most treatment.
At the same time, it probably resists a lot of it, considering most medicines are a type of poison, and primarchs are notoriously hard to poison.
It’d probably resist most of the changes, if they could even break his skin with the equipment.
when you woke up for a 10k year power nap and your joints are creaky
I love the fact that the chaos space marine finds it funny that the lion is asking “Did you give me some sort of nerf spell” and proceeds to laugh and told him off as old HAHAHAHAHAHA
I would be a little confused too if I was an imortal demi god of war but got the short stick when robot girlyman got the stasis field and anime waifu
Your voice impression of the chaos space marine was so good
And the gunshot at the end 😂
"Youre not wrong... doesnt make it anyless insulting"
- Lion L Johnson (probably)
The voice acting in this video is excellent. Fantastic work!
For a version of humanity which isnt supposed to age at all, the physical degradation which seems normal to us would indeed come across as a horrific affliction.
Yeah, the lore is weird. In some parts, Astartes aren't supposed to age, not die of old age, but in others, they clearly are suffering from the effects of ageing (Sigismunda en Dante, for example)
Could be mileage as well as time. An Astartes who got to retire after saying a century to a hypothetical peaceful galaxy probably ages the next few centuries very differently than Dante and Sigismund, who have been clogging their respective meat grinders by sheer forces of will and skill all this time.
@@justwannabehappy6735
Astartes die long before they feel the effects of aging.
@@justwannabehappy6735 My "theory" would be that while Marines and the like won't "age", their body can still wear out through use and accumulated damage...
@@thegamesresearcher but that's literally what ageing is. The accumulation of damages to to an error of replication of the RNA. Ageing is literally taking cellular damage due to poor and faulty maintenance.
Props for the chaos marine still respecting Lion O and calling him Lord, he shows respect even to his enemy.
I remember there was a part where he says that, as he is now, Konrad would've killed him.
He was sleeping in The Rock that makes you old.
The crazy part is he kinda just thinks he’s really gotten older and can likely deage himself (looking at you CORAX)
Death guard: Ur old man...
Lion'El: Shut up
Lion was in the Rock that makes you Old.
"broke my back as though I were a child"
wtf does that traitor get up to in his spare time?!
I think the lion got old because of the nature of his sleep. The watchers in the dark put him in a coma for 10,000 years seemingly on purpose and that whole time he sat there doing absolutely nothing to keep his body in his prime, yes guilliman did too but he was in a statis field that halts the effects of time, and it’s also true that when perturabo fought the h’rud he was aged thousands of years, however he was in the middle of intense combat and the h’ruds abilities are designed more to maime and kill rather than solely age. However I have actually read the book that details the lions return yet so this is all speculation.
Haven’t actually read the book*
Amazing line, adeptly delivered!
Bro really said DAM YOUR OLD
Bold words, for a Fallen in "He Speaks for the Trees" distance..
"He is Lion L'Johnson.. He speaks for the Trees.. From here unto Caliban.. He claimeth thy Knees.."
Ironically one of the best ways to nurf an overpowered character especially taking the advantage of the setting being in the future.
Them getting old
Guilliman has to wear his helmet 24/7 so Lion doesn't get reminded of how he's like hardly aged at all.
Has he tried yoga?
Gotta hand it to the chaos marine, taunting at death's door requires absolute madness, absolute bravery or a bit of both.
Son of the Forrest is great
Bro knew he was toast and used his last moments to chirp the lion 😂 what a g
😂what impedes him?
Shouldn't had slept in the Rock that makes you old.
You know watching warhammer Got me thinking on what a star wars version of a space marine look like and The father of this Space Marine I think Anakin would be a good choice for there being there gen father because his DNA is op and It's something darth sideous would love to Create
And it would just be interesting to see And just to see anakin's reaction
I mean, the quote fails to mention that the Lion does this armed with a human sized hunting knife that is basically like a tiny pocket knife in his hands.
So yeah, as a chaos marine I would totally be "wtf dude, you killed us all unarmed without breaking a sweat or us landing a blow on you, and you fucking say you feel impeded?!?!"
he slept on the rock that makes you old
Here's a dark question If a Group of human guardsman We're having their way with a tau female or a female eldar female How do you think a space marine would react
And this could apply to Is many different chapters of space marines
Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down!
@@judeblack4360 I know right!!, I'm trying to eat my breakfast here
Imma be honest with you, you did it didn't you. Its okay man its okay, as long as they dont know about it you can do it as long as you want, just wear protection and dont tell the Commissaries anything alright?
Wtf
Hum good question 🤔
But seriously I don't know about any Chapter that would let them live
