Veteran sergeant was afraid that Titus will became traitor because he as a child had no fear, and as he said in the beginning: "Fear must be forged in to obedience".
HEY! Yeah I eventually caught that all, the problem is I was trying to look for deeper meanings as opposed to what was right in front of my face haha Cheers for the clarification! -B
It's worth noting that the veteran sergeant has the same number of studs but his are *gold* not silver, representing 400 years of service. Even if his protege titus now outranks him, he is officially 'too old for this shit' - you're quite right to call out the wordless sass when he hands Titus back the stasis coffer chain. And yes, it gives you a wierd contradiction where the primaris are millenia older BUT the firstborn are vastly more combat experienced.
In the older lore axes were the weapon of Ultramarines, Honor Guard wielded the Axes of Ultramar. I kind of hoped the Honor Guard in the Space Marine 2 had them but they just had generic power swords.
To be fair, those are Victrix Honor Guards. They have always been depicted with power swords. It helps that the swords are a gladius style, which is the other iconic weapon of the Ultramarines since it fits right in with their Roman theme.
I dont feel confident in a live action adaptation, I think it would be better off as an animation. Unless they prove me wrong, I think animation can bring out all the stops.
I agree with you. Don’t think at this point they would be able to truly capture the world with having to spend minimum a million dollars per scene on just the sets and extras. -B
"Captian Idaeus’s grizzled face was lined with experience and his shaven skull ran with moisture and blood. Four gold studs glittered on his forehead, each one representing a half-century of service" Chronicles of Uriel Ventris, book 1 Nightbringer. Ultramarine omnibus Gold is 50 years.
Yeah this is where we get a bit confused from different writers and different chapters, because with the Dark Angels it’s 100 years for gold and 50 for silver (Ravenwing book), and then the Soul Drinkers books its for 10 years service and you get an Ebony stud if you’re a Chaplain for 10 years (The Bleeding Chalice). It might just be different with every chapter, and for Ultramarines it means 50 years. -B
As far as I can see, Grey Knights have something similar in the form of shield crests (the little shield that sit at their armpits) and that denominates which Brotherhood they are a apart of. Other than that I’m told Paladins have their helmets white and thats about it. Would like to see a bit more visual diversity with that so we the fans can know by sight. Maybe with a new codex! Hope that was somewhat helpful -B
@@Pub4Heretics damn I was hoping to make my Grey Knight Bulwalk in Space Marines 2 have lore accurate status but you can't do something like that.😭😭😭 Thanks man The Emperor Protects
I’m new to the warhammer IP. I have only played space marine 2 and saw this secret level video. I’d love you guys to guide me a bit through it all 😂 where to start, lore analysis and commentary I’m down for anything. Great video.. enjoyed the knowledge. Please more 🎉
If you check the channel we have videos explaining the lore of Warhammer 40k and try and make it easy to digest but we also have fun ripping on each other 😁 - J
Why is Titus so feared that he might turn? I don’t know much about warhammer but the game is so sick. Space Marine 2, and it seemed that everyone think Titus is going to turn. Same with this episode…
I don’t think he’s worried about it but everyone around him is. After the events of Space Marine 1 everyone was thinking he turned Chaos Traitor because of his survival near a chaos weapon that he shouldn’t have survived. So everyone has those fears and concerns about him. And as it appears even the guy who chose him to be a marine was even concerned about it. -B
Mainly because Titus SHOULD have turned but he didn't and being a badass even by space marine standards it would be a disaster if the dude who accomplished the things he did became a traitor.
Potentially, but you see the psychic shield come up immediately and then time becomes slowed outside the bubble allowing the marines to keep firing. But then when that herald kills the psyker the barrier goes down and then time stops for everyone. I think the statue was causing the disruptions and the marines were concentrated on destroying it while the psyker protected them. But I could honestly see both happening. -B
Shame Amazon took an issue with a review on a video and you had to adjust things to suit but you did a good job considering. I would love to also see some animations of this calibre for each chapters homeworlds, like how they become astartes for each one and the trials etc
We have a lore death watch video on the channel talking about lore but we are definitely going to react to more Warhammer videos thanks for the support -J
Nhaa as a long time 40k fan the Secret Level thing is very disappointing. And if you know anyone in the industry they will tell you as well; this is slop.
@@Pub4Heretics If I could sit down with you and go shot by shot and show something like Astartes in comparison where Astartes succeeds and Secret Level fails. But camera work, characters, sound design, story, almost everything in Secret Level is not very good when taking into consideration that it is a multi $million project. And it's not even grim dark. I would maybe describe it as: optimistic angsty teen action sci-fi. I asked my brother who is have worked in the industry for about 25 years to watch Secret Level, I wanted his opinion on it. The only positive thing he had to say is that Secret Level was good on a technical level but overall he thought it was low quality work. The first 30 seconds of Astartes gives the viewers more information about space marines than pretty much any 40k film I have seen. Syama Pedersen understand the cinematic language, whomever made Secret Level does not or at least does not show it. There is a good 1 to 1 example between the two. In both Astartes and Secret Level there is a closeup shot of a space marine foot stepping into their launch vehicle: In Astartes you see the space marines have to crouch a little to get inside the vehicle and then you get a close of shot of the foot stepping inside and the whole vehicle shakes. You get a real sense of their size, mass and weight. Just this quick shot tells the audience a lot about these characters without a single word spoken, and it is like that throughout Astartes Secret Level on the other hand; you see the marine stepping onto the drop pod and then the camera shakes like someone is actually standing there with a camera. You get nothing out of the shot, you learn nothing about these characters. Perfection is a lot of little things done correctly. I am very very critical of Secret Level because I am a 40k fan. And I want good things for 40k, I don't want to be a fanboy and just praise any slop that they throw our way. When Dawn of War 3 was revealed I immediately said this looks like shit, and everyone told me how wrong I was. And now every 40k influencer shill says Dawn of War 3 is shit as well.
Hey mate! What could I have done better, or what did I interpret wrong? If you’re talking about the one who chose Titus and I misunderstood that, I did eventually figure that out I was just trying to look too deep XD haha -B

I thought Titus leaving their only defense against the warp magic behind to take out that tank seemed to make him uneasy aswell.

Great lore dump in the beginning. Quite accurate. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for the support - J
"Iron within.." is flawless.
It's chapter specific lore accurate. In my mind, comisar proof.
The movement of the Dark Eldar is shit
Yeh even as the resident Imperial Fist simp, I will admit it is pretty good.
And definitely worth reacting to!

Is the animator that one youtuber that got hired by them
@@nicknevco215 syama pedersen, he also made the animation 'Astartes'
The blue beam was the beacon, which was the secondary mission

Riiiight! I didn’t know that, cheers for that.
Hopefully it will be a thing in SP2 updates later down the road.

great work.

I will find out for you!

You explained the mission objectives but glossed over the suicide mission aspect, as so many other reactors. Titus was not expected to survive.
No we noticed the mission mortality and mentioned it.
I just had to cut it due to worries about copyright infringement.

Wasn't the Astropath there to send coordinates back to ship for orbital strike?
Potentially, but you see the psychic shield come up immediately and then time becomes slowed outside the bubble allowing the marines to keep firing. But then when that herald kills the psyker the barrier goes down and then time stops for everyone.
