How so? The original lore is a mess and several details have changed over years while novelists have contradicted each other multiple times.
The sincere effort I think is what's most important. Even if the show contradicts some of the existing lore one can still make a good faith argument as to why something is added or left out due to other reasons in-universe and out
Yeah sure. If they wrote "Henry Cavill's rule ensures a lore-faithful adaptation" - fine, that would be great. "100% Lore Accurate" is an impossible standard that just ensures many an immature nerd will load their keyboard with religious intent.
Maybe the show will be just as convoluted and contradictory so it's 100% accurate. 🤷♂️
I would be okay with that. Really lets the viewer get a sense of the effects of Chaos. /s
Just imagining a Space Marine Chaplain slamming a Crozius onto a keyboard screaming about heretics lol
Never underestimate a writers ability to fuck shit up. One easy example is the Halo tv show.
Are you saying that Master Cheeks wouldn't have had sex with a POW?
The writers were forced into using Halo for that show. They wanted to do their own thing and the producers made them use the license.
I just hope they get the Imperial Truth vs Imperial Creed part right.
