He wasn't losing but simply dodging until he has the sword. Pretty sure if the Lion could have grabbed a sizable rock he would have been able to hurl that thing to cave in the head of one and close in to absolutely murder the second.
In the audiobook it’s made pretty clear the marine is mocking him, like, the Lion just wiped his squad and he was like “what did you do to me?” Dudes like “what do you mean?” “I’m slower” “We did nothing, you just got old my Lord” and then cackles as he dies Paraphrased, but yeah, dude was having the last laugh at the absurdity that the Lion, having just ripped his squad apart, A) thinks he’s slow and B) thinks they made him slower And by slower, it’s literally by a fraction of a second, but the Lion just didn’t consider the most obvious answer that he just got old
He’s killed multiple chaos marines with just his bare hands and will later duel daemon Primarch Angron all by himself! Yet, despite all of that, the Lion thinks he’s not as strong as he used to be. Never mess with a Primarch.
Lion casually kills a bunch of chaos space marine "damn, i feel like i got a debuff on" Chaos Sorcerer "im sorry, went through my brothers like glowing hot knife through buttter and your saying THIS AINT YOUR FULL POWER ????"
He has to theres not a complete lion without the wolf. Could you imagine those 2 as old primarchs Russ wth you are a sorcerer now? Lionel yup i also have dad shield😅
If he comes out as Odin, then he has to have lost an eye(mirror to Magnus) and become a bit of a sorcerer. Imagine the absolute hell that Magnus would raise over Leman coming out of the warp as a wizard.
Pretty sure primarchs are nigh immortal. Johnson just needs to stretch his muscles more. How would you feel if you woken up from a nap and then proceed to run a marathon? Now imagine waking up from 10,000 years of napping then proceed to fight chaos forces, bare handed. Btw, 10K years of napping in space… not on a planet.
One thing I love is that because of his age he has had to change the way he fights becoming more defensive than offensive literally outlasting and then beating a Angrons brains in so hard he exploded into a ball of chaos energy whereas his younger self would’ve just gone balls to the walls all in to try and kill him I think he even remarks how he does notice he’s slower and that if he had been fighting Curze the same way at this speed he would’ve died ten times over Behold we now have the knight paladin that used to be the savage obliterator kill the Obliterator that was supposed to be the knight paladin……
"Malady." Meanwhile dude is fucking folding Chaos Marines like laundry while being probably the most dandy badass in the galaxy. He then goes on to fuck up and no diff a Daemon Prince's face with the Emperor's Shield. The Lion aint old. Dude is seasoned.
There is wisdom in the adage, "Beware the old man in a profession where men die young."
That doesn't mean much when he was asleep for 90% of it
@@dasbaerto be fair the Lion had been fighting since he was a child so he could had die young 😅
@@dasbaer it was one hell of a power nap
He's only a few hundred years old technically. Most chapters will have marines far older than him.
I mean..... Lion died young, he just was saved.
For the record: Lion wasn’t fighting chaos marines, not terminators but the freaking obliterators! And was only loosing because he was unarmed!
Tbh he wasnt even loosing, just struggling a bit.
Hope he didn't get infected
He wasn't losing but simply dodging until he has the sword. Pretty sure if the Lion could have grabbed a sizable rock he would have been able to hurl that thing to cave in the head of one and close in to absolutely murder the second.
For me, the funniest part is he called Lion 'my lord', like despite Chaos taint he still felt immense respect before him
I think the "my lord" thing is just him mocking the lion. I don't think there is any respect in that.
It's more like a mockery than a respect yk
@@lucas_leoheart idk about that primarchs literally have a power to make others bow down to them it is a reflex of sort
In the audiobook it’s made pretty clear the marine is mocking him, like, the Lion just wiped his squad and he was like “what did you do to me?”
Dudes like “what do you mean?”
“I’m slower”
“We did nothing, you just got old my Lord” and then cackles as he dies
Paraphrased, but yeah, dude was having the last laugh at the absurdity that the Lion, having just ripped his squad apart, A) thinks he’s slow and B) thinks they made him slower
And by slower, it’s literally by a fraction of a second, but the Lion just didn’t consider the most obvious answer that he just got old
Lion is those old guys who didnt believe their old, just slow while maintaning to look younger.
The lion with the sensibility of an old man is a frightening thought.
"You've reached unc status my lord"
For the record: The Lion stood silent for a moment before killing him after that.
He was silently assimilating he was old😅
Zabriel killed him. Lion just kept contemplating.
Even old. They give Lion the Garp treatment, and make him terrifying on the battlefield.
Nah. Bro just needs to stretch. He was asleep for 10k years, he needs the stretch.
"Lol you're just old!"
“What f### is that! Some kind of disease? Did Mortarion put you up to this?”
Imagine telling someone who blew out your back and just bent your friends over after multiple rounds he was old.
He’s killed multiple chaos marines with just his bare hands and will later duel daemon Primarch Angron all by himself! Yet, despite all of that, the Lion thinks he’s not as strong as he used to be. Never mess with a Primarch.
"I didn't brutally kill all of you as easily as I would like....what gives?"
Lion casually kills a bunch of chaos space marine "damn, i feel like i got a debuff on"
Chaos Sorcerer "im sorry, went through my brothers like glowing hot knife through buttter and your saying THIS AINT YOUR FULL POWER ????"
Chaos Bro really went from fearful and impressed to mocking and proud after finding out a freakin PRIMARCH is actually waning
That is why I’m convinced Leman will return as Old Man Odin style.
He has to theres not a complete lion without the wolf. Could you imagine those 2 as old primarchs
Russ wth you are a sorcerer now?
Lionel yup i also have dad shield😅
Or hear me out he comes out younger. Due to warp shenanigans I think that will be much more interesting
Or he comes out able to control a type of superior wolfen form. Transform in and out of it, like Bird dad: attorney at CAWWWW!
@@redsledgeblu5234that would be ironic considering he and all space wolf wanted to hide that
If he comes out as Odin, then he has to have lost an eye(mirror to Magnus) and become a bit of a sorcerer. Imagine the absolute hell that Magnus would raise over Leman coming out of the warp as a wizard.
DUUUUUDE! you left out the end where Zab domed him for laughing at the Primarch lol 😂
He’s a good son.
@@andrewbyrne2173 lol, a VERY good Son 😂
"So... I was asleep in the Rock That Makes You Old™️"
"Yeah, uh, a-you-OLD....ah-kuh-kuh-kuh-eww"
~Apothecary Rocksus
At last something a Primarch and I have in common, mornings hit a little bit stronger nowadays for me and for the Lion.
The Lion gave him the Bane treatment.
CM: "Stop brandishing me as a weapon!"
LEJ: "Heheh! No! This is too much fun!"
Arthritis is one heck of a malady
Pretty sure primarchs are nigh immortal. Johnson just needs to stretch his muscles more. How would you feel if you woken up from a nap and then proceed to run a marathon?

That was the biggest “pause” moment I’ve ever seen😂😂😂
The Frying Pan of Doom! IYKYK
Lion: "my back hurts... But I'm still able to carry the Imperium it!"
Punished Venom Lion
Now let's hope he also got wisdom with his new appearance.
Dude knew he was gonna die and had no chance of physically hurting the lion so he decided to go for emotional damage
One thing I love is that because of his age he has had to change the way he fights becoming more defensive than offensive literally outlasting and then beating a Angrons brains in so hard he exploded into a ball of chaos energy whereas his younger self would’ve just gone balls to the walls all in to try and kill him I think he even remarks how he does notice he’s slower and that if he had been fighting Curze the same way at this speed he would’ve died ten times over
Behold we now have the knight paladin that used to be the savage obliterator kill the Obliterator that was supposed to be the knight paladin……
"Lord" like they still have that much respect for the man
"Malady."
Meanwhile dude is fucking folding Chaos Marines like laundry while being probably the most dandy badass in the galaxy. He then goes on to fuck up and no diff a Daemon Prince's face with the Emperor's Shield. The Lion aint old. Dude is seasoned.
Feels like the lion has done very little in the current setting besides beating one or two chaos sorcerers lol
It's weird that the writers have done literally nothing with this.
He should just get a rejuv treatment
You forgot to mention that the lion promptly snapped his neck.
this weaker but wiser Lion is definitely deadlier than 30ks stupid superman Lion with trust issues dialed to the max!!
Hell yes. Loyalty is it’s own reward.
Bossing the algo🎉
4 the Algo!!!
Saying out loud yea shit talking the Lion is probably the worst one to shittalk.
Well at least this boomer still can bash Angron face in, with help.
Nah, never read the books, just wanna know what the Lion did to that old poor bastard
Wait!!?? He’s weaker?!
He was with vulkan and sanguinius in the strongest primarch spot, now he's just stronger than everyone left
@@Nerthos I know he was probably the best fighter because he could beat future sight shenanigans
@@Colonel-WhiteRaven126 He killed demon angron in two moves
Which book is this from??
youre late for dnd bozo
