John Grammaticus busts down the door on the vengeful spirit to see Horus and a bunch of demons have strung up Sanguinius’s corpse John: “Wow talk about a hang over! I bet he’s gonna feel that in the morning!”

As much as I hate the Cabal, to be fair Humanity are the main ones feeding the gods by that point in time. The Cabal is stupid but, they weren't wrong that Humanity was the main power source for Chaos at that time.
The good thing about the eldar birthing slaanesh is that this action also got rid of the eldar. The ones that remain are the ones that don't vibe with chaos endorsement, and the drukhari. But those seem like one of those problems that will ecentually solve itself, in the grand scheme of the galaxy.

My favourite part about End and the Death Vol III is John’s fate Dude has to spend all of forever going through the locations of the heresy to make sure the future happens, which we know he does because the future present and past all occur. Meaning John did/is doing/and will do that forever.

I mean considering the crazy bs Eunica is shown to do honestly it makes sense why the Big E is obsessed with it, hell I'd be obsessed with it given half the crazy stuff its done
If only John Grammaticus died at the end of the Legion book, it would fit his story so damn good and we wouldn't have to suffer the stuff he does afterwards as well.
John Grammaticus was meant to be James Bond. In Legion? You can't read him as anything other than the classic James Bond. .. the other books are a crappy Tumblr/Twitter OC version. I think Dan was forced to bring him back, and resented it, so he tried writing a character to make the editors mad enough to kill off. Pretty sure they didn't notice.
Seeing as Abnett has been producing "worse than tumblrinas AI boyfriend" level writing for a while, i think its more that some prior works were lightning in a bottle. After all, no good writer would ever retcon a story of how no matter who you are, the lowliest soldier to the closest a physical god could be, you are still human and its the humanity which matters/will be both your main strength and downfall to a magic trick illusion show with a bad liquid crystal wafer based side reference to TTS (that wasn't even on jetbikes nor would send one to ultramar).
I gotta say going into this warhammer 40k lore video the last thing I expected to discover was that Martin Luther King was assassinated by time traveling aliens.
My first video of Chrono’s was about TEATD Vol. II and his rant about John Grammaticus in there reminded me of Kitten from TTS ranting about the Tau (which I loved). Glad he could finally get it all out lol

JAAAAAHNN FREAKIN GRAMMMMATTTICUS!
John Grammaticus and the Cabal are the stupidest and most unnecessary things ever introduced into Warhammer 40k.
John freaking Grammaticus
Salamanders.... get the flamers.
*THE HEAVY FLAMERS.*
SIR YES, SIR
Heavy framers aren't even enough, get the multi melta

Summon the Exterminatus!
Honestly, just blow up the sun just to be safe.
I can't wait for the part 2 of this video that solely is about what he does in Vol 3
Have they made it so that he's different now than Marty Stu?
Holy shit, it's John Warhammer! I mean John Grammaticus!
I never read the books, but from the example given to me, it seems to be that John is the textbook example of just because someone’s old or older than you mean they’re much more mature or wise.
It just feels like he's really, really out of place.
This is the Siege of Terra, possibly the most climatic event in the universes history but instead of focusing on, y'know, THE CHARACTERS WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT, nope we gotta focus on Warhammers Doctor Who
I’ve been waiting for this video since I first learned of your hatred for Johnny G
Damn, never thought I’d hear negative self talk from the great chrono.
Ah as someone who's only read legion this explains why everyone hates him, thankyou.
I was waiting for this.
ME TOO MAN
