    Disappointing to think that the night lords could have just been a chapter of lawyers instead of psychos. Imagine for a moment a space marine in a suit and tie with a briefcase just staring down a heretic, before listing off his crimes and then smashing his head in screaming guilty.

    I think my favorite bit that about Konrad is the scene where he's talking with Sanguinius and Sanguinius shows him that the future can be changed and he shits his pants in horror as he realizes that the only reason things we're going the way they were was because he didn't really try.

      ​@@BenersantheBread The point is, that Curze preferred to wage war in a way his brothers called "dishonourable" . The Night Lords conquered planets by killing a thousand people, brutally massacring them, flaying them alive etc. Other Legions, like the Space Wolves, World Eaters, even the Ultramarines, conquered planets in open battles, what was supposedly "honourable". But their way of waging war killed houndreds of thousands, if not millions, so much more people, but they nonetheless scolded Curze for his tactics. Here the quote relates to this. "Killing a dozen people at a dinner" refers to the Night Lords tactics, while "kill 10,000 men in battle" to the tactics of his brothers.

      Konrad *could* have become an avatar of justice and law and righteousness.

      My argument is that unlike Sanguinius or the Lion or Vulkan, Konrad never got the opportunity to really... Be human.
      It stunted him in many ways.
      He was more or less born into a lightless underworld cannibalizing quasi-innocent people. He didn't *grow up* learning about right and wrong and the law, he simply ate the wicked and learned how to spread terror as he went along.
      In other words, I think that Konrad's story would be a lot less tragic and wasted if he had ever had a mentor or someone capable of handling his psychic psychosis.

      Well. You have right at couple of things, indeed very right.
      One thing you have wrong, not to correct you becauseof be someonewt high horses.
      So. You can be born and live a hell hole life. Many people on our planet do. Example me. I lived in a hell hole life that i wish no one would go through in life.
      I have absolutely no one that loved me, not singel soul. And bad things happened. It ended my "youth" years as "kid, teenager " was lost pretty much.
      But i have not turn absolutely evil as human being or killing people. Yes i had shit life experience but it did not turn evil.
      surprisingly i always liked people, humans I wanted like people and always wanted to like them. sure i hated those that hurt me very much indeed and i will never forgive those people. But all other humans I no reason to hate them.
      Infact thats surprise me as adult and i have differnt and better life now. I always help people, im the one which support people around me and pushing them they are gonna make it and bring up their good natural qualities and talents so they can belive in themself they are good as they are and can work at be better in their best way. It can at training, at home at with them, bible studies, meetings.
      I had people that has come up to me and tell me this things im writing above.
      And i have been thinking on why im like this. The correct answer is, its my nature of me. Im born like that.
      Ofcoruse i if was born a planet that I have absolutely zero chance to pass through life as konrad curse, than i would not be stupid. It is and hole different thing.
      But the thing is KONRAD CURSE is a PRIMARCH. He could for heaven sake rethink his decision and conclusion, absolutely no singel living thing on HIS planet could stand against him. He would kill every one. The hole population on that planet could rise against him make a war against him. They would die, every one of them. They could be Billions of humans as force against him, but they all would have DIED! absolutely ZERO chance of to kill Konrad curse.
      With that power he has as "human", he could make decision and conclusion every god sake of crime is not equivalent to torture Death penalty punishment.
      He could. But other thing is, he is Genetically created to be hard and almost none empathy ( i guess). But those that make it logical & rational to be that cruel and totally evil? He has a Brian, and also extremely superior intelligence than an normal human as you and I. Could Konrad Curse understand the reasons behind when a BOY is stealing apple because of Food shortage or he his just poor (no money)? How the hell would the boy survive if he did not steal? Its the wieght of the crime "stealing an apple " equivalent to be torture to death in the most evil& cruel horrific way?
      Could Konrad Curse not read expression on people faces?
      Did he not care?
      I have very hard time to forgive Konrad Curse and any excuses. Because their its no, absolutely zero excuse:s what he did and had done to his people and the society.
      He has so many superior features compared to normal humans has.
      He had the brain power to exactly do opposite conclusion that he based his decision on.
      Yes he lived bad life as an boy/kid.
      But i dont accept that as an excuse.
      But his mental state and at the of his life is very sad and tragically. He had no way to fix it. Which is an fact, he was bad "programmed " in his DNA which eventually broke him down mentally.
      But that is another topic.

  • @youngthinker1
    @youngthinker1 5 лет назад +203

    To summarize:
    The original Konrad served as an example of what happens when law becomes divorce from morality. His mind breaking from the stress of his unethical actions and his attempts to justify himself using the logic of "the ends justify the means," but ultimately his salvation came from assisted sucide in a vain attempt at repentance for his crimes against humanity.
    The new Konrad exists as an example of what happens when a child gains too much too quickly. All his knowledge lacked wisdom or experience to temper it, thus he became increasingly irrational. The splitting of his mind represents his attempts to preserve his innocence, but by imprisoning his humanity, he allows a callous lawful evil monster to walk the universe; searching for a hunter to put himself down. Eventually, the monster gives up and the child awakens to the horrors of his actions and escapes any consequences through death.
    In my opinion, I prefer the old one to the new, as the old one serves as a cautionary tale about the law. While the new one, simply exists to be a tragic monster; Alucard from Hellsing, for example, demonstrated this concept and was executed to a better degree than the new Konrad. This lack of a moral lesson, along with the change in when he dies, just doesn't satisfy me.

    • @irontemplar6222
      @irontemplar6222 5 лет назад +25

      I agree. The original is a more compelling story.
      However, I will say the new Konrad is very much in line with most of the primarchs, and even the space marines. Commonly childish, and irrational. Often thinking themselves invincible, and better then others. The tale of all of them is commonly of what happens when you gain to much to fast, and scant few of the primarchs, and even less of the space marines manage to temper themselves with wisdom.

    • @MrFredstt
      @MrFredstt Год назад +3

      I disagree. There's many moral takeaways. One is the dangers of being victim to nihilism and deterministic thoughts. Thinking you cannot change so why bother? This is precisely Konrad's pov. He only ever saw visions of the worst possible futures and thus thought it couldn't be changed so he didn't bother to change it and whenever someone showed him that he COULD change his fate he didn't want to believe it. In the end, his own nihilism and deterministic thoughts was a self fulfilling prophecy. There's also the moral lesson about a lack of parental guidance. When Konrad was found by the Emperor he never once got any help or guidance by his father. Instead he was left to his own devices.

      Lorgar, for example, would be perfeclty happy to do his job if Emps told him the real reason behind Imperial Truth and why he needs to eradicate all traces of the old faith, in fact his zealotry would be ideal for the task. Each planet he brings to compliance would be another blow against the awfull and blasphemous Pantheon, and he'd probably killed both Kor Phaeron and Erebus as soon as they tried to start any shenanigans.
      Kurze, on the other hand, lacked 2 basic things - knowledge of the intricacies of justice systems, and understanding of the way prophecies can mess with you and become self-fulfilling. Not his fault by the way, he wasn't raised by adoptive parents and therefore recieved no education or experience of social interaction. He'd be better off if he was adopted by a hive gang.

      That depends on wether the other Night Lords would not immediately make like Abaddon when he pulled the whole “You’re not my REAL dad.” routine with the Horus clone Fabulous Bill and the Emprah’s Kiddos cooked up.
      Really, I think the percentage that got the hint like Talos that Konrad despised his legion would decline to follow a facsimile of their Primarch, as are the percentage who view chaos worship as essentially a more lucrative form of being a criminal, just like on Nostramo. There are bound to be a few who have Blood Angels Tier daddy issues, though a few might also sign up just out of a desire to see the legion reunited.

    Lord Konrad Curze/Night Haunter, after listening to this video and the book review, he was a tortured soul, the manner of his arrival to Nostramo, some may say "So what, didn't the Lion come to Caliban a Death World and run around killing and eating chaos monsters the second he came out of the pod!" Yes but the memories the Lion gained from the chaos creators was that the preyed on humanity. Curze when he consumed the people of Nostramo, he gained their memories that anybody can be victim of somebody else it was just a matter of time. Secondly, every other Primarchs as far as we know came to have some human contact, even Angron had the High-Riders. Taught to fight to survive not knowing his own inner power and strength and than altered by the Butcher's Nails. Curze had nobody to teach him anything, he had no reference point to base what was good, what was bad what was right what was wrong, he only had the emotions of the people of Nostramo which were in a very abysmal state to say the least. The pain of his arrival and being alone did damage him but not to the point of not being able to be repaired, enough of his "Good Side" was there to safe and rebuild on. When the Emperor came for him, Rogal Dorn and others were also there, Curze only reacted when he came face to face with the Emperor, and at that point the Emperor should have known the severity of Curze's mental damage and started the process to heal him, but the Emperor saw the efficiency of Curze methods and planned to use him to the utmost of Curze's own abilities and limits. To than end, Curze was the Emperor's best general, no hesitation to do what needed to be done no matter how deep and or wide the lake of blood that needed to be crossed was. To the point the the other Primarchs had deep reservations about Curze. If the Emperor had taken some time to help Curze and placed him under Sanguinius' care and tutelage who knows how he would have turned out, he may have been the leading Primarch against Horus! What I am trying to say is, let's not judge him to harshly, let's listen before passing a sentence, for out in dark edges many sons of Konrad still prowl waiting to show us first hand the lessons they learned from the Night Haunter himself

      The Horus Heresy would still have happened, but it would have been the Lorgar Heresy, the only thing that would change was the Son's of Horus would have remained Loyalist.

    Truly a beautiful remake, Arch, thank you! I still find elements of the original amusing in how they are worded (i.e. the Superman dynamic, ha), and it would be a tragedy to take it down, I hope you keep both incarnations up.
    I have read a few fanfictions, that have the fallen Primarchs as the protagonists and the loyal Primarchs as antagonists, swapping their allegiance. Including a point where insane Vampire-Sanguinius kills Horus, after having visions of Horus killing him, and replaces Fulgrim in the cloning idea wanting his brother (Horus) to love and join him rather than reject him. Some of the plot points include; With Angron, it was an interesting AU, where he was instead adopted by the Nobility then led a revolt against the leaders and freed the slaves. Konrad was sane, had been adopted by a woman who tragically died and freed of terrible visions by the Emperor's arrival. Sometimes he played "pica-boo" pranks on his Legion and serfs, when they went looking for his random sleeping places, and hadn't had serious visions until the approaching of the Heresy which he told Fulgrim who also remained loyal. Fulgrim and Konrad were close, Fulgrim believed in Konrad, and Fulgrim mourned Konrad's death at the hands of Vulcan at the Drop Site Massacre.
    On a side note: Apparently, according to new sources, it is hinted that the Lost Primarchs were actually divided, one apparently fell and the other was loyal, but as we've seen with the intentions of Konrad and Alpharius Omegon... loyalty is a questionable point. What is good and just, what is an act of loyalty, changes by person. Although, in the new Cawl book they did reveal one of the Lost Legions through a reflection seen on Pharos by Primaris, wearing original Gray Armour and 2/5 of them being Psykers. I live with the theory that the Second Legion were built to combat the warp and other such entities, so I am leaning that this was a cameo of the Second Legion.

    Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Primarch Konrad the sad? Legend has it Konrad was a dark primarch of the emperor, so powerful and scary he could even influence Nostramo to stop crime.
    He could actually save the population from crime?
    The dark side of ethics is a pathway to many acts some consider to be unnatural.
    What happened to him?
    He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his righteousness, which eventually he did. Unfortunately, he taught his legion everything he knew, but they were corrupted, and he was assassinated in his sleep. Ironic. He could stop crime, but became a criminal himself.
    is it possible to learn this thesis?
    Not from a loyalist.

    One of my three favorite Primarchs, the tragedy of Konrad I believe was one of pure bad luck, any other world but Nostramo and his fate would've been different. There was no light on Nostramo, literally and metaphorically, it conditioned him, he could never see the light in humanity, only the dark. His visions showed him the darkest path fate could take and he believed that was absolute, for on Nostramo there was no virtue, thus how could the common man be virtuous? The only virtue he found was in his fellow Primarchs and the Emperor, this stood at odds with who he was and this created in him a sense of self loathing so strong he couldn't countenance it. Any world but Nostramo.

      @@1110-s1t if you swapped Angron with Konrad? I still stand that yes he would. Konrad's MO was stealth and foresight, unlike the brute force of Angron, so it would be conceivable that he could avoid the nails. Falling that however, the poor of Nuceria were a far cry from the cruel ruling elite and if he went down the same path as Angron he would potentially see that, and the Night Lords drawn from Nuceria would not be rotten to the core, avoiding the tarnishing of his legacy like Nostramo. If he received the nails there would be no justice in inflicting the nails on others, so the legion that came from that world would be one free from the nails bite. In addition, I think Angron would take well to Nostramo, brute force his way to the top and turn out far better then he did on Nuceria.
      The eldar wouldn't have shown up to attack him and if they did he would escape, either way avoid the slavery and see Nuceria for what it was, fight for justice for the masses. Applying his tactics instead of Angron's and the nobles of Nuceria would be either dead or changed in short order.
      Finally the nails typically overloaded psykers, no telling what that would do to a primarch that was also a psyker like Curze, so that is a little harder to speculate on.

      I hadn't considered the psyker aspect of the nails, but that's a good point. What I was thinking was the nails would work, and inflame the split personality issue which I took as a given part of Kurzes nature, and but it reacts with his physiology differently, exacerbating his need for justice of the bloody variety. Ending up with a similarly psychotic Kurze without the nagging of his prophetic visions.
      No doubt Angron would do better on Nostromo, your assessment on that front is basically what I would expect.
      Assuming no nails Kurze, I think gladiator him is tricky enough to conquer Nuceria and he becomes the son he was meant to be.

Either way they would probably burn through him faster then they did Angron, but with a determination to spread compliance before his end came the Night Lord's would be a legion to be reckoned with.

    Vulkan during his capture is a pretty obvious physical metaphor for hope.

    My personal belief is Kurze, if he had spared the boy, his legion more noble and loyal to the Emperor. That he could have formed a bond with the Angel, maybe both could learn of each other's perceived fates. And maybe the angelic Primarch would have made such an impression that Kurze would seek to avert the oncoming fate of his brother. I think that Kurze would have been on Terra and boarded with the Emperor. That he would be the first to confront Horus. That Sanguinius would have arrived to see his closest brother murder another whom he pitied and perhaps wished to protect, and this could have filled the Angel with such wrath that he may well have struck Horus down in his fury, but been unwilling to kill him, so he would die just the same. But it would be a broken, wounded Horus the Emperor faced, not the mighty champion of the Powers Undivided. The 41st millennium could have been very different indeed, if only Kurze had made one decision differently.
