The sorcerer kills the Marines by exploiting their deepest fear. The first one sees something I think is his old human self, so he probably fears his own frailty. The Seargent sees Titus, first as the fearless child, then as an Ultramarine...and then fallen to Chaos. That's his fear. Then when the sorcerer enters the mind of Titus, Titus doesn't care. He fears nothing at all, and the Sorcerer immediately tries to pull back but Titus instinctively attacks him psychically
My take on the first space marine dying is that he feels that he's weak without his armor protecting him, he's not fully confident in his abilities. If you ultra-nerd about it, he's the lowest rank of the group, too.
@@maximumrpg3707 It was in no way a sorcerer. Chaos sorcerers at least look human. That abomination upon reality had a single eye that was also a dang mouth. That's a whacky as Tzeentchian daemon, no bones about it
@@dj11o9eronce human but this is a lesser demon of tezzch and yes Titus made quick work now if it was a keeper of secrets he would of struggled because a more powerful demon
Context: Titus is an Ultramarine (a specific Space Marine legion) that was accused of heresy roughly 100 years ago (he is over 400). That happened in the videogame "Space Marine" from 2011. He was sent to a special "penance division" called The Death Watch where he served for around a century. In the game "Space Marine 2" from 2024, you start playing as Titus as a Death Watch member. He ends up going back to the Ultramarines and finding new faith in the cause. This movie happens after that game, where there are still fears and suspicions among his battle brothers about him and the possibility of betrayal. He is, in fact, a very strange individual. He is a maverick in nature, which is very unusual for a space marine. He is also extremely resistant to demonic powers, which is something you never see except in traitors that have accepted the demonic powers and pledged alliagance to them. The rest you can assume.
At the end, Titus gives Metaurus the slightest of nods, basically saying "I've got this", before leaving to annihilate the Chaos cultists. That's when Metaurus remembers his earlier line, "What could a soul like that be capable of?" but this time in wonder instead of just curiosity.
A squad of veteran space marines one being Titus, the boy who was chosen. Another of them was the man who chose him our narrator. they are sent on a mission believed to be a suicide mission but at the same time important enough for them to send valuable experienced space marines to die. the mission is to destroy that statue the creature is guarding. the statue is of a daemon of tzneech. The enemies they are fighting are worshipers of Tzeentch the chaos god of change and sorcery. in order of appearance chaos cultists (the guys on the bikes) then bird mutants i believe are called Tzaangor (the glowing blood) then a demon sorcerer of tzneech. The idea of it is to ask what a boy incapable of fear even before he is selected and made into a genetically modified super soldier that only wages war would be capable of. Maybe he is what we should fear because in contrast he might be the greatest monster there.
@@watchtimefriends also the sorcerer of tzeench, that creepy alien thing. It was infiltrating their minds and turning their fear against them by manifesting it into reality. The first guy was afraid of being the weak ling amongst them so he got his head crushed by another space marine, the narriator was afraid of Titus so he got stabbed by him, and Titus... Well he has never known fear so the alien was stunned and killed. Wonderful detail.
People always forget the line "fear forged into obedience, into faith" in the beginning. If Titus doesn't have any fear, how can he have it turned into obedience? And following that, how can that obedience turn into faith (in the God Emperor)? That is why Metaurus fears Titus.
To give a brief overview of what Warhammer 40K is, there are 3 main things you need to know. 1. The series takes place in the far future year of 40,000, hence the name 2. Hell is real. It’s called “The Warp” and within there are demons and godlike entities that wish to destroy or corrupt humanity 3. Humanity at this point has become a hyper religious, alien hating, fascist, imperialist super state that worships their leader, The Emperor of Mankind, as an immortal living god. There’s a lot more that others in the comments have covered, but essentially the Space Marines, the big guys in armor, were sent to this planet to kill a bunch of demon worshipers in the name of their divine, holy leader.
As a cheap analogy, this is like the SWAT team raiding a cultist den, who were trying to summon (more) demons.. difference is, demons exist in this universe, and it needs to be contained at all cost. The two characters at the end are central to the recent WH40K game, Space Marine 2. What Titus has over everyone else is the absence of fear, a literal defect in his DNA. key to the plot lol. I would also recommend Bricky's video as its how i learned about this world ans fell in love with it. Quite the rabbit hole!
@randomdude8202 to each his own. Bricky successfully converted me, while the other lore videos, i use to fall asleep.. they aren't entertaining enough to listen for hours without losing focus, for me. If i need to verify info like an encyclopedia, sure, i'll go to a more in depth lore video.
@ Then you dont really know any other channels, and shouldn't be suggesting. Lutein and Weshammer for lore, Baldermort, A Vox in the Void, Warrior Tier, for stories, and many other channels exist, and all of them has better videos. There are 2 problems with memes. First, people who in it due to memes, act like memes are lore. They even argue that is the case. Like "there are no good guys in 40k" meme. Lore is so vast, that is really a gross generalization, not the mention ultra simplistic with its "black and white" approach. Second one is; if you are in it for memes, you are not really in it at all. Lore is rich. Yes, memes are fun , but it is like getting your feet wet at the beach thinking that is all to it, while an ocean full of wonders and t.rrors lie in front of you.
@randomdude8202 You need to chill, my man. She is new to this, watching bricky doesnt mean you will never watch anything else. I've watched Luetin quite a few times, and some other stuff. Right now it feels like you are trying to gatekeep. Some people like to have fun, some people would rather be way too serious about it. There is litterally hundreds of books about the subject, do you expect everyone to read everything or shut up? Let newcomers in the way they want and calm down. They will keep digging deeper if they like it, or not.
For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of mankind. By the might of his inexhaustible armies a million worlds stand against the dark. Yet, he is a rotting carcass, the Carrion Lord of the Imperium held in life by marvels from the Dark Age of Technology and the thousand souls are sacrificed each day so his may continue to burn. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. It is to suffer an eternity of carnage and slaughter. It is to have the cries of anguish and sorrow drowned by the thirsting laughter of dark gods. This is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. Forget the power of technology and science. Forget the promise of progress and advancement. Forget any notion of common humanity or compassion. There is no peace amongst the stars, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
He's not a psyker so he's a bit useless to them. Besides, Grey Knights are nothing like normal space marines, and they have to be a child to join the Grey Knights.
@TjarkoTarnen Physically, grey knights are the same as regular space marines. They difference lies in the selection process for candidates are a lot stricter, and that any previous personality and memories are scrubbed completely removing any trace of their previous humanity. Besides that it all comes down to stricter training and more advanced equipment. Space marines were made to protect the Imperium. Grey knights only have one task and that is to exterminate demons, no matter the cost.
@ Well genetically they are different also, they have pure geneseed from the emperor himself compared to normal marines who’s geneseed comes from their primarch.
*Super* soldiers. Genetically enhanced up the wazoo, armed and armoured with the best the Imperium has to offer. Demi-gods, revered by mortal men as the god-emperor's angels of death. The mad max types are Chaos cultists that hope to attain daemonhood. If a daemon is killed in material space, they return to the immaterium - usually referred to as the warp, where the Chaos gods reside - from which they can return to normal space to plague their foes again. To the cultists, it's the closest to immortality they'll ever get... or not, in this case. The marines' purity seals burn in the presence of Chaos, which is also responsible for Metaurus' flashback, and gravity getting wierd in the hole; the warp's attention to physics is selective at best, sanity-shattering at worst. The daemons the marines fight in the dark are what the cultists hoped to become. The statue is of a greater daemon of Tzeentch; it's destruction is their primary mission. The psyker was in a box, partly so a mere human would survive the drop, mostly to hide his psychic presence from the forces of Chaos. He projects a shield that defends against psychic attacks, but is vulnerable to the daemon sorceror's blade. He dies, the shield drops, the marines are affected by the timestop. The first died due to a form of imposter syndrome, hence THE LIE now engraved on his armour. Metaurus feared Titus could turn to Chaos, and was thus betrayed. But Titus himself had no fear for the sorceror to exploit, to its brief regret. Titus splits the sorceror in twain with the same combat blade he once dragged along as a child. Titus is the protagonist of the Space Marine games. This takes place after SM2. If you want to learn more about 40k, I suggest reacting to Bricky's "Every Faction Explained" videos, they're a hoot.
Welcome to Warhammer. Where wizards are kept in boxes for their own safe keeping and everyone worships the emperor or else. And it’s a good time if you live till the next day.
Upon further review I realized the moral of the story is: “Titus is THAT guy” 😂
Only a talantless, braindead "people" make reactions videos.....
He, and Malum Caedo, the player character from the 40k boomer shooter Blotgun. His name is literally “I kill Evil” in Latin.
Space marines are big burly men, lead by even bigger burly men(Primarchs), lead by the biggest burly man(The Emperor).
To be fair after his last battle the Emperors lost a bit of weight.
@ “a bit”
A lot of burly men in this equation 😂
@@watchtimefriends highly recommend you play rogue trader if you're into rpgs.
