Is Warhammer 40k a RIP-OFF of Dune? | Comparing Both Settings

g'day guys and gal i just watched june last night as due to that older nurgle thing that's been happening its launch was super delayed in australia it was a great movie very different to what you usually see with some awesome sci-fi elements as i was watching the movie though i couldn't help but feel a bit of deja vu a number of names technologies and themes were more or less nearly identical to the ones found in warhammer 40k like sure june was the father of sci-fi the lord of the rings of futuristic settings but there was a bit too much of the older insert can i copy your homework meme kind of thing going on and that would be totally fine not every setting has to reinvent the wheel or be totally original if it wasn't for the fact that games workshop didn't recently crack down hard on their ip and basically kill multiple highly regarded warhammer channels channels that were generating a shitload of free marketing for warhammer as well as providing millions of people with obscene levels of entertainment till this day gw has not done anything to rectify that situation and warhammer plus remains a huge letdown gw have ripped off another franchise and now pretend their ip is fresher than an aborted fetus and that's just not on before we get started you ever find yourself going to bed after a fat gaming session and you just can't fall asleep then you wake up tired the next day hates your life and then do it all again what if i told you that there was a solution to this that didn't involve getting rid of your demonic late night gaming sessions introducing gmg blue light blocking glasses if you don't know what blue light is it's basically part of the light spectrum with the shortest wavelength and the highest energy this means exposure to blue light basically tells your brain to do absolutely anything other than fall asleep phones computer screens tvs and the sun give off a huge amount of blue light blue light blocking glasses are able to block that wavelength meaning you can stay up on your computer or browse the internet in bed without sending your circadian rhythm to the gulag you can literally see the glasses blocking the blue light this is a product that i genuinely use when i know i've got like an hour or two before bed i'll just chuck these on and it makes all the difference i wear the silver variant of the gmg optimizer because it's my favorite style of glasses with christmas coming up gmg are doing a 40 discount so if you're looking for a genuinely useful and quality gift to give now's your chance cheers to gmg for helping to fund leroy's expensive ass dog food today we're going to go through the june movie part 1 as well as a little bit of the books and [ __ ] to show off the various things that warhammer has taken from it this will range from inspirations and references to straight up copy paste despite the vibe of this intro this isn't going to be a rant video but more so an educational comparison with some good old harmless fun-loving australian vulgarity let's get into it [Music] let's set the scene for both settings june is set about 20 000 years in the future with 40k being well you have set 40k years in the future both settings use our current president pastors history which is unlike star wars who basically establishes that it is wildly separate from our reality so both settings are set very far in the future way further than most other sci-fi settings such as halo which is set in the 25th century and star trek which kicks off in the 22nd century both settings revolve around an interstellar empire controlled by humanity called the imperium the imperium of both settings is ruled by a very powerful and godlike entity known as the god emperor for june this emperor would come later on but the point remains both imperiums also experience technological stagnation due to the fact that both imperiums outlawed the use of ai or significantly advanced technology this is because you guessed it both imperiums have a history of waging war against robots which cause them to have a deep mistrust of anything that has more computing power than a korean sex doll so we've literally just established this setting and we can already see a shitload of comparisons star wars was also inspired by june and does have similarities such as the emperor but the star wars emperor isn't some godlike revered bean more like a saggy scrotum who invested all his skill points into force lightning but that's just the basic scene the rip continues in dramatic fashion due to the lack of ai in either settings both settings have a class of selectively bred mutant humans called navigators who allow interstellar travel to take place by using some wacky mind voodoo to guide a ship safely as it travels faster than light i kid you not 40k didn't even change the name of the navigator the only difference between them is that a jew navigator needs to rail more space spice than dan bilzerian in order to be able to see the future and choose the best path forward whilst warhammer navigators have a third eye which allows them to see into the warp and pick the right path through hell as a continuation of this because neither setting has super advanced computers especially june they rely on augmented humans to be the computers for them in june they have these dudes that look like they're taking a fat shot of heroin whilst calculating extremely advanced mathematics and calculations whilst warhammer has stuff like servitors and tech breests which are heavily cyberized people that maintain their human brain what you thought i was done nah man we're just getting started in june there are select few individuals that are born with supernatural gifts able to control things with their minds in warhammer these are psyches and in june they're called the um bene gustiet or whatever the [ __ ] they're called although the biennius was more of a secret organization rather than what the supernatural people were called the benny's former stability as i'll call them is the voice no not the shouty [ __ ] one from skyrim the one where you can compel weak-minded people into doing your bidding just like an eisenhorn where psyches can use the will to compel weak-minded people into doing their bidding the will and the voice work in an identical way the more trained or powerful someone is the more potent their voice or will both settings also use a lot of latin for naming conventions to prove this let's play a game which planet is from warhammer or june planet one thracian primaris planet two alpha corvus planet three ishia planet four advantas5 this is the answer if you guessed them all correctly then good on you you [ __ ] nerd this doesn't just extend to planets though various names and titles follow the same format in warhammer english is called low gothic and latin is called high gothic so points for trying to make it different but yeah you could probably genuinely name swap anything from either setting and no one would even notice so that covers the literal copy paste i was able to find i'm sure there's more so feel free to leave a comment below but i do want to talk about the more loki inspirations that warhammer took from june stuff that reminds you of warhammer but isn't just a straight up red the first of these being everyone's obsession with using melee weapons in large-scale conflict despite the futuristic technology and large array of big-ass guns in warhammer people melee because it looks cool everyone is also pretty armored and has a lot of numbers on each side so stuff like deep striking and bayonet charging is a huge vibe in june there is an extremely sciencey and kind of interesting but also kind of dumb explanation see in june most warriors use these energy shields that block fast or high velocity attacks so stuff like bullets or arrows get easily blocked by the shields however slow attacks are able to pass through the shield for a kill hence creating these weird fighting styles where you have to attack your enemy quickly until you go for the kill then you have to pretend you're in zero gravity or some [ __ ] to get past their shield another reason why everyone is scared of guns in june is that certain firearms have a chance to trigger a nuclear reaction upon hitting a shield hence creating a mini nuclear explosion that will vaporize the entire battlefield so yeah not great to be honest i'm surprised people don't just take advantage of that fact and use snipers to make the enemy shield nuke themselves but i'm sure there's a good reason why that isn't the case the warriors of june are also very traditional and prefer fighting in melee as seen by how [ __ ] hectic and skillful everyone looks in battle another similarity is the fact that the best warriors in both settings come from the shittiest worlds the fremen are top tier warriors and they live on a hot dusty [ __ ] infested with gigantic sand worms whilst warhammer has legendary warriors such as the death corps of krieg who live in a world that was nuked to [ __ ] and is more or less uninhabitable or the katachin jungle fighters who live on the warhammer equivalent of australia logic dictates that highly funded and resourceful nations produce the best soldiers due to their high budgets for training equipment and tactics however in june and warhammer it's pretty much the other way round if our world followed the same logic then man africa would be unstoppable the final similarity i can pick is the theme and vibe of each setting neither setting is particularly funny or light-hearted june kicks off with a huge political portrayal that kills a shitload of people warhammer is in a constant state of galactic warfare and suffering characters die violently and undignified in both settings the aesthetic for both settings also started off very similar everything was harsh and unaesthetic warhammer has since gone off and made its own style but there is still a lot of similarities when it comes to the overall theme so as we can see a bit of a rip overall but there are some very key differences between the settings as well in june there is absolutely no intelligent alien life like by the end of the series they've explored pretty much the entire universe without encountering any all of june is human on human conflict and while subhumans do feature they are still born of humanity warhammer on the other hand is loaded with all different kinds of xeno races and very non-human characters whilst human on human warfare is common aliens are considered to be the greater enemy overall warhammer also leans more towards sci-fi fantasy due to the warp existing as well as mystical god-like entities and blatant magical powers whilst june is a bit more grounded not like super grounded but a lot more grounded than a roided up super soldier punching a gigantic space bug of death in the face as time goes on the two settings have obviously diverged quite a lot but the fundamental copy paste is still there which would be fine if games workshop weren't such a bunch of stuck-up pricks about their ip if you enjoyed the video
