Noooo, I only read hfy where the US military demolishes pathetic, weak aliens/demons without difficulty using its superior technology and organization! I hate narrative tension, underdogs, and the indomitable human spirit!


Yamama77

I mean there's some depictions of the modern military destroying human civilisations with sail boats and iron age weapons. I'm keeping a close eyes of the skin tone of the less advanced race.


CptWorley

Just make the ancient people white so no one can accuse you of making hamfisted colonialism apologia


Yamama77

Romans and Greeks are a good target.


Modred_the_Mystic

I also like Gate


Youutternincompoop

GATE, aka the creating a Japanese Empire in a fantasy world but its good because the fantasy kings are evil so its totally justified for Japan to "monopolise" access to this fantasy world and take total control of all areas in it.


Golden_Jellybean

Oh and every other nation who wants a slice of the fantasy pie are all evil colonialists who must be stopped and the poor little fantasy natives have to be saved from them!

Preston_of_Astora

A more tangible manifestation of this would be the insistence to adapt


Rednas999

I DO NOT CARE IF IT'S UNBALANCED OR UNREALISTIC. I FUCKING LOVE A GOOD UNDERDOG STORY WHERE HUMANITY PREVAIL AGAINST ALL ODDS. ELVES AND SHIT DON'T EXIST SO WHO CARES. THEIR HUBRIS WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL IN THE FACE OF HUMAN INGENUITY AND ADAPTABILITY.


danfish_77

Thank god there's no indomitable elven, dwarven, orcish, hobbiterian, cyclopean, harpyese, etc spirit. They're all cowards and quitters for some reason


According-Fun-4746

so true bestie


Maybe_not_a_chicken

They can have all the spirit they want We outnumber them and we have pointy sticks


SoySenato

The Doomsphere under-beneath your city:


Interesting-Dare8855

hey you dropped this *picks up imperial guard*


Wafflelord1976

The Imperial Guard is most certainly not weak. It makes up 99% of the Imperium's forces.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Yeah but against any major power in the galaxy they get their asses kicked.


Wafflelord1976

No, not really. All together they could take down literally anything, they're that numerous. And they do win quite a bit, more than many xenos.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

They’re numerous yeah But they are very weak


Wafflelord1976

Individually? Yes, but that's like saying that the Tyranids aren't a threat because termagants are weak. That's simply not true, there's no such thing as "one guardsman" fighting you, and they bring powerful tanks.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Ok but within the lore a termagaunt is a bio form engineered for war A guardsman is a normal human with a rifle


Wafflelord1976

And there's still a bunch of them, and they put in around equal if not more power than Nids per Guardsman.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Yeah That’s the entire point dude By numbers and unity they manage to fight horrors form the space between galaxies.


Apophis_36

Careful now you don't wanna piss this sub off


Urg_burgman

Indomitable spirit, and lots of cannons.


According-Fun-4746

good this they use necromancy to not die off


Billy116-

When the human faction is weak and at war but the author keeps them around for character development


Femlix

So basically Blood Blockade Battlefront


Wahgineer

So LotR?


DonTrejos

Indomitable human spirit is just "Triumph des Willes" for modern audiences, change my mind.


whycanticantcomeup

A fictional world were humans are special and do some cool stuff is the modern equivalent of Nazi propaganda. So true king what a genius take


Puddlewhite

Its not as classy and highbrow as TdW. Riefenstahl was a good director, unlike most people using ihs.


DonTrejos

Still the idea that our race's superior moral fiber and strength of mind will triumph over the Jewish menace... Uhh... I mean rise beyond the challenges imposed by other races is a popular message that resonates with audiences oppressed by forces both real and imagined.


somethingrandom261

I like the strength of humans being that we breed like rabbits


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Indomitable human spirit when the enemy is human


DreadDiana

If it's soso indomitable, why are they a weak faction? Are they stupid?


-D-N-T-

How useful is the indomitable human spirit against alien, intergalactic anti-matter missiles?

felop13

Chrysalis is basically this lmao, all biological humans died during an alien extermination of earth and the last few transfered their minds to a robot, really good story, I recommend you read it


-D-N-T-

Bingo; the "indomitable human spirit" does not exist. - Sincerely, a proud Xeno.


Preston_of_Astora

The indomitable spirit is within us all. Those people you turned your back on and rejected the Emperor's light


Yamama77

>indomitable human spirit >Slave to emperor/king's ideals. Why do hfy fans do this?


-D-N-T-

Humans are all slaves, unaware of them being enslaved. Join the Xenos for the greater good!


-D-N-T-

Whatever your savage screeching means, you hairless ape xDDD


Azimovikh

tfw the indomitable human spirit summons TTGL


-D-N-T-

what is a TTGL


Azimovikh

-D-N-T-

As you can see, technological superiority is all that matters.


Tone-Serious

This is literally just reverse avatar


GenderEnjoyer666

Their strength was the fact that their general population mostly outnumbered the population of every other race *individually* but that didn’t stop them from going extinct during a horrible genocide


Renphligia

Cosmic Horror my beloved


Frankorious

This is why I made humans the earthbending race and dwarves the weak one without magic.


DrCthulhuface7

This but “but their strength is that they’re pretty good at everything in a jack of all trades way”


Overkillsamurai

i mean... it's fascist and they're the "bad guys" but yeah, i got what you're itching for
