I way over simplified it because I didn't want to write an entire book like you just did.
But yeah, you're right. In one of the recent books there are a couple of chapters where Guilliman was super pissed at The Emperor for not warning any of them about the Chaos Gods. Later on he realized why The Emperor did it that way. Humans who give the Chaos Gods any kind of direct attention only strengthens them, and then humans would wind up thinking about them during every waking moment. Guilliman finally understood that The Emperor was trying to save humanity from the terrors of its own mind, and that He and He alone would deal with the Chaos Gods when the time came.
*makes sign of the Aquilla*
The Emperor Protects.
Guilliman later theorized (oh, how he loves his theoreticals and practicals) that Living Saints were actually high level psykers whose faith in The Emperor stabilized their abilities.
That's some Primarch-level cope that ol' Rowboat's achieving there.
It remains to be seen if he is right, but I think he might be.
He's basing this on a study of Imperial records, though, which, as we know from
Gaunt's Ghosts, tend to be institutionally biased against miraculous happenings to the point of actively striking all but the most blatant and undeniable from the historical record.
Then Guilliman started reading the Lectitio Divinatus.
Oh goody.
Yes but by lore Skeletor used to be Keldor who was a blue elf.
All elves by default are gay weak girly men.
Being the buffest elf is like being the tallest midget.
Keldor looks less like an elf than a really ripped, barbarian Dracula. I don't think many women could resist
that combination...
In which, case being transformed into his current form should improve his chances.
Nah, no way Skeletor can't get some. I mean, his symbol is a ram's horns on that staff of his. His whole motif screams sex machine.
He's got
another ram's skull directly over his junk, too. It was actually sculpted as part of the original figure's accessories but the more primitive injection molding techniques of the early 1980s meant that a lot of the detail was lost and so it ended up being omitted from a lot of depictions of the character until more recently, but it was always meant to be there:
Would be nice to have Gina back. I liked her character and she played off Pedro pretty well.
Agreed.
Not sure who was complaining about Mackie taking over as Cap though, that's pretty well known even by comic normies.
I don't hate it conceptually (in practice, with the "you have to do better" shtick, it's kind of a different story), but it still feels kind of forced, as Bucky seems like the more natural (rather than politically-correct) successor, being Steve's lifelong brother-figure and a fellow supersoldier who has previously demonstrated that he can handle the shield, as opposed to Sam, who has only known Steve for a couple of years and has no physical enhancements.
Let's see how Netflix ruins another 1980's series, Transformers.

For context it's BW Megatron talking to G1 Megatron.
I thought that ther first two "War for Cybertron" arcs were actually pretty good. I really hope they don't fuck up the game in the third period...
