- Description: Perhaps the best reimagining of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with a delirious, violent, funny, and edgy portrayal of the God Emperor's domain.

The Dark Millennium universe gained traction among gamers thanks to titles like [***Space Marine 2***](https://www.421.news/es/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2/), *Darktide*, and *Rogue Trader*, and with the release of *Secret Level Amazon* it offered a taste of what a CGI series could look like. But in general, [*Warhammer 40,000*](https://www.421.news/es/warhammer-40k-introduccion-wargames/) adaptations into audiovisual content win on the visual side and lose on the script: they all tell the same story. That's not the case with ***Space King***, a parody that perfectly captures the most delirious aspects of the **God Emperor**'s universe.

From the [**Flashgitz**](https://www.youtube.com/@Flashgitz/videos?ref=421.news) studio, this animated YouTube series parodies the life of a group of **Star Defenders** on a quest for the relics that will bring the **Space King** back to his throne. In its two released episodes, the series delivers a level of graphic and narrative violence as ridiculous as the actual [***Warhammer 40,000***](https://www.421.news/es/tag/warhammer/) lore. Here our "heroes" are a band of space brutes, xenophobes with zero empathy, who blindly follow orders and face any threat in order to show devotion to the absent **Space King**.

My favorites on the team are **Chestnut**, a medic who still retains some empathy for life; and **Hatemonger**, a brute whose only motivation is killing alien races. They have great moments together and make ***Space King***, for now, a highly recommended animated series.
