@@whom382 He could first reform it, so it may serve the course, for a while, and delite it later, for God's sake, in which ever God you believe. We don't effin care.
Don't worry emperor, give them 20-30 years and after your passing they will go "hell sure he was not crystal clear but at least there was peace" and 200 years later historians will go "uniting process was painful, and there were some troubles in the beginning but it created our country so in the grand scheme of things it was acceptable"
@@jameschambers9969 Oh please: "of course what happened was sad, tragic even, but we cannot judge the emperor on the basis of our current day morality, those were different times, and standards were not the same as today"
Just the kind of scurrilous, anti-imperialist despot propaganda I’ve come to expect from the this channel. I’ve been tortured by His Majestic Awesomeness twice and both times I’ve found him to be charming, professional and, within the limits of our circumstances, a true gentleman!
@@anonygent Oh, it wasn't really drama, he was just a jackass New Zealander who pretended to have a sense of empathy in order to project his insecurities onto people
Zahak the Serpent King from Iranian mythology, who used to feed people's brain to the two serpents sprounting from his shoulder actually asked his advisors and random petitioners whether the people loved him.
@@Lichelf no. And in fact one hated him so much that even after the king agreed to not sacrifice his last son to his snake shoulders when he tried to get the peasant to sign s paper saying he was a good king the peasant ripped it up in front of him and walked out while everyone was to stunned to stop him
It's cool, he'll just buy it in a move that clearly won't upset anyone or be a clear blatant response to federal judges holding the emperor responsible for their tweets.
"And Steve! Make sure to put the purple crystal that contains 95% of my power on a lone pedastal in the middle of a large, empty room. And make it float." "But sire isn't that just inviting theft?" "Do not question me Steve! Or I shall dangle you precariously over a pit of flaming snakes! For like....three hours!"
"Place my strongest lieutenants along the path. But make sure the weakest ones are first, so that the hero can become increasingly more skilled with each battle." "Sir, we can just have all your lieutenants in the same-" "Do not question me! Each one must be slightly more difficult than the last or those who oppose me will have no chance!"
Oh man... the fact that I INSTANTLY understood what the emperor wanted when he first said that the people might throw him a parade... I have been fully trained by corporate.
@@emblemblade9245 No, but stuff like "the CEO is visiting us here at the Dallas office next month; I heard that when he visited the Charlotte office last year the staff there made him a cake and named a puppy after him and he loved it, so..." is real.
Don’t forget when he survives an absolutely impossible situation, becoming the villain several decades later, making a character’s noble sacrifice completely meaningless
@@BurgerSoup "are you ever going to explain how that happened?" "no" "is anything our heroes do consequential to the story?" "not really" "why does any of it happen?" "Because lightsabres and explosions and hey look over there!"
Atleast it's better than having the main character who was shown to be the most kind and forgiving person suddenly becoming the biggest f*cking doechebag because of something they did that was completely out of character.
Just remember: the bad guy rules the realm for years of opulence and self-indulgence, and is only toppled in the last few minutes of the climax. It's not a bad deal, all things considered. Sure, the final 10 minutes or so may suck, but it might be worth it for decades of wealth and power.
Emperor is evil! -How? - He killed a dozen of his nephews! - Those rich bastards who would never gave me a time of day? Oh I just weep for them. - He created massive army. - Security yes, we are very secury, noticed how many barbarian raids there were on us ? Grand total of 0. Also my brother serves in the army, great pay, and chances of promotion. - he rules with iron fist! - administration works very efficiently agreed.
Just spend your limitless resources to sneak away and reitre right before it gets bad. Or negotiate with the heroes and offer them everything if they let you escape. It's a deal they can't refuse and it gets you out of trouble.
It's excellent. The only thing is that (having only seen the movies, at least) I've never really gotten the impression that Palpatine cares at all about what the average citizens think of him.
I loved that. All Hail the Beloved Emperor, Alasdair Beckett-King, First of His Name, Dark Lord of the Sith, Twisted Usurper of the Throne, Squasher of Nephews, Scourge of the Nibleboners, Ruler of all Helgasund. Long May He Reign!
Ten thousand men slaughtered in a single battle - Ok, hire a good song writer, remember something bombastic and catchy! - But sire, we have killed all those people, burned cities - Trust me it will be awesome, also make another one, something simple that soldiers can sing, you know basic but fun. -No one will sing it. -Trust me, they will, also remember we need a good painter, our forces must be shown in the light and enemies in darkness, you know classic "we are children of light" kind of stuff.. I can see it, hundreds of years from now people will be reading adventure books about it.
At least he knows his reign will be secure. It wasn't easy tracking down all 12 nephews, but he managed it, by gum. And now, a grateful people willingly enshrine his portrait over all their mantlepieces.
@@jazzy4830 loool ah yes the nieces- he forgot about them! they will be united- until they aren't. But until then- may Lord Red Palpatine beware. He may never see the Niece Brigade coming.
Too bad one of his minions tasked with killing one of the nephew's found out that the nephew had a newborn child which the minion proceeded to take in as his own child.
That's all well and good, but I was hoping to have my back a little less stabbed and the rivers a little less burned when I voted the Emperor and his Squash All Nephews Party into supreme power. And I never thought he was gonna squash MY nephews as well!
You know what would make the parade even more spontaneous? Someone that's lost their family to the empire finding a small misfit group of friends and trying to overthrow the emperor.
To take this seriously for a moment, thats kinda what the chinese government is doing. "Allow" people sometimes to speak openly just so you can make a list who to "deal with later" or simply black mail them to be used as spies later. And that way they can delete certain comments while leaving others, e.g when Russia invaded Ukraine Chinese censorship deleted all negative online comments leaving only positive pro invasion ones left, making it seem as if the public universally agrees with what ever the state is doing or saying. The Soviets controlled through this means all of society, by for one making most people believe its only them who is unhappy with the state of things and on the other hand make them afraid of speaking out or risk it being recored/listened by the wrong people or that one of your frinds who is unhappy has been forced to spy on you after getting caught themselves. Its suprising how easy it is actually to controll a society that way
For what it's worth, I'd imagine an evil emperor would be loved, primarily, by the people they enable. You see, when you take over an Empire you now have evil minions. These minions are people you allow and encourage to indulge their most sadistic impulses, and they'll appreciate that even if you aren't especially nice to them. This is why your evil empire should use skulls and spikes frequently, because it's great advertising for the kind of person who'd wanna serve your evil empire.
I love it that people can make films where one actor plays all the parts! Add excellent green screen technology and it looks REAL! The only real limit is a person’s skill and creativity.
@@gekkenhuisje - I agree! I grew up before the internet, and I was an early internet user (I was a programmer). I thought the internet would be an unmitigated “good”, but I was wrong. However, things like this tip the internet towards “good”. Fortunately, the internet is still evolving, so we’ll see whether it fulfills its promise of uniting the world and letting people understand each other better. Who knows?
He's just the latest in a long line of advisers, the last of whom was beheaded yesterday. Nothing personal, just tying up loose ends. Can't have the people's loyalty divided, you know.
There have been many Steves. Or one Steve with many faces. But, one thing is known: Steve is the Emperor's most loyal acolyte. Wherever the Emperor goes, there, following behind, ready to serve His Imperial Majesty's edicts, er, commands, er, needs, that's it, goes Steve.
It's hilarious how much it fits with Emperor Belos from The Owl House: 1.He wants to unite all witches under his coven system 2.there's a lackey named Steve 3. He old 4. *spoiler* He did kill multiple *Nephews*
Give it 500 years and the people will be like "emperor evilinus the first, founder of our nation and national symbol. Make sure kids learn about him and his personal life in school!"
Sure, he is responsible for half of the countries population dying, almost destroyed the already fragile economy twice, and tortured children. But he was the first, and you should respect him.
Well, I thought I’d try to write some witty comment, but instead; I’ll just take the easy route and read the comments.. The community’s pretty awesome here, always making me laugh even more after watching the videos from one of my favourite content creators.
gotta do some rebranding. It's not we've burnt your rivers and forced you to march in a parade, it's we've made the land more suitable for exciting new developments and we're conducting fun (but still mandatory) team-building exercises.
The Emperor who unites ends up hated, but no one dares question his rules When his grandson rules, memories have faded and the imperial structure is well-built so the Empire can last It's during the second generation than an Empire is actually the most fragile
To quote the Emperor Caligula: "Oderint dum metuant." Let them hate, so long as they fear. Mind you, he was done in by his own bodyguard, so you can take this too far.
i love the twist were he people came to remember his as one of the greats, sure he burned some rivers and was a bit of a diva but he did unite the lands and stabilize the echonomy and streamline the healthcare system... oh and he made the brothels state owned to improve working conditions
I always wondered why some people want to rule the world/galaxy/multiverse; the thought of having to deal with all that bureaucracy and paperwork gives me a headache.
1:00 "My name's not Steve." "Steve . . ." lol. Reminds me of the dialog between Handsome Jack and one of his minions in Borderlands 2: "Anything else on today's agenda, Jimmy?" "The name's 'Jeffrey' sir. And no." "Thanks, Jimmy!"
Meanwhile, God Emperor Leto Atreides II: "For a thousand generations, all of mankind will depise me for what I am about to do, but even so, it is necessary."
It's 3 am and i'm suffering a major bout of severe depression... getting myself drunk, i stumbled across this video by one of my favourite comedians... It made me laugh out loud and very loud at that... which isn't good since i've been living in a hotel for the last 4 months... but IS good because i needed the laugh...
"It will be the biggest parade; people will come to me with tears in their eyes and say, Sir, we never thought a parade could be so big, your parade numbers are through the roof! They never thought a big parade could be so big, but that's what happens when the people love you, your numbers go through the roof!"
Let me tell you folks, the love I get from the incredible people out there is just tremendous, believe me. They love me like nobody's ever been loved before, it's really something.
