I’m actually playing through SC2 now with the Real Scale Mod. Love it!

It's kind of a shame that they had to make the small units in SC freaking huge for scale reasons. It really makes you miss out on the size of the larger units.

For example, the battleship is something like 4x the size of a marine in game but has a crew of about 500 in lore.

Zerglings are about 2x the size of a dog, but the ultralisk, which is about the size of an office building, is still only about 5x larger.

I always wanted a StarCraft based movie or show or something. I fucking loved Starcraft growing up and loved the universe

There's some Warhammer 40k shows. Not the same thing, but close enough if you like it.

Man I watched the Amazon version of love death and robots. My god the warhammer one was so good. I've never seen any other warhammer stuff tho. I would watch animated shows of that masterclass if I knew they existed

They exist. They are on their own streaming service, but there's another ways to watch it.

If you get me....

I personally watched Hammer and Bolter, Astartes, Interrogator, Angels of Death, Pariah Nexus and they were all great imo.

Blizzard should have sued GW for copying them.

StarCraft was the best. Easily could have been transferred to a movie. Sequels too!
