Stories are in fact not just good, but -better-, when the antagonists present a credible but still defeatable threat?

Bizarrely, I have heard rumored whispers that 40K is moving forward and letting a slight bit of hope back in. We'll see if they don't drop -that- ball.

Of course, this is UF in a nutshell, where wronged protagonists the multiverse over come for justice, but still. It's nice to see it spelled out like that.

Authors of our fates
Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
