As a 40k fan I'm glad it happened. He'll be the angry nerd keeping all the writers(on the 40k show/shows) from trying to completely change all the lore just because reasons.
I remember there was a PR campaign done against Henry about how he was a bully on set and he was making changes to the script causing the show to be bad then the creators of the show made 2 spin offs without Henry and both of them flopped critically and commercially.
To be fair, he was a bully on set, but not because he wanted to bully people.
He believed in the original story and it's source material while the writers and producers thought they knew better than him.
He tried to stop them from destroying the show, but as just an actor he had next to no authority but to finish his contract or pay for breaching it and possibly whatever the rest for the show was.
One of the main reasons he made sure he was a producer on the 40k stuff was to prevent it from happening again. In addition with Natalie Viscuso(his girlfriend and mother of his child) also being an executive producer as well as him he has learned about making sure he can get enough control to keep the source material in mind.
Don't get me wrong it looks very controlling, but this is his pet project and he doesn't want to get anything with it wrong.
Don't care. He would probably reluctantly agree. When people openly don't care about the source material you got to do what you got to do to get them to listen. They refused so he left.
I’m not sure HC would agree to being a Bully, maybe you have a different definition than the rest of the world or never met a real bully. Speaking up for yourself or the project you are passionate about might be considered assertive but not bullying behaviour.
