i reckon when (if) the primarchs return they'll take one look at what the imperium's become and think "sod this, this is not  what daddy was building!", and then disappear again.

but seriously, what could they possibly do to save the imperium? regardless of what they may bring back with them the imperium's problems are way too vast for a handful of individuals, however exceptional those individuals are, to surmount.

as i see it the only thing that can raise the imperium's chances of survival is the emperor himself but personally i don't think a cure for his condition exists, and once he's dead he stays dead.

the one thing that irks me most about the imperium of man is the self rightous arrogance that stems from their belief in their own species' superiority. now the emperor didn't create that notion but he sure as hell endorsed it and the worst atrocities in our little world's history all come from the idea of "my people are better than your people", and for this alone i believe the imperium deserves extinction!

now the eldar also suffer from the 'arrogance of superiority' complex, but they're not in the same league of planet raping warmongers as the imperium, and they are dying species anyway.
