I got called an old fogey today And this was my response.

"Come dance in the rain!" Says the braggart to the fool. "Come dance in the rain tis only water." And yet the fool remains indoors. "Yet, water isn't yellow." States the fool to the braggart. Angered by this observation for to the braggart water from above had always been yellow. "You'll miss your chance to dance in the rain and then you'll be sorry." For why would an old fogy not want to dance in the rain? It was warm never realizing rain is supposed to be cold. So the fool responds "And I shall indeed dance in the rain." As the fool bolts the door. The braggart sighs in dismay why won't the fool come out to play? Lifts his head up and catches the last few bitter drops on his tongue before he departs to look for an axe. Somewhere above the sound of thunder that was actually a zipper resounds. The giant departs contented for having "watered" the amusing little creatures below and sees the clouds rolling in. "Its going to rain." Says the giant and then it does and the fool unbolts the door and dances in the cool refreshing rain that the braggart misses entirely for he is off looking for an axe to break down fool's door.

Welp, Episode eight managed to somehow find the subbasement to rock bottom. Dear god where do I start?

It is a banal anathemic sacrilege and outright vitriolic and visceral sustained blasphemic abortion to Tolkien’s works. Not only is tone deaf in a way that only a soulless and hellbound corporation could manage. It goes out of its way to be Anti-Tolkien even at its basest level.

Corporate Anti-fiction as its final shuddering evolution on par with the erecting of the tower of babel itself.  Not only does it absolutely and resolutely undermine LOTR in its entirety it precludes the conceptual possibility of LOTR altogether.

it has to be AU at best.

The least of its crimes against nature and sin is it refutes the concept of goodness itself. Morgoth won the war is the best way to describe it. Eru Ilúvatar could never have created something this vacuous and empty.

Galadriel-Sue is the brand new face of a blackhole mary sue. Reality is her bitch and even the plot gives way to her mercurial wants.

Non-negotiable Ray Palpatine doesn’t even come close to this new found level of mary sue. This utterly insulting caricature. She is the left hand and right hand of Morgoth at the same time. Fk it Galadriel is what a successful Morgoth would look like.

Not only is she the instigator of everything in RoP. She’s The Dark Lord of the entire franchise by proxy who not only is forgiven but gets to escape karma entirely and go to the Undying Lands.  Sauron himself is her victim. Let that sink in.

I joked in an earlier post that sauron was the only one that could topple her. Nope, she took an erupting volcano to the face. Her plot armor is so heavily reinforced and thick I don’t even think the Death Star could touch her.

Sauron is exactly who you think it is and he is the doomed hero of the series.

This finale is what the death of fiction looks like.

If a corporation and or hollywood so much as even looks in your direction. Rings of Power is the absolute and resolute lasting example of what they’ll do to your beloved works if given even half a chance. Have a lawyer on hand and a box of pampers cause there’d be no possibility of even a bathroom break for the author on set who’d actively have to have a fricking loaded gun on the desk in front of everyone in the writing room at all times.

Rings of Power -10/10 Actively avoid at all costs with the acknowledgment that anyone praising it is actively trying to gaslight you.

Episode eight here I come.

A finale shouldn’t cause a pit of dread.

I feel like Dobby since I only have to stomach episode 8 and I can leave RoP behind for good thank god.
