Rings of power can be summed as thus
- Galadriel is pretty much the greater evil of the story and at this point only Sauron himself is capable of knocking her down a peg. No, I’m not joking. She has glimmers of self-awareness that flicker and fade just as quickly as the story itself won’t let her be wrong.( She’s pretty much the most empowered Mary Sue in recent history)
- The Harfoots are evil to the core. Let’s leave them to die turned to lets steal their wheels so they’ll absolutely die. Forget orcs, the only reason anyone is alive is because they’re avoiding these murder monsters. Orcs are more sympathetic and they’re the minions of evil.
- Exiling evil herself absolutely was the right call as even when she’s apologizing for manipulating someone. She’s still un-apologetically doing it. “Because I cannot stop”
- Durin’s subplot is the best part of RoP. The actors are having fun with what they’re given.
- The only reason sauron’s acolytes are about is they want to steal the Harfoot’s unabashed evil for themselves and for screen time.
- The Mithril thing.

My recommendation is to stop making these bets with these horrific, torturous outcomes. Get into something safer, like skydiving.

I’ve learned my lesson @Desiderius PriceBut to be fair against a mono-green squirrel spam token generator deck even my Black/White Zombie horde life gain combo stood no chance whatsoever. So many Squirrels.

I shall regale you with my tale of folly. For while Anointed Procession+ Endless Ranks Of The Dead+ Soul Warden= Equals a zombie apocalypse with a lifetotal of easily 100+ I had assumed I was going to win. So I made the bet.
But oh… Oh, how naive I was. For while the combo above is good. It does not compete with Parallel Lives + Doubling Season+ Doubling Season= Eight times the tokens for every token spawned and the Coupe De Grace was Squirrel Mob the size of a death star.
I implore you to hold this wisdom. You see a squirrel on the board. Be prepared to wipe the entire board with a nuke. Or at least something that can destroy enchantments.

I think we all need to agree that Rings of Power counts as a crime against humanity and amazon sued for war crimes. Episode five… here I come.

Think I should protest in defense of the TV? Poor TV, its a slave to the filth that gets fed to it.

@BronxWenchI mean I take comfort in the fact that it will be used by future generations on how not to create an adaptation. Going forward, any author contacted by hollywood for an adaptation of their works must be on set at all times and in the writing room no exceptions. With veto power in their contract no trust whatsoever. When I said I wouldn’t let Hollywood within a light year of my characters. This is the definitive example of what I meant.
@DemonGoddessI shall pray for your TV’s Absolution. miserere nobis

Here’s an existential thought for you.
What if space is so vast because the divine didn’t want the chance for their creations to look upon one another or them?

Should we worry about abominations? Misbegotten beings, Errors, Mistakes and other things out there in the vastness of infinity? Things that shouldn’t be yet somehow cling to animate life?
Lovecraft on full display.

Unfortunately, those abominations are wreaking havoc in Ukraine

Nah, that is all human. Picking the perfect opportunity when all your opponents are too busy pursuing utopian thinking to see reality.

I actually did start a LOTR darkfic half drunk.
One of the most anachronistic things I’ve ever written and it involved gandalf getting knocked out by a amazon prime box hitting him in the head and him tumbling down Orthanc

In honor of that soulless bleak caricature that is the hell I’ve been forced to watch that is rings of power.
I kinda want to do a porn heavy, LOTR dark fanfic safe in the knowledge of no matter what I do.
It will never approach the level of desecration that amazon has inflicted on the rest of us.
The LOTR stories on this site is lightyears better even the bleak gritty ones and for that they all should be commended and certainly celebrated.

I mean it only took them half-way through the first season to get a single decent scene. By the time they end its practically a garuntee they’ll make one good episode.
Where I’m not solidly rooting for Sauron to win.
-
Hmm… Seemed like there was full employment with Sauron, sounds like a jobs man!

Part of me wonders if the only reason the orcs followed him was because of the benefits and orcs where the only ones one who applied because it was in Black Speech.
