So she tries to go into finish the job and that's when she finds him cowering infront of Bronwyn and Theo throws himself over Arondir's chest and screams "DON'T KILL MY DADDY!!! DON'T KILL MY DADDY!!!". Then you get that fucken *awesome* emotional scene where Nori Brandyfoot and Randalf the wizard show up and Nori's like "you have to show them the truth, tell them!" and Randalf the wizard peels the flesh from his arm and shows Arondir that he is actually A BALROG!!! and it's sooooo fucken cool dude!! i mean, we already knew he was a balrog, but the special effects were *so* awesome!!

Incidentally, I wish to hell somebody would call out Amazon on this BS talking point about "making Lord of the Rings look like the real world." First of all, 99% of the places on this planet are NOT cities, and outside of cities (whether youre in Hampshire, New Hampshire, Harbin or Hungary), most places have a pretty monochrome population. More importantly, though, the last time I checked, Asians made up 60% of the population of this "real world" you talk about. I dont see a single goddamned Asian in this entire sad kabuki farce!

DM: "I don't care, i wanna get to the next scene." *snaps finger* Dialogue: P1: "Well, we are accountants and it guys, not trained actors with a script, what do you think that you will get?" (ironically, better dialogue than from the show) DM: "That will do, i wanna get to the next scene." Consistency of characters: P1: "That is quite odd for your characters description." P2: "I don't care, i want that +4 Longsword of P3nis enlargement" DM: "And i wanna get to the next scene, so idc." Inexplicable happenings: Galadriel enters the room, she rolls on intelligence, a natural 20, she knows that that wall is just ice and we can break through P1: "How did she know?" DM: "I just told you, she succeded on her intelligence roll." P1: "But..." DM: "I DON'T CARE, i wanna get to the next scene". All in all the scenes feel disconnected. Everything that is said and done is just so to make the next 2 minutes of screentime happen.

I've seen shills go "Killing people in the MCU is perfectly fine but twerking not ok". I'm paraphrasing but you get the point.

Yeah it just validates our points that the show is trashfire. And Rings of Power/Cringe will fail and Amazon will do whatever it can to make it look like a victory.

It's real simple. Tolkien was a Catholic. Galadriel was based on the Virgin Mary; a woman well venerated by a good portion of the world, and who never had to be a warrior, or faux man, to earn our reverence. She epitomized the feminine role, which is as important and necessary as the masculine role. What Mary accomplished, as with most Saints, required her to put aside her petty ego, and live for something far larger than herself. That is something completely lost on the left, who feel entitled to everything as a right, and have no corresponding sense of responsibility. The main reason they want to interject themselves into masculine roles, is to continue to blur the lines on the male and female roles, and destroy the family role in general, but more specifically in those cultures where the family unit has proven to be the bulwark against tyranny; Christian Europe & those Western nations that arose from that tradition. The more they can decimate our demographics the more they can justify importing a profligate, and licentious new constituency that will eagerly vote for more and more handouts in exchange for abdicating any desire to keep the ruling powers in check. A docile citizenry easily lead around by their base impulses is the ultimate end goal of all of this Marxist infiltration.

Saruman in Scouring of the Shire: All of the Hobbits love the new direction I’ve taken the Shire. I haven’t heard one bad review!

[@WraithCustomsFirearms]

It began with the forging of the Great Films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings, Rights were granted to Jackson, Great Miner and Craftsman of the Mountain of Lore. And nine, nine Hours were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire Quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another Show was made. In the Land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret, a Master Flop. And in this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all Films. One show to ruin them all. For in the darkness fell Tolkien’s star, in Amazon, where no bathrooms breaks are.

Instead of having Galadriel jump off the boat in the middle of the ocean, they could have had everyone boarding the boat and they need to relinquish their armor and weapons before getting on. Her armor gets removed, but as she goes to board and one of the boatmen puts out his hand to receive her dagger, she looks down at it, has her inner monologue, holds onto the dagger, turns, and leaves. There, same basic scene but Galadriel isn't stuck in the middle of the freaking ocean. -_-

Funny thing is in the German translation they fixed several dialogs so they would make more sense and as Germany has one of the best syncro industry the voice actors are so much better than the real actors it is baffling. One example of the top of my head would be as Elrond lies in the tree scribbling the kings speech and the other elvs come and talk about random stuff at first and then mention that Galadriell has returned so his reaction of "Why didn't you tell me that?" made a little more sense. Not very much, as they are still tellig him right in that moment, but at least they tried to safe it somewhat.

@@atomicdancer Could well be yes. The best story about our translators is about all the Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill movies, the German version is WAY funnier than the original Italien one as many jokes got inserted when the actors faces are not visible. These jokes became so popular that the German translation got retranslated into Italien and other languages and are now widly regarded as the besster ones.
