To all who follow me for my #RingsofPower content, you might not now that my primary passion is the original LotR trilogy: I've analysed every track of the score, including themes, lyrics and translations. Go check them out if you're interested!

@miguelaraizac I made a 1-hour video about Hans Zimmer's music for these movies, but it got copyright claimed by Warner Brothers 😭

@naetursol @Bandegoris Probably this https://t.co/9O5wKgWCzn

@jackremmington Jag antar att det finns en cynisk anledning, som att det ska höja engagemanget, men uppriktigt talat är den genomsnittliga utländska tweeten förvånandsvärt mycket bättre än de vanliga.

@Sideways440 In case I haven't missed the train, I gotta ask how you dodge copyright claims. I've been working on a Hunchback analysis video too (mindblown about the Someday retrogrades btw), but the claims are so strict I've considered doing the whole thing without footage or audio.

@GKMarino My condolences. He sounds like a really cool dad.

The way I knew immediately it was I Don't Want It. Probably my favorite guitar solo of all time.

heard an achingly beautiful song on the radio so I looked it up and it was by Ween

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

@FilmScoreMoreYT Sad to hear that. I had a similar case of a Dune score analysis gearing up to be my most successful yet only to be nipped in the bud after 3 days. Copyright claims are truly the plague on detailed and thoughtful analyses.

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

@SoundCirclet No worries, I'll see if I can back to the project once I've finished with my current one. And yes, Messages are practically useless at this point.

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

@GKMarino @GreenT128 Fantastic interview! Fun to hear even more crazy anecdotes like the Set theory origin of the main GoW theme.

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

I've been thinking about making lyrics videos like last time, but honestly, @e51dc715a5's already got that covered. Check out their stuff if you wanna dive deeper into the lyrics

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

I know I didn't really catch the moment to delve deep into this score when it came out, but reading these insights so many months later, I'm still completely enthralled. It's seriously such a milestone of modern television.

@gilestelscanvas As this video points out: In The Godfather II, the old Marlon Brando let Robert de Niro play a young Vito Corleone, passing the torch to the next generation. In The Irishman, the old Robert de Niro was digitally de-aged, allowing no new blood in the genre. https://t.co/Ka267rQlw4

However, now this tidbit - that some of the listed instances wasn't even intentional - raises a new mystery: which? I'd wager the one in My Name Is Not Halbrand wasn't intended, though it's really similar to the one in The Battle for Eregion Begins, which probably was. Speculate!

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

Today I woke up to 2 different people letting me know my #RingsOfPower theory had been confirmed: the new mystery theme is indeed about "hope"!

Here's the thread, for context: https://t.co/jir31aAGfN

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

Now that #RingsOfPower Season 2 has concluded, it's time to once and for all determine what this mystery theme is about.

[Monoverantus @AMoverus]

@SandyofCthulhu Rome Total War taught me that the quickest way to deal with public restlessness is to abandon the city, waiting for a civil revolt and then massacre them (handily fixing overpopulation too). For some reason it's not "violent" if it's just numbers on a screen.
