@KaylaAncrum The guy who thinks he’s funny but his entire repertoire is bad (not so bad they’re funny, just bad) puns and never letting go of that one joke that was actually funny that one time years ago.
I feel like western fantasy storytelling’s tendency to tell stories based on this “longing for a lost golden age” is rooted in the West’s postwar loss of empires. But I don’t know enough about prewar fantasy storytelling or fantasy in other cultures to be sure. Thoughts?
I just think you could have made Galadriel so much cooler, wiser, and badass than they did. I feel like they did the opposite of making her an empowering female character.
My biggest problem with it is that Galadriel is treated like a spoiled child. She walked among the Valar, and Gil-galad treats her like she needs to be put down for a nap. It feels like they greatly diminished her character. Plus everyone feels incompetent instead of heroic.
I mostly like season 1, but if it’s going to take 5 seasons for the Noldor to pull their heads out of their asses, no thanks.
And no, it’s not because of Peter Jackson not doing it. I had my share of gripes with his movies too.
@Srirachachau Sure he does. He created a series we were reading with an understanding that he would be providing more, continues to say he will provide more, then doesn’t follow through. Does that mean he should be chained to his computer? No. But that also means he’s going to…
@BeyondThePoster @JeanGreige The real privilege is fighting so hard to preserve the same status quo that democrats have been putting us in since at least the 80s.
I just started to imagine if they had gotten Boots Riley to be the one to make the Borderlands movie, and now I’m so mad that he didn’t, and outraged at the studios who (if he had) would never let it see the light of day.
I really think the way Darth Zipperhead and Kyle Ren’s styles reflect this frantic brutality is seriously underrated. It’s not just that their styles are cool, it’s that their styles embody the idea of the dark side being emotional, passionate, oft seemingly unrefined…
@venusianvampire@JeanGreige “Hey man, I’m just exercising my unalienable first amendment right. I once gave the bag boy with Down’s Syndrome at my local store a high five, so clearly I’m not ableist or anything. Even tipped him some bubble gum. So it’s cool for me to say it, yeah?”
@KarlMaxxed @prttybby999 lol Harris isn’t gonna save queer folks just like Biden didn’t. They don’t give a shit about us. Stop pretending like they do. They’ll dump us the second we’re no longer politically expedient (like they’ve already been doing).
@hippiechicken12 @blockhim2024 @kkristenrob Walk in the direction that goes against the flow of traffic (which is technically what you’re supposed to do anyway). Or date in Europe. 🤷
@Nyct0phil3_x If I recall right, there are some cultures that do similar things where they keep the baby isolated for a period of time. Not sure about going out, but like they don’t allow visitors during that time.
