    As a woman, I honestly find it more insulting when writers make the women 'strong and flawless' and all of the men beta and pathetic, because to me it just looks like they're saying 'we can only make women look strong when they're standing next to a weak, totally useless man'.

I would've been insulted if I were a woman because they think you're so pathetic that if they show you as anything less than perfect you'll break down, cry and will never be able to amount to anything ever in your life, because you're also such an NPC that you can only be something if you've seen another woman do it in film

    YES. there have been many memorable women in movies who kicked ass and didnt require the supporting cast to be useless/weak/stupid. they played to their strengths... Sarah Conners determination and Ripleys intelligence and resourcefulness spring immediately to mind. its a hollow victory when you cheat to win and thats what todays writing is basically doing with their female characters.

    The biggest insult about the quote, "it felt natural to us that the script should reflect the world we live in today," is that Tolkien was a veteran of the hellish trenches of WWI. The world he lived in was bleak, industrial, cruel, and deadly. The story and world he made was about the good in people burning brightly against the darkness that threatens to extinguish it. It is where noble souls struggle against impossible odds and, through the triumph of valor, selflessness, and comraderie, push the darkness that threatens the world back. It ultimately does not defeat darkness forever, but we get this beautiful view into a world that could be. Middle earth was never a reflection of the "modern world" but rather an escape from it.

    If I recall correctly, he enlisted with his friends and got typhoid so he had to go back home. When the war ended he'd found out that each and every person he'd fought with had died. He wrote his stories not to justify war, but to show its true cruelty and unnecessarily high death tolls. It's a rotten shame that people are interpreting his stories differently now. And the amount of gore they put into TRoP was unrealistic. People don't bleed like that, ask Christopher Lee, the actor for Saruman. Stupid corrupt Amazon and their immediate purchase of Middle-Earth's rights instantly after Christopher Tolkien's death is also incredibly angering. They were waiting for him to die, and weren't in the slightest sorrowful that the successor to arguably the greatest fantasy author of all time had passed. It was a cash grab to them from the beginning, and ended up being a pocket-emptying failure.

    And speaking of those rings: What kind of a forging job is that? Did they actually want to insinuate that the mithril pushes the properties of gold and silver over that of pure mithril? Because those tiny three rings they ended up with out of material saving worries look like they could have just made them out of the pure mithril nugget they had. No need to melt an elven dagger and its whole not-gold-or-silver blade into it that they surely had to separate out again somehow. It's just one more of so many careless writing/directing decisions. "Don't think about it" is that show's mantra, and that's obviously bad.

    @@Dowlphin Actually for a company that threw billions at attempting to make anything near what Jackson did, using Mithril as some kind of magical element is not only lazy writing it is frighteningly accurate for them as a group. They have absolutely no ability to understand that Tolkien had written that the 3 rings were imbued with the power of their creators. Elvish magic as well as their characteristic soulful love of nature, and the world itself, and therefore the main power of preserving life, nature, and preservation of the world itself, and holding back that which attempts to destroy nature, and the natural world in favor of everything unnatural and dare I say monetary. The fact that they try to use Mithril as some kind of replacement for the elvish magic, and elvish spiritual connection to nature by using some trumped up (see the irony in the term "trumped" ) story line that Mithril wasn't a "naturally" occurring metal with it's own characteristics that was "found" by the dwarves, but was somehow imbued with it's existence from the trees of light is just a really poor attempt at creative writing. === Because the trees existed in Valinor, the undying lands...NOT in Middle-Earth...Mithril for one would NOT have come to existance in Middle Earth the way they try to write it did...it just isn't in any way good writing...it is so lazy, and "short cut" like writing it is SICKENING!

    @@vaultboy4710 Ok I’m sorry but the US wouldn’t have lost 1 on 1. The Nazis were very powerful, but they had a whole host of issues like a lack of natural resources and having Hitler be involved in making military decisions. The Nazis also lacked the industrial output to keep up with the US. Logistics wins wars and we had the ability to produce so many weapons that if a tank or truck was destroyed, we’d just roll in a new one instead of trying to repair it. This is in comparison to the Nazis who still had to use horses as they lacked motor vehicles. With the technological advantage standpoint that the Nazis had, most of it could be summed up with too little too late. While they made many advancements, with the first serviceable jet aircraft, first assault rifle, first cruise missiles, they could not produce them in enough numbers to have an effect on the war. Along with this, the cruise missiles were not employed effectively and were used in a terror campaign instead of against actual military targets. Back to Hitler’s incompetence, his obsession with wunderwaffe took away precious manufacturing capabilities from things that were proven and easier to make. He also spent a ton of resources to ramp up the speed of the Holocaust, prioritizing his terrible genocide over the war effort. All in all I feel like I wrote too much here, but even if the Nazis weren’t essentially shooting themselves in the foot, the amount of weapons produced by America and the amount of soldiers America could bring to the fight, along with the geographical safety of being an oceans length away from their enemy made it so Germany was almost guaranteed to lose. Also if you want to say that the Soviets were the ones who beat the Nazis, American industry produced almost all of the supply trucks the Soviets had throughout the war. Again, logistics win wars.

    You look at Galadriel from the Peter Jackson films and even though she has little screen time when she is there you can tell she is powerful, wise, and menacing. Her personality shows she is not someone to be messed with but is also beautiful and feminine. In the books she is the oldest and wisest of all the elves and still wants the Ring for herself. In this show, she is just a boss lady who is a dick. She hates everyone and they put up with her shit. If I was the diverse Queen lady I would have allied myself with Sauron to kill her and take her kingdom. Thats how politics works in real life. You talk down to a monarch they will find other monarchs to fight against you and kill you.

The biggest question that it left me with was how and when did the elves discover the technology to have buzz-cuts.

The reason why I said that the biggest question the first episode left me with was the haircut is because it illustrated the lack of my interest in the rest of the story. I remember watching "The Fellowship of the Ring" all those years ago, the magic, the beauty, the mystery, the adventure that that movie had to offer.

    As one of the most persecuted demographics of the current year, aka *'straight white male'* I must say one thing about the _"new"_ Galadriel. 😒 And that is that she is very, very, veeeeeery toxic and hysterical. And this is a turn-off even if you have pointy ears. 🤗 My first Vanilla fantasyrace too are pretty much Elves and especially because they tend to embody characteristics I do *NOT* see predominant more in Humans.🤫 Like; Mostly wise, calm, in control of their emotions and inspiring. Compelling people. Which was very important for me to see especially for a world like the one Tolkien had created. But this woke Galadriel version is just the complete opposite of it. 🙄 Her personality is as forced as her script, how she hysterically forces herself through life. Like an adult manbaby to which getting older almost equals getting more immature against instead of growing up. 🤨 She is not inspiring but just disgusting and embodies charactertraits that I have seen in myself when I had viewed myself as much less mature and wise. 🤔 This is horrible!! 🤢 And just absolutely demoralizing! If I would be myself as a Human in middle-earth with around the same level of insight and understanding that I have in our own reality right now and would be confronted as part of the fellowship with either the *ORIGINAL* Galadriel 😘 and this new sh°tshow ripoff of her, then this would make all the difference in my motivations to even start the journey. Cause I am approaching my late 30's now and I am just sick and tired of disrespectful people who seem like they are not even trying to actually understand the people around them. 😐 Just barking orders, forcing expectations on others and making pathetic visages of contempt and anger when they something they don't like. Just pathetic. I have so often just abandonded people who did not resonated with me because of such traits. 😮‍💨 And now _"those"_ types are taking over cinema. Oh hell no!! 🤮

    Also don't forget Galadriel threatened that corrupted elf leader that she would kill every single one of his children, make him watch, and kill him last so he would die with his kind. That elf then says her search for Sauron should have ended when she looked in the mirror. I'm kind of with the corrupted elf here and that Galadriel is pure evil. I don't know how they made their hero so dislikable to the point they would threaten genocide. It's incompetence on a scale I've never seen before.

    Necessary evil is a great idea if done right. And there certainly some in real life examples of that, like Abu Deraa ( here’s a Wikipedia page if anyone‘s interested en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Deraa ), he’s essentially a cold blooded “retaliatory” murderer and criminal. One time there was a corrupt official who’s known to have helped terrorist but nothing could be done to him because of corruption. He put a reward in the head of Abu Deraa. After some time, that politician’s son’s head was delivered to him with a message “drop off the reward or your next son is next” So, such characters have a root in real life. But the one from Rings of Fire is just a terrible execution of that idea.

    Daily reminder that canon-wise, the Numenoreans are 7-8 feet tall super-men who lived for centuries at a time, with enough physical strength as to be able to make use solid steel longbows on horseback, let alone on foot. Even when they got morally corrupted they were still the most powerful mortals in existence. A single numenorean could probably take out at least 50 orcs before going down. And here we have scrawny teenage boys wearing armor ordered from Wish, when they should be built like a Greek statue (see the "Riace bronzes" for what they would probably all look like). I guess showing the Numenoreans as they were described would be thought of as to idolize "toxic masculinity".
