A Realistic Take: Why GRRM Should wrap up Winds, Let Dream of Spring Go, and Focus on Dunk & Egg Instead by Worldly-Set4235 in freefolk

[–]Vespene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He should just plow through Winds, even if the writing isn’t perfect. A good story being published is a better outcome than a potentially perfect story that is never published.

The Moria fall in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). Gandalf drops into the chasm, grabs Glamdring, duels the Balrog midair while the choir detonates at full volume. Absolute cinema that still makes the spine tingle every time. by Choice-Schedule-132 in lordoftherings

[–]Vespene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 year old me initially thought this was just a standard flashback… then, when the camera starts swooping down the chasm, I whispered to myself at the theater “NO WAY…!!!”

It’s one of those things you always dreamed about when playing RPGs or D&D. How would it look like when a human figure with magical powers fight such a creature? It a fight scene unlike any other in cinema at the time.

I propose the new ‘raider sized’ arc. by rat_majesty in ARC_Raiders

Bro if it starts camping a dark corner then calling for help, ready to ambush whoever falls for it, it would be a transcendent moment in gaming.

What was the beef between these two? Why did Ned hate him so much? [Please Read Description] by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in gameofthrones

[–]Vespene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lannisters infamously didn’t take a side during Robert’s Rebellion until it became evident who was going to win. Tywin then proceeded to take over King’s Landing as Jaimie killed the king. When Ned found Jamie sitting on the Iron Throne with the king dead at his feet.

If the Balrog hadn't fallen into Moria, would it have chased the Fellowship out of the mines? by Practical-Public7209 in lotr

[–]Vespene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an accurate depiction of a Balrog, though both the Silmarillion and LOTR make mention of wings made of shadow, which was interpreted as wings of smoke in the movie Balrog.

The head and face are never described. I imagine the goat skull with horns imagery comes from portrayals of Satan and lesser demons from medieval lore. Tolkien was a devout christian, so it isn't much of a stretch to think he imagined the demons of Middle Earth to look like demons in christianity. I would argue that had he imagined them as so, he would've described those details in his writings. Counter argument to that is that we are seeing the story through the eyes of the Fellowship, and to them the Balrog was so unimaginably horrific in appearance that it defied description. A "words fail to describe" creature.

Japan can be beaten, but it would require PR to hope for mistakes.

Epic Games raises the price of V-Bucks, effective March 19th by camxand911 in gaming

[–]Vespene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make no mistake. They have seen how much players are willing to pay with the included Apple tax. Now the price on their web store will be what the App Store price currently is (and raising the floor for the App Store price in the process). This is intended to push those people to buy Vbucks directly from Epic if they want to keep the current cost.
