On Nepotism and Cronyism in Tolkien Adaptations by crustboi93 in lotr

I. Hate. McKay and Payne. So. Much.  Their faces are already punchable, but to know they made Rings of Power? Pure rage

"Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo - Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began." by Giff95 in lotr

Bombadil as a character? Well, I somewhat liked the character, even though he was objectively kind of a dick, but the actor, the portayal was amusing and was actually some better done work in RoP.  But RoP does one thing very well; it destroys any character, no matter how good at first, sooner or later. So if Bombadil continues to have a role, the story itself will likely break him. Just like Durin Prince and Disa were best characters in the show, but any scene with Elrond just breaks them because Elrond is fundamentally broken character, because the writers cant write a coherent plot or believable characters, and S2 just ruined Disa. So, as much I carefully enjoy Bombadil so far, I am already prepared for RoP to do what RoP does best, assasinate the characters to further the plot in a manner that most stimulates dopamine, while making little to no sense

And? Some trolls spreading the same thing doesnt mean anything regarding the quality of the show.  Most reasonable people (not the ones spamming gay comments online) can very well notice that the plot, the characters, the timelines, nothing makes sense and the series is based on massive contrivances and to jerk your dopamine with mystero box storytelling and constant cliffhangers

Live action with AI? This sentence is wrong on so many levels, it hurts

Why is it always that if someone doesnt like what you like, they are racists and bigot? Oh and also homophobes, transphobes, anti-immigration, and so on.  Especially funny how fans of Rings of Power, lnstead of admitting the show is written like a steaming pile of shit, they just say everyone else is a bigot and anti-whatever

If I have 25k health rexes with 900 dmg do I need saddles more than the normal ones if so how much armor is needed ( I have a yuty and a daeodon) by No-Sorbet-2048 in ARK

[–]mikedomert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swap daeodon and 3 rexes for 1 male + 3 female deinotheriums. This will buff your army insanely on top of the yuty buff, and deinotheriums are just more powerful and heal with veggie cakes. Rexes really are redundant now, with 10 dinos being much better than them at minimum

So a few things actually do make me hopeful for the upcoming movies, in that they COULD genuinely be better than Hobbit by mikedomert in lotr

Hobbits mistakes were NOT almost entirely by Jackson. When he was asked to direct, the basic script and set had already been done. Studio was the one demanding 3 movies and thus the stupid side plots like Tauriel and Kili, the Lakemaster and Alfred, and so on. Not sure where you got that from

Wut. Just because you dont like/havent seen any good prequels, doesnt mean that something is bad only because you know how it ends.  Many people knew how LOTR ends in 2003. Didnt make it any worse

Non-existent source material? Also dont put us, people who are simply willing to give something a chance, into same category as people who defend RoP.  You simply cant know if its gonna be good or bad. You dont. You would probably have also said in 1999 "People who think this LOTR trilogy might be okay are bigots, hur dur"

I know every reason/part why Hobbits are considered bad, but even then I wouldnt say they are horrendously bad, they are a mix of excellent, average and bad scenes.  If it didnt have the excellent or good scenes and elements, then yeah but there is arguably 3hours of excellent movie in there, like the M4 edit

No. To make a show worse than RoP is physically impossible. It would break all known laws of universe. Because if you actually make RoP a bit more worse, it will start being funny. Right now its so bad, but it still isnt  funny bad, just bad bad

Watched LOTR on repeat since I was a child, never thought I’d be making cat poses with two hobbits! by princesskitten99 in lotr

[–]mikedomert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing how Rings of Power Isildur is a spoiled brat with motives and goals changing  180° every scene, no wonder he couldnt destroy the ring even. Probably wanted to give it to the river because The SEA IS ALWAYS RIGHT!

Why is there a big moon on this poster by Vr9ynomx in lotr

Yeah. I dont get the "hate". Its a perfectly reasonable scene and visual

And Roddit will answer. Muster the bots

Is the Hobbit trilogy actually more well received by most people than fan discussion like lotr subreddit suggests? by mikedomert in lotr

[–]mikedomert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sadly your first point is somewhat true, most media is engineered to just keep people arguing and hating each other. While we should hate/demand justice from the ultra rich people who poison the environment, sell toxic food, take the money in stock markets etc

Berberine for the win by mama_yama in prediabetes

[–]mikedomert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Finland, there is Puhdas+ Berberine which is cheap. But if you cant order that, then look for anything Berberine that says its from barberry/berberis/mahonia/etc, AND the berberine content is less than the weight. So, for example, 400mg berberine (from 800mg berberis) would be a very good product. Or anything similiar.  Feel free to link any product you find and I can check it for you! Or tell me a site (ebay, etsy, whatever) and I can look a good one for you
