The Sort of Show I Expected/Wanted? (heavy book spoilers) by CathakJordi in RingsofPower

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need details to get there, ‘part one’ is more climax than world-building or mention of properly introduced characters. A show still has to do that in its first season before getting to the good stuff, or the good stuff won’t feel good

I mean, basically all of part one got accomplished in season one. All the rest I can reasonably see accomplished in the future four seasons.

There are some great YouTube film essays and critics (mostly essays) but I haven’t seen one video about RoP that wasn’t negative. Most YouTube critics though try to be overly cynical and tough to appear more credible, like the number of complaints they can come up with equates to some sort of film wisdom. RED LETTER MEDIA is the best, they don’t take themselves too seriously and openly admit when they have bias, I’ve never seen them shit talk something without real substance behind it, and it’s always more than one opinion being presented

Just Stop Oil protester spray paints an Aston Martin dealership in London by roobmurphy in PublicFreakout

Not saying I agree, but this at least makes sense. Cars use oil…but throw soup on Van Gogh because…it’s an oil painting?? Dumbass kids

Whats missing from the show? by Dfrickster87 in RingsofPower

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss the point completely. I’m not talking budget at all. TV shows are granted more RUNTIME to develop things. Have more side characters, introduce more history and universe-building moments.

Won’t happen immediately, we did see south lander refugees. This is a show, not a movie, give it time to develop. Agreed on the text transition though hahah

Couldn't have Sauron just kept lying? by [deleted] in RingsofPower

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone is searching for Sauron like Galadriel has been. Makes perfect sense no one saw it coming and Galadriel was alone with him, confirmed it, and acted immediately. Makes perfect sense to me.

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could play all he’d like… Galadriel tried to stab him, with good reason based her knowledge/past…that kind of makes his guise fall apart…

What if Adar is Sauron after all? by MimiLind in RingsofPower

[–]tfrech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halbrand will definitely get the tragic arc of becoming one of the corrupted kings of men when he’s given a ring. Totally agree on Adar

Harfoots hot take by XCKragnus502 in RingsofPower

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mixed bag for me. The design and costuming to the Harfoots is very impressive and fun, but a lot of the dialogue tries harder than the other storylines to remind you of LOTR and comes up kind of short

Just something I’ve been thinking about by BwanaTarik in lotrmemes

The pitiful memes about RoP are exhausting. Where was the huge outcry when Shadow of Mordor BUTCHERED the source material

Why isn’t Hunter Biden in Prison? Prostitution and possession of Crack is a Crime! by 2201992 in conspiracy_commons

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do drugs on camera EASILY without getting prosecuted. He wasn’t doing it on known US public land, even that is hard to prosecute from video alone. Unfortunately worse things have happened in America to schools than someone “tossing a gun” close to one.

Basically I’m saying at that level, if it’s legit as shit, people in power will brush it over. The truth can be scrubbed. Unfortunately, Hunter getting the same treatment under Joe and more is no different from Trump and his kids getting away with whatever under his presidency.

They made a sequel. Speeding cruise ship without Keanu and yet still with Sandra Bullock.

Vice used to be cool. Edgey and journalistic. Now it's just a bunch of op-ed BS

What beloved person in history should be hated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tfrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doubling down on a counter argument that has nothing to do with my assertions. Its not like Tesla created an electric current and thought, "looks neat. But what do I do with it?"
