Ok, we can go with that... they don't bring swords into the inn because it's uncivilized.

At that point, you can have Aragorn toss them some beater blades, and they swap out at some point. Merry and Pippin at least, maybe after Boromir trains them up. He and Aragorn look at what they have tucked in their packs, and say "hey, these are nicer. Use them instead".

Into the Old Forest --- > Old Man Willow ---> Tom Bombadil ---> The Barrow Downs ---> Bree and the Prancing Pony.

The Hobbits lose the ponies ( and most of their gear) when the Nazgul attack, thanks to the swarthy evil humans who try to sabotage their escape.

So they'd have to go fetch the swords after meeting Strider but not secure anything else.

Maybe after drawing a stool and a lamp, Strider could ask them if they have any proper weapons, and the Hobbits then decide that maybe the ancient blades would suit them better at their side.

Remember, Sting is with Bilbo, but the other blades that Merry ( specifically) and Pippin have are of ancient Numenorian make, specifically made with enchantments to fight the evil of the Witch King, from ages before.

I was kind of hoping we would get this slop just to see how bad it could be. I am disappoint.

Guaranteed to be the most diversely diverse diversity in film history. The amount of strength obtained by this diversity would have overwhelmed even the Five Armies

The sheer number of genders we would have seen would have generated enough ESG to float nations.

The pansexual throuple between an emasculated Aragorn, transgender lesbian Galadriel, and an austere Orc scholar will go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities in all of Middle Earth adaptations.

This is the sad part. The guy truly knows the material but he will fall into this Hollywood trap even if he doesn't want to. For this to be successful he needs to channel Henry Cavil

Nothing is more important to Stephen Colbert than his progressive ideology.

Everything he does, says, or produces must be directly in service of it.

All other aspects are expendable.

He is catholic, only in ways that serve the progressive worldview

He is a comic, only in ways that serve the progressive worldview

Etc.

Evidence for skeptics:

Not sure why you're still complaining about a thing you don't want that won't exist, but providing evidence of a false dichotomy in your framing/prompting of a chat bot isn't evidence that wins arguments. Even imaginary ones.

Same. His over the top 'clean cut conservative American' appearance was always nothing but a skin suit for his unfunny sarcastic brand of 'humor'.


His act was plain as day to see, yet sadly too many bought into it. He was mocking the very folks who thought he was funny.

What a shame. I was looking forward to Leslie Jones as Frodo.

It is definitely evidence. Maybe you find it uncompelling, and that is fine. It is not, by itself, compelling evidence. It is, however, a point on the graph.

If you can provide me an instance of Stephen Colbert criticizing progressive ideology due to his Catholic faith, I will concede.
