You make a lot of unsupported assumptions, accusations and you lie a lot. But that’s not news to the board though it maybe news to you. Glad I could help.

She isn’t “now a Filipino” anyway because all these stories originate from a place and carry themes from those cultures so changing the ethnicity based on leftist corporate ideology makes the entire story nonsensical. People like Sammy only know what Twitter tells them so they have no concept of things like this.

Had a good discussion going too


I wish those that want to fight about the show would just start a thread dedicated to that aspect. There seems to be plenty of people wanting to talk about Tolkien but the discussion gets lost in the noise.

Ditto

This thread is an abomination and I can't believe mods let it go this far. I just want to have thoughtful discussion on the show itself not the same arguments week after week

As your avatar states. OH INDEED. The wire is the goat

We also wish those woke POS wouldn’t have waited till tolkien died to shite on his work and literature. I guess we all can’t get what we really want

I'm always amused at how people think that Peter Jackson was the first person to make movies out of The Hobbit and LOTR.


The four hobbits




Bilbo Baggins




Sam Gamgee




Three different images of Aragorn, because just one isn't enough badness







Oh no! Looks like Bakshi made Aragorn into a full-blooded Sioux! Who knew that there was such wokeism in 1978?

It's a couple dudes who intentionally spam the board with hate posts any time people try to discuss the show. I know a few boards have a "block that poster" option, where you just wouldn't see posts made by that person.
If we could block 2 people in particular, this thread would be less than half the length, and far more coherent and user friendly.

I don't think Halbrand is Sauron, but I think he has been around him. I think he originally worked with Sauron in the South, which is where he learned his smithing skills. Sort of the "proto-Celebrimbor", Sauron did basically the same thing in what could be a test-run...
come in promising to teach and help make wonderful things, and then corrupt the process and take it (and the land) over. Remember, he said both that Orcs drove him out of his lands, and that he isn't the hero Galadriel is trying to make him out to be. I think he figured out what was going on, and realized he sold his people out to Sauron (although he may not realize exactly WHO it was).

I think he will stick with Galadriel, and when they go to Eregion, he will tip her off that all is not right. Maybe recognize the ever-so-helpful and knowledgeable stranger working with Celebrimbor, or perhaps some of the techniques.

That's why I don't think Arondir makes it out, I think Galadriel's going to be viewed as a bit of a nut and a count and thus ignored; and Halbrand is just some 'low Man' with a grudge against the Elves. Arondir showing up and telling them about the resurgence of the Orcs (with a plan and some non-Orc leadership) would raise a ton of red flags.
Maybe Arondir shows up after the 7 and the 9 are forged, causing Celebrimbor to hedge his bets and make the 3 in secrecy... perhaps with Halbrand's help?
*Don't laugh at that offhand, if Halbrand was involved in forging that sword, he'd have some insight to Sauron's craft. Together with Celebrimbor, he might be able to show how to take the governor off the Rings, to maximize their power. And he wouldn't be doing things that would tie them into the One, as Sauron did with the others.

That could be why the 3 are more powerful than the 7 and 9, which in theory they shouldn't be (Sauron, who knew the craft, collaborated on those. They SHOULD be stronger than what Celebrimbor made on his own... unless he purposefully made them weaker).

NVm that Tolkien talked about his “cash or art” policy with Christopher in letter.

He basically either wanted creative control or just a boat load of money. And that’s fine.‘it’s his work and he was never a self-righteous prick . Here the Estate got both so he’s probably be happy.

They were more powerful but they were made with Sauron not being involved.

Celebrimbor


He made the 3 rings without Sauron knowing about them. Once he put on the the One Ring they were able to see the truth about who he was. The 3 rings he made were not binding with Sauron 's magic like the other 16 rings.

Right. Exactly right. But, objectively, WHY?

Sauron is the more gifted smith, he served under Aule (while Celebrimbor learned from Feanor). Sauron's One is more powerful than the Three, which shows he has the greater craft.

Sauron and Celebrimbor, collaborating together, should have forged something stronger than Celebrimbor on his own. At least their final works together, should have been equal.

I'm suggesting that in addition to trial and error, Sauron was also intentionally limiting what was being made.

Well, yes and no... they didn't corrupt their owners like the other ones did.

But when the One was destroyed, the Three crapped out. If they were completely independent, then they would have endured.
