BigBossBalrog Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 If you guys don't mind the elitist culture, I highly recommend trying the Criterion Channel's thirty day free trial. It's a massive library that focuses on mostly pre 2000 movies (though it has some standouts from this centaury); all of artistic/culture value (and yeah, there's a lot of snobby art house stuff, but that's by no means the main focus). You get to watch all the bonus/extras too. Not that more expensive than some of the other streaming service, but there's a night and day difference in terms of curation and quality control. You can even check what they have without having to subscribe. https://www.criterionchannel.com/browse?utm_source=criterion.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=navigation&utm_content=header 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't kidding Yep. They also backstabbed Sauron for trying to rule them and he proceeded to turn into a goo monster, flop down a mountainside, get stuck on someone’s cart wheel, rematerialize as a human, and flip to being a good guy because some random old man told him he should. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 What the fuck. The University of Nottingham are wanting to "decolonize" Anglo-Saxon history. Removing any mentions of them in their history course. This is actual historical revisionism. Having looked it up, this is apparently not a new thing for the Brits. They seem to hate themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't kidding As for this, I think they should have spent time focusing on the really horrible historical grievances the Easterlings and the Wildmen had with the Numenorians, if they wanted to give more depth to some of Sauron's servant's. J.R.R Tolkien himself said they had every right to be angry at what Gondor did to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show has screwed up the setting and timeline so tremendously that I don’t think it’s even worth bringing Tolkien into the discussion anymore. It is impossible for them to portray Numenor or its relationship with the Easterlings properly at this point. Only semi-related, but I’ve been jumping around rereading certain parts of the trilogy lately. One of my favorite details I’ve picked up is that Aragorn and Eomer form an alliance with the Haradrim in the early 4th Age, despite everything. It feels optimistic, but believably-so from an author who lived to see quite a few ancestral enemies turn friends in his lifetime. 2 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
