    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    It was an oak door that barely had enough buoyancy to keep Rose out of the water. Assuming that Jack could actually get on board without flipping it (he already tried and failed once) it would ride so low that it would be swamped and they would both freeze to death before being rescued.

    He's one of the Istari if that's what you're referring to, but that was never one of his names.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Christopher wasn't exactly wrong (about the LotR trilogy anyway), his excessive veneration of his father's work just warped his opinion a bit too much. They absolutely are pale shadows of the books. What he failed to consider though is that even the pale shadow of a masterpiece can be a...

    Farmer show isn't as funny as I thought it would be, just another overpowered protagonist show for the most part. The first episode was great where he actually had to use a hoe for his attack and it was based on the idea of him plowing a field, but the 'farmer' excuse in this latest episode is...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Return of the King was a shit movie that was propped up by the mind-blowing spectacle of Pelennor. Can't really find fault with Fellowship though, it was amazing.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Almost seems like a bit of an understatement seeing as how Sauron destroyed Eregion like 1500 years before the fall of Numenor.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Celebrimbor forged all the rings but he forged the three in secret from Sauron, whereas Sauron had helped with the others. Sauron destroyed Eregion and tortured Celebrimbor to death to get the nine and seven from him but he kept the location of the three secret. Of course they don't have the...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    So someone clarify something for me, are the forging of the rings and the fall of Numenor happening at roughly the same time, or is the show just doing a poor job differentiating between timelines?

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    It's such profound stupidity to try and make a show about the second age without all the rights to the major events of that time period, including the major event that your show is fucking named after. "“There’s a version of everything we need for the Second Age in the books we have the rights...

    Hottest Actress Bracket Fight

    They aren't fucked up, they're just small. Emilia Clarke's breasts hang the same way on her chest but the larger cup size saves them. I cannot imagine any possible way to set a lower bar than 'most beautiful women in Africa'

    Why should someone be ashamed of the truth? African features are fucking repulsive and black men feel the same goddamn way.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    It's funny how they guard tabletop like fucking rabid wolves but will LITERALLY ANYONE develop a video game with one of their IPs. Games Workshop's working relationship with the dev studio that makes the Blood Bowl games started back in the mid 2000s when they filed a lawsuit against them for...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Well it will probably require a similarly thorough knowledge of the system to get perfectly optimized/powergamed characters, I would guess that the game will be tuned for just using common sense to build characters.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The Hobbit trilogy did a more than adequate job demonstrating that, being far uglier movies than LotR despite having double the budget.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    So leaving out the the IP cost the official budget for Season 1 of Rings of Power is 465 million. When you adjust for inflation, the entire LotR trilogy had almost the exact same budget (somewhere between 450-470 million). Cumulative length of the LotR theatrical cut is 9 hours and 18 minutes...

    You probably learn it as early as little league if you play at any kind of serious level.

    As the ball carrier Jones did not have two arms free to avoid landing on Carr, making that contact necessary.
