That’s hilarious. If they released a Mystery Science Theater type of series with kids commentary I’d cash in all my pto binging all that unexpected nonsense.
But Jesus had to die for our sins so that he could be resurrected and ascend back to divinity. So technically Judas was the hero because he made it all possible. So he’s actually in heaven because he helped save humankind.
Honestly, people really don’t understand the Bible nowadays but it makes perfect sense to me 🙃
On her side, she was much more of a Tolkien nerd at the time, though I think I’ve surpassed her (an indictment of myself, I assure you).
For my part, I was burned out from classwork and did not experience anything from Moria to Amon Hen. Like, I didn’t even remember that I fell asleep - or rather, waking up. So it wasn’t until I saw it again that I realized I missed Galadriel and a whole lot else. This exacerbates my confusion about what’s in the theatrical/extended, to say the least.
I’m assuming he’ll make you watch it again, regardless of your enjoyment. Like, if you don’t love it, he’ll say he didn’t explain enough or you missed something. If you do enjoy it, he’ll say you won’t mind watching it again.
Truth is, the information contained in this meme is several years old (but accurate). I’ve seen it thrice by now, and he wasn’t nearly as focused on me the third time. So, it does get better.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets uncomfortable when someone starts spectating the audience. Yes, I’m watching the same movie. No, I don’t want to laugh or cry at you.
I watched Return of the King with my wife and family when it came out. She wasn’t impressed. I do have the extended edition, but I never got around to watching it by myself.
He was a Maiar of Aulë, which was the Vala of Crafting, so prodigy is probably underselling it. As a side note, considering what happened with both Saruman and Sauron, I would say Aulë was probably a very shitty boss.
Aule also created the dwarves against the explicit orders of Iluvatar, so it kinda runs in the family. Wasn’t Morgoth a Maiar of Aule too? Nope, a Valar. Thanks for the correction!
That paragraph above reminds me most of The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice. Where to quote from the wikipedia page
'a fairy tale universe is exploited economically'.
He's written like 40 books
and they're all pretty good fun (the fantasy stuff at least, his historical fiction wasn't my jam), not high literature or anything though, just nerdy, silly humour with some fun clever bits.
The first 2 books, 'Doughnut', and 'When It's A Jar', I would normally recommend over 'The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice', they're more scifi slanted and imo tightly written.
The fundamental technology tying the books together is re-explained in book 3 though and you can figure stuff out without having read books 1 & 2, but it's probably not going to be quite as funny without all that pained context and layers of multidimensional headfuckery.
