Just made a sarcastic remark on #LoTR to make a point for #Fediverse ..

> LoTR already showed us that having “One Ring to rule them all” only leads to a mind-numbingly linear plot to slog on towards Mount Doom, feeling miserable all the time, until the moment that that decision can be undone and fate is once more on our side. /s

But I loved Tolkiens book. He introduced us to a new genre. Liked the movies for their big productions.

Yet this linear trek was miserable.

@[email protected] might be helpful to point out most people who watched the movies don't know about the penultimate chapter in the books on their journey back from Mount Doom, because it was cut from the theatrical release for being too grim.

Continuing with the metaphor in this context, the 'lesser evil' (SWF) approach results in abandoning the Commons to the ruin of corporations.

@[email protected] oh, that is interesting. I gotta say that it is so long ago since I read the book that I had forgotten this outcome, and Hollywoods corporate laundering of Tolkien's written history was how I misremembered things to be.
