Might as well take their time since there’s like a 12 year time skip in the books.
They don’t have the rights to The Silmarillion. They’re basing everything off the appendencies.
My skin isn’t as loose as my cat’s.
Charlie Vickers as Sauron alone makes it worth watching. He’s been absolutely incredible. A few other actors have been great too. I love how it’s mostly all unknowns. The visual effects are really impressive as well. The story is…up and down. But it seems like they’re figuring it out. Most of the criticisms are totally fair. But I’m still glad the show exists. It’s light years better than The Hobbit trilogy at least.
This is the first game I thought of when I saw Avowed gameplay.
Microsoft has seen itself as a platform company harkening back to the Ballmer days. That’s what his infamous “developers developers developers” coke fueled rant was all about. They make the bones of a platform and count on 3rd parties to build it out into something usable. If that never happens, the project is DoA. If that does happen as intended, they just buy the companies that do it best.
A choice between a slow genocide and a fast genocide is no choice at all.
The videos only being 6 seconds long really helped with the appeal.
I have to imagine he’s gearing up for his own 2028 presidential election campaign. It’s still self serving at the end of the day.
I’ve always thought the space Hitler thing was a pretty big misunderstanding or generalization of Paul’s character. Hitler couldn’t see the result of all outcomes and pick the least bad outcome in the same way. Paul could literally see the future and decided his path would result in the least amount of suffering. No human has ever been forced to experience that burden. I think he’s a fascinating character and the oversimplifications irk me a bit.
