Every man who gets away stays alive to rebuild later. Every man who gets caught extends the war and dies for nothing.

In one of Tolkien’s letters, he specifically says that if Gollum had been redeemed as much as he could, he would have taken the ring and jumped into Mt. Doom voluntarily.

My “Doesn’t Have a Problem with Women” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

It’s a shame because it’s one of the best superhero movies I’ve seen since Endgame

It responded to the question about Harris, but it didn’t really give an answer.

I don’t have a problem with centering the story on a character who they can flesh out however they want, but the vibe of this, what with the strange inclusion of Mumakil and a Watcher in the Water, puts the vibe more in line with the Shadow of Mordor games.

Racism is fluid, and in times like this, US and UK media likes to try and spin Russians as asiatic barbarians. They invoke tropes associated with the Mongol empire and call Russians “orcs”.
