correcting Filoni…

…I’ve seen quite a bit of commentary on pacing in these first 2 ep’s…

—I’m just gonna toss out there—Filoni should have taken more lessons from Team Gilroy (Andor) or Team Joss (Serenity—a movie—incidentally, based on a series that most peeps weren’t invested in, hadn’t watched, didn’t know the characters, etc; yet, when casual peeps viewed, actually found the movie overall engaging…).

—My thoughts on how pacing, and backstory could have been improved if someone actually edited scripts, before looping actors into a strange mosh of empty feeling scenes and flat, driftless dialogue, and stoic glances.

—Open with the ending of Deus Ex Baline, but from Sabine’s perspective. —Fading to present day, either at Freedom Day ceremony already, as she/Sabine is listening to empty praises, or already gazing at Ezra’s message—the feeling that she’s done this 1000x over a decade communicates in seconds that there’s a bond there, of some sort. And it’s significant. THEN, she gets summoned to the ceremony-weariness of disillusionment in her expression—and we have a reason why she decides to shaft out, triggered by the superficiality of commemoration, or the hollowness that, for all the sacrifice of the Rebellion, the NewRepublic, after 10 years, was falling short of restoring what was hoped in expectation since the defeat of the Empire. She returns to her home, picks up the saber, and mentions something about having failed his memory, and her training… —Transitioning to the next scene of the Baylin/Shin freeing MorganElsbth on Republic ship…Elsbeth, as they’re rocketing off to next destination, mentioning Ahsoka, Thrawn, or both-why or what they’re off to pursue…

—Transition to Ahsoka finally, doing whatever she’s doing (frankly-her opening scene ought to have been merged with some kind of flashback, relating to Sabine, frankly, the training, whatever kind of breach occurred between them)—juxtaposed with her current mission retrieving that holocron-Mappy Thing…and go from there…

—Alternatively, the opening crawl perhaps, might have detailed the outcome of Lothal, Ezra-Thrawn-Imperial Fleet zapped into Deus Ex Baline (I hate that plot device, but whatever, space balines are part of the thread, so…hmmph), the sacrifice of the Rebel group, and the decade having left them scattered to various destinations and roles, with the Empire mo longer a threat after Endor, but new threats uncovered by a few vigilant heroes who aren’t so convinced of the Republic’s triumph continue to haunt distant realms of the Galaxy…

—or, a WhamBamOpening full of dire portent—an opening like that of LotR/Fellowship of the Rings (the actual GOOD movie from 2001), relating to a Dathomir sister, perhaps a particular Nightwitch having uncovered an ancient magic/power millennia before—dark experiments that led to a corruption of life and death, that wove itself into something uncontained to the point where the larger group of Nightsisters were forced to such stretches of enchantment and power draw to contain the evil they woke, that while they were ultimately successful, they were consumed by their own effort of dark power against the looming threat. Have the looming threat relate to Darth Sion (since, it seems, much to my dismay, there’s Filoni, mining Legends material and deploying it into a paler shade of itself to serve the purpose of his own plot device, and stripped of most of the originating richness—see his treatment of Thrawn), and the fact that some kind of gateway across space to *whatever threat* while sealed by these ancient enchantresses, still whispered to those who carried the song in their blood. Enter—Elsbeth in the opening scene where she gets rescued…

—*sigh*—I’m not a damn script writer, and these are really just my own musings of how ‘Ashoka’s’ writing is a lesson on *show-dont-tell*. They have so much good material, but this kind of story-telling is just more refined than what it seems the current production team is capable, or Disney cares to invest the effort for better drafting and editing of their script, and over narrative before the move to actual filming…

In general I feel that most adaptations are terrible, and, at least for all modern adaptations, exist purely to make money for a studio desperate to become "The Next Big Thing™". Now by and large I don't particularly care; does it suck that The Witcher ended up being a super boring political slog instead of a fun monster of the week adventure with a girl and her parents? Sure, but I'm not a part of the The Witcher fandom, most book/game fans recognize the show is shit, and by and large its skipped the public consciousness such that it makes little no impact on much. In fact, The Witcher might, if anything, shed light on creators crapping all over existing IPs to make a name for themselves by using a preexisting IP as a resume to make the things they actually want to make.

Wheel of Time I have no investment in, having never watched the show or read the books, but I'm given to understand that by and large, its fairly universally disliked, and that the book fans are disappointed but largely unaffected by it's current crapness except to note its crapness and move on.

That's not to say that these sort of shit adaptations aren't disappointing; they certainly are, but because the two fandoms were largely unknown in the public conscious, and bad enough that even the most "normy" of people skipped by them, their effect on the existing IP is little.

Star Wars is it's own sort of hell, because while the characters I love are mostly safe (thanks in large part to Disney deciding to write their own stories, thereby inadvertently saving my characters from a fate worse than death), the utter crapness of the current DisneyWars saturates enough of my online fandom life to be mildly annoying in that I can't avoid it. But also, people who are obsessed with Ezra or think that Ashoka Tano are the best thing ever don't bother me much, bc in the Star Wars I knew and loved, these people never existed.

Tolkien is different in a way that is often hard to express, but I think it comes down to both his feelings about his stories, and also the general view of the public. I've had this argument with people a million times, that while yes, the books will always exist, with the current way that media is consumed, the amount of people who have actually read ANY Tolkien at all is smaller than you'd think. I've stumbled across countless posts from people talking about how they are huge Lord of the Rings fans, and have never even read Fellowship.

Now, I'm fully aware that there are people who will be offended by this so called "gatekeeping", but I remain baffled by the sheer number of Tolkien fans who have never actually consumed any of his written works. I'm aware that the Silmarillion is dense, and I'm certainly not about to recommend HoMe to the average reader, but the number of people who speak with authority (and incorrectly) on the themes of his works that have never read past Rivendell is astounding.

And the issue is, by and large, Tolkien is known now more by the Lord of the Rings movies made in the early aughties than he is by the works he wrote. Christopher Tolkien worked tirelessly to ensure that this father's authentic work would be persevered, that anything published posthumously would adhere so strictly to the vision of his father that large chunks remain unwritten to this day.

And then Amazon comes in and bulldozes over everything, and we are asked to be okay with it. More than that, we are asked to accept it, to stop being worried or concerned about it, to just shut up and live with it.

It doesn't matter if you like Rings of Power. It doesn't matter if you have never read a single Tolkien book in your life. It doesn't matter if you think Tolkien is an overblown writer who cared too much about nature and language and not enough about stories (an argument I have sadly seen far too much). The fact remains that Rings of Power and its writers did not give a single fuck about writing anything close to what Tolkien wrote or would have wanted. Rings of Power is crafted to be a resume for it's showrunners on their next steps to Hollywood, and attempt to create the next "GOT", the next Big Thing that will garner them enough fame and attention to let them do what they really want in Hollywood. The show cares nothing for it's source material--that much is clear from the handling of the characters, the butchering of the timelines, the mere fact that they seem to have not even given a single thought to theme or message or meaning.

And while sure, I will always have Tolkien's works for myself and those people who actually love Tolkien, and not the visual representations of his works, butchered onscreen (and yes, I do mean the Jackson movies as well), by and large with the passage of time, Tolkien will come to mean less the stories loving written of a world he envisioned, and more to mean the corporate schlock turned out for profit or the lovingly misguided fan interpretation of one of the greatest fantasy stories of all times, at least to the larger public conscious.

I will never feel bad about my criticism of Rings of Power. Never. Because it wasn't created for anything more than corporate greed and resume building, and each new fact revealed cannot convince me otherwise.

Celeborn is merely the longest in a long line of characters who are victims to a story that uses their names but not their likeness, not their soul, not who they are to the story they were used to create. At this point, it doesn't even make me mad, it makes me sad. The Second Age has always been important to me, for the stories it told and the characters it created, and watching it be handled like this hurts. And I doubt it will ever stop.

#rings of power #tolkien #rop critique #is it criticism to say that a bad thing is bad #im honestly really upset about celeborn #id rather he was dead tbh

Introducing ‘ANVAY’, Setting the Stage for an Unprecedented Global Dialogue on Harassment & Discrimination

The Legal Swan and its brands POSH at Work and Respekt are organising an extraordinary and groundbreaking initiative titled ‘Anvay’ (www.anvayglobal.com), A Global Dialogue on Harassment & Discrimination taking place VIRTUALLY from 8 - 9 Dec 2023. It is a first of its kind Dialogue happening Globally.

Event Details:

Name: Anvay, A Global Dialogue on Harassment & Discrimination

Venue: Virtual

Date: 8-9 December 2023

Time: 10 AM to 6 PM IST

Event Link: https://www.anvayglobal.com/

Registration Link: https://www.anvayglobal.com/register/

Why Anvay?

Bhanwari Devi’s indomitable spirit in the face of adversity became a catalyst for significant legal reforms. In 1992, she courageously exposed a child marriage in her Rajasthan village, only to be subjected to a horrifying gang-rape as reprisal. Despite her quest for justice, the legal system failed her, prompting a national outcry.

Bhanwari Devi’s ordeal spurred the creation of the Vishaka Guidelines, shaping India’s response to workplace harassment. These guidelines paved the way for the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, colloquially known as the POSH Act. To honour Bhanwari Devi’s resilience, we are hosting a global dialogue on harassment and discrimination, where she serves as our esteemed chief guest.

What is the purpose?

The aim of the dialogue is to create awareness around laws, rights, and remedies available, normalize conversations around ‘taboo’ topics, drive towards the inclusion of all irrespective of one’s gender, sexuality, disability, etc., see the performance of our laws so far, what we can do in future, learn about good practices across sectors globally and look for solutions for positive change. This is a dialogue with a cause and for a cause.

What will be discussed?

Anvay features expert discussions on harassment and discrimination and will see insights from Speakers from UN, NCW, UNICEF, Judiciary, Harvard University and more. Our agenda covers discussions around intersection of technology and law, experiences of persons with disabilities, future of the metaverse, measures in schools, challenges faced by the queer community, the judiciary’s role, media’s role in creating awareness, young adults and role of universities, and strategies for organizing the unorganized.

Bodhi Tree

Poor. Village. Girl.

The very thought of her entire life being limited to just these three words haunted her when she was a child. Ashweetha Shetty, now an empowered girl in her twenties, was born in Mukkudal Village of Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu. Her village till date is famous for Biddi making, a work that has become an inevitable truth of her family since years.

For women in India, being able to prove themselves worthy is a difficult. Visibly, she had to take the work her family was into. Ashweetha, when young, saw her mother putting thumb prints in place of signature while keeping record of the family income. This very sight acted as a spark and she decided that her fate will not be the same as that of her mother’s. She recalls having a peaceful life away from the city rush, even then she felt an empty void that only proper education could fill.

Like all of us, Asweetha also had in her life someone she looked up to. She was inspired to educate herself after reading the autobiography of Helen Keller. Initially it became difficult for her to convince her parents to let her go for higher education. But destiny cannot be neglected, she completing her graduation in Business Administration from a local college, and became the first graduate from her family.

Then come the turning point in her life. A Telegu advertisement was bought to her notice by her librarian regarding a fellowship in Ashoka University. Not being able to have access to the internet to fill the form, she had to borrow a phone from her junior. A skype interview became the bridge between her fellowship and herself. She was selected for Young India Fellowship of Ashoka University and had to move to Delhi.

Among the others selected for the fellowship across India, she was the only person from a rural setting. She started feeling alienated initially. After all, being a misfit is something which makes all of us awkward. She also shares instances of people not welcoming her in group researches, assuming she won’t be able to contribute. She had hard time listening to lectures in English and had to give more time. By the end of this fellowship she was completely transformed from within. “I stopped being harsh on myself” she states.

After completing the fellowship program, she started working in Sughavazhvu Healthcare. She went back to asking basic questions to herself like what this education of hers is for, what is she doing with the opportunity she has received. She also talks about how she has seen many people in her village having potentials but not having access to the magic opportunities like the one she received. She thus went back to her village and sowed the seeds of ‘Bodhi Tree’, an institute that aims at nurturing young minds in villages to make them grow into a better human being via education. Bodhi Tree aims at bridging the huge gap between the urban and rural lives in social and economic terms. With this initiative of hers she has been able to help many, by providing workshops, activity-oriented seminar, skill enhancement training and career guidance.

Child raising, cooking and cleaning is what women grow up to. They are no better than objects boxed, caged, and bottled. Every child deserves education and a happy life ahead, whether they belong to a metropolitan or a hamlet. At the end , quoting Miss Shetty,

“Where do you find your self-worth?

The answer to this question is

…where you find your voice and freedom!”
