Mytho fans id like to issue a formal apology. I realized I, too, know how it feels to have your special little guy mischaracterized and trampled over by his own damn media and now everyone hates him but YOU understand you understand him and they’re wrong they’re all wrong and also there’s this other guy everyone insists is better like it’s a competition and it’s really annoying and you just want everyone to see your pookie bear the way you see him. I understand. I’ve always understood. I am a better man now.

I plan on coming out to my dad tomorrow so 🙏 WISH ME LUCK

while religious, he’s still a very warm man so I’m not really worried he won’t accept me, I think it just might surprise him ((he’s kind of oblivious)) and he’ll need time to digest. I’m just nervous because I frankly suck at opening up in general…

but my mom already knows and is chill with it 🧘 tomorrow we three are going out for dinner 😤 I already asked him to read Yentl the Yeshiva Boy 💪 We just watched Back to the Future so I can compare an [idealized] future version of myself to Marty (petite, clean shaven) to help him visualize ⛹️ I will answer any questions he has 🤾 because I am TIRED OF IMAGINING THE LIFE I WANT 🏋️🏋️🏋️ I WANNA LIVE IT 🏋️😤🏋️😤🏋️😤

you know a thought just hit me. this may be totally obvious or absolutely ridiculous but do you think Thorin knew he wasn’t likely to win that battle against Azog at the cliff edge in the first movie? I mean he only gets off the tree to fight him after they’ve exhausted all options and his Company is dangling over a cliff, about to fall, roasting from flames and just barely avoiding wargs and orcs. Do you think he decided to try and clear a path (or die trying) going back the way they came and give his company a chance to escape? bc I rewatched the scene and literally everyone that sees him stand up to head down the tree looks at him like he volunteered his head. It was still painful that he couldn’t get more than one hit in (on the warg. not even on Azog) and I doubt he was intending to beef it that hard but he had to have known he didn’t have the odds on his side. This may be more charitable an interpretation for a guy like Thorin who pulls ridiculous stunts quite a few times, but it’s a thought.

Under the cut because it’s long:

Okay so now here’s the thing. I will forever mourn that the scene of Aragorn and the Palantir was not in the theatrical edition. Because it absolutely needed to be. If I’m remembering the theatrical edition correctly, we go from Aragorn suggesting ding-ding-ditch with Sauron, being told he won’t go for that, and saying “I think he will”, and then immediately cutting to a shot of his chest with the White Tree of Gondor on it, signaling that he’s Ready To Be King and that he’s Taking Responsibility and whatever. He has a look of grim determination, ready to take on this challenge.

But in the extended edition, we go from “I think he will” to a scene where Aragorn deliberately picks up the Palantir to challenge Sauron. Faces off against him to say “Hey bitch, I got the sword that defeated you, I got the throne, and I’m coming for you in this Epic Combat For The Ages.” And Sauron, who is very aware what genre he’s in, is thinking to himself haha, finally our epic showdown where I win. And he shows Aragorn a vision of Arwen dead, which Aragorn had been fearing this whole time. Aragorn drops the Palantir, backs up, and the Evenstar necklace drops off of him and shatters on the floor.

When we cut to the shot of his chest, we’re no longer looking at the White Tree crest, but at the fact that the necklace isn’t there. And his look of “grim determination” looks more like a man who has lost every hope he had and is just going through the motions, heading off to a suicide mission.

I am forever upset that the scene was deleted from theatrical release, because it absolutely enhances what happens next:

They march on the gate. They are going to die. Their forces have been devastated by Pellenor Fields. They’re knocking on the door of Sauron’s entire military forces. This is a for certain TPK, and everyone involved knows it. They’re doing it anyway, because even though they’re all going to die, the fact that they rang the front doorbell means that Sauron isn’t watching the back window, where Frodo and Sam are sneaking in. That’s all that matters.

And then the gate opens and the Mouth of Sauron appears. He shows that he has Frodo’s mithril shirt.

There is. no way. they could have got that shirt without Frodo being dead. Which also means that Sauron has the ring.

They lost. 100%. There’s the proof. He’s looking at it. Frodo’s dead, the Fellowship failed, Sauron has won, and for certain the future is now the slaughter and enslavement of everyone in Middle-Earth. The “Game Over” overlay shows up. They’re done.

And now it’s basically Sauron laughing at and taunting Aragorn. You have nothing. You’ve lost everything. What is there to fight for? What do you have left?

If you’ve been following my Hobbit Day posting, you might know the answer.

“I’ve got one hit point left. >:)”

Aragorn turns to his friends. Smiles. Says: “For Frodo.”

And just charges the BBEG.

This is what I’m talking about with Tolkien’s brand of hope. It’s not bright shiny “everything will work out! Teehee!”

It’s “For Frodo.”

Read: “Fuck it. I have one hit point, it’s still my turn, and I still have my action.”

I’ll relate it to the moment that you always remember from these movies: Sam carrying Frodo up the mountain.

Sam is trying to get Frodo to have even a shred of hope. But Frodo can’t. He’s done. He’s spent. He’s got no more fight in him to give.

It’s Frodo saying “I can’t. I only have one hit point left.”

And Samwise Gamgee says “That’s okay. Because I still have one hit point left.”

“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you.”

That’s Tolkien’s hope. Not “it gets better”, but “I’m not fucking dead yet.”

EDIT: and btw, since I’m on about my Boromir feelings today - Aragorn is in red and blue like Boromir used to wear.
