#also had a dream last night of the world's absolute worst interpretation of eowyn which in my mind was from the movies

[rivalsforlife]

I thought this lotrop experience would open me up more to adaptations and different interpretations in general, which it in some ways has, but also I’m regressing into more of a purist. I’m young enough that when I got into lotr the jackson movies were already big enough that the experiences overlapped a lot for me. and only recently now that I have been thinking about adaptations more, and also did my proper lotr reread this summer, I’ve been more annoyed about the movies and how many people think they’re like perfect adaptations where jackson didn’t change anything and ESPECIALLY not characterization when he did that a ton. one more claim that “elves are supposed to be wise and above everything else, they shouldn’t be acting irrationally” and I’m going to put my head through the wall
