I think at the end of the day, the solution is for queer people (especially those of us who are younger and/or more able-bodied) to create these queer spaces and social systems. And it doesn't have to be big! Most of us don't have the resources to open a gay bar, but we can do small things.

My partner and I make a point of having an extra sleeping space in every home we live in, just in case one of our friends ever needs a place to crash. We have made a decision that none of our queer friends will be homeless if we can help it. When a friend is sick, or has a baby, or is recovering from top surgery, I cook for them and take them meals. When a friend experienced transphobic harassment at work, several of us who had been in similar situations or had worked in HR helped them make an action plan to deal with it. I work in the same building as my sister, who recently transitioned, and I make a point to use her correct name and pronouns and to gently correct people who accidentally misgender her, because as a cis person it's less of a social risk for me to speak up than for her. These things are all small, but they add up.

If you want queer people to have in-person community, you gotta start doing community building.

Something I do grieve a little bit, especially as I study queer history and connect deeper with queer ancestors, is that the LGBTQ+ community is now almost entirely online and/or only at big events like Pride. It feels like as queerness becomes most accepted in the mainstream (which is a good thing!!!) there are fewer and fewer physical spaces that are explicitly dedicated to supporting, protecting, and celebrating queer identities. And even when there are physical spaces set aside for us, fewer and fewer young queer people are choosing to engage them.

Like, I know intentional communities are more associated with leftism and environmentalism now, but that used to be the only real option for openly queer people. When it was legal for landlords to evict you and for employers to fire you because you were gay, or a lesbian, or transgender, banding together was the only way to survive. If someone owned property or benefited from generational wealth, they opened their home to people in the community who needed a place to stay. People who were able-bodied enough to work went to work (and a lot of them were sex workers, and that's an important part of our history). People who couldn't work helped out in whatever way they could, and a lot of queer political organization was done by disabled and mentally ill folks who were out of work, or who were working and organizing while being sick.

Queer people created parallel social structures when the mainstream system wouldn't let them participate. The queer community birthed its own spiritual leaders, its own healers, its own philosophers, its own bodyguards and protectors. If someone had a need, someone else probably had the skills or resources to help.

I think a lot of us have forgotten that there would have been no Stonewall, no GLF, no AIDS activism without those webs of community support and organization formed out of necessity. Stonewall happened because the queer community in Greenwich Village in the 1960s was united under oppression and already had the systems in place necessary for organizing. The reason we have gay rights now (such as they are) is because our queer elders chose to take care of each other. And it does make me deeply sad that we seem to have abandoned that tradition of community-building in the last couple of decades.

#also absolutely talk to queer elders and get their advice #talk to people who were queer in the 80s #talk to people who remember lawrence v. texas being in the news #they are a precious source of wisdom #reblogs #dwarf-vader-of-middle-earth #queer #lgbtq

We heard it today. Also he says they his clans that is no longer have the high-tech effective efficient small spaceships which are adequate and Acura legend is what they say about them but they turn into a Vader meaning you would be an invader or invader or Vader himself by souping it up and having cool powerful weaponry. And it's going on now and it's spreading we have other announcements as well.

Hey folks, a couple weeks ago I was tagged by @dweemeister to list my ten favorite films. I think this is about as close as I can get if I’m allowed to make exceptions for series being put under one pick. In addition to listing them I’m supposed to write three things that I love about each movie.

The films aren’t really in any order though they are sorta grouped along similar lines in terms of when I viewed them/how they make me feel/where I rank them in quality.

I’m gonna tag a few folks to see if any of you want to play along. Since I’ve been working my new job I haven’t been on here lately that much, but I miss you all and I’m curious what any of you think.

@maollionaire, @soldier-at-63, @major--minus, @barefootonwickedstone, @soysauceprince, @biohexacrypt, @welcometothegreenparade, @buckeyenative01, @thegingerstagemanager, @cynicallyamorous, @clio-is-amused, @firewhiskeydreams, danceswithwookies, @pipesartandarchitecture, @michaelhanekes, @thefilmfatale, @nflstreet

Star Wars Trilogy

1. It’s probably the single biggest piece of media I consumed in my formative years, it meant so much to me as a kid and those feelings are still strong. 2. The otherworldy setting is one of the best in all storytelling but the story itself, a distillation of old legends and archetypes, is really what makes it so great. 3. Luke and Vader’s fight in Return of the Jedi might be my single favorite moment in any film. It’s one of the earliest concrete memories I have of watching movies as a kid.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (EXTENDED!!!!)

1. It’s just an incredible story. Huge in every way with all these characters who you learn to love. In the giant conflict that dominates the story the best moments are usually small conversations between two characters you care a lot about. 2. The sheer scale of these movies and their flawless execution is one of the most staggering achievements in film history. And the score, holy shit. 3. Middle Earth is the most impressive fantasy world ever created and just getting a slice of it in the films made me an addict.

Alien

1. Maybe the best sci-fi AND the best horror movie ever. It’s so good it’s the best in two different genres. 2. When I’m trying to fall asleep I ask to dream about anything except for the Xenomorph. 3. Sigourney Weaver.

The Thing

1. Uhhhh also maybe the best sci-fi, horror, or sci-fi/horror movie every made. 2. It doesn’t have a huge cast or big ideas or an epic scale, but it’s made so well and with such care that it dwarfs any blockbuster Hollywood movie you’ll ever see. 3. The best effects I’ve ever seen.

The Godfather

1. I think this is the best film ever made. If art can be perfect this is my candidate as a perfect piece of art. 2. Like Star Wars and LOTR, every frame of this movie is seared into my brain and is completely iconic. 3. Godfather II is also 10/10.

Once Upon a Time in the West

1. Before I settled on The Godfather this is what I considered to be the best film ever made. 2. Ennio Morricone’s score is a triumph, the only thing that I think beats out Howard Shore’s LOTR score. 3. An amazing cast where Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda are overshadowed by Claudia Cardinale AND HER FUCKING AMAZING CLEAVAGE!!!!!

Blade Runner (watch the Final Cut)

1. Ok maybe this is the best sci-fi movie ever made. 2. My favorite movie aesthetic, the visuals of this movie are just incredible. 3. I’ll let you know when I don’t tear up when watching the “Tears in the Rain” monologue. It hasn’t happened yet.

Apocalypse Now

1. A bloated mess of an epic that outdoes itself every time I watch it. 2. The cost of violence, the futility of warfare, the grotesque lengths men will go to hold power over others, the horror, the horror. 3. When The End by The Doors comes on and...

Dr. Strangelove (Or How I etc. etc.)

1. Most smart movies aren’t comedies and most comedies aren’t smart. This movie is smarter and funnier than basically any movie you’ll ever see, and it’s about Cold War Politics. Unbelievable 2. It’s a short movie, maybe 90 minutes long. The first maybe five minutes are normal, then it goes off the rails, then it gets INSANE. 3. Kubrick.

The Night of the Hunter

1. An unbelievable oddity in the film world that is finally getting the recognition it deserves. 2. More than any black and white movie I’ve seen, this film is just incredible to look at. The cinematography is completely stunning and the stark imagery sticks to you forever. 3. Robert Mitchum as Reverend Harry Powell is the best screen villain I’ve seen.

So there you have it. I hope my weird mixture of elitist and popular movies doesn’t scare any of you away, though if you’ve been following me this long you’re probably used to it.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a couple other films in a different world.

I’m a huge fan of Ken Burns’ documentaries and I just need to at least bring them up here. Some people like documentaries and others very much do not. I’m one of the people who are absolutely blown away by Burns’ colossal docs. They’re in a league of their own.

The pictures are from The Civil War, Baseball, and The War. All are landmark documentaries in the genre. I’ve seen each one of these at least five times. I don’t want to add up the total hours, it’s gonna be embarrassing.

Star Wars & Lord of the Rings crossover challenge

Synopsis

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

—J.R.R. Tolkien's epigraph to The Lord of the Rings

As a child growing up with the prequel trilogy of Star Wars I also grew up with Peter Jackson’s illustration of the Lord of the Rings. After seeing the movies, I remember collecting toys and figures from both universes and made them fight each other. Good times... Now that I am older and that both Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings is still alive and strong today, my 22-year-old mind is considering a long waited crossover inspired by my childhood hobby of betting the Force against Magic. I figured I’d start by issuing a fic challenge and leave you some information to help you give an idea. Enjoy!

I always became fascinated with The Rings of Power of the Lord of the Rings and their functions and thought of what they might become of in the Star Wars universe? Well, I’ll be going over the functions of the Rings and who would be best paired with it in a bit but for now, let's get right into an interesting parallel between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

Both Darth Sidious (Star Wars)

and Sauron (Lord of the Rings)

Are very similar when it comes to their intentions; Power. How they both achieve their rise to power is very similar as well.

Darth Sidious the Dark Lord of the Sith, and Sauron the self-proclaimed Dark Lord of Mordor, both were immensely strong in the dark arts and have used alter-egos to bring intentions of peace and order to their realms by taking forms of sensitive and wise people to manipulate events that led to tyranny.

Sidious took the persona of Sheev Palpatine, a wise and sensitive senator from Naboo who became Chancellor with promises to restore democracy during the Clone Wars.

Sauron took the persona and guise of his Fair form as Annatar the Lord of Gifts, a beautiful, wise, and sensitive Elf who claimed to bring the Elven realms knowledge of jewelsmithing and craftsmanship.

We all know Sidious (as Palpatine) manipulated galactic events that led to the formation of the Galactic Empire and puts an end to a thousand year democracy and returned Sith dominance to the galaxy.

How Sauron (as Annatar) manipulated the Elves was scarily familiar.

The Rings of Power & Who in Star Wars is best to pair with them.

In Lord of the Rings, there are a total of 20 rings of great power (21 if you count Shadow of War)

In Tolkein’s world, The Nineteen Rings of Power were created to help Elven kings and queens of Middle-Earth govern their lands and would grant their wearers special powers such as the ability to grant agelessness and invisibility. Each Ring would also augment the wearer's senses and unique talents in magic, combat, or even greatly augment a naturally strong sense.

However, the Sixteen rings that were forged under Sauron's supervision, including the One Ring, had grave consequences to the wearers; as the rings gave the wearers a continuous lust for power and greed. The Sixteen did not grant true immunity to aging but allowed them to simply continue until they could no longer endure. The power to turn invisible on command with these rings (not counting the One Ring as you turn invisible regardless once placing it on your finger) simply transfers them to the Wraith World, a realm unseen to the mortal eye where spirits of the damned were forced to roam, if the wearer spent too long in the Wraith World, over time they will become a wraith themselves.

Sauron intended to use these Rings to dominate the remaining Elves of Middle-earth.

However, the moment Sauron put the One Ring on his finger, the Elves became aware of Sauron's intentions and took off their rings, preventing Sauron from dominating them.

In his fury at the turn of events, Sauron attacked the Elves, demanding that they hand over all the rings. Sauron managed to retrieve sixteen of the Rings, which he gave to mortals (seven were given to Dwarves, nine were given to Men).

The Elves managed to hide the remaining three rings, which were the greatest of the nineteen Rings that were forged.

The Three were crafted for the sole purpose of the betterment of Middle-Earth, as the Three were created without Sauron's aid, however, the Three were as dangerous as the rest because of their dependability on the One Ring and could easily do great evil as well as good if fallen into Sauron’s control. The Three had similar abilities as the Sixteen, however, did not possess consequences as their brethren as the Three were intended by Celebrimbor to be the purest and greatest out of the Nineteen Rings of Power to recreate the bliss of Valinor, where nothing withered or died. Each of the Three Rings had special properties, but their powers were limited. The Three Rings allegedly granted their wearers true longevity, however, the Elves already have a natural affinity for eternal life and the Three never left the hands of the Elves with exception of Gandalf, as he did possess one of the Three, however, Gandalf was not a mere mortal man but a Maiar who were also immortal beings. The Three’s abilities were instilling hope, preserve, to heal, and to shield others from evil. The Three did not grant their wearers to become invisible, however, only make the rings themselves invisible to the mortal eye to protect their existences. These rings did not possess an offensive capability, except Vilya as it was known to have some elemental control, however, were only made to heal and preserve.

The Three were the only rings out of the Nineteen to be given their own names.

Narya, also named the Ring of Fire or Red Ring was a gold ring adorned with a red ruby. Described as having the power to inspire others to resist tyranny, domination, and despair (in other words, evoking hope from others around the wielder), as well as giving resistance to the weariness of time. I believe the right owner of Narya in Star Wars would definitely be Leia Organa and also to never let Carry Fisher’s memory be lost to time.

Nenya, also named as the Ring of Adamant, the White Ring and the Ring of Water is described as being made of mithril and set with a "white stone", a diamond. Nenya's power was preservation, protection, and concealment from evil. I guess the rightful owner of this ring will be Padme Amidala because she is a very determined person, queen, and senator not tempted by evil regardless of her love for Anakin when he asked her to join him. She was also the only thing that preserved Anakin in Darth Vader and saw the good in him. Nenya is then buried with her after her death to preserve the beauty and stability of Naboo during the Imperial Era. Rey is also a suitable choice for Nenya as an inheritor of the ring regarding her character development and relationship with Ben Solo. Because freaking Reylo is the reverse Anidala. Duh!

Vilya, the Ring of Air, Blue Ring, the Dominant Ring, or Ring of Sapphire is the greatest of the Three Rings. The exact power of Vilya is not mentioned. It is reasonable to speculate that it also possesses the power to heal and to preserve. The ring can possibly possess the power to see the future. Vilya's main use was to create a realm where the Elves could be at peace. The wielder could use the ring to set an enchantment on a chosen location, preserving all living things within the region. With this boundary spell, it is possible that Vilya granted the user to control minor elements other than Air. Though it is stated that Vilya can cure any ailment or wound. I’d say the greatest out of the Three will go to Yoda and passed over to Luke Skywalker after Yoda’s death. Luke used Vilya to preserve the Force Tree on Alch-To and Yoda may still have influence over Vilya as he used it to summon lightning to set the Force Tree ablaze. After Luke’s life in the living world came to an end, Vilya remained on Alch-To upon the stone where Luke had sat. The Caretakers of the island declared the stone a shrine to Vilya where it still remained unclaimed to a new bearer.

The Seven were presented to the Dwarven Lords by Sauron as a means to dominate the mortal realm after his failure to dominate the Elves. The Dwarves were proven to also be failures to indoctrination because of the Dwarves’ natural hardiness to mental manipulations and magic, so much even the invisibility and the enhancements to their traits ceased to work on them. However, the Dwarven Lords did succumb to the lust for greed that accumulated into mountains of wealth that led to their downfall as four of the rings were either consumed or destroyed by dragons who lay hibernating in the massive mounds of gold while Sauron took back the remaining two and was never placed on a mortal or Elven finger again.

It is my speculation that some people who have a strong willpower and mental capacity can resist the effects of the Rings that turns them into Sauron’s slaves like (SPOILER) Talion in Shadow of War when he placed one of the Nine rings on his finger.

So I guess if I had to choose who would be better to wield some of the Seven in Star Wars (without them becoming wraiths) I would say the characters that are on the side of money such as Bounty Hunters or Pirates. Characters I feel could be mentally strong enough to counteract the lethal side effect and mind control of the Seven much like the Dwarves did in LOTR, I would pick Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, Jabba the Hutt, D.J, and Hondo Ohnaka. (D.J. already has a ring just like the one above. Scary, right? I also like the idea of D.J’s ring starting to take effect on him given his stutter.)

The Nine were infamously known when they were gifted to the race of men who above all others desired power that matched Sauron the Deceiver. Each ring granted them extraordinary power and abilities as well as the power to cheat death and be granted immortality, for a price of their own humanity. As a result, these nine great kings of men fell into darkness one by one, becoming slaves to the Dark Lord’s will and became the Nazgûl. Damned into being ringwraiths neither living nor dead and being led by the infamous Witch-King of Angmar who was the darkest of them all.

I think the obvious choices in Star Wars would be

and Finally...

The Knights of Ren, the new line of the Nine Nazgûl following the rediscovery of seven surviving Nine Rings of Power by the Supreme Lader Snoke. Kylo Ren out of all of them will display the focal point between the Light and the Dark as he struggles with the power of the Ring once belonging to Darth Vader that has a strong hold over him.

Kylo would be represented as Talion from Shadow of Mordor/War when SPOILER ALERT: Talion takes a Nazgûl’s ring and uses the powers of a Ringwraith against Sauron after Celebrimbor betrays him.

The One Ring, also known as the Ruling Ring, the Master Ring, the Ring of Power, and Isildur's Bane. Sauron’s greatest prize is a simple gold band when exposed to heat shows a hidden inscription: “One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” The ring was created by Sauron in the fires of Sammath Naur and with the aid of Celebrimbor, perfected the One by masking its power and giving it a will of its own. But creating the ring simultaneously strengthened and weakened Sauron's power.

On the one hand, as long as Sauron had the ring, he could control the power of all other Rings of Power, and thus he was significantly more powerful. On the other hand, by binding his power within the Ring, Sauron became dependent on it. Without it his power was significantly diminished. In the hands of Sauron or Celebrimbor, they could dominate the minds of Orcs and build massive armies. But the ring only answers to Sauron and is forever bound to him, mortals who hold the ring is automatically grown attached to it and will try to sway them back to its master and given several side effects from agelessness and being able to understand black speech.

The most obvious choice to wear this ring would be Snoke but as it’s true master and creator while Sidious came in possetion of it since his apprenticeship under Plagueis and was lost once more after the destruction of the Death Star II until it found its way across the stars and landed on a distant planet where it was rediscovered by the creature Gollum. (Andy Serkis was Gollum... go figure.)

Last but not least!

The New Ring, designed for one thing; War. This new Ring of Power was fashioned in Sammath Naur from the same fires from once the One Ring was forged from. Celebrimbor allied with Talion to forge a ring free from Sauron’s influence and contained every bit of power it’s bretheren contained making it a tool for evil as it was for good. Unlike it’s brother, the New Ring was bound to no man nor entity, only forged from darkness for the light to meet it upon the finger of anyone willing to become the Bright Lord of Mordor. With this new ring, the wearer can dominate the minds of lesser beings such as Orcs and tame the wild, if their will is strong enough could dominate the minds of mortals. The ring allowed the wearer to cheat death, grant longevity, and grant acess to the Wraith World but did not grant invisibility.

The ring was a obsidian or steel band with blue inscriptions: “I renounced the Blessed realm, To redeem the Land of Shadow, And bind the walls of Arda. In place of the Dark Lord, You shall have light undeminished. All shall fear me and dispair.”

The appropriate choice for this ring would obviously be the new Supreme Leader of the First Order. When Kylo Ren could not turn to the light but does not stop him from weilding it to shape the galaxy in his image not as the new Dark Lord but a Bright Lord.

So what do you guys think about that? That intriguing enough for yall? It is something to play around with obviously and this was something I had to get off my chest. If you like the idea of a crossover then I openly suggest you go for it. Happy writting!

The Lord of the Rings: The 10 Worst Movie Book Shifts

The art of adaptation is a cruel business. For a beloved property like J.R.R. The trilogy of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien is not limited to being victims when they move from page to screen. Peter Jackson calmly led the attack to bring Tolkien's rich Middle-earth world to life by adding some of his own artistic flowers. The King's Return Ring Society, Jackson has taken the highest of high fantasy concepts and translates them into three thrilling adventures. He just won three Academy Awards in 2004 for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.That is, the films are not flawless. Fans of the books know how much Jackson left from Tolkien writing, especially his adaptation of the two towers. The characters are distorted, omitted from the underestimated key elements and important events, often to the less effective substitute. Here are the 10 worst book changes to Lord of the Rings movies. 1. To a joke Gimli

Unlike trilogy to his portrayal in Peter Jackson, Gimli is a tough warrior and a dwarf only. Although he is a fool in films essentially Tolkien put him as "an obscure character, usually only occasionally, to laugh, and although in some rare cases, entertainment, but never a joke." He certainly is not the idiot who thinks he can break the ring with a single blow from his ax. If in the laughter of the community conversion to Gimli, it undermines the dwarven moments of gravity. Take the darkest moments of the Battle of Helm's deep links, which is the Battle of Normandy beach from Middle Earth substantially. Although Aragorn and Theoden prepare their men and their bark orders, Gimli is on the edge how to make cracked strength and laughing. There is room for humor, even in the most difficult situations, but not at the expense of Gimli's character, approaching caricature throughout the filming. 2. Pass the Shire Wash

Long before J.R.R. Tolkien wrote at the end of The Return of the King, he planned to bring the epic circle of fantasy. Amidst the destruction of mighty Middle-earth, the region was not spared. Tolkien noted that "an image of the last decrepitude of the old flour mill, with its pool, which seemed so important to me." The picturesque image was Tolkien's own Shire, and he also had the hounds were destroyed. When the Hobbits return home (in the books), they discover that their homes have changed their own lives so much. Saruman and his servant Wormtongue moved to Frodo's facility in Bolson, and the evil forces of Mordor moved to Shire. The last battle of the War of the Ring found in Bilbo Baggins's backyard, and sees that the hobbits bravely fighting and Saruman is the death he has always deserved. Although Hobbits are peaceful short of Shire's tongue Snake's neck and his master will distribute dead by a shower of arrows. These sequences have added the already epic runtime of the film, but have the omnipresence of the evil Sauron demonstrated inspired. Without them making the movies that region than practically unchanged despite the apocalypse around them, which not only reduces the risks, but raises the question of whether Bag-end was out of danger, should not Frodo simply stay at home? Tolkien hanging entire story on this penultimate chapter because it represented during the war, even the most sympathetic people or the field are safe. 3. No Closure For Saruman

Saruman is a central character in The Lord of the Rings, so why was the ending so unsatisfactory? Sauron may be the most difficult of all bad guy, but is caught in an eye presence for the whole trilogy. This leaves Saruman as the main enemy to take shape in the flesh, and once all the chaos caused in Middle-earth, you would think that Peter Jackson would have enjoyed the opportunity to take his death in the final movie. In the theatrical edition of The Return of the King, all we say (by Tree Beard) is that the twisted wizard was locked in his tower, disappearing, until death comes to him. When the Ents had under her command, certain that she would be unhappy some form of punishment, instead of imposing a prison sentence. The species decimated the population, after all. Unfortunately, Jackson decided not to close for the White Magician to give to save for more cut of his death, in Isengard. As the director himself admitted, "I reluctantly decide to save this sequence for the DVD The selection based on was made that most people assume that Saruman was defeated by the events of deep and Helm's Ent. End appropriate, it is strange, "take over", the fate of Saruman in the film. Trimming to Shire: This inconsistency can be explained by the lack of other key element books. 4. Escape ARAGORN a hero in HAMBRIENDO CAR

If there was no model to compare with Aragorn movies, you can think of it as the ultimate hero. He is discreet, (relatively) early, and if you are struggling to convince bravely in the battle. This is all very well, but Aragorn as you can imagine from J.R.R. Tolkien is much more pronounced. More self-abominable in the movies, the Aragorn books unkempt, and almost reluctant leader is poised for leadership. More than any other man in history, Aragorn is the bearer of heroism. He does not withdraw his fate, nor does he question his role in the fate of Middle-earth. No, he embraces his role as Isildur's warm heritage. In movies, it always seems to have a foot out the door. A shining example of heroism confused his decision Aragorn the heads unarmed emissary Sauron in the Black Gate. Although the creature is uglier than the sin and mocks Aragorn, Legolas and should never the heir of Isildur get his moral code broke and a messenger of peace killed Gandalf on the fate of Frodo, the "Mouth of Sauron." Tolkien would be such an act reserved only for the most famous characters in Middle-earth. 5. HUMANIZING GANDALF against the Witch King

Speaking of King Warlock, if you have a scene to add in the fight with Gandalf, you can not let him win. Or if you are going to put the Wizards knees, do so after a glorious battle, love the kind of writers of fan fiction to create. For some reason, the extended version of Peter Jackson has the Return of the King a scene in Minas Tirith where the Witch King walk to stop Gandalf with Pippin flies. Though one of his greatest enemies in the present, Gandalf did not move, and instead sits on his horse to the shudder expecting Nazgul. Kill. Witch King sends a magical force field from Gandalf to destroy and then thrown from his horse in a really humiliating way. It is a pointless moment that not only adds value to the film again but has zero relationship with Tolkien's books and reduces Gandalf's omnipotent power without even a chance to respond, to give. 6. Neutralization THE IMPORTANCE OF Merry and Pippin

In general, Comic Relief is managed throughout the trilogy The Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson and co-writer Philippa Boyens. Bring out Bilbo's 111th birthday to the end, Merry and Pippin laughing with their intrusive and audible. Unfortunately, the two hobbits are the Middle-earth puppet theater depicted far beyond the Tolkien borders. His wit and courage, unfortunately, lost in the shuffle. If for Merry and Pippin, Frodo and Sam were not they would never come with success in the region in the first place. Although they are out of their league long history, Merry and Pippin are quick to accept and learn as they go. In the movies, but Merry and Pippin are presented as accidental warriors who come to the community in a fantasy. In the books they need Frodo to come on the trip and, although hot Elrond to protest against his presence, Gandalf who insists on being accepted is. Finally, it is argued in value that it has been neglected by the death of Éowyn important against the Witch King, the Merry contribution. Without his dagger and his mystical wave of daring, Nazgul did not weaken to such an extent that a single strike would end. Although the Cheerful films show the dagger on the side of the spectrum to bring down, he received no credit in the episode. 7. Notes ENTS Daft

Despite the many missed opportunities, Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit achieved its calmer scenes, especially in moments of music. When the dwarves of the "misty mountains," a haunting and hypnotic Braman theme, all majesty in Tolkien's mind seems to thrive. It is particularly strange that Peter Jackson several minutes running precious time to see Thorin Shield of Oak hum an output melody when you consider that the rest of the movie is consumed by the CGI high frame rate. It is not until Bart tree hobbits on a walk in the afternoon when he finally got the decimation of his colleagues testify Ents. Like Eowyn, he uttered a cry from Darth Vader-lite of the sadistic magician knows that his days are numbered. This is a slap in the face that created Tolkien's character for the first time. In the books, the arrival of Merry and Pippin comes just before Entebate where Barbary and Co. quickly decide to bring ruin to Saruman. There is no need to think about it because they are intelligent, experienced and proud of their people. The movies show the Ents have little or no agency, but rather serve as the filling time, while the rest of the plot unfolds kills. 8. Reduced almost all songs and POEMS

Despite the many missed opportunities, Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit achieved its calmer scenes, especially in moments of music. When the dwarves of the "misty mountains," a haunting and hypnotic Braman theme, all majesty in Tolkien's mind seems to thrive. It is particularly strange that Peter Jackson several minutes running precious time to see Thorin Shield of Oak hum an output melody when you consider that the rest of the movie is consumed by the CGI high frame rate. This moment is just one of the many songs and poems written throughout the text of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Pippin Music in The Return of the King is one of the most prominent in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Jackson used it with great effect. If only the original songs of Tolkien object of frequent use. Without suggesting that the trilogy a full-length music film would have benefited from the song Frodo in the Bouncing Pony or Aragorn's poem about Gondor. This is of great imagination, which Tolkien wrote after all for the same reason of such a long list of songs in the first place. 9. MAKING HEROES IN PRACTICAL ELAS

For many fans of the film, the battle of the Abyss of Helm, the highest mark was two towers in the water. It was a confrontation in the rain of Uruk-hai furiously against an army of men and elves. It is a scene that is opposite to the best fights of Game of Thrones, but it is a pity that Peter Jackson strongly to interpolate the raw material and wrote basically the whole nature of the war. The most notorious of all, he relied on warrior Elven to fight against the Dark Army. To be clear, there were no elves for the Abyss of Helm in the books when the film a team of five hundred archers shows from Lothlórien to sent the scene of the fight. Army Theoden consisted largely of "soldiers [I have seen many winters or very few." Of course, this does not mean it describes the presence of immortal popular Elf. In the battle of Horburg, Theoden did not shoot the luxury of a battalion of experienced archers dozens of bloodthirsty Saruman warriors. This is a recurring theme in The Lord of the Rings, the world of men shows that they strive to survive in a universe where everyone, even the elves flee to safety. This subtly benefits Theoden and Aragorn's deep Helms allows elves to save the day. 10. CASTING Hugo Weaving AS ELROND

When we meet Elrond in the Fellowship of the Ring, which is about 6,500 years old. JRR Tolkien describes him as "noble and just as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as an assistant, as venerable, as king of the dwarves, and just as in summer." Briefly, Elrond is the total package . His debut on the big screen can be described as something of a sage, but pushes Elrond in a much more humane way than his elvish nature area can withstand properly. To be sure, he is as mortal as she is eternal, he can not quite god-like in appearance and be in nature. Hugo Weaving, despite his entire talent and screen presence, may not have been the ideal role for an actor. His dullness and his ridiculous "Mr. Anderson" make him more militant than he probably thought Tolkien. Although dressed in the best clothes and insignia, the fabric looks more like a front-warriors than an old-fashioned board. It actually looks right at home in flashback scenes during the Battle of Dagorlad.
