TRoP Season Finale spoilers under the cut

Fuck this show.

If this was fanfic I'd gobble it the fuck up but these people are writing official Tolkien stuff. Half-assed bluster poetics ain't really gonna cut it for me even though I'm not a Tolkien purist.

Rest in peace Adar, you would've loved the Tragedy of Julius Caesar (not)

#never for a moment have i been a hater but #they try even if clumsily build up sympathy for the orcs through Glúg and through their loyalty to Adar #only for them to turn coat OFF SCREEN?#like yeah orcs will orc I'm not mad about them betraying him but HOW they betrayed him #like you give us a really cool concept of Nenya healing Adar's very soul the moment before you kill him off?#why tf was Adar in the forest anyway why not enter Eregion to execute Sauron on the spot?#he HAD to lose at one point I ain't delulu but this death wasn't poetic to me it was just a waste #like I see the semblance of logic in everything the writers do but it all falls so flat #like Adar had this big powerful moment at the end of ep 7 only for him to be Julius Caesar-d by GLÚG of all people?#there were signs but honestly #Glúg choosing fucking Sauron because he was mad at Adar trying to protect HIM and all the Uruks like #what was the point of Glúg then it's like they couldn't make up their fucking minds about whether orcs can be capable of redemption or not #and don't get me started on the Balrog getting like 30 seconds after they've been teasing it all season and even the season 1 #or that Isidul the most crucial CANON character to the story didn't do shit all season aside from homewrecking lol #also Arondir is fine??? Apparently??? Like completely fine???#and the whole Rhún sequence was just filler in the end too #bruh #i've never been a hater before to anything and yeah there IS bias on my part regarding Adar but #irrelevant things are given depth and actually interesting narratives are left shallow and just crumble under all the flawed logic #mist mumbles #mist rants and raves
