No Mods No Masters posted:If I were the lord, I would have simply not pursued this ring forging plan. Doesn't seem like the benefits outweighed the risks "Hey guise, this super sexy elf with godlike powers no one has ever heard about showed up in Eregion and told us we should totally make magical rings to give out to all powerful leaders of the races of Middle Earth. Unrelated but we haven't heard from the Lord of Shapeshifters and Magic Saurom since Melkor being yeeted into space but I'm sure it'll be okay"

Raskolnikov38 posted:70 million goes beyond grift and into "im literally robbing sony" I think alot of that money comes from product placement and various kinds of endorsements, in any case with the box office success of most of those Sasndler movies, the guys at Sony were making decent money off those as well. priznat posted:I don’t want to watch any sandler films but I respect him ripping off movie studios, netflix and white trash. Again I don't really think that's how that works. Everyone was just paying themselves for those movies. Randarkman fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Arc Hammer posted:I was hoping for the fall of Numenor but I guess we're doing the War of the Last Alliance instead. PostNouveau posted:They still haven't gotten to a trailer with characters and dialogue huh? The fall of Numenor will be in it, there is no way in hell they are skipping that, especially since they cast isildur as a young man. they posted a map on the official show's twitter that has Numenor in the ocean. If anything I think it hints that the primary story will be setting up the Akallabeth for at least the first season, possibly significantly more, as that potentially is a long story. Calling it the Rings of Power also hints that we may be getting significant backstory into Celebrimbor and such. As for it begin a prequel about the rings, the rings are the dominant factor at this point in the story anyway, since Sauron having the One Ring is the entire reason Numenor falls. Blame Tolkien for that. In order to have a story not featuring the rings, you either go to the First Age, which is even harder to film, or you go to mid-Third Age, with the Witch King as the primary bad guy, telling the downfall of Arnor. But the Witch King is only what he is because of a ring of power. WoodrowSkillson fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jan 19, 2022 |

I don't know why people are trying to turn Adam Sandler into some kind of dumb Robin Hood, when the actual truth of the matter is taht those movies is jsut everyone involved funneling money to themselves, including Sony and the executives.

And Sandler didn't make Uncut Gems, which you obviously know. He was in it and that movie and other movies he's good in are nothing like the movies he actually has a hand in creatively.

It's been a bit since I read Akallebeth but I thought Sauron only forged The One Ring after the Fall of Numenor. Falling into the ocean only destroyed his ability to appear fair.

The power of the One Ring is what helps him compel Ar-Pharazon to bring him back to Numenor in chains rather than just be executed. How Sauron got the physical ring back to Middle Earth is murky, though as a powerful spirit, its not too hard to just imagine him carrying it off.

Yes, I understand that, but I don't really think Sandler was defrauding Sony, I think Sony were all in on the lovely movies he was making. It was a money funneling operation and Sony was as much a part of it as Sandler himself.

Also the nazgul were a thing by this point.
