This is honestly an incredibly unique format I've never seen before, of professionals talking about science while playing video games. Honestly incredible imo

 @Apjooz What? That doesn't even make sense

@DarkGob Which still brings us back to the problem of Starfleet being anti-former Borg, when Picard never had any issues.

I really have to agree that thinking Goldberry wouldn't see them off just because it's washing day (why would a river spirit need to wash clothes for a whole day?) is oddly literal given how much the video talks about Tolkien's "non-allegories". It's pretty clear both Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are far more than they seem. And that's why they're great: they expand the world, because of their seemingly incredible mystical power and general non-importance to the overall narrative.

Holst was alive for it but didn't care to do a piece for it because 1: he hated the Planets overshadowing all his other works and 2: Pluto has no astrological significance like all the other planets which was the point behind The Planets theme

You described it perfectly. It should've been a Poirot-esque series, but where Picard never has to leave his home town and just helps other people solve their problems with his wisdom and advice.

Really both Legolas and Gimli got robbed of all characterization. Legolas is action man, and Gimli is nothing but comedy. The two of them basically get zero serious character moments in the films.

@Linklex7 Or that there's much of a future to be had

5:20 Qualifying Galadriel, the most powerful and old elf in Middle-Earth at that point who is directly involved with the Fellowship succeeding, the Ring being destroyed, and generally preserving beauty and happiness in her corner of the world as a "Man eating spider who needs to die" is some incredible oversimplification/mischaracterization lol Also same for Eowen "needing to marry and settle down". Choosing to be at peace after losing her adoptive father figure and basically getting PTSD from being in a battle where the majority of her people died isn't at all a bad thing. The point of her is not that she's an uppity woman needing to know her place, it's that she's a person who wanted to die in battle due to basically suicidal obsession with warrior culture, and realized after she experienced it that war wasn't so great and glorious after all, finding new purpose in rebuilding during peace time. I'd also hardly qualify Shelob, a massive eldritch spider, as a woman in any reasonable sense of the word. But yeah Rosie and Arwen aren't really characters lol. Goldberry was neat tho imo Anyways despite my opposition to one small statement in an hour long video, I do want to make sure it's clear that it's an awesome video and I quite enjoyed it! The Scouring of the Shire imo arguably could've been a good short film on its own, separate from the movie trilogy itself.

@americafy9195 They can disagree all they want but they'd be wrong lol

@Humorless_Wokescold This is such a monumentally terrible take it genuinely comes off as bait.

@Henderburn2 Saying it's a cute, attractive uniform is pretty normal, especially for the internet.

@ThePlayerOfGames They very much are though.

@jeffeppenbach YES exactly. The "LotR is not allegory" statement from Tolkien was SPECIFICALLY due to people saying Sauron was supposed to be Hitler or Stalin.

@donwald3436 Exactly.

@darnok6407 Good thing literally every science video is just someone talking so you can watch that instead :)

@craigterris1190 People misunderstand that you need actual intent to make something an allegory, rather than just using your lived experience in your fiction.

@tankiegirl But better.

@rmsgrey And Narnia being Lewis' Jesus fursona fanfic is the whole reason Tolkien didn't like it, while simultaneously saying that in the end LotR was a work of Catholicism he never made it where LotR was literally Christianity.

@overdev1993 Yeah but those are shorts, this is an hour long video. And she's doing both, instead of the gameplay and commentary being completely disconnected.

Yet? Best not to see it ever lol

I'm glad to see other Stratego enjoyers out there. I thought I was the only one lol

@iamstan5251 This is very accurate, because Tolkien really hated how Lewis had everything a direct Christian allegory in Narnia while also just taking Greek mythological creatures and carrying them over with no changes whatsoever. He found it all way too on the nose and unimaginative.

 @victorreis8110 You don't seem to understand the original meaning lol

 @dannygjk You have zero reading comprehension
