I don’t have a prime subscription and Disney+ couldn’t pay me to watch their crap

Game of thrones was the last tv show I watched and Avengers: Endgame was the last movie I watched (until top gun: Maverick, took a date to see that). And I don’t feel like I’ve missed much

I might watch house of the dragon if I keep hearing it’s good. Like I said I don’t mind woke programming as long as it is immeshed in a good story in a logical way. This new generation of writers sucks. They can’t come up with many good original ideas and when they steal someone else’s for those ez nostalgia $$$ bucks they tend to screw it up

House of the dragon is decent. Just watched it

I had disney+ for the mandalorian and will get it again if they make another season

Maybe I should have a lecture on why there needs to be more bald heroes because I’m bald. I’ve never had that thought, could always just appreciate a good story for what it is

I personally think that needing to see yourself in every medium is pretty narcissistic but that’s just me

Said my peace on the matter, going for a run now

I can’t believe this is all over the news. So the Finnish prime minister was in a video dancing and partying with friends, apparently something she does regularly. Not sure if it was in a club as I heard, it looked like someone’s house from the bit I saw

Is dancing with your friends at a house or a club illegal now? News to me. The only actual argument I could possibly understand was the what if there’s an emergency and she’s needed. Then I guess oh well, you get a slightly drunk leader. Is her job a 24/7 on-call position? What if she’s asleep? Maybe we should give her dangerous amounts of adderall so she he’ll always available for emergencies

Finns have conscription, are physically fit, and produce an oddly high number of formula 1 drivers. I think they demand readiness for an orc invasion from the east

That said, I agree with you and didn’t understand why this is controversial. Just another reason no quality people anywhere would want to go into politics

I’m just bummed that video wasn’t them like devouring dead baby children.

What you want and what you get are very different things when your party gets hijacked by a Mao or a Pol Pot.

Uh hundreds of thousands of Tolkien fans don’t like the changing of his work for a woke agenda. What’s so wrong with having a British writer pick people who look like him from his country for a story?

If you want to make a story about black hobbits and dwarves, maybe even some black tree-folk, maybe try inventing your own instead of bastardizing someone’s work

Edit: or, if you want to make a movie about a beloved fantasy character AND force as many black actors into roles as you can in a way that fits the story, why not take up the gauntlet of making one about Drizzt Do’Urden, the dark elven ranger hero. If you pick the setting of Menzoberranzan you could have an entirely black cast, wouldn’t that be diverse

I give you Aragorn according to Wizards Of The Coast for Magic The Gathering:

“The folks at Middle-earth Enterprises take their roles as stewards very seriously, and every decision about characters has been made with deep reverence to the original,” wrote Wizards content manager Adam Styborski. “With that in mind, together we set out to make a set that follows two guiding principles: diversity and originality.”

“The goal of this set is to express the story and setting of The Lord of the Rings in cards for Magic: The Gathering,” noting that while “countless prior efforts have painted vivid pictures of this world, our goal is a modern take on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, lovingly crafted for a new generation of players and fans.”

When will this nonsense stop?

Hopefully, never, because it does a great job of revealing who in society lives up in their own rectum
