Talking "The Rings of Power" Trailer - Ep. 65 of Intentionally Blank

[Music] hey hey so um do you want to hear a food heist i do because you warned me what this one was for and i am baffled by the idea so we're going to hear about it it's delightful so this one's actually a few weeks old uh this is actually from july well that's that's more new than a lot of it's more new than a lot of the ones that we've been doing uh so it's not cutting edge ripped from the headlines uh but it's ripped from a month old headline how's that uh this was in boardman ohio okay um i'm sure they get no jokes whatsoever about the name of their town no and it's b-o-a-r-d oh uh and so i think it's a man who just really loves boards and or board games either way uh they have a restaurant there that i believe is called double bogeys that was in a mall okay and this place apparently takes all its fry oil and then dumps it into an outdoor container okay um and then a biodiesel company comes and picks it up and takes it off and you know hooray for reusing and reducing and all that sort of thing uh but guys showed up in late july to get the shipment of fry oil collected from double bogeys and found that it was empty 700 gallons of used cooking oil got stolen from a deep fryer was stolen are did they check for holes right i think if there was there were holes in the storage container uh i think people would have noticed there could be a drain nearby that's you know this is even the worst smell though i mean no uh this stuff can't be worth very much here's the crazy part um locks were cut so like this was a whole thing it was an actual hike someone actual heist they showed up they cut the locks but also at the same time they only empty this storage container every three months so how rancid was that oil sitting in an outdoor storage container in a mall parking lot for three months and someone was like you know what we're going to plan an elaborate heist and we're going to take it all i mean this is this is absolutely i could see the looks on their faces when that biodiesel guy shows up no no this is this is a joke of some sort this is someone who is in food heist prison okay and they had stolen twinkies or something they're like you're on the bottom of the list your punishment is you gotta go steal the fry oil it's like a prank being played on the worst of the food heisters by the entire food heist conglomerate or is it someone who wants to join the crew of a much more elaborate food heist and he's like okay first you gotta prove your bona fides you gotta steal 700 gallons of fry oil by tonight and he's like crap what do i do i mean on one hand if they only check it every three months then gonna make a pretty cold trail if you uh so well so here's the thing yeah uh a worker at a restaurant nearby noticed an unmarked dusty white tanker truck by the outdoor storage container four days earlier four days which means this is someone who knew the schedule he knew it was being picked up on the 19th he waited till it was full snuck in there on the 15th and took almost three months worth of used rancid cooking oil from an outdoor storage container in a small parking lot really hard to steal that without using a tanker or something so maybe it's not you okay over there taylor yes um man uh yeah this is the dumbest one the dumbest one yeah fry oil used fry oil like that they probably pay the company to come get it okay so i'm sure they do like here we will pay you to dispose of this properly we get some kind of you know carbon credit for disposing of this instead of throwing it away uh here's the thing a woman that i went to elementary school with that i've known since second grade is a science teacher yep and she i don't know if she still does it she used to do this uh she would make biodiesel in her high school class with her kids okay so you're saying it's a bunch of teenagers i'm saying that this is either a bunch of teenagers or it is like an inner city dangerous minds michelle pfeiffer like teacher who's trying to inspire kids and is like yeah you know what you know what you can do you can make the world a better place through theft don't steal like other stuff steal this garbage that nobody wants couldn't think of a thing people would steal no i couldn't because gnocchi and he's like that would be too silly no i i couldn't think of anything other than biodiesel at this point that someone would want yeah why would anyone want anything other than that um maybe 50 pies but that's ridiculous so we weren't gonna reference that episode i wasn't gonna you're the one who referenced it i was gonna leave it as an easter egg but the point is this could be an inspirational tale of someone using 700 gallons of rancid used fry oil um to like inspire children okay okay that's i guess i that's the official backstory for this one they're going to get into prison and they'll be with the the food heist gang they'll be like where are you where do they go in the hierarchy they're like well they're educators they have their own hierarchy they're off by themselves doing good we don't mess with them they're you know their inspirational the sad part of that story is that the reason this person ends up in food heist prison yeah is because we tipped off the cops on our show that it was probably a teacher yeah so they just looking around who's the most inspirational junior high science teacher and then they found him and threw him in prison off you go yeah so what i think is hilarious is uh we're actually for once going to be doing a topic that might actually you know be youtube relevant rather than talking about pride and prejudice or um you know random things that we'd like to talk about we're picking a show that's coming out this week we're topical we're topical kind of on accident and anyone who clicks on it because they're like oh it's you know people doing information one of the most popular fantasy artists in the world he's talking about lord of the rings nope sucker seven minutes of rancid fry oil first and then you're gonna hear what brandon thinks the top comment on youtube is going to be just skip to minute seven and that's when they start talking about lord of the rings no no no no the the loyal listeners they're they're here for us they're gonna be like show gets boring at seven minutes guys they stopped talking about the food heist uh so we are going to be talking about lord of the rings lord of the rings more specifically rings of power yep yeah uh so what did you think when you first heard that amazon was making a lord of the rings sultan show man i have been on a roller coaster for the last several years emotionally speaking i am a huge lord of the rings fan um i love the movies deeply and dearly um and so when i heard that amazon was gonna do it and that they were spending you know millions of dollars per episode to just make it as big and as as cool as they could make it uh i was cautiously optimistic now i'll say we will have no spoilers for rings of power in this because we have not seen it we've seen all the trailers you've seen all the trailers uh but of course it doesn't come out till friday yep and so if you're watching this after friday and you're like well you could have already watched it we posted this before then yes we do not have time travel yet as i often say science people get on that it's our idea to imagine it you make it a reality we did the hard part um so i um i heard of this scientists i dreaded it the first time i heard about it but then like i think a lot of people i read even that announcement article um maybe there were two separate articles had been sold and then it was getting made years ago when they said it was second age i kind of heaved a sigh of relief um because it can't impact my love of the movies and books that much being so far removed yeah from um from particularly the films and you i we didn't have to worry about that yeah and so that that was a sigh of relief well and i was initially quite worried like i was so excited by the announcement and then i found out what they actually had the rights to yeah and realized oh this is not the silmarillion stuff which is kind of what i had hoped it would be um and and i i hesitate to say exactly what it is i think it is somewhere alien stuff is it not it's not it's basically them reverse engineering narrative out of the appendices of lord of the rings if i remember correctly and i might be wrong i could be but adam do some look up doing something if they have their own really interesting or anything like that because this was sold by the token estate not by new line slash uh warner brother and so they would have the rights to sell silmarillion but i don't think they did but they didn't i think they sold the trilogy and then amazon said does that include the appendices they're like i guess so and then amazon said well we're not going to tell the lord of the rings story we want to tell a second age story based on the historical notes of the appendices is i'm pretty sure what it is well you know tolkien better than i do and you've been following this better so i'm going to trust you until unless adam comes up with other information i was on the impression just kind of tangentially knowing that basically this didn't happen until christopher tolkien couldn't stop it and everybody i mean that's true yeah everyone wanted to sell the rights they sold for 250 million dollars i can't imagine amazon buying the rights for 200 for that much without getting the chance at the silmarillion which is the only unadapted uh straight up you know tolkien plus guy gavriel okay written uh full length volume that hasn't been adapted right yeah uh which is precisely the reason that it is so concerning to so many people that that is apparently not what this is okay so i didn't know that i mean i yeah so uh calling it rings of pyro adam's got information for us it seems like dan is correct dan is correct dan is correct so do they not have the rights to so marilyn or do they just choose to not do the silmarillion which would have been earlier right i mean a lot of the stuff from the silmarillion is before the first stage yes yeah uh so maybe that's why they decided not to it's like who can we use we can tell a story about galadriel everyone likes galadriel which i think is actually a good choice yeah um and the the lady that they've got to play galadriel at least in all the trailers looks great i am excited with her as a protagonist for this story um what i have eventually settled into and i guess i should say that i was also extremely put off by the first trailer that came out like last year it was a bad trailer is this are you talking about the one where they uh carved the wood and zoomed out of just the title and then had some sweeping shots are you talking about the first like trail that showed up there was yeah not not that not the teaser you're talking about like there was an actual first trailer that was all the effects in it looked really cheap yeah i didn't like that one anymore um it was very simple and it looked just off somehow and then we have since had a two more trailers that honestly i'm very excited at this point okay and and uh what i was gonna say the thing that i've eventually settled on the explanation in my head is even if this is just pure fan fiction as long as it's well done fan fiction i'm down for it okay i'm currently gm'ing two different middle-earth campaigns um and that's the same thing right we're taking all the stuff that tolkien created and then telling our own stories in that world i mean that's what d is yeah straight up uh and if if this show is just that but they do a good job and they're true to the spirit of it then i don't care if it's inaccurate i don't care if it's made-up characters doing made-up things as long as they don't like come out and completely contradict the books and have like you know impossible things happen that couldn't have happened um then you'll be okay i'm totally fine with news stories and and new people okay what um do you want a gandalf cameo or not um i am leery of one because that seems like someone you have to do so right you know like um galadriel is also a character we already know we've already met um had such a wonderful portrayal of her in the movies um but i don't think people have the emotional attachment to her that they have to gandalf i would agree with that my worry like i don't want to sing gandalf okay main reason being and this is kind of a weird reason um once gandalf shows up i feel like they do that because the studio gazette has said oh no and not enough people are watching it bring out the gandalf and this is what they've done with star trek every time ratings slide they're like get spock yeah everyone loves spock bring in spock anytime there's like and i mean that's what they did with deep space nine is uh no one's watching this show let's put warf on and make him a regular yeah and it was a genuinely great decision it was awesome that really worked and so yes um bringing in gandalf just as a ratings ploy could be you know that's similar we need this character to have a baby during sweeps week uh but as long as they do it well again i think i'm okay with it okay i just think that if gandalf shows up it's because of that so i don't want i want the show to not need to not need gandalf and survive on its own yes and then maybe if it's a great show i'll change my mind and be like all right let's let's uh let's go see if uh ian mckellen will will come in and uh and and put on the stuff and do a cameo where they don't need it but now it's just cool that he that he shows up then i'm on board now would you need ian mckellen i would want ian mckellen because you're the tolkien buff but weren't the uh weren't the wizards like created old aren't they the same age i think that they are but i'm not 100 sure i feel like they were and even if even if they're created a little bit younger i feel like they've always been the wizards and so you can digitally de-age him for just a little bit a little bit i definitely don't want like uh you know 25 year old yes sexy gandalf to show up like that would be the worst 25 year old zac efron as gandalf that's not what okay now that's that now it's what i want but you know galadriel is old she is older than the moon and this show is maybe 4 000 years ago and they've got like a 30s version of her maybe late 20s instead of uh she did look pretty ageless in the film yeah and and so they're clearly de-aging people maybe more than i would have but again at least based on the trailers i think they they have cast her well i think she looks really good do you want character arc for gladrail i mean i hope so if she's the main character she needs a character arc of some kind right yes i would agree with this but it is uh the young kids will not remember the uh the movie uh discussions about giving aragorn a character arc which was one of the contentious pieces uh because aragorn doesn't really have a character arc in the books he's you know he's already arrived at his his character he's not hiding from being king because he doesn't trust in himself he knows it's not the time right time yet he's waiting and in the movie it's like you know elrond has to kick him out the door basically be like all right out of the nest kid here's your sword goby king he has to grow up a little bit yes and in the books he's already who he needs to be he's just waiting for the world to catch up to him yes um yeah i mean yes i mean those are the that the two most contentious things as i remember and these are two things that i love about the movies i think they're great changes there's also the the sam frodo character arc where i'm talking about frodo sending sam away and sam coming back and some of this stuff like that is greatly uh in the films uh enhanced uh i don't think sam ever leaves um the whole you you're eating the bread stuff i think it's one of the best parts of the films i think it work plays beautifully and it works into what's going on it shows very powerfully sam his loyalty being even after frodo said you've got to go away um he comes back i really love it but these are the contentious things i mean yes people are mad about no tom bombadil and no scouring of the shire but yeah you know thematically they're worried about the character arc stuff you know it's interesting because looking back you know 20 whatever years ago though the change that i remember getting the most fired up about was they're not gonna have glorfindle and he's such a tiny dumb little part of the story i just really like him for some reason and replacing you know giving his role to arwen i think was a really good choice it was but i i actually was annoyed by that one first because arwen was still to me steven tyler's daughter that's in his video uh for crazy right yeah i'm like this is this uh but then she had just been in armageddon yes she had and everyone was like wait because everyone was people we've never heard of yes or people who are venerable and perfectly cast and then there's the girl from the crazy video yep and i'm like i but i think she hit it out of the park and completely proved me wrong and that was a good change um okay so but but uh before we talk too much about uh a character art for galadriel yes um you've asked me or at least i have said that i am excited for it yes are you i watching this trailer which um a lot of people online have had a bad reaction to this latest trailer they don't like the music which i can i can see why it's this is the vogue thing in trailers now pop song this this one isn't in a minor key i don't think but it's like woman singing remember i watched it minor 20 minutes ago and i don't remember and a lot of people like this is the wrong music give us lord of the rings music i was okay with that this is the first trailer i've watched i'm like all right i'll let myself be excited um i will let myself be excited i have one major reservation okay which is they are not doing a trailer any of these trailers that show me what the story is yeah and that could be fantastic like that could be a stylistic choice where like we're gonna hit you with what the story is so it can be surprising and that could be wonderful or they could be doing something where they're like we have a whole bunch of cool scenes and we don't have a cohesive narrative and so we're showing you a bunch of cool scenes like this was one of my problems despite you know liking it overall with the the wheel of time adaptation that you know i'm a producer on right um but one of the things i've kind of harped on even talking behind the scenes is you know you need a you need to tell cohesive story um and you know a lot of these side stories distracting from the main story it's like are preventing it from feeling like a cohesive hole to me uh and i'm i'm worried we'll get the same thing with lord of the rings like this latest trailer there's just a hint of maybe galadriel's on you know she's the only one that realizes something dangerous is coming and she's fighting when everyone else is like no it's time to make peace or whatever there might be something there but like what is the story all we know is called rings of power and it's like you know um sauron tricking them with rings yeah but is that second age you're the the last trailer the the one before the new one uh did have an appearance by sauron yes and it was um kind of young attractive sauron which as much as i don't want to see that for gandalf makes a lot of sense with sauron because that's how he first presented himself to the world people thought he was a good guy yes uh that was part of his whole corruptive influence um and so that i think could be a that's a good way of doing this what the story is right yeah we are fighting some more i don't know what it would be in middle earth terms but we are losing we are getting trounced handsome man shows up with with rings that grant superpowers take these rings and grant superpowers and then his you know machinations behind the scenes as he corrupts the kings of men and things go whatever leading up to the war against him that uh that we see the flashbacks to the galadriel talks over and the uh you know with with elrond and the ring getting cut off the finger and stuff like you could do that that's the in some ways low hanging fruit but it's low hanging fruit because that's the movie we kind of want to see yeah that would be great if they do it well i am worried that right like yeah that is a really hard story to tell because you need to have the odd it's dramatic irony right we know sauron's a bad guy you still need to make the characters not feel stupid yes i mean this is basically the story of the prequel movies of star wars and we know how those went right great concept the execution was really hard and i think it turned out poorly um and i'm worried that this is gonna go the same way yeah um it's definitely an issue right like um one of the one of the campaigns that i'm running right now takes place in between hobbit and fellowship okay and so it's in that period uh the the year we're in right now is actually like one or two years before uh frodo's parents get married okay and so during this time saruman is still a good guy he is still working for the common good uh he has not yet been corrupted and it is almost impossible for the players to trust him right because they know that 40 years from now he's going to be a major villain and that is obviously a problem but at the same time we've seen successful liar betrayer characters before like cipher from the matrix comes immediately to mind right but you know that you get introduced to you don't go into the movie knowing cipher's traitor and then when he has his heel turn you're like oh no and then pretty soon after that's true he doesn't spend a long time deceiving them you don't spend seven seasons which they would want to do for this you know they want to do seven eight seasons right uh this is this is you don't pay this much and make this thing without wanting to go on at least for a long time yeah uh so now one thing i have studiously avoided is too much information about what we're talking about i don't actually know i haven't read uh speculation or leaks about what the story will actually be okay um if it were me because the story you're talking about of you know the handing out the rings of power and the corruption and then sauron eventually you know cutting his finger off that's hundreds of years right and so if it were me and that's the story i wanted to tell i would just advance each season 100 years or something along those lines and in that case you need to treat it a little bit like an anthology series where season one needs to have beginning middle and end of a mini story kind of like again lucas had good ideas the whole idea of palpatine's pulling the strings behind this other thing that's happening uh was a good idea you tell the story of you know the liberation of the the conquering and liberation of naboo um the problem is he didn't know how to do that and make it you know not boring yeah unless there was a lightsaber or a pod racing scene going on he didn't know how to make that interesting and you could totally do that this is the story of i don't know uh i don't know my token lore here's all of uh the mother spider's children doing a thing something we gotta do something with the spiders that are going crazy and we're gonna have this big thing and meanwhile you know here's the the introduction of sauron and then season two's like oh no this other thing happening you know there's some mysterious figure we do a full arc on that and then you know season three we put on the rings for the first time or something and i'm a little hazy on the exact timeline and so i don't remember for example if um you know the fall of numenor is that first or second age um there's so much ocean stuff in the trailers that i suspect numenor is still out there that's the island that's off the west coast of what we think of as middle earth it's where aragorn's ancestors are from they're like they're like ubermensch right they're like men who live 150 years and uh yeah yeah and then eventually numenor falls and arnor is created which is the big kingdom west of the misty mountains okay that by the time we get to hobbit and lord of the rings arnor has fallen completely which is why most of that territory is completely empty wilderness okay and there's a very long again couple hundred year story of um basically the two kingdoms of men were arnor and gondor arnor collapsed and uh you know it was the witch king of angmar destroyed all of that um but again i'm a little hazy and i don't remember if that's end of the second age or beginning of the third age i mean there's so much stuff in here yeah that you can tell some really cool stories with uh i don't um i don't blame so to speak like them for making this show this isn't the thing that i look at i'm like like for instance there are people talk there's always perennial talk of let's do more princess bride and i'm like no do not do more princess bread princess bride needs no more uh william goldman has passed away uh this is a perfect little time capsule it's a wonderful movie do not do any more no remakes no sequels no prequels done lord of the rings i'm like tolkien you know this is what he was interested in he gave you encyclopedias of stuff to tell stories about you go ahead and do it there's so many cool things but will they yeah and will it work well and for so much of it it comes down to trust right because for me if somebody gave me the keys to tolkien's car and said go crazy buddy i would i would drive that car like i stole it i would absolutely love to take these stories and make up my own characters and tell a lot of this stuff let's tell about the fall of arnor splitting into the three kingdoms let's tell about you know the men of numenor trying to settle in area door after their island sank like there's so many cool things and they by force will require us to make up new stuff because tolkien wrote a lot of it but he wrote it you know basically as scripture there's a lot of details but there's not a lot of down nitty gritty narrative of it how was tolkien as an influence on you as a writer as a writer yeah i honestly don't think much um i love if there's anything that i have taken from tolkien it is occasionally trying to get fancy with my words like i don't plot the way he plots um i don't i don't character arc the way that he character arcs i will say my kids asked me this a couple of weeks ago who was my favorite character in all of literature and it's absolutely gollum i love gollum i think he has such a tragic and fascinating and wonderful story um there's kind of things that he goes through and so maybe there's some gollum dna and some of the stuff that i write right but other than that uh i i can't really say that i am trying to like i can't point to any specific influences i'm not trying to write like him or or be like him i didn't finish lord of the rings until i was in my 20s really reading it yeah um i read hobbit when i was young and bounced off of lord of the rings and then read it when i was older and could appreciate it um and it's it's really hard to say because my genre in particular much more so than your genres is tolkien's genre yeah he founded epic fantasy and a lot of genres it's really hard to point at and say who started that like horror who started horror right very hard to say even gothic horror yeah who started science fiction is it mary shelley we usually say mary shelley um but there's lots of wiggle room in there where we're like well this and that yeah and you know frankenstein's the first place where it really shows up this whole theme of uh the science being a danger but it whatever we can point at tolkien and say epic fantasy yeah this this he straight up legit created this genre and it's very obvious that you know no one quite knew what to do with it because the next 20 years were very much in his shadow with very tolkien-esque sorts of things and so it's hard to look at my genre and look at any author in it and say oh no i wasn't influenced by tolkien like it's like saying no i was not influenced by henry ford when i built my you know car on the assembly line um yeah maybe not deliberately but he started off that whole thing his influence is there even if we're not it's trying to copy him yeah it's pervasive yeah you're you're playing in a playground that he kind of built like i often point out my career and kind of my generation of epic fantasy writers as a thing that where we were reacting kind of against the tolkienesque right you see a lot fewer elves and things in my uh era because we all had read a whole bunch of terry brooks and things like that and even even the kind of robert jordan in the middle where it started very tolkienesque and then moved out of it sort of sort of 90s epic fantasy the 2000s epic fantasy we're like no no no we're going a different direction but you're still when you're acting against something you are deeply being influenced by it yeah like the only way to not be influenced by it would be to never have read a fantasy book never have participated in the culture that was spawned by fantasy becoming a major best-selling in a part of the industry and then write something of your own and yeah like like some person who grew up i don't know where in a cave underneath a university i was gonna say oxford but that's a really bad one to have no tolkien influences like if all you knew was beowulf yeah and you're like you know what the world needs today like a modern beowulf but totally different and maybe put some goblins in it like that's the best you could come up with and there is no one like that in western europe or us um yeah it's very much that that influences is very strong how i don't know like what what have you done specifically to uh get out from under that shadow or pay homage to that shadow i i wrote an essay early in my career that a lot of people misinterpret um which was how i granted it's my fault right right we were still figuring out how to do click bait what's too far what's not and this is like 2008 i wrote like an article an essay i called how tall can ruin fantasy uh and it was look he was so far ahead of the the the curve that there were we ended up copying him for a long time yeah uh and the basic premise of my essay was we need to do better as a genre at doing using the methods tolkien used rather than the results that came from the methodology that he used right he reached back into mythology and understood why the mythology worked like it did and why it was created and the effect it had on people and then was able to lift from mythology and create his own things to provoke a certain effect in readers um and a lot of what follow them and i don't blame him blame them that's the thing i'm not saying oh look at these hack writers no they were not hacks they were a lot of them were really great writers but it's like we don't know what to do with this so we will use the things he invented elves dwarves and we'll have the same sort of journey quest for a magical object uh the quest for a magical object just was there for so long um that we're we're going to do that and i feel like that became a crutch that in some ways prevented fantasy as a genre from being as imaginative as it could be yeah um and so my philosophy has been all right what did tolkien do not did what he create can you learn from what he did uh because he was a legit genius and he deserved to have an entire genre you know founded based upon his work uh so that's kind of been my philosophy i do think i am deeply influenced by the things tolkien did less so the actual creation that he made yeah that said i mean i published my first book in 2005 when the lord of the rings trilogy as movies had just you know and so i'm sure i was deeply influenced by the cinematography even of those and whatnot so yeah that's a a tricky place to be in i think um i in general i'm very happy with uh the state of fantasy right now i think there's a lot of really interesting new voices coming into it i think it's going in a lot of very cool directions um and maybe this is just me comparing modern fantasy to you know the kind of stuff you and i grew up on which was so tolkien-esque in so many ways and there were definitely um you know melanie ron and people like that who were branching off and doing yeah very different things i mean more [ __ ] is very not tolkien yeah uh very very conan yes in a lot of ways heroic fantasy heroic rather than yeah um but uh you know so so so much really compelling and and really great stuff uh and it seems that the publishing market that the fantasy market today is continuing to expand it's not just settled into a plateau of this is as new or as innovative or as diverse as we need it to get and it's going to stop i don't think that it's done that i think that it is continuing to expand and grow and i think that's pretty cool so where we're arriving is hesitant excitement right yeah um i i might even be passed to the point of hesitant excitement i'm hesitant and you're not you're all good you you just kind of it was the most recent trailer that that allowed you to be excited yeah for me it was the one a few months ago okay and so i my excitement has been building uh this most recent trailer has cemented that and made me think okay yeah i think that they're they're doing this right everything that i've seen and and also just you compare that first trailer which was so bad with what they're doing now and at the very least they are learning from that mistake which is also a very good sign right everything they have filmed by the time of the first trailer is presumably still stuff they have to use yeah uh but they know what they're doing well in the post-production was not done when they filmed that trailer it just yeah knowing what i know of the industry it was absolutely not done it may not have been started which is probably why it looked so wonky uh and why this stuff all looks so good the big shots the big you know the the landscapes that they're doing um the very tail end of the most recent trailer has someone and i don't know who it is telling galadriel that it's time to put down your sword yeah and she says well then who am i to be and that for me i guess is the the the clearest sign of what might be the story or at least what might be her character arc she is eventually going to be the wise sage in lorien right now we're gonna see younger you know kind of butt kicking galadriel instead and i know a lot of purists are gonna be upset about that i am excited because that's a character arc right we're gonna see her struggling against something and then deciding no maybe i need to calm down maybe that takes seven seasons that span a thousand years i don't know how they're gonna do it but could be good we will find out because we will watch it and be back to talk about it yes we will you
