Man, imagine if it went even HARDER. Like...Tzaran poetry everywhere, Hannah Hoch and (just for shits and giggles) Mark Rothko-inspired artwork lining walls, and hell - let's go wild - John Cage or Paul Lansky!* inspired music on the score, with Hans Richter-inspired statutes lining public areas... *Yes, I know, not Dadaists, but damn if it wouldn't be hilarious!

KingAerys_II Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 12 hours ago, IlyaP said: Yeah quoting random bits of text doesn't impress me dude. Especially not about a genocidal lunatic like Feanor. "For Feanor was made the mightiest in all of body parts and mind, in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding , in skill, in strenght and in subtlety alike , of all Children of Iluvatar, and a bright flame was in him. The works of wonder for the glory of Arda that he might otherwise have wrought only Manwe might in some measure conceive. And it was told by the Vanyar who held vigil with the Valar that when the messenger declared to Manwe the answers of Feanor to his heralds, Manwe wept and bowed his head. But at the last word of Feanor : that at least the Noldor should do deeds to live in songs forever, he raised his head , as one that hears a voice far off, and he said : So shall it be! Dear bought shall those songs be accounted , and yet shall be well bought. For the price could be no other. Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Ea, and evil yet be good have been." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Hbo is working to make an Aegon Conquest tv series, I am sure it's going to be a success, Hbo series portray books content not poor fanfic, that's the difference between Hotd and RoP Edited February 11 by KingAerys_II IlyaP, Prince of the North and Corvinus85 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingAerys_II Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 "..but Galadriel, the only woman of the Noldor to stand that day tall and valiant among the contending princes, was eager to be gone.

KingAerys_II Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Less than fourty percent of the people, that started watching the show,finished it , it means most of the people gave up long before season 1 end. It's a tv series about the most famous fantasy book, it was a failure, things are totally different in Tolkien works, I am only reporting facts about Galadriel that happened before the creation of the rings and shows she was a wise leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
