    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    After I posted that I did a little research and found a fun coincidence. The estimated publishing years of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, where we find the earliest accounts of most of the Arthurian canon, and de Troyes' Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart are 1136 and 1181 which...

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    No, I'm still upset about de Troyes putting his ridiculous Gary Stu self-insert Lancelot into Arthurian stories. If you have no respect for the canon don't write it!

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    I feel like this show is best viewed through the same framing device as Tolkien first wrote it, it's myth. Tolkien translated the Red Book of Westmarch and several other fragmentary passages. Payne, McKay, et al then later translate something let's call "On The Rings of Power" and some of this...

    [+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

    Last time, you said Bilbo’s front door was blue, and you said Thorin had a gold tassel on his hood, but you’ve just said that Bilbo’s front door was green, and the tassel on Thorin’s hood was silver

    Sandman Trailer (and Neil Gaiman commentary)

    Through episode 2 and the only particular disappointment is I feel they got too much into "gotta make this character sympathetic for some reason", particularly in ep 1. Like I think Roderick Burgess can just suck as a person, he doesn't need a dead son to "wrong kid died" Alex to being more...

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out The D&D Movie's Cast -- In Costume!

    I believe some features were more subtle too. Stuff like "smell of brimstone follows you around" and "eyes flash red when angry" might not scan on a poster as well.

    Captain America doesn't trade lives* *Not trading lives only applies to named characters, trading the lives of thousands of Wakandans is fine actually.

    Dr Strange 2: In the Multiverse of Madness (Spoilers)

    Technically there could be any number of futures where they win but Doctor Strange doesn't make it, but of course he can't be sure of that. See the Ancient One saying "I've spent so many years peering through time, looking at this exact moment. But I can't see past it." in the first Dr. Strange.

    Ms Marvel (spoilers)

    If I were to write out of this I'd make Kamala's great-grandmother have also explicitly turned on the rest of the Clan Destine group because the option to return would endanger Earth causing them to turn on Kamala immediately when she questioned the safety of it.

    Critical Role EXU: Calamity Discussion (Spoilers)

    Zemniaz crashed as well, giving the Zemni fields their name, and I think Kethesk partially crashed before the remnants became Draconia and crashed later. Those two plus Aeor are the only flying cities we had heard of before this series added Avalir and Lathras (the city Aeor is planning to run a...
