Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 351294" data-attributes="member: 2020">50 reasons the film FOTR stinks!(under construction, of course)  #1:  If hobbits eat Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Tea, Dinner, and Supper, and if they sleep a reasonable 8 to 9 hours a night, then just exactly WHEN do they do anything else? (they must be Boggies, ala Bored of the Rings!)  #2:  How can hobbits be so well fed and prosperous when they lack any of the machines and science necessary to be well fed and prosperous?    #3:  Why is it that elves do not eat?  Or, if they do, why are their crops invisible?  #4:  Why must the elves and dwarves INSIST on hostilities to each other, two Ages after the Ruin of Doriath, when there is an actual real enemy out there trying to kill them?  #5:  It just isn't fair that the foul orcs and goblins get immortality (coming from elves), and poor humankind gets mortality.  It isn't a wonder Numenor revolted against and finally assaulted Valinor over the matter!  #6:  Saruman bred humans and orcs into Uruk-Hai.  He would have produced immortal human-types, given more time.  That's the REAL reason Gandalf was out to stop him.  We must not let mankind gain immortality!  #7:  To most of the people of Middle Earth, Sauron was the rightful Lord and Master of the Earth.  Only a few, pathetic rebels disagreed.  Elves skulking in woods (and soon departing Middle Earth anyways.)  Some dwarves hiding in caves.  Some renegade human towns.  And the Numenorians, of course, but they were brainwashed by the elves in the First Age.  Just who is Gandalf to mount a rebellion against the rightful rule of Sauron, using this rabble as his base?  Heck, even the head of Gandalf's own ORDER agreed that Sauron was the rightful Lord and Master of the Earth.  The vast majority of the people of Middle Earth honored and respected Sauron the Great.  #8:  Why trust a Hobbit to do a Man's job?  Much less a Maia's?    If Gandalf was so out to destroy Sauron, why didn't he do it himself, and not pawn the job off on a poor, hapless hobbit? (even if that hobbit was the best hobbit in the Shire.)  #9:  Why didn't Gandalf just agree with Saruman - that Sauron was the Lord and Master - then sneak out when he had the chance?  Nothing like dissing your superior, then choosing to fight him when you know you have no chance of winning.  Like that was going to help Frodo.  #10:  Why didn't the Ringwraiths kill Sam, Merry, and Pippin when they had the chance (when their Lord was cornering Frodo) ?  After all, anyone caught working with the Thief of the One Ring, rightfully Sauron's, deserved to be put to the sword.  To be continued!  (maybe)</blockquote>
