The campaign of the first one is pretty short (once you figured out good strategies for your people’s survival).

Fascism is the logical endpoint of capitalism. Just look up the largest German companies, then what they did between 1933 and 1945.
The rich will be fine for a bit longer. But once economies collapse, even their money will be worthless. How long until their private security people realize who holds the real power?
From a world power to needing soldiers from North Korea to keep a war running. Russia has proven to be a joke of a country. Not a good one though.
Yes, by Saruman who tried to create a new Mordor.
I get why it’s not in the movies, but all the hobbits turning into absolute badasses after their homes are threatened was amazing to read.
The Shire was unprotected. Sauron is not going to waltz up to one of the last Elven strongholds because someone speaks Mordor. But he might send a bunch of orcs when someone uses it in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden.
Also, the man’s outfit is skimpier than the woman’s. Not something you see very often.
And that’s probably one of the more harmless things he said. He literally praised the Tianmen massacre for example.
Trump is pretty much the poster child for every single negative cliché about US-Americans, it’s wild.
As a villain in a movie script, he would have been rejected as being too many evil stereotypes stuffed into a single person.
I really liked that aspect and kinda wish all Mad Max movies had been framed that way. That would certainly explain why Max is a very different man in Fury Road. (Hardy played him as traumatized loner, while Gibson always managed to give him a wry sense of nihilist humour.)
Yeah, that was weird and smelled like a studio mandate (remind people once more that this is a prequel!).
Execs call that “next CEO’s problem” while they plan how to spend the money from their golden parachutes.
I agree and I would even say that a crucial moment in Return of the King works better in the theatrical version and should be experienced first like this. (The arrival of the pirates to the battle of Minas Tirith.)
I really like my water pillow.
Yeah, “scientists believe” is a contradiction in itself. Scientists hypothesize, theorize or know, or they wouldn’t be scientists.
This is the guy that’s largely responsible for reality TV taking over all channels Discovery owns, so yeah. This was sadly to be expected.
Well, maybe not wizard typecast, but typecast to play much older than he was. He was only 63 when he first played Gandalf. To put in in perspective, that’s only one year older than Tom Cruise is right now.
Sounds a lot like Avengers, a good 10 hour campaign weighed down by grindy bullshit.
Fun fact: McKellen was asked to play Dumbledore after Richard Harris passed but he declined because he didn’t want to be typecast.
Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take!
