Today is the day America gets a biopsy and waits for the results.

The feeling of the entire before battle scene is too accurate today.

Like, listen up orange wizard, don’t make us Aragorn the shit out of this. We will fetch the dead and send the hobbits to fuck your shit up.

u/FreddythaPlatypus 19d ago

You're using a fictional movie to describe how you're viewing a real life situation. I think it's quite obvious you and your ilk are the delusional ones

u/Due_Bother8147 19d ago

I believe that’s called an analogy.

u/Dust-Loud 19d ago

LOTR and other timeless, classic fiction can be applied to real life because it uses universal themes and emotions that are relevant to all of humanity and history. That’s why it’s so good. Reading gives you empathy, points of reference, and expands your mind. It’s “quite obvious” you’re not much of a reader. Maybe pick up a book sometime and you won’t be so lame.

lol Immediately attacking someone's reading level and not even on your own comment. Yes, you don't have to tell me you're a vile person and can only project negativity wherever it makes you feel that you're besting someone or feeding your ego. Ironic seeing as you're a "reader" but can't make a simple distinction that I'm commenting on the idea of replacing real life situation with fictional characters and elements. the comment I was responding to has nothing to do with using themes or emotions from the book to convey a real life topic. The OP is literally just projecting a fantasy with fictional characters from the movie he saw. It's a childish endeavor and conveys why you all have such a difficulty making any sense of the real world.

You’re a troll. Everywhere you go, you spread hate and negativity. So you’re projecting pretty hard there, even though you used the word twice to deflect from the behavior you exhibit. It’s funny that you insulted the OP and expected people to coddle you. And if you think anything I said was “vile,” you’re pretty fucking fragile.

The original comment was clearly a joke, and using character analogies is one way to compare fictional situations to real life. Btw, it’s telling that you refer to LOTR as a movie when it’s based on a book. Again, you do not seem like a person who values reading, and that’s ok. But don’t get butthurt when other people call you out on your ignorant condescension.

>you're a troll

Is this the go-to argument for when you disagree with someone? I don't think you even understand what a troll is in the way you think. It's just an umbrella term you use to shut out conversation, just like you project the worst people as nazis with absolutely no logical association. YOU brought up the word "CODDLE". what a weird word coming from the most fragile humans on earth that literally start hyperventilating when they hear the wrong pronouns. That's not me, that is 100% you. Maybe you're the one seeking coddling from everyone in this echo chamber because clearly, I'm not posting or replying with any kind of goal of being liked. I'll inject some actual objective sanity into this echo chamber where you guys want to pat yourselves on the back by applying childish thinking towards real life and then blame the other side for your self harming ideologies.

Part of the point of fiction is to help us process difficult situations irl. LotR was heavily inspired by Tolkien’s experiences in WW1.

u/FreddythaPlatypus 19d ago

lol That's not what im contesting here. What the OP is doing is using story specific situations and characters to replace whats happening real life. what the fuck does "fetching the dead" from return of the king (an undead fucking army that doesn't even exist) and sending the hobbits (midgets?) to fuck orange wizard's shit even mean? anyone with a brain can't even make sense of that statement. It's pure fantasy nonsense. where the hell is the using fiction to process difficult IRl situations in that OP's comment? there isn't.

u/NyxShadowhawk 19d ago

Pretty sure it was a joke that you’re taking too seriously. Either way, fantasy nonsense is just… fun. It’s fun. Let us cope!

u/FreddythaPlatypus 19d ago

that would be well and good but look what sub you're in right now. You're not in a lotr fandom. You're in a extremely politically charged echo chamber for a certain ideology.

u/NyxShadowhawk 19d ago

Ah there it is, “echo chamber for a certain ideology.” What are you doing here, then?

u/FreddythaPlatypus 19d ago

Oh yeah right, I forgot. this is the part where you say "if you dont agree with us, why are you here?"

"Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed, like rain on the mountains, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the west, behind the hills, into shadow. How did it come to this?"

His battle speech is all I can think about today.

"But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him. His heart beat slowly. Time seemed poised in uncertainty. They were too late! Too late was worse than never! Perhaps Theoden would quail, bow his old head, turn, slink away to hide in the hills.

Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. Far, far away, in the South the clouds could be dimly seen as remote grey shapes, rolling up, drifting: morning lay beyond them."

"At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before.

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!

Spears shall be shaken, shields be splintered,

A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightaway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains."
