Not at all, I'll DM you when I get to work later.

The way a certain type of guy worships Fëanor needs to be studied... it'll be a short study.

He wanted her hair (and you just know he didn't ask for it in the way e.g. Gimli asked), how is that NOT giving creepy uncle vibes?

REAL. I had similar thoughts about the cast 😂

(I'm also kinda annoyed that people like Andrew Scott were severely underused but never mind, because he was playing an arsehole anyway!)

My emails were very quiet for all of July and half of August. It was great!

(Also sorry to disappoint, but wives and mothers can and do have stuff going on outside their marriage and/or kids, so she can do both of those things AND still kick Sauron in the face.)

(I'm not even coming at this from a shipper POV btw, before anyone thinks that. But if you think the show isn't gonna have her still trying to help take down the main antagonist, whether you like the ship or not, I think you're gonna be disappointed if you hope she won't be directly involved!)

The WAY some people (read: mainly men) are essentially saying she needs to go sit doing fuck all in a nightie until the Third Age now.

Don't worry, she can still be involved and Elendil and Gil-galad will get their heroic sacrifice moment. Both can be true. Use your imaginations ffs.

Yeah, some of this was discussed extensively because a certain demographic was uncritically worshipping him for those two Avengers films...

I finish on the Friday before Christmas but have already mentally written off that whole week because so many calendars are marked for annual leave from the Friday before 😂

From tomorrow I am very much a "let's discuss this in January" person because c'mon, it's December. Half my colleagues are gonna start fucking off from about 10th December never to be seen again until 5th January.

This is very much aimed across the aisle btw. Every fandom has these people.

For me, a key theme overall was the human susceptibility to following the crowd and allowing greed/temptation to rule your life. The church was just a vehicle for that for some characters. The critique is more about power structures (which affect non-believers too!)

I'm trying to be as vague as I can, but it's definitely not one of those "look how dumb all these people are" critiques of religion. There is certainly some critique, but not aimed at the idea of having faith itself. There's one pivotal scene (involving Jud and a phone call) that was very touching.

Will be worth it! Enjoy ❤️

Including Blanc, a thorough non-believer essentially encouraging Jud to remember his calling. And there's more I could say about that, but it's a huge spoiler, so I won't!

The heart of these films is definitely whichever character gets paired with Blanc, and pleased to say it worked again.
