This diatribe of mine is less just about LOTR, and more about the dilemma of adaptations as the dominant IP production method of global visual media now. (A thread 🧵)

Perhaps this is the harsh truth: at this point, facilitated no less by people who never really cared about Tolkien beyond using his flaws to shore up the very voices of Mordor in the real world, criticism of this work will remain associated in bad faith. (cont.)

(The same is already occuring with #HouseOfTheDragon, yet perhaps it's story, attuned as it is to a post-20th century world--not to mention the still living author--is more amiable to it). [Cont.]

'Abolish #AustraliaDay': Captain Cook statue covered in 'blood' by vandals au.yahoo.com/news/abolish-a… <--- "Blood." This like so many stories now. Seemingly isolated act by "lone wolf" vandals. MSM "reports" on it. IMO it's orchestrated (at arm's length) by #Cabal for comms.

Another blog post about allusion to hidden trade that I think has so much to do with current madness. matthaydenblog.com/2022/01/buffed…

Hunger Games X Bnha Bakudeku Omegaverse Au

Rewatched all the movies over the weekend and now I can’t get this out of my head.

District Twelve - Katsuki is an alpha male who grew up as a merchant son of alpha Mitsuki and omega Masaru. His family owned and ran the only fabric/clothing store in town. Of course Katsuki wasn’t all the interested in it, instead spending his time studying and wanting to move

From his district to another, possibly the fourth district or something. But then he met omega Izuku Midoriya and all his plans changed.

Izuku was a Seam male omega, but he was only half seam. His mother had moved from the seventh district with her family when she was younger.

Re-watching some shows while #socialdistancing for #MarchBreak? We're chatting this week about some of our favourites that have great #geology or interesting stories behind their #filminglocations.

#GameofThrones used #Iceland's #Thingvellir Park as the #BloodyGate. Its landscape is caused by the Eurasian and #NorthAmerican tectonic plates meeting there and pulling apart at a rate of 2 cms per year. This made a rift valley: low land between 2 separating continents.

#MagheramorneQuarry, #NorthernIreland, is the set for #CastleBlack and #TheWall in #GameofThrones. The quarry wall is used as a backdrop and effects make it look huge.
The site's limestone was used to make cement. #NS has a limestone quarry and cement plant in Brookfield.
