Would rather fight ten Saurons than TROP Elrond

Sauron will make your death slow and painful, sure. He'll get off on your pain and misery, it's fine.

But Elrond rolls up to battle, instantly declares he'll straight up kill himself and his own King and then, while restrained by four enemies, somehow sets a random dude on fire and chokes out another with his bare hands

IF YOU'RE LUCKY, that is how he ends your life.

If you're not lucky, he manifests a trebuchet and launches your screaming ass into a castle wall

Like, Sauron's bloodlust is at least fueled by some kind of logic. He wants order, he wants control of Middle Earth. If you accidently break a quill Elrond wanted to use he will make you die a death so brutal it'll make an orc throw up

Don't fight Elrond.

"Like, Sauron's bloodlust is at least fueled by some kind of logic" as opposed to Elrond's xDDDD

[anariel-the-elrond-apologist-de]

How have @elrondapologist and I not found each other before?

[elrondapologist]

*gasp* another Elrond apologist, hi!!! The more the merrier! I've read some of your fics, they were great :D.

Man Arondir and Gil-Galad both snatched some sort of weapons from the orcs when they escaped during the whole “dwarves” bit but Elrond just. Snapped that orc’s neck. Fought viciously to get a torch to attack with five minutes ago but in a situation where a weapon is objectively easier to acquire he said “Nah I’m throwing hands” and won

*Annatar giving Celebrimbor Feanor's hammer*

Feanor in Mandos: *Senses a disturbance in the air* "Who the fuck is touching my shit again!?"

. . .

Side note: Feanor is the type of guy that hated ANYONE touching his stuff, children and wife included.

[mcpayne]

Celebrimbor: *removes a gem from the hammer to use as the gem in one of the Nine*

Fëanor: *wakes up in a cold sweat* MY HAMMER!

Fëanor's statue: *falls over*

Fëanor: *screams like a little girl* MY STATUE!!!

Still not ok after RoP finale RoP 8 spoilers .

.

.

I know the episode was kind of tightly packed because of many plots coming together (and I liked the episode a lot) but why for Valar's sake none of the elves commented on Celebrimbor's fate at the end??? I was honestly so disturbed when I realised it. All those talks and trying to get to him and Elrond having Celebrimbor's fate in his hands and so on and so on and then he asks on screen only about scrolls? (I mean I loved it but sir Celebrimbor's tower is JUST THERE-)

[elrondapologist]

Does someone else feels the final episode (RoP 8) had some genuinely hilarious moments? I was not sure if they did it on purpose, but everybody looking at the horse after his name was dropped? I stoped the show and LAUGHED-

[trees-of-valinor]

Ngl, I cackled when Galadriel was on her death bed and GG went: "I've never known you to be such peaceable company" 💀

[raointean]

This nerd, I swear-

[elrondapologist]

Not asking about Celebrimbor and throwing away the life of his king so lightly is maniac actually and I love it for him xD

RoP episode 8 SPOILERS Adar thoughts, ideas and a little critique

I am a little disappointed about Adar's death. I've expected it from the storytelling point of view; it would probably be hard for show writers to develop his character further. It felt a little like his goals were being met, he did what he could have, there was nothing more he could have added to the story. BUT I actually think that was not the case. Watching this season I generally felt like the show seriously lacks background characters. I know they generally made a mistake of adding too many plots (or at least I think that and I saw some people agreeing with this take) and it all felt rushed at moments. I think it impacted the whole show... But again. Hear me out. For me - introducing background characters, adding to the cast of existing names - greatly hepls at making the world come _alive_. I know we all watch the show for people we know (I am, after all, elrondapologist) but I think we also watch to see Middle Earth come alive on screen. And I think I greatly felt the loss of our character having _lives_. Why are we not seeing Elrond/Gil-Galad/Galadriel having close friends and asssociates outside of themselves? Doesn't Gil Galad has a favourite attendant to whom he smiles tiredly, doesn't Elrond at least have a friend or two, doesn't Galadriel clasp hands in a warrior greating with somebody who fought beside her in the past? (I know we get Camnir and Rian and Vorohil - but they were just there. No relations. No background stories. No obvious friendships. No obvious smiles) It is hard to do, I know. But without that it is hard to believe those elves lived _thousands_ of years. I yearn for that. BUT for the third time: Adar was a great exception in that. He was not a background character, but an OC - an OC who shined because he seemed so alive in this world. And it was because of his relations to others - to orcs, to other elves, to the lore. We would not feel we know Adar if not for Glug, for his strange comments to Elrond, mentions of long life and torment. It would be _hard_ to continue his story, but not impossible. And I feel like maybe, just maybe showrunners should have tried. Maybe he deserved a redemption arc. Adar could develop into something magnificent (someone remembers Ashoka from Star Wars Clone Wars? That case scenario). It's a loss, really. RIP Adar. And thank to actors - they were amazming, especially Sam Hazeldine. Thanks for your hard works.

Elrond setting an orc on fire for desecrating the lore might be the hottest thing he’s ever done.
