I can only interpret it as Ron being an unreliable twat. I mean what else is he going to do, searching for the Horcruxes is literally the most important possible task. Always disliked him honestly. I'm Harrymionie til I die. I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left.

I get that it being aimless is the point but as a story that's boring and unsatisfying. I've already been on enough shitty English camping holidays that seemed neverending, that's not what I read/watch fiction for.

The last movie is the highest rated on IMDB and the second-last one of the highest rated, if you look at the reviews you can see people express that view I stated.

>unreliable twat
Except he's not especially in the context of the scene, since despite being significantly injured (severe hypothermia, starvation, crippling injury etc.) he's still with Harry. Harry is the one projecting his fears of abandonment onto Ron. Ron was pretty much always there for Harry and never hesitated to stand up against threats and dangers no matter how scared he might have been.
>I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left
They didn't. Ron left and then because of Hermione's wards couldn't find them despite basically trying to find them immediately after leaving, so he was searching for them for several weeks and came in for the save with the Sword of Gryffindor. Hell, he wanted to stay but Harry literally tells to him to leave repeatedly. Ron's biggest problem in the scene (and it's just realistic relative to such arguments) is that in his frustration and anger, he comes off a lot harsher and provokes a similar response from Harry, and Hermione in this instance was being an utter willow.

Also the movies cut out a lot of scenes and switched up dialogue that was important to Ron's character, resulting in him coming off as more of a prat than in the books.

IMDB is not a reliable source I'm going to be honest, primarily because the number of reviews and so on there are paltry compared to the sheer SIZE of the fandom itself. Almost everyone I knew hated it, even unreasonably so.

I agree that Ron/Hermione wasn't a very good pairing, but neither is Harry/Hermione.

>It's just plant matter and cancer is probably caused by the fucking deathsticks they call cigarettes.
Nicotine is such a deadly neurotoxin that its advised to not use it as a pesticide because its dangerous even if a few drops get on your food plants. Tobacco actually kills soil, literal death plant:
>Tobacco cultivation rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients. Although this may seem to be a strike against it, early settlers quickly discovered that virgin Virginia soil was too rich for successful harvest of traditional European crops, especially cereals. Tobacco broke down the fields and made food crops more productive.

I think the Eye of Sauron is literally the sun. Imagine in ancient times that someone told you the sun was a living being, a god, and he could see you all day while he was up. This is a key part of Abrahamic religion, right? This idea of an all seeing, all powerful entity that punishes.

On top of that, the "Sauron as a king" idea is just that some ancient kings were crowned as "son of the sun", or avatars of the sun itself. It's the Pharaoh.

Now, Tolkien's history with Mordor and Sauron goes to before our recorded history. Morder according to his maps is roughly modern day Romania. The very characteristic mountain range around it makes this clear.

So, what Tolkien is actually saying is that solar worship and the idea that the king is the avatar of the sun started here, and this religion of solar worship essentially led to the evils of empire building, as the above anon explained. It's anti-human.

These proto-Romanians of 5000 BC created the Tartaria tablets, which is proof of their sophistication in that age. They were the products of steppe tribe invasion into Western European agricultural lands. This is probably the story of "Sauron" in LOTR who creates "orc slaves" out of "mud". This is the steppe tribe creating mutts out of the Romanian agriculturalists and turning them into slave soldiers for the empire. Everyone else then had to contend with this mighty economic power.

So, those proto-Romanians are in the same region as Greece and Anatolia. I think they moved southward and into the Mediterranean, and they became the Minoans, the Phoenicians, and the "Egyptians" (King Menes being the first Pharaoh, although some archaeologists believe Egypt existed for thousands of years before this, so King Menes and his descendants maybe didn't build the pyramids). Then, they moved eastward and became or conquered the Sumerians and Babylonians (and Mesopotamia at large). I believe the Babylonians called them Gutians in their age, so it didn't all happen instantly – they didn't conquer the whole world in one swoop.

In the end, it isn't even a single group of people that we can label so much as it is an influence from this ancient period that is felt by many people today, although some people try to claim they descend directly from them. I believe this may be the root of Judaism, but it's also in Hinduism. The whole thing about being the solar avatar is at the root of this all.

>It doesn't take super-vision to see up to the top of a tower, anon. Especially if there's a big, bright object up there.
That's true, but exposure to and use of the ring has also been altering Frodo on a fundamental level. I don't have the text at hand to reference but several times both while wearing the ring and without it Frodo is able to see beyond the physical world to the spiritual one beyond it.

Except the elves were worshipping the sun and moon back before they left the undying lands. The creation of the sun is a pretty significant event in the Silmarillion and is treated unequivocally as a good thing.

>>46263
Some variation of it then. The Black Sun worship could have started there. My understanding of the black sun is that it boils down to solar and lunar eclipses, and it would also probably be associated with comets and anything else that causes hellfire and years of acid rain and black/cloudy skies.

Luke mentions Obi-Wan "fought in the clone wars" so Lucas felt the need to include that.

>>46228
Originally one of the main ideas for the clone wars was: "A group of evil cloners unleash a clone army on the galaxy".

My take was that the clones were an "evil" invading force, rather than the "good guys".

Over all the execution of the clone wars was pretty ok.

After having a two decades to digest ep 1-3, they weren't so terrible. Not as amazing as the original trilogy but ok.

The new stuff just feels like their trying to re make the original plot wiht none of the soul. This made me stop consuming new starwars.

holy shit what the fuck

Wear a mouth guard.

TBH those skaters seem to get into a lot of street fights too, so maybe the teeth loss isn't even from the skateboarding itself.

Are inline skaters welcome? That mobbing from skateboarders in the 00's was devastating.

Not really an issue outside of the US.
