RIVER CARTWRIGHT ● Slow Horses S02E05

once upon a time; the only tv show brave enough to ask "exactly how fucked up can we make a family tree without including any actual incest?"

Slow Horses + River Cartwright always having the worse day

Tolkien: “Sauron was a victim of Morgoth’s corruption who, then, got high on power trips. When his master was defeated, he truly regretted everything that he has done, but was too proudful to return to Aman in humiliation and face the judgement of the Valar. He wanted to heal Middle-earth and create perfect order and harmony between its people but his bounds to Morgoth were too strong, and he fall back into evil (= became a tyrannical dictator). BTW, Gandalf with the One ring would have been far worse than Sauron himself.” 

Dudebros: “Sauron is the Satan of Tolkien lore!” 

Tolkien: “Galadriel is a proudful and power-hungry elf princess with a “Amazonian disposition” who wanted her own kingdom on Middle-earth. She rebelled against the Valar, and got banished from Valinor for it. Her character arc in “Lord of the Rings” is that of a “repentant sinner”. She’s only pardoned and allowed to return to Valinor after she resists Frodo’s offering her the One ring on the Third Age.” 

Dudebros: “Galadriel is the Virgin Mary of Tolkien lore!” 

“You are shipping Satan with the Virgin Mary, you blasphemous heretics!”  No, we are not.

You really should stop calling these idiots “lorebros” because the “lore” isn’t in the room with us.
