Lord of the Rings Is Saved

With much trepidation did all of us on the side of the good, true and the beautiful see the coming of the hellmouth’s latest abomination. Amazon’s The Rings of Power felt like the ultimate sullying of a true classical work. Worse we felt powerless to stop the bog stench garbage bath that was coming. But sometimes evil falls into its own trap.

We all knew how much vandalization was going to be committed, but I think we all underestimated just how poorly made this billion dollar project would be. Generations of evil have degraded our enemies to the point that they can’t even graffiti properly anymore. Like a gang of tramps stamping a wall with watered paint that disappears in the tsunami around the corner is the Ring of Powers to Amazon.

There once was a time where Hollywood was completely degenerate, yet also capable of stealing components from artists and writers' work while sometimes simply stealing them. I’m sure they made some of their screenplays. The trashier ones. Still, regardless of the methods the earlier slave overlords with small hats made their garbage palpable to the average mass of stupid that is humanity.

Rings of Power marks a change in all this. Have things slowly degraded so that Marvel shovels nothing but horse manure without all the flavored styling the brand once had to make these movies consumable? Yes. However, the average man couldn’t see it. Here the Overton Window is shattered by a swinging pendulum of holy retribution.

Not even the stupid think Rings of Power is any good or even entertaining. No one is even claiming a “It’s so bad it’s good” title for the hogslop shuffled into our T.V. shaped troughs this time. That is what saved Lord of the Rings. Yes, this time the fans were very prepared for the moves of the enemy, but that wouldn’t have been enough if the latest generation of small hats could steal ideas properly like their “writer” fathers could.

People forget that the middle almost smart midwit stupids are the majority, and we live in their tyranny till enough weight tips the scale hovering over the Overton Window. We just watched the stone fall. No one, not even the midwit, will be able to claim Hollywood is where entertainment is made now. 

Oh there will be hold outs. They will be dragged away by the current of the crowd where they will claim that they had been there all along, and what took you all so long to figure this all out? Since The Rangz of Power is not only mocked, but ignored by even the stupids, Lord of the Rings is saved because the vandalization didn’t reach the global general consciousness or feeling of the culture. The heart of the grander culture whose memory can affect generations to come.

Without that the vandals fail. Spectacularly at that with billions down the drain. This will be more than a win for Lord of The Rings. Just like how Souron thought he had claimed his coveted foe when Aragorn lead his tiny army up to the gates of Morder, so did Amazon think they’d finally won the Holy Grail of culture desecration. 

Both were destroyed in a trap they could’ve never conceived as the everyman in both stories tosses the ring into the fire. Both powers are broken.

Sure, like with Suraman having a fang left the Hellmouth will still get a few bites in, but it’s over. They’ve lost the culture. Soon all of Hollywood will be ignored just like the Rangz of Power, and more natural alternatives will take its place if we have anything to say about it. 

So take the win gents. God smacked the Hellmouth’s degenerates right into the pit they'd dug for Tolkien’s legacy. Our kids will remember the books, and never know the dreaded words of Amazon’s The Rings of Power.
