In light of the sad news about Bernard Hill, I feel like we should take a moment to really appreciate the acting performances in the LOTR trilogy. The fact that none of the cast got Academy Awards is well-known and I think even now the sheer visual spectacle of the trilogy can overshadow everything else, but the performances were SO crucial to what made the films great.

It’s easy to take the success of the movies for granted now, but that was never a guarantee. Aside from the practical aspects of portraying such an epic fantasy onscreen, the series is peppered with dialogue that is fine on the page but unbelievably difficult to deliver. As Harrison Ford famously remarked to George Lucas re Star Wars “You can write this stuff, but you can’t say it.”

From Gandalf’s “To the Bridge of Khazad-Dum!” to Elrond’s “It must be cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came!” it would be so easy for the whole thing to collapse into farce. The only reason it doesn’t, is because of the talent and conviction of the actors.

Bernard Hill was tasked with one of the most objectively ridiculous lines in the entire trilogy. “The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time!” And he delivered. BOY, did he deliver. He gave it all the gravitas and emotional weight of Shakespeare, he made it truly rousing instead of ridiculous, he took the audience with him to that moment, that place, right into Middle Earth with its people and its history, and made it REAL.

And for that, I thank and salute him. RIP, sir. Go now to the halls of your fathers. You earned it.

Personally, I just reject it altogether. Din is his first name to me, I don't care what Favreau says.

Right?? Same.

You know what kind of pisses me off?

The fact the show runners thought it would be a good idea to tell us Din was his last name THREE AND A HALF YEARS after the show came out. I get that we didn't even know Mando's name until the very end of season one, but for fuck's sake, why wasn't any effort expended to make sure the fanbase was calling him by his first name?

My theory is that it was a last-minute decision that his given name would be Djarin, and it makes me upset that this was just dropped on people for whom Din has become an important and beloved character. It feels thoughtless and irresponsible. Don't you care enough about your own character to make that clear?

They're like: "Oooh, isn't it fun and exciting that he has a different naming convention? :)))" It would have been fucking NICE TO KNOW THAT THREE YEARS AGO. Now there are thousands of fan works referring to Din by his last name because everybody thought Din was his first name. Millions of people know him as Din.

Also, it then doesn't make sense to me why Bo-Katan calls him Din in season three, because they're trusted friends by the point she starts calling him by name. Why use his last name? He calls her Bo, for fuck's sake.

God of War Take

This is completely unimportant but I simply must vent into the void.

... I hate Kratos x Freya so much, and if you do ship it I don't hate you or think its immoral or whatever. (ship away in peace no hate to you) This is solely because when I rack my brain for good relationships between men and women in video games I struggle to find a single one that is platonic and shown on screen regularly. I want to see more of those, I think its really valuable and good writing to include that kind of a relationship in media!!!!

Also... Kratos and Freya just don't work, Kratos killed her son y'all, I don't care if their friends now, that's the kind of barrier that I don't think one just gets over. It would feel like messy writing to put them together, like, why??? Freya's arc just concluded with her healing from her abusive ex-husband and Kratos is still missing Faye and very much so NOT over her. Again ship away, but personally - dislike it so much. I realize I'm being negative but I just have opinions I felt like screaming into the void.

Anyways ship Atreus and Angrboda, they're cute.

#PREACH MY FRIEND #THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING #like #every single point is exactly the truth #especially about him killing her son #they are FRIENDS #why is that not enough? #kratos #freya god of war #god of war ragnarok
