i watch people react to the lotr movies on youtube sometimes - just for my personal relaxation - and this one guy just said "maybe this is presumptuous but why can't they just make a new, even stronger ring that controls all the other ones plus the one ring?" and, holy shit. why don't they just keep making even stronger rings. apart from all the lore and storytelling reasons for why that's not possible under those specific circumstances, i wanna send a complete stranger the wikipedia article for "arms race" so so so fucking badly 😂

#i won't but the temptation is present 😂 #posts by me #you're american my dude!! your country did that with nuclear bombs!! #can you imagine. maybe if tolkien had been writing lotr during the cold war it could have been this #the council gets together and makes the ring 2.0 (i guess they find celebrimbor's old blueprints in a dusty old box somewhere) #and then obviously sauron the maia for technology in absentia of the vala for technology (rip to a real martyr for science) #is like ohoho watch THIS. and immediately produces the ring 2.1 #amazing. buffoonery
