Something is brewing up ☕☕......😗😗

"As seen on" (EN: English)

Help me out here, friends: I have these figurines that I’ve kept in the packaging for a while, but I feel like, with my current display of my PPG stuff, I should just take them out and get rid of the packaging. Part of me feels like this would be a violation of their Collector Potential, but I’ve also seen the episode Collect Her and, like… who cares about that???

So, that said…

Summary: A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers embark on an epic quest to retrieve a long lost relic, but their charming adventure goes dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

Release Date: March 31, 2023

Directors: Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley

Rating: PG-13

I went in with mid-tier expectations due to the early trailers being meh, but it ended up being one of my favorite films of 2023! There are so many genuinely laugh-out-loud moments, the cast is phenomenal, and it’s wildly entertaining from start to finish. So if you’ve been avoiding this film due to low expectations, I’d definitely recommend checking it out!

Ok so here is my summary of how to be a successful Ringbearer:

First and most obviously: how good a character would be at travelling to and within Mordor without getting caught. The skill here is mostly not going to be fighting but stealth and disguise (Frodo and Sam dress as orcs for a while). Hiding from the Ringwraiths at the start of the story and staying under the radar as they get closer to Mordor - but by then at least Sauron and the Ringwraiths will be distracted by the war. There's also the matter of knowing how to get into Mordor or convincing Gollum to bring them there.

Second: resisting the Ring's temptation. The more powerful you are in your own right, the more it would have to work with to tempt you. Gandalf, for example, says "With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still greater and more deadly… I do not wish to become like the Dark Lord himself… The wish to wield it would be too great for my strength." And then Galadriel saye she would become "a Queen… beautiful and terrible… All shall love me and despair!"

Whereas the ring has less to work on with less powerful / more humble characters like the hobbits. The Ring works more on tempting them into revealing themselves to the Ringwraiths. Frodo struggles not to put it on every time they come near him, but it doesn't give him the idea that he could defeat Sauron and rule Middle Earth in his place. When Sam carries the Ring for a short while, it offers him vast gardens and realms, which he quickly dismisses as ridiculous.

And there's one final wrench in the works (spoilers from here on): even Frodo "failed" in the end. When he reached Mount Doom - where Sauron and the Ring's power are at their strongest - even he was unable to resist claiming the ring for himself and refusing to destroy it. According to Tolkien no one could have chosen to destroy it there. The ring was only destroyed because Gollum stole and then fell into the volcano. So in order to succeed a character must be able to feel pity for / be merciful to Gollum when they catch him following them.

This is awesome, thanks so much!

I can't guarantee I'll actually like. finish these. But, I'd like to eventually (key word there being "eventually" alskdjf) add some other fandoms besides Knight Squad to my icon page ✨💖
