The stories are like 60 years apart right? Imagine having your old uncle's cock ring passed down to you that he had worn for 60 years. There are many reasons that Tolkien stuck with finger rings, clearly.
0:02 When on a tour/trip of a college a few years ago I really hit it off with one of my classmates as we talked about Lord of the Rings and how the One Ring was probably actually a resizable cock ring, and that's how Sauron could wear it in tower form. Would explain why it heats up and vibrates.
@@djinndusk4696 a decent theory, however, altho english is my second language im pretty sure that if you put an s at the end of a word, with the purpose of denoting that its a plural, youre not supposed to use a '.
It was a bit they did on stream. I don’t remember how it came up, but they realized Tom had a Ben puppet for a project that didn’t happen, and then after a break we were graced with puppet Ben!
Even as a kid that fucking scene annoyed me so much. "You wat? You just casualy kill the big bad by chopping off his dumb fingers from his dumb slow moving hand because for some dumb reason he wants to grab you?" I dont mind sauron getting defeated, and I know they wanted to get through that ball ache to start the actual story, but come on, give the big bad a more ceremonious death, so it doesn't feel like an unsatisfying cop out even to a 10 year old...
Originally the scene in Return of the King where Aragorn fights a troll thing at the big final battle was supposed to be (and was actually filmed) Aragorn vs Sauron. It was scrapped because they didn't want to make it feel like that was Aragorn's personal battle, where it was Frodo's. Maybe that original battle would've had a cooler death scene for ol' Sauron. I've always wondered that myself, since the troll just runs away when Barad Dûr explodes
In the books that didn't happen that way, he is defeated and (temporarily) killed by the combined effort of Gil-Galad and Elendil, and Isildur then cuts the Ring from Sauron's hand with the shard of Narsil. But the ring takes Isildur in its power and convinces him not to destroy it, ignoring the protests of Círdan and Elrond. So yeah, it was a massive cop-out, I would have wanted to see that epic battle between Sauron and Elendil and Gil-Galad. Also, the movies left out something else that was in the books and is a bit of character assassination of Isildur, the reason he was travelling north to where he was ambushed and killed was that he intended to deliver the Ring to Elrond, as he realized that the Ring was evil and corrupting him, so it needed to be dealt with, which is why the ring betrayed him. The ring also drew the orcs to him, since it attracts corrupted things, even if they don't realize it. He's a more tragic character in the books than he was in the films.
