redshirt posted:The book makes it much clearer how dangerous it is. No it loving doesn't. "It's a ring that makes you invisible and corrupts you, also it exerts power over the other rings in some nebulous way". Big fuckin' whoop. Now let's all sit around and sing songs every twenty pages!

Rad Gravity posted:Well that and it lets you impose your will on others, particularly orcs and such I think, so you get to have massive armies and set yourself up as the new dark lord. Or if you're a hobbit you get to make massive gardens and be the lord of pipeweed. Sauron imposed his will on the orcadorks easily cause he's a big flaming-eye motherfucker that's a magician and the King of Mordor and poo poo. Plus, like, zillions of un-ringed dudes have armies, poo poo ain't special in Lordathurangs. Tarragon spends half the series waving his broken sword at dudes and they just fall in line. Gandalf just kinda shows up at places and goes "poo poo is going down" and there's armies and eagles helping him. Hell, Merry and Pippin smoke some weed with a tree and end up with an army of ents. loving ring does NOTHING, tell ya whut. And Gandalf's a confidence trickster in a hat.
