I was watching The Two Towers again for the, let's say second, time and got fixated on that one orc that ran the flaming torch into the bomb and blew up the walls. The guy is a hero. He runs at this fortified enemy position and is shot to hell with arrows but he just keeps going - knowing that he will die in the attempt. If it weren't for the last minute bullshit of Gandalf showing up that guy would have won the battle. In any other movie that guy would have gotten a touching send off with his friends tearfully trying to talk him out of it. Saruman would have laid a fatherly hand on his shoulder and said "Thank you Grumbuk, for your sacrifice. It shall not be in vain." Later in the movie Lurtz would have looked back and said "For Grumbuk" before his heroic final charge. We should have gotten at least a 5 minute backstory for him. For Grumbuk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vvJZaXZPZk

I’m still disappointed that there was never a spinoff series from the 1970’s Sid & Marty Krofft show (Land of the Lost) where Chaka and Holly got married and give birth the origins of the Neanderthal race of early man. Chaka never got his due. He was an instrumental character in the show (he was showing great signs of rapid evolution due to environmental influence) but was continually held back as a minor player who deserved more recognition and story development. Hell, even Enoch had more story development than Chaka.

drat I thought I'd gotten the last thread ever for a minute and it was a really phoned in and milquetoast one. That would have been just so perfect.Displeased Moo Cow posted:the books take a tree of pulp to print I'm sure all the back story you want is in there. That guy isn't in the books. There's nothing in the Appendixes or The Silmarillion or The Children of Hurin or any of the 13 Volumes of The History of Middle Earth. What do you think I just make these threads without doing my due diligence?

I know that guy. He used to feed orc orphans the skin off his knees when all they had to eat was the baby mud they were born in. This guy was for LGBTQ orc rights long before Saruman popularized it. He was active in four non-profits doing PR drives at no cost. He was loved by all his orc friends and comrades. What the humans did was a war crime.

Because I've watched it, probably 100, and I loving love the Berserker Olympic orc. Somewhere, there's a drunk orc crying of the loss of that madlad.

Basically the only worthwhile character from the new Star Wars trilogy was that ape that fixes Kylo Ren's mask in the third one and it should get its own trilogy.

The Moon Monster posted:Basically the only worthwhile character from the new Star Wars trilogy was that ape that fixes Kylo Ren's mask in the third one and it should get its own trilogy. Captain Phasma (the shiny stormtrooper) had a cool look and was named after Phantasm, so naturally you'd expect her to do something cool. She doesn't at all. This is a character who should have little shiny metal robotic spheres she launches from her armor. She should be at least a cool fight or a memorable moment or maybe just something where she takes off her helmet and she's got a cool scar or she's a skull head or something. But she's killed off in such an awkward way that they had to go online and say "No, she's dead for real." because it was so unclear in the movie. Close second is the gremlin in Gremlins who's presumably making all the tiny costumes for the other Gremlins. What is this characters story? What is their origin? I need to know.

I think Shelob as a sexy lady with goals and complex plans is a good idea. Her mother is one of the most powerful entities in the backstory. She was a partner of the setting's biggest bad-guy, not some tamed monster. Even the lesser giant spiders from The Hobbit are clearly sentient and smart. It really makes no sense for her to be content to sit in a cave and feed on goblins forever and ever. Taking on a different shape others would be willing to speak to isn't a new trick in this setting, either. If anything, that version/a similar version needs to come back as a main character of a better game.

I want to see what the butterfly from the last unicorn is doing behind the scenes and how much that many drugs cost him. It has to be a dark as hell urban magical realism story to be marketable but I bet we can do it.

Stallone's character from Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Stakar Ogord, and his crew. They set up that they're going to do something in one of the end credits scene, but that was the last time they were seen or mentioned. Give me a Ravagers movie before Stallone and the rest are too old.
