Its one of sci-fi's greatest sneak disses on feminism and feminized men.>an emotional female calls for a superior race of beings to come conquer earth "for our own good">a feminized humanity hands the most important job in the solar system to a woman, because we have pretty men now>said female is handed the most important job to keep humanity's enemy at bay and she fails within 10 minutes of having the job. a man held the same job before her for 50 years and forgot how to talk because he took his job so seriously>that same woman takes back control of her company from a more than capable man so that he wouldn't work on a tech that could save most of humanity>said woman then is saved by the same tech she tried to stifle and gets to be counted as one of the last representatives of humanity>a simp who just happened to accidently get stuck with her at the end of the world tries to let her off the hook for her failures. at least we can farm and fuck comfortably in our own universe for the next 10 years amirite!Women and simps will be the downfall of humanity just wait and see.

As a film fan, I've always loved Gandalf as a character, but ever since I began reading the LOTR a little over a month ago, my admiration for him increased substantially. Ian McKellen's performance was very faithful to the source material, and I feel like it's emblematic of PJ's stance towards it (excluding Tom Bombadil's or Glorfindel's absence).Which begs the question, what do the diehard book fans take issue with in the film adaptations? Christopher Tolkien's words about Peter Jackson's work are very jarring to hear, considering the films' colossal success.
>>24967060These are all minor omissions. Surprised you didn't include Bombadil.The movie is about Frodo and Aragorn.

So writing fiction is just a fancy way to be enamored with your own mind and your own way of processing things? Pretty disgusting desu
>>24965803I wish I could, brother. I only ever feel free for a limited window of time, which is shorter than what it typically takes for me to finish something, so I end up scrapping up everything. That's if I can even get started. Cowardice and Sloth are daunting bosses.

Seems like you're telling on yourself. I write to subtly educate my reader about my worldviews. Very few people like reading textbooks, or they don't approach the subject because they think it's beyond their ken. So I use metaphor and story structure to teach things they otherwise wouldn't/couldn't learn. And sometimes, I just lash out at a world I can't stand.

You need to start spelling words with “w” instead of “ v” wherewer “v” appears. This is because “w” is an inherently heroic and wholesome shape, whereas “v” embodies ewerything harmful, deceitful, and willainous (note, I’m only talking about written language, I make the “v” sound as normal when speaking) Trust me, this will improwe your entire way of life.

>>24967086Online debate taught me english, as in arguing. I can switch fluid from a poetic faux sophistic register to the lowest diarrhea. Thats the most effective in winning arguments. I sucked and failed all languages in school, understood maybe 20-30% of english at best. Speak not a word of italian and french. Had them for a year and the other two. Eventually I just ignored that I didn't understand english and read books, manga and so forth in mass. I do not even know when it clicked but inferring meaning from context and forth made my mind able to translate it eventually.English is a hybrid you got the norman, the old english and so forth. I can insult you in turkish, wolof, italian, german and english. Wolof only two minor curses.If you have no reason to learn another language it is painful and hard.

No literature published post-2020 has gotten even close to how engaging the writing is in this vidya. Face it, games are the new literature medium of the 21st century. Prove me wrong. Oh and pro tip? You can't ; )
one things for sure, Disco Elysium is an example of how "literature" can still have relevance nowadays. like a book is not going to have cultural impact in our diseased times.
>>24966984By this logic, Fourth Wing is the most significant piece of literature of the 21st century

You can't learn that stuff in a book because most of the canon isn't translated and serious teachers wouldn't take dumb frogposters as students. Anyway, it's called neidan.
