When will based finally go the way of epic and bacon?
I've never heard anyone use the word 'bacon' to define anything. I think based (and unfortunately 'woke') will be here to stay longer than any of those, because they don't just mean 'worthy of approval' but they signify a state of mind as well. 'Woke' seems to be on the down-turn though thankfully.
Nah it was shit, completely 2D characters and I didn't care about the son of mavericks old friend at all. 4/10 maybe a 6 if I were to watch it at the cinema
No it's not. The west does and did have values before israelitesis. You all think christgays invented morals don't you? The light that apparently saves can truly blind.
I think our last based film was 2015's Bone Tomahawk. I literally refuse to watch anything made post-2016, I simply will not support propaganda. LOTR is God-Tier though.
Looked it up. First name associated with it is a israelite. Don't get me wrong, I know Lord of the Rings probably isn't pure Volkisch. I'm sure there's a few hebes who had a hand in producing it but at least the director is white and every scene wasn't going out on a limb trying to make diversity quotas. Also, the director modelled that Orc commander on Harvey Weinstein. If that's not based, I dunno what is.
>gives Saruman the end he deserved >builds on Faramir and Pippin's friendship >Faramir saves Eowyn from femceldom >has Aragorn confront Sauron >has a proper payoff with the evenstar breaking >travelling through Mordor is more than just crawling towards the volcano >gives more context to Frodo's decision to leave and the consequences of his wound
nah, get better taste
The palantir scene was awful with aragon all fainting at the end, bested. Not at all like in the book, and I saw no reason to change it. Revealing himself to Sauron is what turned the tide.
Really? I think the extended edition is more necessary, the regular edition cuts out a lot of shit
For instance, they cut out a town of stuff from the start of ROTK, such as:
-what happened to Saruman (is he dead? Or still in that Isengard tower?)
-what happened to Grima Wormtongue, as he’s never mentioned again
-how that eye of sauron orb got in the water, and what happened to it after Pip grabbed it from Gandalf in his sleep (or why Gandalf even bothered to keep it period?)
-why denethor went mad, and really just made him seem like a total weak, shitty character when that’s not really the case
Just a couple things off the top of my head.
Really, I think they should have made them four movies instead of three, but good movies regardless

The very idea of the West comes from Rome, whose memory and traditions only live through the Catholic Church. All the Western countries are formerly Catholic countries, and the more Catholic the country was, the more that country is bound together with the idea of the West. For example, Greece belonged to the Eastern empire and the Eastern churches; even though much of Western culture comes from the Greeks, Greece today is barely considered a Western nation. Consider Russia also--it played a major role in European culture, but has never been a Western nation. The West as an idea is an Anglo-American Protestant attempt to remove the Catholic Church from Roman Catholic Church.
LotR films suck compared to the books.
It's like they took all the reflection, growth and resignation of the self away and replaced it with gore and swordfights.
I know people would have shit all over Peter Jackson (they already did) for changing it, but I think having Aragorn fight Sauron at the last stand instead of some random troll would have been cooler. Nice callback to the intro sequence of the first movie, we could see Sauron in his elf form too and I think it would have added weight to Sam and Frodo destroying the ring. I don't think it would have detracted from it since Sauron would be killing everybody. I would have preferred that.
How the frick would it make sense though? The entire point of the entire plot is that Sauron has placed the greater part of his power within the ring. When it was taken from him, his power was diminished and his body destroyed. If he regains his, he will recover his power. Now you suggest that while Gondor and Rohan are fighting at the black gate in what is a maneuver to distract Sauron from the fact that his ring is about to be destroyed, Sauron suddenly didn't need the ring after all and comes out for a duel with Aragorn in a battle that wouldn't even be particularly important if not for the fact that it allows the ring to be destroyed? You are a moron my friend.
Not how logic works. The West refers to the Catholic Cultural hegemony. As nations depart from Catholicism, they depart from Western culture. Every Western nation descends from the Catholic Church. Once again, name a single Western nation that doesn't. All you have to do is find one example.
I did. It's the very origin of the term. First, East and West referred to the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. After Rome fell, the Catholic Church remained, and there were the Eastern Churches and the Western Churches. The jurisdictional divide between Eastern and Western Church remains the dividing line between East and West today. Where those lines are blurred, the designation of East and West is blurred--for example, Greece and the Balkans. Russia has never been considered Western, even though it European and has played a pivotal role in European and Western history. Today, when people talk about the West, they always refer to nations that were once or are still Catholic.
Didn't you hear? Top gun Maverick is based, redpilled, testosterone filled pure soul
Fair enough, I haven't watched it get.

'woke' is just the new version of 'SJW' anyway, there'll be a new term to replace it soon enough but the idea behind it is gonna stick around
I know. That's pretty much how language works.
No, I mean, bacon used to be a thing. Like a really big thing. Based has been here long enough.
Nah it was shit, completely 2D characters and I didn't care about the son of mavericks old friend at all. 4/10 maybe a 6 if I were to watch it at the cinema
cringe
When will based finally go the way of epic and bacon?
Why is it only white people on the poster?
ahem
Directed by Michael Bay.
>ITS BAD BECAUSE IT JUST IS....OKAY!!
This movie is a literal 9/10, has some pacing issues but it's kino overral, nothing like it on the market
I don't get how people hated on this movie? It was pure testosterone KINO
this "movie" fricking sucked
certified Flick if anything
t.female
I had to zoom in to check it wasn't an AI image
Pirates 3 was the last good Hollywood blockbuster if that's what you mean
yikes
the last good one was the hobbit battle of five armies.
>return of the schlock
cringe
It's a metaphor for Christendom and the Kingdom of God.
No it's not. The west does and did have values before israelitesis. You all think christgays invented morals don't you? The light that apparently saves can truly blind.

The extended edition is unwatchable
The only good part of extended editions is the opening Shire sequence, itself extended to an almost complete movie in itself.
>gives Saruman the end he deserved
>builds on Faramir and Pippin's friendship
>Faramir saves Eowyn from femceldom
>has Aragorn confront Sauron
>has a proper payoff with the evenstar breaking
>travelling through Mordor is more than just crawling towards the volcano
>gives more context to Frodo's decision to leave and the consequences of his wound

It's not the stuff at the beginning of the movie, it's that the movie basically ends and then goes on for another 30 minutes.

have a nice day
I agree, for Fellowship and maybe Two Towers. not RoTK tho
different guy. you meant this?

They were blockbuster films, not sure what you expect mate
You don't just walk into mordor without a little fighting and gore
Name a Western country that wasn't Catholic.
Name one Western country that wasn't at one point Catholic
Why were these movies so perfect ?
I know people would have shit all over Peter Jackson (they already did) for changing it, but I think having Aragorn fight Sauron at the last stand instead of some random troll would have been cooler.

Pleb take
Cooler than a random troll in armour.

Name a Western nation that has never been Catholic.

Greece isn't western, then?

>Greece not western
Ok, so is greek philosophy not western, or is greek philosophy not a fundamental aspect of western civilization?
