My problem is simply that the show goes too far and leaves us with nothing to root for. He's too capricious, too entitled, too selfish.And I agree with you but I don't think we need to root for every character. Or at least not all the time. fwiw the writer I like wrote on Breaking Bad and we certainly don't or aren't supposed to root for Walt.
As for Boromir, well, he didn't simply refuse to destroy the Ring, he tried to forcefully seize it from Frodo, in stark contrast to other characters that were shown to be able to resist the urge to try and claim it themselves.lol this is so hypocritical. Boromir was near it for a long time and he did apologize. He literally picked it up and still gave it back. He was fighting it. And no, we never see Legolas, Gimli, or the other Hobbits struggling with it in the first movie.
He is their focus, he is their main character. That's generally not how movies and TV shows frame deliberately unlikable characters.We all know him as the ass who just couldn't destroy the ring. Sure, they can build him up and make him more complicated and maybe we do want to root for the naive kid full of hope and curiosity. But I think his selfish privilege is absolutely intentional because it shows his flaws and makes his trajectory pretty obvious.
So your response was... to not state any argument at all? What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?This is Rushy's new tactic.
This is a Kiwi IRC problem, nothing to do with us. Hopefully they will fix it soon. You can work around it for the time being by connecting with Mibbit if you like.My work computer won't let me. I'll just wait it out or maybe never join again if Kiwi is dead forever. Auf wiedersehen, chat.
Literally no one is saying this change is not going to happen.Literally no one said that anyone said that either.
Apparently though it seems I'm the only one looking down the road. Change is nigh. It's gong to happen. Saying that is not diminishing the issue, it's facing it.
Ah yes, good thing it wasn't a medium that a lot of artists work in.Quote.. he won in the digital art category ..
I'm still not convinced we all need to run for the hills screaming tough.

oh deer
Well, like I said, I was trying to figure out what Rushy's real view on wealth is. The idea of what is considered wealth is an interesting concept. I guess it is a digression from the topic at hand but the subject kinda came out of the discussion as sometime happens on forums and I'm fine with returning to lurking moar.If someone can pay off their student loans quickly then it likely means they are wealthy relatively speaking. It is pretty subjective, sure, but many many people are in debt for a long time with student loans and over half of the American population is one pay check away from being homeless.
Should someone making $124k per year really get $10k of their debt paid off? Does it make sense to contribute so much aid towards the sector of America that is, in general, the most well off?And I think we've answered that question.
