    RIP one of the great legendary British actors and a staunch ally in the fight against the curse of wokism (he was critical of Rings of Power in part because of its wokism).

    There are two channels dedicated to this sort of things. They might do a video against Sauron if someone asked nicely. If someone gave a small donation, they would be even more likely to do it.





    But yes, I'm pretty sure Sauron could not beat Batman.

    Batman understands that Sauron's psychological profile wouldn't even consider that someone with the One Ring would try to destroy it, so he wouldn't even bother to put any security around Mount Doom.

    Hypothetically, Batman has the will power to carry the one ring without being corrupted by it and the stealth skills to walk into Mordor.

    But in just in case Batman was concerned he couldn't personally carry the One Ring, he could give the ring to a pure hearted patsy such as Frodo and assign him Sam to keep on the straight and narrow. Then Batman would distract Sauron by tricking Saruman into occupying Sauron's attention, then distract Sauron again by manipulating Pippen into picking up a Palantir and then Aragon into picking up a Palantir so Sauron remains distracted and looking elsewhere why Frodo and Sam infiltrate Mount Doom.

    I thought you might like that one. If they ever make it a reality, maybe I'll see you there!

    From a certain point it could be right. RoP could spell the death of the franchise, thus ruling the destiny of it

    It is somewhat surprising that LOTR does not enjoy a clean sweep of the votes.

    Agreed. Most of the Hobbit movies are fine even with the additions. But the Kiki/Tauriel Romance is a mockery of Tolkien's work that I cannot stand

    It's no different from the romances between Aragorn and Arwen and Beren and Luthien, other than that the male character is a taller-than-average Dwarf (rather than human, or overly-perfect human in the case of Aragorn)... and Kili dies anyway as per the novel, so no established canon was seriously changed.

    The difference is that it was between an elf and a dwarf which would simply not happen in Tolkien's world. It states in the Silmarillion that the children of Aulë (the dwarves) would be at odds with the elves because they did not care for nature but only cared for rock, metals, and gems. Additionally the love between humans and elves specifically only happened 3 times in Middle Earth's history on purpose
