I Love Lotr
Roommate: "If they did a middle earth show these days, they'd probably just ruin it by making it with too many modern themes."
Me: "Yeah, they'd totally have a feisty young woman lead who's just the best at everything."
Roommate: "But that totally goes against the thematic surprise that Eowyn was a competent fighter!"
Me: "Like they did with Tauriel?"
Roommate: "She was cool though."
Me: "And an elf. They're kinda different."
Roommate: "Eh... Arwen wasn't a fighter."
Me: "Arwen wasn't really a character, to be honest. She was just kinda there sometimes."
Roommate: "Okay, I guess that's fair."
- When two Tolkien fans have too much wine and fantasy movie soundtracks are playing in the background. I have a surprisingly good memory for this much wine.
