Why Lord of the Rings is too much like going to work…
-
I threw together Why I Hate the Lord of the Rings, drawing upon my experience in Enterprise IT and editing here.
We are all Samwise.

Fuck that shit, I am Huan, and LotR is awesome.
-
That was pretty damn good.
But where was Gimli?
-
He got one frame in the Agile Scrumfall of the Rings. I could have found more for him, but then I would have ended up turning this short rant into a three part epic, and then crammed in characters and subplots that had no place there, and really just ruined the whole thing in an attempt to be "complete" and "sufficiently epic".
-
It is of note that J. R. R. Tolkien himself stated that Samwise was the chief hero there.
Also, he did get a retirement bonus eventually and go to Bahamas himself. So the ending is not as bad...
...Well, I'm maybe a masochist but after that video I want to re-read the bloody thing. I kinda like it in a strange way.
-
The orcs and their role in all this are underdeveloped, I'm afraid.
-
Brillant! Was expecting a bit of brimstone and fire once they complete the project and push it into production, though.
After the final meeting is over, Sam returns to his cubicle, sits in his chair, hits a few keys and says: "Well, I'm back."
-
I hate you. I laughed.
-
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
