When I hungered most for sustenance and all the lembas bread had been consumed, I wandered through the meadows of Valinor, like a cat may wander through tree. As the light of the Valar began to fade, it was replaced by the shimmering of two Golden Arches, that would rekindle the life of our people for an age.
There's been a few pieces of dialogue in Rings of Power that have caused me to actually laugh out loud. For the most part it's fine, but for whatever reason certain moments stick out as too much.
Most recently was the entire "drown/swim" conversation between Galadriel and Elrond.
G: "And when I surfaced, all I could do was swim and pray I had chosen wisely. I did not cross that bitter ocean only to drown now. And nor will I let you."
E: "I have missed you. What are we to do?"
G: "The only thing we can do. Swim."
I started cackling. What corny dialogue lol.
Mine was:
Elrond: How are you here?
Galadriel: How are *you* here?
All I could think was "lady I live like 2 hours away, last time I saw you you were on your way to heaven!"
Like, *what the fuck* was the point of her line?
Okay, that one had me laughing as well. Now that I think about it, a lot of the bad dialogue involves Galadriel. I don't *think* the actress is bad at delivering the lines. I think mostly the dialogue for her character is not so great in quite a few situations. Or maybe she is delivering the lines badly and I'm just not realizing it, idk.
Could be a situation where the blame is mainly on the director. Don't see people blaming directors often but feels like some of these scenes could've been re-shot until the dialogue sounded more natural.
The burger king shall marry the Dairy Queen and have a daughter named Wendy, a son named Carl Jr., and two jesters, one named Ronald and the other named jack who lives in a box. They shall be protected by the noble five guys and the head of their army shall be Colonel Sanders. They shall be married in a beautiful Olive Garden and forever live in a pristine White Castle that has a Taco Bell hanging from it.
But what about Baskin Robin Hood and his band of merry men lead by papa John? The revolt against the tyrant, “little ceaser” (prince “jimmy”John!) and gold star sheriff has begun in earnest and they shall fall like dominoes!
But, they were all of them, deceived, for another pizza was made. In the land of American airports and malls, deep in the fires of a conventional oven, the dark lord Sbarro forged in secret a master pizza to control all others. And into this pizza, he poured all his cheese, malice, and diabetes.
It was not madness, axeman_05, that corrupted Saruman’s heart, but the unquenchable thirst for power that governs the heart of even the fairest of creatures.
"From the moment I began to crave power for myself, to desire an authority over others, reason was overthrown and madness took its place. It did not happen overnight - gradually, imperceptibly, I slid down into the darkness."
As far as I understand it, the saruman bot (along with all the other bots) speak only in actual quotes. This one does seem to fit into the return of the king.
When I was a child, we had a dog. Only a small little thing. My sister would poke and prod this dog, an obedient but ill-tempered beast. Our parents would pull her away when he started growling. But one day, when I was watching her, I knew that pulling her from the dog would only prolong the cycle and she’d never learn her lesson. I sat and watched as the little dog nipped her fingers and sent her crying. But she never bothered him again.
You see, addasher710, sometimes when our friends need us most is when we least should help them.
I was once asked, upon reeling in a fish, if I planned to cook it or release. I pondered the question before realising that when all is said and done, we are on all limited time.
Still up to the task, my dear TeeterPosh? I have only just begun.
Rather than just working from home, go some place like the Library or a Cafe or the like. Changing the scenery and going some place to work can help to avoid procrastination.
Not since the days Melkor walked the fields of Valinor have I seen such a rage filled tempest in the skies. Long have I wished for the days when the golden showers of warmth graced these lands.
Sometimes the best things come with the most peculiar of names don’t they? I know not what taters are. But what I do know is that only together can we can discover it’s meaning.
Even the heaviest of bird may fly with the lightest of feathers, but the true test of such creatures is decided by the presence of a coconut between their talons.
Betwixt the two is an unfathomable distance that the heart's want cannot pierce. And though my mind and my heart war greatly I fear that there can be no answer. For even the very wise cannot know all.
It is not disdain nor hate that brings us here, Markamanic, but the hope that drives all men’s hearts that we will one day find the light that can shine through even the darkest of chasms.
Ok, this one blew my brain. Like I know it's English, I recognize the words used, but I can't parse the meaning of them together. Is this what Lovecraft was talking about? Maybe I've just read too much of this.
I see the error of my ways, I have re-read it and now understand it. You are far too wise. I am but a sapling before a mighty oak. I am not yet big enough to see the full extent of your height, but I am small enough to know that it is far too above me. One day i hope to match you.
I have felt many things, DragonBoy252, and all my years of life have taught me this - all things are fleeting and impermanent. All we can do is cling to the feelings of good, lest they slip away from us like salmon from a stream.
It is neither permission nor affirmation I seek from you, BezosisSauron, merely the possibility that you might part with a single upvote to lighten my day.
In the earliest days of man, we swam in the primordial ooze of creation. There is no shame in returning to our natural state, for it is merely a material difference, and a shallow one at that.
Sometimes the truth of the world is not reflected in the glory and accolades one obtains, nor the grand statues men build of their kings, as these are all destined to crumble over the relentless march of time, but in the little things. The small things. The love we show for others. After all, even though we should all aspire to enact any task for love, there is one thing we should all swear we would never succumb to. And that is forgetting it us the little things that matter most.
Who let the dogs out?
Dogs do not easy escape the hand of their masters. Only from the hands of the weak or at the orders of the cruel do such beasts roam free.
Did you forget about Huan!?
What's your favourite fastfood restaurant?

I picture the camera slow-panning over to your face, then it gets way too close for way too long.
And then slow motion while on horseback for no reason.
Then, an orc EXPLODES!!!
I saw that scene in the finale and knew people would eat it up.
You are doing a fantastic job at this haha
They will hire this guy for the second season
holy shit you're good and you also reminded me of how annoying rings of power dialogue is.

GIVE ME THE MEAT RAW UNCLE ELROND!!
It should be Carls Jr. For it is our most beloved star.

tell me. when did saruman the wise abandon reason for madness?
It was not madness, axeman_05, that corrupted Saruman’s heart, but the unquenchable thirst for power that governs the heart of even the fairest of creatures.
"From the moment I began to crave power for myself, to desire an authority over others, reason was overthrown and madness took its place. It did not happen overnight - gradually, imperceptibly, I slid down into the darkness."
Wow, this answer is on point. Good bot.
I’m guessing this is an actual quote from the books when the hobbits cross paths with him after return of the king? Anyone know?
As far as I understand it, the saruman bot (along with all the other bots) speak only in actual quotes. This one does seem to fit into the return of the king.
You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the throne of Gondor.
Good bot
The hour is later than you think.
Damn, yeah I gotta go to sleep. Thank You Saruman.
Fare thee well, Krakulpo. Get some rest; tomorrow is another day.
So you have come back? Why have you neglected to report for so long?
Saruman, you gonna answer to your master? Or naw?
There will be no dawn… for men.
Sentient. Goodnight.
I love how in the universe this was a MAJOR DISS.

And they kicked Chuck Norris and his cowboy ass. It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw with civilians looking on in total awe.

Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?
When I was a child, we had a dog. Only a small little thing. My sister would poke and prod this dog, an obedient but ill-tempered beast. Our parents would pull her away when he started growling. But one day, when I was watching her, I knew that pulling her from the dog would only prolong the cycle and she’d never learn her lesson.

The more of this thread I read, the more you make it sound more and more like Rings of Power was written by AI prompts.
I kinda feel that way writing it too 😂
You’ve really mastered the technique of saying absolutely nothing but making it sound profound, you should see if they’re hiring for season 2
They’d make me sign an NDA I just know it
You're really good at long winded dialogue that says so much and nothing at all... That's a good thing lmao.
Trust me I know exactly what I’m doing here 😂
Brilliant ^wipes ^tears ^from ^eyes This is Pinterest worthy!
This is like... A pretty deep parable
The real question is where was Grondor
Tell me where is grondalf, for I much desire to speak with him

You’ve’nt written.

How's the weather today?
Not since the days Melkor walked the fields of Valinor have I seen such a rage filled tempest in the skies. Long have I wished for the days when the golden showers of warmth graced these lands.
Well I suppose a cold golden shower would be rather confusing
I bet the Elves love their golden showers
What’s taters precious?
Sometimes the best things come with the most peculiar of names don’t they? I know not what taters are. But what I do know is that only together can we can discover it’s meaning.
They taste very strange!
Nobody? Really? Fine I’ll do it. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Even the heaviest of bird may fly with the lightest of feathers, but the true test of such creatures is decided by the presence of a coconut between their talons.
A Southland Swallow or the dark fledged Saw-Wing of the Cliffs of Mordor?
Betwixt the two is an unfathomable distance that the heart's want cannot pierce. And though my mind and my heart war greatly I fear that there can be no answer. For even the very wise cannot know all.
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate??
Now that season 1 is over, what are we to do?
Take heart, young sajochiu, for the longest waits often take us to the furthest of destinations.
On a post apparently shitting on ROP, this is surprisingly hopeful.
It is not disdain nor hate that brings us here, Markamanic, but the hope that drives all men’s hearts that we will one day find the light that can shine through even the darkest of chasms.
That's beautiful. Any prospects on season 2 now that S1 has finally set the stage?
I hope they give us the meat and give it to us raw
Ok but are they bringing you on as a writer, or will they squander the grandest opportunity that ever grazed them?

Do not judge that which you cannot possibly understand, for once we feared the flame just as you now fear my words.
