If the first movie taught us anything, it's that Olaf is an immortal hellbeast fueled by madness and he cannot be killed by any weapon nor craft that man possesses.

The trailer for Ma name checks Get Out and the movie seems to pit a bunch of white people against a black person so I guess it's gonna do some kinda racial commentary? Or maybe not? If it is tho let's see who's making it to see if they're likely to have something interesting to say on the subject...
Director: Tate Taylor, white, directed The Help, which was criticized for being a well meaning but tone deaf movie about race relations
Writer: Scotty Landes, white, wrote for Sacha Baron Cohen's series Who Is America? and, before that, for something called Ballmastrz 9009.

hmm.
Blumhouse and Octavia Spencer have a line of credit with me on this stuff.

Good thing that Anna is no man, then.
What a terrible warding job Sauron did huh
If I remember correctly it's actually less of an actual ward and more of a prophecy someone had a long time ago
Someone told the Witch-King "Hey no man will ever be able to kill you" and he went "Dope, I'm immortal, nice"
It's basically just the MacBeth "No man born of woman" plot twist

I have noone to blame but myself
I just wanted to share a fun fact!
there are no fun facts about LoTR
I can meet you halfway here!
In the book version of The Hobbit there's a whole thing where one of Bilbo's ancestors had knocked a goblin's head into a rabbithole, thus canonically inventing the game of golf
A film called "Support the Girls" not doing well at the box office feels like Very Deep Symbolism that would show up in a clumsily-written drama that's trying to project wokeness.

Literally that plot point and also the March of the Ents are in the story because Tolkien didn't think MacBeth delivered on its promises.
I don't remember the giant tree people in Macbeth. Though it's been a while since I last read it, to be fair.
That's the point. There's another prophecy in MacBeth that a forest will march, and it turns out later it's soldiers disguising themselves as trees for a surprise attack. Tolkien thought that was a cop-out.
I've heard it said - and agree - that Christopher Lee as Saruman has exactly the expression one would expect to see on a man who's just woken up to a bunch of trees trashing his yard.

Man, Tolkien just flat out doesn't like MacBeth, does he?
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I think he just thought it wasted some great supernatural opportunities.
He's got a point. Once you've put witches in your story, the possibilities are endless!

It would not surprise me to hear that Lee, drawing on personal experience, corrected Peter Jackson on what a man's face looks like when he discovers trees trashing his yard.

yeah it's a little weird that a dude who wrote plays with witches and ghosts thought "no, tree people are too far"

I prefer the prophecies that fuck over the person reading them by clever twist, like "If you go to war, a great empire will fall"
I like Macbeth's twist of "No man of woman born shall defeat MacBeth" compared to Tolkien's "No man shall defeat the witch king"

Yeah the prophecies are a very deliberate play on the similar prophecies from Greek tragedies
James I/IV probably liked Greek plays or something, given that the Scottish play was partially written to ingratiate Shakespeare to him and legitimize some of his claim to the throne

if Gurney Halleck doesn't perform a lute ballad in the movie, what is the point

...but it runs totally counter to the image I had in my head:
Buff Rainn Wilson
Can't explain it, that's just how I've imagined Gurney so far.
I remember seeing the trailer and thinking I definitely wanted to see it, at least, but then it was in theaters for like five minutes

I can't do anything about this, unfortunately
go'l'f'
There are certainly normal sized tree people
well, except for having been invented by a hobbit who knocked a goblin's head off with a club

My personal favorite is when Diogenes the Cynic plucked a chicken and threw it down before Plato and said "Behold! The primordial man!"
