Welcome to my madness

I like the funny killer angel man

on our most recent episode, we read an incredible email that we got from a listener, Mackenzie, in which Mackenzie gave us this incredible information:

And true tof form, they decided to do the worst possible low effort job of making a show out of it. Grave mistakes include adding sexual content (very not-Tolkien), rewriting characters just cause they feel like it (turning an elegant, powerful sorceress into a warrior and a wise leader into an “ambitious” go getter), none of the male elves have long hair (and hair is a HUGE part of Elvish culture), party city looking costumes, general low effort all around, and egregious inaccuracies a la Amazon the Soulless Corporation essentially just trying to make Tolkien’s work more palatable for Game of Thrones fans rather than putting effort into just letting it be what LotR fans actually like about it.

But then extremely seasoned stunt actors kept complaining about unsafe work practices during the filming of Rings, which they considered particularly egregious on that kind of budget. Their complaints were ignored. There were multiple serious injuries, some requiring surgery. Amazon failed to report these incidents to New Zealand’s WorkSafe program as required by law.

Finally, it pulled out of filming in New Zealand altogether, a costly move for both Amazon and New Zealand, and relocated the production to the UK where worker safety rules are far more lax.

Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:

‘Where the hell is the seatbelt on this thing?’

I mean they deserve a medal for having such huge bird balls imo

You’d save me a seat, wouldn’t you?
