I would like to thank my rescue medication for barely working just well enough just this once so I could watch the first three episodes of The Rings of Power season 2. I would like Charlie Vickers to know he is serving so much cunt the platters are dripping. On a real note, I legitamately haven't seen such a compelling villain in a decade. He was forced to become this. At least he believes he was. He's genuinely suffered. Dude's getting tortured left right and center. He's laser focused and single-minded. Unlike most elves, he's spreading the power evenly, isn't he? He might truly see Galadriel as his equal and want her at his side as his counterweight. And by god, he's just so damn GOOD at it! It's just enjoyable to watch! Every turn you're like, damnit, he planned that too, or a thousand years ago he fucked around with this thing and that paid off I guess!
He's also a murdering sociopathic manipulative narcissistic undying war criminal who wiped an entire region off the map and turned it into ash! Committed heinous painful experiments turning elves into orcs and condemned them to live in pain and misery but still has the audacity to pretend to be their father! A horrible man! Deserves to be punished! Absolutely should not win! I'm just enjoying the show.
