Prepare to be thoroughly spooked
You are the reason cable TV is such shit
Could the Valar have imposed limitations on Sauron's power like they did with the Istari? The Wizards could only guide and not directly interfere in Middle Earth's conflicts and Sauman's power clearly fades when he breaks this rule until at the end he's a low-level bandid and is killed by a weak as fuck human. The Valar obviously cared a little about the struggle of Middle Earth or they wouldn't have sent the Istari in the first place. Why not impose similar limitations on Sauron and have the whole thing over with before it began?
Also, since power is such an abstract concept in LOTR, could any of the Valar necessarily defeat Sauron if they wanted to? 'Power' seems to refer to power of mind, will or creation as well as raw combative power and less powerful beings defeat more powerful ones all the time, e.g. Feanor soloing like 9 Balrogs. Since Sauron is one of the most powerful Maiar, if not the most powerful, and he's specced all the way to combat, it doesn't seem clear at all that a Valar like Yvanna or Nessa could defeat him, or even one like Irmo Lórien. Tulkas probably could, but the others?

>could any of the Valar necessarily defeat Sauron if they wanted to
Yes. The Valar are so far above the Maiar it's not even a contest.
>>79188479
Wasn't there sort of an arbitrary line between the Valar and Maiar? They were all Ainur and Eru picked the most powerful ones and made them a class of their own. Is there ever really a power gap mentioned between the weakest Valar and strongest Maiar?
>>79188966
I'll admit I'm checking the Tolkien Gateway for this, as I don't remember all the details well enough.
>The Ainur were spirits that were brought into being by Ilúvatar's thought, and He may therefore be considered their father. However, some of the Ainur were siblings "in the thought of Ilúvatar". Each was granted insight into a specific part of Ilúvatar's thought, and was therefore more aligned in spirit with that part.
>After singing the Ainulindalë, the fourteen Ainur who witnessed the Vision of Ilúvatar and came to shape Arda were the Valar. By chosing to enter Eä after its creation, rather than remaining in Ilúvatar's Timeless Halls, the Valar agreed to be bound to it until the end.
It seems they were always simply of a higher order. The Valar and the Maiar are like rulers and their people in the spiritual hierarchy of the world.
What's your ideal cast for a movie about the 2016 presidential election?

Larry David as Bernie obviously.

The elite are all about transcendence and living forever and the secrets of the universe and they want to know all this, some are good some are bad some are a mix; but the good ones don't ever want to organize, the bad ones tend to want to organize because they lust after power. Powerful consciousnesses don't want to dominate other people, they want to empower them so they don't tend to get together until things are really late in the game, then they come together and evil is always defeated. Because good is so much stronger. And we're on this planet and Einstein's physics showed it, Max Planck's physics showed it- there's at least twelve dimensions. And now that's all the top scientists and billionaires are coming out and saying it's a false hologram, it is artificial, the computers are scanning it and finding tension points where it's artificially projected and gravity is bleeding in to this universe. That's what they call dark matter. So we're like a thought or a dream that's a wisp in a computer program, some God's mind, whatever. They're proving it all, it's all coming out.
Now, there's like this subtransmission zone below the third dimension that's just turned over to the most horrible things, it's what it resonates to, and it's trying to get up into the third dimension; that's just a basic level consciousnesses, to launch up into the next levels. Our species is already way up at the fifth, sixth dimension consciously, our best people. But there's this big war trying to basically destroy humanity because humanity has free will and there's a decision to which level we want to go to. We have free will so evil is allowed to come in and contend and not just good. And the elites themselves believe they're racing using human technology to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization where they're going to merge with machines, transcend and breakaway from the failed species that is Man. Which is kind of like a false transmission because they're thinking what they are is ugly and bad; projecting it onto themselves instead of believing no, it's a human test about building us up.
And so Google was set up 18, 19 years ago so that they wanted to build a giant artificial system. And Google believes the first artificial intelligence will be a supercomputer based on the neuron activities of the hive mind of humanity, with billions of people wired into it with the internet of things, and so all of our thoughts go into it and we're actually building a computer with real neurons in real-time that's also psychically connected to us that are organic creatures so that they will have current prediction powers, future prediction powers- a true crystal ball- but the big secret is once you have a crystal ball and know the future you can add stimuli beforehand and make decisions and control the future. And so then it's the end of consciousness and free will for individuals as we know and a true 2.0 in a very bad way hive mind consciousness with an AI jacked into everyone knowing our hopes and dreams, delivering it to us not in some P.KD. wirehead system where we plug in and give up on consciousness because of unlimited pleasure but because we were already wired in and absorbed before we knew it by giving over our consciousness to this system by our daily decisions that it was able to manipulate and control into a larger system.
What went wrong?
It got canceled.
>>79188020
Yeah, apparently because of low-ratings.
Why? Is this Dexter 2.0 or something?
>>79188042
It was too deep for plebs.
In all seriousness though the show was mostly talking and kino cinematography and soundtrack. The drama took long to get to so I guess most people just dropped and watched """good""" shows like walking dead
>The bad guy is actually a good guy all along
What are some movies/shows that show this?
>>79187968
Hillary Clinton's upcoming biopic
Harry Potter.
This is a fucking stupid thread though, because know you're going into these movies knowing.
It's like asking 'what films have a shocking twist where X happens?' so dumb
>>79188004
What was the explanation?
>>79187951
Plastic surgery
different universe
Some faggot wanted to make a star wars movie and didn't give a single shit about source material because he knew all the bright shiny CGI action would attract anyone who wasnt autistic enough to watch it just for having the franchise name slapped on.
