Wait, let him cook...
Pretty sure the palantir were made by elves and not evil. It just so happens that Sauron currently is in control of them
yeah but they were made by that asshole Feanor
Feanor is like the Elon Musk of elves. Gets himself in stupid schemes that not only fuck him up but damn a whole bunch of people. Oh and they're also racist, fascist pieces of shit.
literally their world's version of Cain with the kinslaying
difference is that elves like to touch grass.
Yeah there's nothing evil about the palantir inherently, just the fact that an evil demigod is currently shoving his malice through them at all times.
so the elves are liberals making and maintaining the tools of evil and then sauron is the worse evil using it more effectively.
They didn't maintain them at all. The palantir were created like 20 000 years prior to lotr
shhh you're getting in the way of my analogy to american politics
Ooooohh! You're correct, but you didn't preface your answer with, "Um, actually..." so we cannot give you the point.
Would anyone else like to buzz in?
Yup, made by Feanor
