I did not expect such a poetic response to something I wrote while drunk at 3 am

So... The lotr orcs are only "pretty orcy"?.... What exactly is this orcyness scale based on? Lotr orcs are the definitive depiction that all modern orcs are inspired by.

Me when i surrender to an opponent who I consider my equal with the expectation of being treated with dignity and shown a shred of respect.

I mean by the by it was a funny movie and I liked it. But when you get right down to it, it was a hail-mary attempt by Matel to switch the narrative about their toys being unhealthy for young women's body image. I'd say thats the only consistent message it had.

Do you think so? Consider the subtext, not just the genders of the actors.

The conflict of the film is, quite literally, an oppressed sex lashing out at the society that oppressed them and taking control. The resolution is the previously dominant sex regaining control and putting the oppressed sex back in their former, subservient positition.

It is kind of funny that the movie's ultimate message was that a society with strictly enforced gender roles and a dominant sex is good.

Also where was the queer representation? They showed magic earing Ken but no gay characters? Really??

Tbh at some point GW kinda forgot that the imperium was supposed to be satire.

I don't know if "determination" is necessarily the right word there. Might I suggest something closer to "rage and terrror induced frantic stupidity"?
