It’s another beautiful Tuesday on planet Earth. Sh*t feels extremely bad lately, and we’re pretty sure everyone knows why. The brutal attacks on Ukraine by Russia has bled into every form of media – for good reason. It’s a very scary and important time – and the world is watching. If you’re asking how we feel about the situation, we’re not into it. War shouldn’t be caused by greed and power trips, senseless deaths shouldn’t be occurring – war really shouldn’t exist. There’s a couple exceptions to this, of course. One is a card game that was the only form of entertainment I enjoyed on the school bus as an annoying child. The other, is war in fantasy media. While we detest reading, seeing, and hearing about all this real-life death and destruction, there’s something exhilarating about watching it happen on a screen and in a world that doesn’t actually exist. Yeah, we’re talking about Middle-earth.
The epic battle scenes in the Lord of the Rings films are the only ones we want to see, period. But we’re not really here to talk about war, or depictions of war in media. We’re here to provide a welcome distraction from our current hell, and it comes in the form of our weekly collection of incredibly dumb Lord of the Rings memes. If you end up feeling like they help your psyche, here’s last week’s installment. May your brain enjoy them.
