Misty Mountain Hop | THE LORD OF THE RINGS Retropective

Are you ready to go back to Middle-Earth? As we've said before: we're being well fed on High-Fantasy content lately! With House of the Dragon currently airing, and The Rings of Power firmly in the horizon, we've decided to look back at the granddaddy of modern fantasy: The Lord of the Rings! This seminal literary work by J.R.R. Tolkien inspired so many others, and Peter Jackson's incredible adaptation of the book established that bar by which all Fantasy measures itself against! Today we reminisce on these works and how the films spoke to us, what themes still resonate, the beautiful locations, and so much! We're so ready to see what the Second Age of Middle-Earth has in store for us in The Rings of Power, but for now we'll take a very fond look back at the Third Age, and all the epicness of The Lord of the Rings! Join us!

Please check out The Amidala Initiative a "...community-operated, nonprofit campaign which seeks to use our platform to raise funds for Equality Texas, the largest nonpartisan statewide political advocacy organization working to eliminate discrimination targeting the LGBTQ+ community in the state of Texas. It is our goal to show that our community can follow in the footsteps of a character like Padmé Amidala, who tirelessly used her voice to speak up to protect disenfranchised and endangered people within a flawed political system. While we may not have the reach, impact or resources of larger online presences, we do not believe that is an excuse to sit by silently as hate seeks to establish stronger footholds and threaten our most vulnerable siblings in our own galaxy."
