Psh, Shakespeare did it first, what a lazy hack. Get your own material!

Dammit, ya beat me to it! What good is being an English teacher if I don't get to make Macbeth jokes! Ugh!

Alas poor Whopraysforthedevil, Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the magazine on a roar? Not one now, to make reply first with a Shakespeare joke? quite sorrowfully delayed?

This was very good. Though we've seem to be having a bit of a cross over episode moment now 🤣

Who doesn't like a Shakespeare mashup episode? Thank you for refraining from the thumb bite.

I'll satisfy myself with muttering "what fools these mortals be" to myself 🤣

I mean, he really had a bad guy kill the bad guy. But the tree end was cool, too.

I mean, i wouldn't call wormtongue bad in the end, more like smeagol pre-Faramir. Pitiable.

he survived that it was the hobbits who gave him his ultimate come uppance. unless your talking the movie.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Somehow, Saruman survived.

Wasn't it Grima who ultimately killed him, not the hobbits? Either way, he had been stripped of his powers long before then.

he had enough power to take over hobbiton before the heroes came back.

Kind of bullshit that Saruman's soul gets blown away from Valinor but they're all hunky dory chilling with Morgoth. It's pure classism.

I mean the Valar tried to rehabilitate Morgoth but banished him beyond the doors of night in the end anyway. I also don't think that's what happened to Saruman and Sauron. Their souls were diminished and left formless forever, but not banished like Morgoth. Pretty sure the only being completely removed from Arda until the breaking was Morgoth.
