Just made a sarcastic remark on #LoTR to make a point for #Fediverse ..

> LoTR already showed us that having “One Ring to rule them all” only leads to a mind-numbingly linear plot to slog on towards Mount Doom, feeling miserable all the time, until the moment that that decision can be undone and fate is once more on our side. /s

But I loved Tolkiens book. He introduced us to a new genre. Liked the movies for their big productions.

Yet this linear trek was miserable.
