There is no fucking taking place in the entirety of human or elf history. It just doesn't happen, never did, never will.

Basically the result of Morgoth going Full Metal Alchemist / Unit 731 on some elves he captured in the dark.

Uruk-Hai were Sauron's Orcs v2, and it's implied those were made via dark magic assisted cross breeding. between orcs and men...

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

Good thing then that these are cowboys and hobbits.

It's either that Cameron seems to have been influenced strongly by Disney or the archetypes and symbolism in popular stories.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

OK, to be fair, Tramp was a dog, not a man.

Still, yeah, the plots are similar enough that James Cameron might as well have just put bookends on this about a boat and been good to go.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Tramp was a sapient dog, which I think counts

But it's more Avatar is Dances With Wolves, or Fern Gully. The story is backwards to be Pocahontas

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I agree, but what you mean with story is backwards?

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dances with Wolves and The Last Samurai and Avatar are white soldiers who integrate themselves into some "exotic" (that is, non European) culture and slowly adopt their ways and renounce their previous military loyalties. Then they are called upon to take up arms and coordinate tactics against their former side.

Pocahontas as told in the movie is more of a woman who learns to play peacemaker. There's not that much cultural exchange, and nobody switches sides to fight against their former team.

Pocahontas as actually happened, historically, is more the story of a native teenager kidnapped, forcibly converted to Christianity and married off to bear a child, and paraded around England as a novelty, until she died far away from her home at the age of 20, maybe 21.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Oh, i see. I was focusing more of the father and chief of the clan wants to kill the alien man, but somehow his daughter saves him and they fell in love. In the end having the man save the clan. But yeah Last Samurai fits way better.

Lady asked to be painted like a French poodle?

I mean I'd fuck Leonardo DiCaprio and I'm not even gay.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What's the scene on the right from?

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

That is, and I hope I’m not wrong, a scene from the movie “The Titanic”

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It can’t be. Neal Degrasse Tyson said the night sky was historically inaccurate for that period. /s

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Is that like 'The Facebook'?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Grandpa is posting on The Lemmy.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

'The Titanic', the movie is titled, 'Titanic'.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The what? What is that, a building?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 4 days ago

The Titanic ended up floating as well as a building.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I am not an architect. I’m sorry, I cannot give my opinion or force the structure to feel it needs to change, just to fit my narrative.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

Hey buddy, you sure know more about it than I do!

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago
[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Just wow.
