Roona is a young mutant who'd look fairly normal if not for the chitinous shell covering her back and head. She's usually fairly sensible and cautious except when her Poor Dual Brain takes over which has no access to her regular brain's mental mutations and is terrified of all living creatures bigger than a housecat.

It's presently in control and terrified of the strange young human who's suddenly appeared wearing a hat with a huge feather and carrying a long, slender blade.

Speedy, continued

After calming Roona down and her normal brain gets back in charge, Speedy has a number of adventures with her after which his stats look like this:

Rewatching The Box, Victim seemed a bit too calm about the whole beating up a god like entity, almost as if he had practise before...

So here is my scuffed design of TDL under captivity of Rocket corp

Who else is a better practise of how to beat up TCO than his equal, TDL?

I came across this monstrosity via RPGnet - it looks really familiar, but I can't place it; can you?

SO Warner Bros just announced their new LotR movies, one of which is called The Hunt for Gollum.

There are two old, fairly well-known and high-quality Tolkien fan short films called The Hunt for Gollum and Born of Hope.

The Hunt for Gollum, which had accrued 13 million views on Youtube over its lifetime, released May 9 2009;

Born of Hope released shortly afterward on December 12 2009 and has accrued 50 million views on Youtube.

WB just got it removed.

They fucking filed a copyright claim on the 15 year old fan film whose name and plot they reused for their own film. They did this within the past 24 hours, after some reporting pointed out the fan film and generated a bit more buzz for it.

Born of Hope remains up, but given there is a second Warner Bros LotR movie with an unnanounced title, I'd bet money on it also being an Aragorn origin story and they'll strike Born of Hope next year.

Also, given the new WB film is apparently only now starting production and is supposed to release in 2026, it will have 1-1.5 years of production time, which is less production time than the 50 minute fan film.

The original LotR trilogy had nearly 3 years of production time, not including finishing the second two in the proceeding 3 years after filming them all together.
