Comment on hmmmmm
I mean, the name!
The palantiri (Tolkien) are not evil. Literally just a magic telescope ball.
I know, but given that when we see them in the series they’re exclusively used by Evil, its… it just floors me
And the whole reason they’re evil is because the most powerful person who has one gets to choose what all the others see. I’m sure there’s no metaphor there.
Wow, maybe you just hate capitalism and freedom and breathing exercises and having slaves.
