Man I would love to see this series come back.

Wouldn’t be that great of a story if all the decisions were flawless. You need conflict.
Jonathan Keller
Now that I think about it, I agree.

Magic isn't really a thing in Arda, not like the characters in the books imagine it anyway. It's not about spells or mana or stuff like that. People using 'magic' in LOTR are carrying out the will of Eru Iluvatar in accordance to his Divine Symphony as it played out before time and space existed. The discordant Melchor and, later on, his most loyal servant Sauron weild tremendous power, but that is not really magic as we normally think of it - it's more like destiny being fulfilled in ways that mainly was set during the different movements of the Symphony; specifically them being disturbed by Melchor being the first edgelord and playing the electric guitar/drums too loudly. It really is all rather interesting, you should try and give the Silmarillion a read. It's rather heavy, so I'd read it while having some internet tabs open, maybe some videos explaining the stuff. But when you get into it, it's quite well thought-out.

Uhhhhhhhh ACKHYUALLY this was a dank ass episode.
Fabian Jakobsson
Something I questioned after reading the books: Could Gandalf even use magic?
Eric Vogt
You can leave Steelmanville Road, but Steelmanville Road will never leave you. (Translation: We're not gonna let this go.)
Nicholas
Very nice

We need Scotty to fulfill the prophecy and go down Steelmanville Road!

Radagast is cooler than Gandalf, imo. I bet Radagast makes amazing S'mores.

I am so fucking glad that Cinema for Cynics is back. I mostly watch movie channels on YT and I quite enjoy Paul's takes on movies

True. There's a program out there (free) called Plane9. It has tons of animations which react to sound, including speech. Would be perfect as background for those logo shots, as Paul talks, so that something is always moving on screen, to keep it visually interesting.

Lots of Logo Filler in this edit 😬
