…this introductory clip for LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER.
I am struck by how quickly I decided I hated the elvish douchebro. He’s got that look, right? He looks like the kind of guy who made people make that nail polish that chemically reacts to the presence of roofies. I’m hoping that’s deliberate, because otherwise the actor got some baaaaaad direction, there.
I think we can appreciate the meme-ability of it all at least:

Oh, that’s going up on the front page.
I laughed heartily at that, because Y&R is one of my mom’s favorite shows, so I recognized the theme music instantly. That intro looks like every anime intro ever done, but with the opposite intention of an intro.
“Hey, Bob…hear me out. We show all the important characters.”
“And?”
“That’s it.”
“But shouldn’t we, you know, show them doing something, so people will go ‘what is that guy doing? I am intrigued’, or something like that?”
“Naaaah. We could throw spaghetti at a wall and film it running down, and people would still watch.”
