If I lost my wizard hat, I would definitely come back a inconsolable vengeful murderer.

A man acknowledges.

I'm not!

You know, it is possible they could switch to Kinja for CMS and keep using Disqus for comments. If it has to happen, that's how I hope it happens.

Hey folks, track your results against the AVclub staff! From the beginning this year!

That is a better response post-edit. Please consider that art is not static and is subject to interpretation; we aren't even aligned on what constitutes humanity. I didn't come here to get into a pedantic argument, nor have you revealed anything to me that I have previously overlooked, forgotten, or not considered.…

/me reconsiders the life choices that got him here…

When he got back, he barely remembered Pip and Merry; his experiences as Gandalf the Grey took some time to return to him. You can pedantic the shit out of it all you want; my personal reading is that his forcible revisit of his divine self overrode centuries of human-like personality development. Obviously, we all…

Or the magic of the wall is an imprisoned ice dragon and Euron's horn works on that? Who knows!

Gandalf comes back different. Maybe not in the movies, but in the books he ain't the same dude. He is a lot less quaint when he gets back.

Eh. GRRM's story was going nowhere, and the showrunners are trying to pull it together into a coherent story with an arc and an ending.

FWIW, Gandalf didn't come back more powerful per se, he came back having revisited his divine origin and thus less "human"; he also came back the "head" of the order which basically just let him cast Saruman out. I don't think he exhibits any special powers he wouldn't have had other than being able to break Saruman's…

It's funny, I came here to say, "this is why we don't trust your judgement, George," but your words are so much more satisfying. Lady Stoneheart was a terrible idea from the start, that's why she's not in the show.

Whoa you are right. I though the pun was around serial ports.

I think this is the perfect time for a sequel to Flesh+Blood. It could be sort of a wistful, "what-could-have-been" character reunion, like Before Sunset but Paul Verhoeven.

Site uses responsive design, which wasn't a thing back in the 90s. Serial Killer's been keeping up on coding trends, but not aesthetic trends.

I can guarantee without checking that I've never heard the linked "hit songs." I think Nolan's version of the story is legit.

BuzzFeed. If they are still a thing.

Groo the Wanderer.

It is particularly bad luck if you say it out loud at the movie theater box office where this film is showing.
