Parental Relationships in Rings of Power
Similarly to how I feel about the relationships in House of the dragon, I wanted to take a closer look at the relationships in Rings of Power. As we know character driven stories are the heart of all storytelling, so it's my goal to analyze these interactions and speculate wildly at what we might see in the future.

The Origin and Evolution of Mary Sue
The joy of internet discourse is people throwing terms around that they do not actually know the definitions of. One of the most used terms on the internet, used in attempts to discredit and criticize women lead projects is Mary Sue.

None of these women are Mary Sue’s and the term has evolved into an easy identifier for misogynistic asses who are incapable of valid criticisms but this was not always what the term was. So here we go, the origin of the term Mary Sue.

Though the two share the same overarching genre, their subgenres are different. House of the Dragon is medieval fantasy whereas Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is high fantasy. Now to be clear House of the Dragon, and Game of Thrones simply would not exist without Lord of the Rings and Tolkien. Let's not pretend that George R.R. Martin came up with original thoughts, he simply rearranged the furniture Tolkien built.
