You can only fight evil if you recognize, and too many are blind to it.

In films, you see the preoccupations of a culture in real time. You see the shadow they're not aware of. We know this evil, we've been studying it for years. Mindless, unstoppable hoards of zombies — or orcs — that serve forces of death. That spread mindlessness. We've known for decades it was coming. Not just us, the whole culture knew it was coming. Now it's here.

It was always tiny bands that held the forces of darkness at bay. Everyone clamoring for power, for the one ring to rule them all, except for little Israel, except for Frodo with Sting and Sam. Intermittent aid from dwarves, elves and a wise man, but in the end, it came down to the little ones to save the world. We know this story so well.

And we know how it turns out.
