Guillermo himself said when he saw the James Whale movie he finally understood Christ.

I want that Nightmare Alley b/w edition so bad

Oh right... time jump, God i hadn't even considered that

The Miriel "marriage for peace" theory looking likely... it would give him the false sense of security he'd need

I do think Halbrand, being king of the southlands, and the "southlands" now being Pelargir, will certainly scare him into moving against Sauron. Ar-Pharazon isn't about to give up the hold he has on those people.

Also he might be terrified the Faithful will, again, ally with Sauron (unknowingly).

Him knowing who Sauron is now will probably be the key to the whole plot of season 3. Kind of annoying how awkwardly season 2 moved to that development though...

Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, slayyy

And it makes me wonder... what you actually GOT out of those relationships with those people? Was it just a one way street for you? You saw them as a tool to make you feel better or to simply affirm you? Then congratulations. Now you get to keep them that way forever.

So if you're watching an A.I reconstruction of a dead loved one and you're GENUINELY pleased with how they're represented... a part of me has to question how well you knew them. If you even loved them at all. If any of the nuances of their personality ever really mattered to you.

For the first thing, A.I does not successfully recreate human speech. It might be good enough for a made up, new human character, but not at any SPECIFIC human you know. The nuance is impossible to capture no matter how much data you have. You can't replicate my memories of those conversations.
