Episode 17 - Are Men Weak? Investigating Elrond's Controversial Movie Line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hosts Angela and Kelsey examine Elrond's famous movie line "Men are weak" and debate whether humans truly are more corruptible than elves. They review examples across the ages—Isildur, Númenor, the Nine Rings, Fëanor's kin-slayings, and more—consider authorial bias, and argue that every race has notable failures and blind spots. The episode questions whether the line is fair or simply elvish propaganda.
