Happy Father's Day, my friend!
After watching your videos for about 4 years now, I can tell that you must be a great Dad.
Thanks!
Glad your not ashamed to watch a children's show!
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
― C.S. Lewis
I'd love to see another Bluey Analysis from you. This was honestly fascinating.
"You must become an ignorant man again
And see the sun again with an ignorant eye
And see it clearly in the idea of it."
(Wallace Stevens)
That's my two year old daughters favourite cartoon! What a funny overlap of interests, I've never paid Bluey much attention beyond thinking it sounded more pleasant than most of the others.
Bluey is, indeed, amazing. That's a nice subtle Tolkien connection... Though, as a big Star Trek fan as well, i just have to point out how amazing it is that the episode "Camping" is a direct lift of the TNG episode "Darmok".
And the French dog is called?...
Jean-Luc.
Of course, the _Luiniel_ version of Harador would make Huan depressed.
Oh, and Tolkien will have contributed to the Tamarian lexicon as well.
"Fëanor at Alqualondë" -- Someone REALLY won't see reason, and tragedy ensues.
"Isildur in the Sammath Naur" -- Blowing a will save, with tragic results.
"Frodo at Amon Sûl" -- Blowing a will save, with dangerous results.
"Frodo in the Sammath Naur" -- Blowing a will save, with deliverance.
"Frodo in the Barrow" -- Resisting a strong temptation.
"Samwise at Cirith Ungol!" -- You mess with my friend(s), you mess with me!
"Lúthien, in the Halls of Mandos" -- Accomplishing what seemed impossible.
"Merry and Éowyn at the Pelennor" -- Accomplishing what seemed impossible, with connotations of dangerous side effects.
"The Númenoreans, as time wore on" -- Coming to take benefits for granted and to treat them as entitlements.
"Celebrimbor, making rings" -- Someone's being manipulated by someone else that they've been tricked into trusting.
"Gandalf and Saruman at Isengard" -- Confronting a traitor. Close in connotation to "Obi-Wan and Anakin at Mustafar".
"Bilbo and the spiders in Mirkwood" -- Distracting the enemy to help your allies get away.
I watch Bluey with my 11 year old daughter. Have you watched the episode where they go on a D&D type quest and their mom uses the fantasy to reconnect with her lost sister by drawing horses. I partly read Tolkien as therapy. The episode teaches how to take a trip to the realm of Faerie and the amazing health benefits great fantasy can have. This episode truly captures the theme of Tolkien better than all the bid flashy studio films. I’m with you, I don’t consume much media outside of Tolkien but Bluey fits right with in. Thanks for sharing!
Are you talking about “Dragon”? Her sister wasn’t in that one that I recall.
@@TolkienLorePodcast Indeed, her horse was her lost mother, I thought.
"You're not coming, are you".
@@lotsofspots yes mother, not sister. My daughter would be disappointed in my Bluey lore
Great content! It's refreshing to identify such connections. Admire things as they are and feel amazed by reality... There's always something deep in Tolkien words that resounds with human nature.
I pretty much saw everything for the first time again when i was in my early 20's, i have a degenerative disorder of the corneas, when I finally got my contact lenses and put them in EVERYTHING looked amazing to the point I accidently walked into a tree because I was staring at moss growing on a wall
What a crossover.
It became my two year Olds favorite show and the more she watched the more I liked it.
Never expected to see you talking about Bluey but I like it
so you love the bright sword for its sharpness, and the arrow for its swiftness
lol that’s one way to twist my words.
One of my other fav CZcams channels (Anton "Hello Wonderful Person") ALSO mentioned green suns today. Being a science channel, he said of course they cannot exist... something something light at that temperature will only look white. But, green "pea" galaxies do exist. Anyway, a fascinating little coincidence. Btw, Gday from Australia and LOL mate, my sister has a kelpie named Bandit, he's got a few roos loose in the back paddock. Catchya.
A few roos loose. You mean like Sméagol?
More like some casual orcs
Bandit with the leaf has a nice visual call-back to Bingo and the leaf-insect in season 1.
Hmm...nice message, and not explicit, it let the story show it and kids figure it out.
Though I was expecting Bluey to become obsessed with painting the perfect leaf as prelude to painting the perfect branch and tree, neglecting/resenting time with his family and while obsessing about some mysterious looming "journey", but they probably landed on the better story. 😋
...Does make me wonder if tree and leaf was a loose inspiration.
Amazing as always, thank you for your work!
Honestly, I'd be more concerned about the ticks from the trees falling on me, than the insects in the grass, but where you live the mileage may vary.
I didn’t say the insects were IN the grass lol
Australian TV is always top.
Bluey is such a delightfully odd show.
bluey is peppa pig for our generation
Is Peppa pig at all deep? Never watched it, the art style repels and makes me think it's super pre-school.
Tolkien Geeks's furry arc begins.
First empty your cup.
