my fam is doing our annual rewatch of the lord of the rings movies and i’ve come to the conclusion that when they’re trying to go over the pass of caradhras and gimli is like ‘we should go through mines of moria instead’ and there’s that long saruman speech about how gandalf doesn’t want to go into moria because he knows what the dwarves awoke there, and then gandalf … immediately doesn’t say any of that to any of the party 

…that’s basically the equivalent of, in dnd, if the dm had just given a whole prepared monologue of information to gandalf’s player of things gandalf should already know …

….and then when they go ‘so do you tell the rest of the party that?’ gandalf’s player just goes ‘no.’

and i’m losing my shit
