There's a lot to read in to when you're talking about Tolkien. This is the wrong message to get out of it, when Boromir's death is more of a Biblical redemption arc.
They have a screwed up vision of reality and of anyone who disagrees with their warped philosophy. "The first time I saw the scene in an enraptured midnight-premiere audience, I remember my surprise that no one laughed or quipped in embarrassment." tells you all you need to know about the writer.
They've spent their entire adult lives seeing men as a monolith, and are shocked when they find out they're not.
Warren Farrell wasn't right about everything in The Myth of Male Power (I don't think even he knew the depths to which feminists and society would ignore men who spoke for themselves), but touches on this:
Feminism taught women that men were pigs and oppressors, and so they have no capacity to understand male relationships. You'd have to be pretty fucking ignorant to watch that scene in Fellowship and think "GAY!" or expect people to laugh. In fact, I don't think the possibility of the thought ever even crossed my mind until this jackoff put it there.
I think it being propaganda or agenda requires intent. If you go back far enough you can likely find examples that exist by complete accident. For example, 40 Days and 40 Nights was written by someone so detached from reality they could not see the pro-rape messaging of the movie.
So orcs represent black people according to them, and humans represent toxic masculinity, and murder represents "combat". Also, being helpful represents homosexuality if I remember correctly.
Now here I am, some luddite, thinking orcs represented orcs, humans represented humans, and murder represented murder. And being helpful represents being helpful. I'm glad Polygon exists to enlighten me!
I know is polygon and all but fucking shit this guys are mentally retarded. The trope of tough guy soldier being overemotional when he dies in battle is not something new, it is so fucking common that it would be surprising if it didn't happen.
And what is with all the fags focusing on LOTR? Are they payed to promote the new series in the worst fucking way possible? Are they trying to pave the way for tons of gays, diversity, trans and all that crap for the series and claim that LOTR was always faggotry we just did not notice?
Do these people think soldiers are actually emotionless robots? Of course soldiers are sad when their friend dies. They are just trained to ignore those feelings until after the battle.
Its my belief that they see Tolkien's work as sort of a Holy Grail of literary works to subvert and destroy. Its logical, its deeply thought out and carefully constructed.
Christopher Tolkien kept them at bay for so long, but now the wolves are circling. Just take look at the discussions the Tolkien Society has recently been hosting.
Also SJW's: HOW FUCKING DARE THIS ACTOR NOT SHIP HIMSELF WITH ANOTHER ACTOR, FUCKING SCUMBAG SAID THESE MEN WHO ARE FRIENDS ARENT GAY????? IN OUR HOLY MONTH?????
Dumbasses are trying to do exactly what Sauron wanted to do. Don't Frodo and Sam see a moth with the 'eye of sauron' as a wing pattern on it? They won't stop unless they're stopped.
The author of this is called Zev Chevat. She is a tranny, who does incredibly ugly art. Also, she claims to be non-binary, because loping off your tits wasn't mental enough for her.
What sort of name is Zev? She was so dumb she couldn't be trusted to give herself a presentable fake name.
Then blame the directors, script writers, and producers.
We are talking about movies.
LOTR is a set of books. Read them. I thought the movies in no way held the depth of character of the books. In fact, I thought the movies sucked.
These retards read way to hard into shit it's insane

"When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail."
People hundreds of years ago mocked and belittled people who thought like that, wish we still did it today.
I see a lot of nails. In my construction job.

This is like when I rewatch a movie from years ago and see the feminist agendas.
They're not actually there, but I've gone so deep into politics that I can't help seeing them.
These people see commie shit in everything because they wish it was there, while I see it because I'm so used to it being there I expect it.
Yep, the inconspicuously subversive propaganda is the most effective propaganda.
I think it being propaganda or agenda requires intent. If you go back far enough you can likely find examples that exist by complete accident. For example, 40 Days and 40 Nights was written by someone so detached from reality they could not see the pro-rape messaging of the movie.
Jesus, he shows sign of self awareness and you come in and reinforce it. :D
It is there, although you might go a bit too far down the feminism hole and miss some of the other facets of the propaganda.
Don't stick your dick in that!
Probably razor blades in it.

I think you figured it out. This is promoting what Amazon wants for their series.

Normal humans: What a touching scene.
SJWs: Peter Jackson’s trilogy sold a brotherly kiss to an audience allergic to male intimacy.
Anyway this is all part of the propaganda push to appropriate Tolkien since they were unsuccessful in cancelling him.
SJW's: Males are allergic to male intimacy
Also SJW's: HOW FUCKING DARE THIS ACTOR NOT SHIP HIMSELF WITH ANOTHER ACTOR, FUCKING SCUMBAG SAID THESE MEN WHO ARE FRIENDS ARENT GAY????? IN OUR HOLY MONTH?????
The same assholes who think orcs are meant to represent black people.
The boot fits the behavior, but alas. Nope.

And here I thought it was meant to convey that he also died in the book.
fake geek trash
It's ragebait clickbait.
So then by extension, the Uruk-hai were the heroes? Oh, of course! They were black.
No one tell the writer that in Europe that a dude kissing another dude on the cheek is considered normal.
Then blame the directors, script writers, and producers. We are talking about movies. LOTR is a set of books. Read them. I thought the movies in no way held the depth of character of the books. In fact, I thought the movies sucked.
