We don't have companies called Militech or anything, we have companies named shit like Poob. Palantir is the only suitably evil sounding company

Raytheon sounds pretty evil. BlackRock as well.

Palantir. Literally an evil wizard orb.

Anduril. Flame of the west. Spankbank fantasy of every white supremacist techbro that wants to murder nonwhites through drone proxies.

Ackshually the palantir were created by Feanor in the first age and were just kinda like telephones. The orbs themselves are neutral leaning towards good, it's just evil wizards got 2 of the last like 4 that are around.

ill give you credit for having at least read some of the silmarillion (or maybe watched that amazon show? do they cover that?), but know this is done begrudgingly and I do not condone this behavior

I am a massive Tolkien nerd. Can't stand fantasy otherwise

Probably why they rebranded to RTX after the recent merger.
