Wet, or old dry and musty?

Isildur was not the good guy in this scene... wtf?
What if we view the meme as a joke on the account of the perspective pro-chrome people likely have it?
He killed Sauron, he is obviously the true hero in Lotr. All Frodo did was drop it into lava, anybody could have done that. In fact Isildur was such a big hero that the shattered remains of his sort were still revered in Elrond's house and also by the humans and also numenorians. Plus he was also a king.
But he was also too weak to destroy the ring when he had the chance, thus leaving the spirit of Sauron to remain and try to conquer Middle Earth.
He, and literally every other human in Middle Earth, not to mention every elf, dwarf, and maia, and presumably every ork, uruk-hai, trent, balrog, troll, and loreless abomination as well.
Isildur was the only one given such an easy chance. He had the ring, at the volcano, and failed to destroy the ring ...
That is not what this meme template means what
So, this meme is pro-surveilance and advertising based on the format. Weird flex, but I repsect taking ownership of the wrong perspective strongly.
