The Third Era would've been far more dramatic sounding, especially when spoken by Patrick Stewart.[0]
Sorry, I couldn't help but draw an Elder Scrolls comparison here:
"Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land."
"I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see."
"These are the closing days of the Third Era, and the final hours of my life."
Each statement could just as well have been spoken by your typical late 30s web developer that's seen some shit. That's lived through innumerable instances of framework and toolchain hell. That's probably being pushed into management because they're almost 40.

- _bxg1 6y ago"And Gandalf said: 'This is your realm, and the heart of the greater realm that shall be. The Third Age of the world is ended, and the new age is begun; and it is your task to order its beginning and to preserve what must be preserved.'"
- rl3 6y agoI stand corrected! Equally dramatic-sounding. :) Ironic that Gandalf was of course played by Ian McKellen in the films, and is good friends with Patrick Stewart.
