I think tolkien is overrated. She's a good writer and his books are good, but he's not even remotely the messiah his fans praise him as. People genuinely worship this man and i don't know why >he fought in ww1
So was antoine de saint exupery but nobody cares about the little prince >it's a christian metaphor
You wanna know a bigger christian metaphor? Narnia. main character is literally jesus in lion form. Why is lord of the rings a greater christian analogy? >he invented languages
anyone can invent languages, like the nerds who made klingon speech or esperanto >he is the father of fantasy
Wrong, and he said many times that he took inspiration from many folklore tales and books. Yes beowulf is a book, the oldest book in english history, not a fireplace story. Same for ivanhoe and the arthurian cycle. Not to mention the aforementioned christian tones and pseudoroman dodecatheon-esque pantheon of God. Still, the fact that talentless hacks like Terry Brooks, Stephen King or Christopher Paolini, alongside countless others, blatantly copied his style to make what became the more mainstream fantasyslop doesnt make him the father of and entire genre.
Half of Europe has read the Little Prince. I'm betting more people read it than LotR or even Hobbit simply because it's so short.
That's like saying Donald Duck is not a popular comic because no one in the Americas knows it.
ah yes the famous racist extremist that starred in black panther as the meek tiny weak and pathetic whitey in contrast to the statuary ebony demigods of wakanda. someone with a racist bone in his body would totally submit himself to such level of humiliation, right?
I fricking loved his character in BP. >Ah, shit. Trial by combat to determine our king didn't work out. What do we do? >Immediately resort to a coup backed by the fricking CIA
I've never seen Return of the King. I moved to the US in early 2004 when I was 12 and nobody wanted to take me to go see it because they had already seen it and didn't want to sit through it again.
>smacking his children when they were children
English really needs to pick up a common use word for offspring other than "children." It's always confusing.
You will never be able to make us feel self conscious for reading and enjoying books. There is no feasible narrative framework available to punish it effectively without either tacitly admitting to consuming the same thing we consumed, or tacitly admitting that you basically don't read because it's actually, literally difficult and burdensome for you to do so due to how stupid and poorly bred you are relative to the lotr fan. You accidentally posture yourselves below people who are historically plump in stature and socially inept. There is a great stereotypical bed already made for mocking tolkien and other fantasy fans but you don't engage it because you know that it applies directly to yourselves, and even more so than it applies to us, because we can read lmao
tolkein is marvel but for right wing incels
noooooooo

How do you respond without sounding mad?
ah yes the famous racist extremist that starred in black panther as the meek tiny weak and pathetic whitey in contrast to the statuary ebony demigods of wakanda. someone with a racist bone in his body would totally submit himself to such level of humiliation, right?
The israelites do it and they're the most racist peoples on earth.

based
lmao Bilbo is unfathomably BASED
What's his fricking problem?
He knew The Hobbit movies were shite
Holy shit, I now have a new favorite celebrity.
>flirts with woman
>woman says she liked it
>this is problematic somehow
Giga based. Nothing he said was bad.
Normalgay opinions from 10 years ago are now gigabased... the west has fallen...
authors of this unintentionally made him look way cooler
So that last one is obviously just a joke. A couple other must have been at least half joking too.
I love how lefties hate islamophobes and then pivot into hating "islamofacists" the moment a muslim calls a troony "freak".
>AND THEN I SAID, "I NOTICED ONCE THAT THE LEFT IS INCONSISTENT GUIZE"
leftists operating with zero principles or ideological consistency?
I really wish this max fellow would blow his brains out
Don't be a bad boy, Lester.

You're not missing much.
You missed the greatest cinematic event in human history.
I watched Avengers Endgame a few days early off pornhub like God intended.
It was a snorefest when I saw it in theaters. Way too fricking long.
yikes
yikes yourself this is a based take
Nah it’s a pathetic projection take basically saying “I’m a gay that loses their mind easily”
>smacking his children when they were children

Finish the book, fatty

Jannies just nuked a thread about this guy for no reason
I keep hearing I look like this guy, is that bad?
Martin Freeman is an attractive bloke, whoever told you that probably wants to suck your wiener.
