The wonder of Christmas resounds for one reason... Tolkien made it clear in his poem, "Noel".
The Misty Mountains looking West from the Eyrie towards Goblin Gate - J.R.R. Tolkien
"I had given a great deal more thought to the matter before beginning The Lord of the Rings; & that work was not specially addressed to children or any other class of people. But to anyone who enjoyed a long exciting story, of the sort that I myself enjoy." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, 1959
"Confusticate and bebother these dwarves..." ~ Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit
Watched The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies for the podcast this week. Realized that the battle is actually a Diablo dungeon crawler: the heroes kill thousands of creeps until you meet up with the boss where 2 or 3 of your party actually dies.
Heartless AI slop.
Coca-Cola’s annual Christmas advert is AI-generated again this year. The company says they used even fewer people to make it — “We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope… The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in”
"In this case the cause (not the 'hero') was triumphant, because by the exercise of pity, mercy, and forgiveness of injury, a situation was produced in which all was redressed and disaster averted." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, July 1956
"A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong." ~ Gandalf, The Two Towers
"By the time we got to post-production on The Return of the King, which was where we reviewed the decision, it simply no longer felt right. At that stage, the success of The Return of the King no longer hinged on having an Aragorn/Sauron showdown at the end." ~ Peter Jackson
"The kernel of mythology, the matter of Lúthien Tinúviel & Beren, arose from a woodland glade filled with 'hemlocks' near Roos on the Holderness peninsula--to which I occasionally went when free from regimented duties while in Humber Garrison in 1918." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, June 1955
These Tolkien "scholars" read their own racist biases into Tolkien and then proclaim him problematic... May we all be like @LostHistory9 and defend Tolkien from these imbeciles everyday.
She gets so much wrong here. First of all, the Numenoreans weren't the "first men". The first men were the Atani who awoke at Hildórien. Secondly, while the various races in Middle-earth certainly do have biological differences, that isn't why Tolkien considered some of his…
"The Nazgul they were; the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terrible servants; darkness went with them and they cried with the voices of death." ~ The Silmarillion
