tolkien rolling in his grave

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

He rolled in his grave when Ralph Bakshi made that animation.

LOTR exists only in book form

    Naw, Holes is about the same, only difference is Stanley Yelnats isn't portrayed as dumb in the movie.

    Far cry from what Peter Jackson and Co. have done to LOTR.

      he didn't want whites fighting each other. His books are about the west vs the east

        he was right about that, nazis were into some stupid myths

        Tolkien knew about myths, of course he used them for his fiction.

        tolkien rolling in his grave

        how could anyone possibly have a problem with this. CANT WAIT to hear this explanation.

        he was based as hell.

        tho I admit the orcs were meant to symbolize black people, so they could have still had black actors in this and have it make sense.

        wow you certainly cleared that up in an intelligent way as usual!

        facts hurt eh

        [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (15 children)

        Orcs are not meant to symbolize black people. Show me where Tolkien says that.

        [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

        entire saga is about traditional europe being overrun by savages

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

        Show me where Tolkien says this?

        You have retarded views that Tolkien himself debunked.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

        go read the books not tolkien interviews, he didn't want to talk about his books or explAIN THE MEANING WHIC

        sorry for caps, but which I respect him for.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

        Read his Letters compilation. He clearly debunks your views.

        Also, read the opening to LOTR where he talks about applicability being better and more worthwhile than allegory, and that LOTR is applicability not allegory.

        You describe an allegory.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

        didn't debunk the views

        tolkien has based views and was against race mixing, you could say he was a product of his time I guess, but it was a good time and we should go back to it.

        I'm going to make a new thread and fucking shove his words down your throat.

        You are dumb old person, I hope you know that.

        Could have been taking about American tourists.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

        would have mordor be to the west then

        at the end they get on a boat and head to the new world to the west, it represents heaven. Yeah I think tolkien was pro America.

          everybody on the left is a victim

          not true at all, but im neither because aligning with a 'side' is stupidity. also, youre wrong as fuck on this:

          KKK=BLM

          we at least got riots and murders and shit with blm. this is what a modern kkk rally looks like:

            as usual, that has nothing to do with what i posted. i cant imagine missing the point more there.

              you specifically said,'kkk=blm'. i was pointing out how preposterous that is. with a video showing a kkk rally from not long ago. you proved my point for me. how did you not pick up on that?

                Are you capable of comprehending my previous reply? I'm not sure how to spell out better without a diagram.

                  Dude, let me take one of your precious creations and absolutely rape it into oblivion, change it so it barely resembles it's true form, and also make a butt load of cash riding your coattails

                  Tell me that you would like that, please.

                  It's obvious Amazon and others are intent on destroying LOTR like they did Star Wars.

                  The disrespect of you damned impurists knows no height.

                  The maori thing is a weird choice seeing as most of it's been shot in a studio west of London.

                  Also maoris are know for being quite tall.
