Narrative is moot because Tolkien wrote his characters as he intended.

Ahhhh, so story narrative no longer matters, what matters with Tolkien is what race his characters were written as.

I get it, I really do, that is the part that speaks most deeply to you, a world where everyone is white. But like I said, many fans of his work aren’t setting racial purity as the impenetrable wall for enjoying adaptations of his work.

I imagine the meat tits on CP3 is photo accurate and Kaiju just thew his lot in with insurrectionists, so yeah, I’d call the “characterization” fair….lol

One man's insurrection is another man's mostly peaceful protest.

The guilty little secret is the righteous fear of communists like you led to the rise of Hitler. The Nazis were evil, but also are evil and the people elected their archenemy to prevent people like you from killing them. Really backfired obviously, but your ideology has killed more people than any other.

Lol of course, the Commie!! screech, right on cue



I’m glad to see you just out and out making excuses for the Nazis lol

At least we finally have some honesty out of you. You are literally the modern equivalent of the 1930’s German far right conservative that was brainwashed into thinking they needed to embrace authoritarianism to fight a phantom threat.

It was never a fear buddy, the communist party of Germany in the 30’s was a niche movement. A movement shunned by the Socialist party, the conservatives, and the majority of Germany. But Hitler didn’t rise out of realistic fears, he rose out of appeals to emotion about returning Germany to greatness via catastrophizing and promising to dispel the threat of his enemies and exaggerating social cleavages and prejudicial boogiemen and using fear of them as a justification for authoritarian actions.

And the irony of you latching onto someone like Tolkien is rather ironic. Considering he would take one look at that post and absolutely despise you and all your being for that Nazi defense. Yet somehow in your warped brain you’ve convinced yourself your seething hatreds are actually reflected in his work, when his work was anything but

That there’s a difference between people that just want to smoke weed/want get along and those who burn black businesses to the ground? That’s not a lie.

That I support Antifa. Why do you need to make shite up about me to feel justified in your position?

Once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’ve pointed out other significant changes to character description that no one was crying about at the time and said I was being dumb.

Tolkien spends a whole paragraph in the hobbit telling the reader exactly what color each dwarf’s beard and cloak was and no one cried about Jackson chucking that part.

Like I’ve pointed out before, I’ve seen black actors play hamlet. And they were good and the themes of Hamlet still come through because it’s strong writing.

Apparently you don’t think Tolkien is a strong writer.
