Do you think that it is my “opinion“ that this pile of garbage doesn’t follow Tolkien’s lore?



As I said, you hate facts..

You didn’t say “this show doesn’t follow the lore. You said

Fake white knighting a shite show that not only doesn't respect the lore, but actively tries to bury it is worse.


“shite show” is an opinion

“Doesn’t respect the lor is your opinion

“Actively tried to bury it” is also your opinion.

The show being different than the books is a a fact.

Anything judgment as to whether that is a good bad or neutral thing is an opinions

“There are no black dwarves in Tolkien’s books” is a fact.

Everything you have to say about the quality of the show as a result of that is your opinions

Your opinions are why I think You’re racist.

As to slander, it is a fact that in the past you’ve made up stories about me lynching people.

It doesn’t follow the lore & activity dumps on Tolkien.

That’s not opinion.

That’s demonstrable. And we’re not just talking skin color either. Characters have been wholly overwritten and appear so wildly out of their original timeline that it renders any connection to the original work as nonexistent.

Not just my opinion.

It’s the opinion of thousands if not millions of fans as well as Tom Shippey, The leading living authority on all things Tolkien.

And when you start talking about updating a timeless classic… That’s not opinion either. That comes straight from the horses mouth. The show runners and adult pretenders a.k.a. actors who think they are exceeding where Tolkien failed.

Their arrogance and hubris isn’t simply by mistake. They’re doing it on purpose.

So it’s an opinion.

It’s a fact that you can’t cite this opinion coming from Shippey.

That once again is your opinions

Tolkien set out to write a book. Which Christopher Tolkien and Guy Gabriel Kay pieces together and in somePlaces finished. He didn’t intent for this book to be one narrative.

That doesn’t mean that book would make a good television show. And that doesn’t mean Tolkien failed. He didn’t set out to write a book that would make a good television show. If he was he would have likely included a ton more dialogue.

If you want to talk about arrogance I’d direct you to your posts where you’re so sure of yourself you continuously act like your opinion is fact.

Deflection & denial…

Good grief.

This isn’t just about one damn book. It’s about an entire elaborate world he created.

Which the show has clearly forgotten.

You’re trying to talk about the Silmarillion which of course this show isn’t even about. . Because they don’t have the rights to that either. But nice try.

I could imagine Sammytiger and bronc and his soy boy homo friends finally going into the real world and leaving their parents basement and try and use their white privilege to speak reason into this nola baw.

We are one of you. We don’t even wanna be white.

This guy definitely isn’t a racist homophobic POS.

He just loves Tolkien.

For context, he is somehow trying to rope me into a story about some poor girl getting her hair caught in a concert or belt at MSY and dying. Pure insanely.

Y’all are an unhinged lot.

You and your trans friends thought you could bully OML and others and you found out real quick that you can’t.

It's sad this is what the world has come to. people with no satisfaction in their real lives getting their rocks off on trying to prove they are right about a show sucking before it is even released I hope if they are correct it will be the validation they need so badly.

I'm gonna tune in to the premiere and then will decide whether or not I wanna continue watching.

I'm sure even if I fall in love with the show and think it is the best thing since The Wire they will be able to tell me why I'm wrong
