re: Medium article: No, Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" isn't Christian...

This is just Amazon proxies in media informing you of the upcoming failure that will be their adaptation of devout Catholic JRR Tolkien’s work.

I’m going to watch the first episode just to see who they made a tranny. My money is on Pippin.

This is the epitome of “an article/op Ed that absolutely no one asked for”

A. Anyone can post drivel on Medium.

B. Regardless of the books, the movies were terribly boring.

Back on topic, this a-hole likely knows what Tolkien was doing in writing LotR. He knows full well that he's wrong. He's just letting anyone who gives a damn know that the work is being retconned into devious, woke garbage. He's rubbing your nose into it.

It’s obviously Gollum.

Too easy. Not enough woke points to be earned. They’re going to mock his works by forcing wokeism down your throat using a beloved character like Pippin.

quote:

It’s simply a fact: Tolkien wrote a fantasy without God in it.

Uhhhhhh….does this guy know who Eru Iluvitar is? I’m guessing he’s never actually read the books.

Reminds me of Ray Bradbury stopping appearing on college campuses due to students and professors getting into arguments with him about what "Fahrenheit 451" was about. They would talk and talk about censorship, when he said it was about how mass media was making people so stupid that censorship would eventually be unnecessary.

This theme showed up indirectly in the Rodney Dangerfield movie, "Back to School":

"Next time I call Robert Ludlum!"

This puts me in mind of a scene in Rodney Dangerfield's "back to School"
