What about those tree people? The tree people were the best walkers and the strongest warriors.

I need to re-read LOTR. There was a time when even the most minor differences in the film stood out to me. Now everything is a blur. But thank god the film threw Tom Bombadil in the bushes.

lol I don't think they even sent troops in the book. they were just like "we took care of shit in the past; we don't care anymore. bye losers."

yes, the passive aggressiveness and patronizing. not just on matters of the ring but on how to run the human kingdoms, who should run them, why , etc etc.

The Dwarves may have been a cross between autistic engineers and drunken fratstars but at least they were personable.

I don't recall that in LotR. Was it the supplemental stuff?

Weren't dwarves untouched by The Creator and didn't really possess a soul, also just like autistic engineers and fratboys?

Yea the dwarves were sort of like Japanese porn writers. They were so preoccupied with whether they could, that they never stopped to think if they should.

Sort of a side note but I think this is one of the best dismissals of knee jerk Tolkien imitation, and a fascinating tip on writing in general; his entire 4 minute spiel. Write what you know. The whole video is cool if you're into nerdy shit.

I could post examples, but it would put me on a watch list, and I may want to re-enter the USA again in this lifetime.

Worst part of LotR were the elves. What a bunch of losers

"well, we can't really help you. off to the undying lands well, you can stay here for a while. rest in the hospitality of the elves. "

"well, you have to leave now. you are holding true evil in your hands. "

"okay, well maybe we'll send you some troops. yeah, i know most of us are leaving to our islands but whatever "

"okay, well you can have this sword . you can have my daughter too i guess "

fuck off.

Please reformat similarly to The-Toast.net’s famed “dirtbag dionysus” et al.
