Hey there, liers, pretenders and shills. Here’s an original fantasy story many of us grew up watching. Full of diverse cast. But nobody gave a damn, because the film is good.
#Willow
The Witcher star Anya Chalotra explains Yennefer's style of magic has evolved in Season 3, with the show seemingly drawing from Indian dance for inspiration.
Mithril is a health potion to Elves.
Mordor is created by a turn of a key.
Celeborn gets called a Silver Clam.
Galadriel is fireproof.
“Sooooo Tolkien”
My oh my, shills, that second of attention better be worth it. Because Amazon doesn’t give a shit about you in the end.
Anyone who says "It's fantasy so anything goes" clearly knows nothing about storytelling, worldbuilding and the fact that Secondary Worlds must have rules of their own. But not everybody can be a storyteller, I know. There is no trace of one in Hollywood today.
The fact that a billionaire businessman gets it better than an “author” speaks volumes about the world today. I wouldn’t go to Gaiman for advice on literary criticism even if you paid me.
To support my friend, here is a direct quote from The Biography of Tolkien. Because you CAN provide evidence, unlike some sick wackadoodledoo Rings of Power simps.
"In a way". Elaborate? No? Why?
Elaboration destroys any narrative you would try to push about "queer reading" in Tolkien. Sam is based on the privates/batmen of WW1. He is Frodo's friend and servant. They're not gay, no matter how much you want them to be.

I am truly curious how many Tolkien “fans” will change their mind when they see The Rings of Power and let themselves be fooled by a couple of shots of New Zealand, some rolling Rs and the 5% of names that actually come from Tolkien’s books.
I, European Lore, stand with the work of professor Tolkien and all good traditional stories that have grasped the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers all around the world since the dawn of storytelling.
Namárië
I understand normies looking forward to
#TheRingsofPower
. They just excitedly consume every diarrhea presented to them. But“Tolkien fan-sites” and “Influencers” who promote it are the worst kind of Gríma-like barf beings imaginable.
We cannot let and support degenerates misinterpreting who Tolkien was and what he stood for. Here's a video about a book to AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Link in comments. Cheers to

Whoever promotes The Rings of Power book cover and calls themselves a Tolkien fan doesn’t get to look me in the eye and call themselves a human.

This morning I overhead some students talking about
#TheRingsOfPower
. I went to my office, grabbed my reading copy of The Lord of the Rings and gave it to one of them. I don’t know if they read it or not, but the deed itself felt good.
I rarely respond to randos, but this take is very common among those with limited cerebral activity. Changes or no changes, the consensus about Jackson’s adaptations is obvious.
Watching the last episode of The CockRings of Power. I think there are certain people who owe
@Nerdrotics
and
@HAWTToys
an apology. This shitshow will be carved in history as the biggest joke ever put on screen.
Textbook example of using an out-of-context quote from a book (which Amazon doesn’t have the rights to adapt) to excuse poorly written non-canonical story.
The Acolyte boss Leslye Headland explains why the Star Wars show is emphasizing female villains: "As a queer girl growing up, if you don't identify with the heroes, and the villains show up and they're all queer-coded, you're like -- yes, that's me!"
Okay visuals are the only thing that you can use as a more or less valid argument to defend The Rings Of Power. That is why anyone criticising it triggers so many you, eh? Well, that speaks volumes. Let me use your own words: cry harder.
So, this is Tar-Míriel, a Númenorean, as depicted in
#TheRingsofPower
. I think I might just spend the rest of the day in the forest and take a long break from social media 😂😂😂 Mental health is important.
My sister, who has never read a single book written by Tolkien, just called me and said: “What the f*ck is this bullshit?” She didn’t even make it to the half of the first episode of
#TheRingsOfPower
A Slovakian commercial for a mineral water depicts an "Arthurian-like" knight and a hot fairy lady giving him water. Production looks better than most fantasy shows today (cough
#theringsofpower
cough) and no maniacs are being supported). Learn from this, USA.
#BudLight
The antithesis of everything that Galadriel is. Annoying on purpose. But then again, it shows who the target audience is - insufferable knock-offs of living organisms.
If your annoyed at Galadriel, I think that is the point. We’ve seen through Elrond and now Elendil that she is being reckless and needs peace.
She is on a journey and will get to where she needs to be. Wisdom comes through experience.
Happy Birthday to Sir Peter Jackson! A man who created the best adaptation in the history of cinema. Raise your horns of mead, my friends!

#thelordoftherings
The Lord of the Rings reboot is in full swing. Warner Bros. film chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy visited New Zealand earlier this year to reconnect with Peter Jackson and discuss future films.
Thanks, but I don't need you to tell me
#YouAreAllWelcomeHere
. I've always been welcome... by Tolkien's own words. His world of Arda has never been all white, but the lands of Middle-Earth (based on Northwestern Europe) were. Get over it.
And that is how history is re-written. People are willingly supporting that toilet paper of a show and “gently” trying to make it “canon”. The hearts of men are easily corrupted.

#ProTolkien
So, by the standards of 2023, if I say I IDENTIFY as Sauron, am I allowed to try to dominate all life? And will I have followers from Harad and The East? And everybody will HAVE TO call me The Dark Lord?
Just a quick reminder NOT TO BUY THESE EDITIONS WITH
#RINGSOFPOWER
COVERS as the show has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH the The Lord of the Rings books. Pic taken in Wexford, Ireland
I covered this in my latest video, but I would like to ask the distinguished Tolkien scholar Patrick McKay: Where EXACTLY can I read about Galadriel doing all sorts sparring with other Elves? For I much desire to know.
#TheRingsOfPower
To every “Tolkien” influencer out there who has been taking Amazon’s dick from behind: I am genuinely curious. Has it paid off in the long run? Has it been worth it? You can tell me, I won’t tell anybody else. I promise.
#TheRingsofPower
Just a reminder not to purchase modern video games if you give a damn about European culture. This is Angrboða in the God of War Ragnarök video game. In the mythogical stories she was a jötunn.
“The sad thing is a lot of people had judged the show before it even came out, so that was actually tough. But then you try to adapt to that and see what they are really looking for.
Some fans were mixing Peter Jackson’s films with Tolkien’s work, and we’ve been trying to stay

, I suggest checking out those on the left. For a proper adaptation, those on the right. And feel free to post pictures of some of your books and films, I’d love to see what you have.
Noah Berlatsky: J.R.R. Tolkien was not an outspoken racist like H.P. Lovecraft, but there’s a fairly straightforward case to be made that his books include racist ideas. -
