LOTR

The Leftist claimed Social Justice Wars and Game of the Toilet Seat...

Is J. R. R. Tolkien's masterpieces (Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Silmarillion) the only fantasy universe left for us?

Just google: Lord of the rings problematic

I just started rereading it. Only 100 pages in as of a few minutes ago but it’s still so good. No other book has ever made me feel as comfy as LotR and I’ve read a lot and generally hate fantasy.

No. It's an eco-terrorist wet-dream. Literally Green Party propaganda. Sauron=industrial strength.

oh don't worry, they'll remake LOTR with every hobbit, wizard, and warrior turned into a flaming queer pan-gendered nigger

Check your elf privilege

I will post Lotr themed, rare picures.
If the mods don't mind.

Agree
why do you assume that all people who care about the environment are leftist cucks?
I'm a vegitarian for 3 years and i still voted AFD.
trany aragorn and a muslim frodo?

Just find me a single scene in GoT or Star Shit that come close to that...

Read Malazan book of the fallen. IMO its much better than Tolkien's works.

Lord of the Rings is the best movie trilogy in the last 20 years.

if its much better then why havent i heard of it pleb

>it gets good as soon as you get past the first book

I'm still absolutely amazing the movie trilogy wasn't "diverse."

I am still disappointed that the ghost busters army seemed to do all the job in that final battle. Feels like they were using cheatcodes and it wasn't really a human victory

The LOTR story is about the success of multiculturalism against evil climate-changing monolithic unitary nationalist industrial power.

Will give it a try, but i don't want mdern leftist propaganda bullshit.
Also without Tolkin, this would not exist.
Tolkin basically invented modern high fantasy

Check out this audiobook version some dude made:
www DOOT mediafire DOOT com/folder/cjjdiknzeieol,6jmo2c5q9vbll,jdmyib22aeqpm

full music from the films
spot on voices for all characters
unabridged
amazing production values

It's literally the best way to experience it.

Great op pic by the way dude

...

not Sup Forums you faggots

you never read the books, do you?

so what do you crybaby like instead?
let my guess.. Harry Potter?

although it's a bit postmodern/poststructuralist, there are plenty of based characters in malazan book of the fallen.... however, there is also plenty of race mixing in that series, but also with detrimental effects, for example leading to the watering out and virtual death of the jaghut race

How about C.S. Lewis Universe, user?

THE FATE OF US ALL
LIES DEEP IN THE DARK

It's also on youtube here, but it get's taken down pretty often because it's not official: youtube.com/watch?v=P1bcmF7BrwE&list=PLwHU0RDE7s7HkeJFrYx3XuXi0Hjqk3MGD

I love the Musi, nothing comes close.

post some trap threads then you fagg ausie
thank you my dude

I read all the books.

Elves+Humans+Dwarves+Hobbits (multiculturalism) against a nationalist patriotic society united by a single ideology (Sauron).

Thanks. Not a fan of audio books (I’m a slow reader) but this does sound good.

I have to admit, if these filthy cunts ever seriously attempt to ruin LOTR, God will be unable to help them. They are without question the best movie series of all time.

I literally love the thought of Aragorn and Arwen living their lives out in love and having beautiful children.

It's closer to a radio dramatization than an audiobook. sfx, the great soundtrack from the films, and he really does nail the voices.

Even if you aren't into audiobooks it's still the best way to read lotr, especially for the first time. So much more emotive with the soundtrack, without it lotr can be really dry, especially in the less exciting moments.

Man, I just want the true Star Wars, Disney just straight fucking butchered the title with nigger pandering and progressive pseudo-samaritanism. I want my droids back.

The good thing about LOTR is that is finished and has been for decades.

There is no sensible way to introduce new SJW bullshit into new sequels invalidating/changing the canon.

As soon as a work of fiction becomes just a reference to recent political events it loses a lot of its power and truth. It is no longer timeless, it now carries a sell-by-date.

Anybody else been playing Shadow of War recently?

The game only has one nigger in it (who doesn't show-up very often), and he's a black Haradrim (Middle-Earth sandnigger) who was raised by white adoptive parents in Osgiliath. The game's narrative basically mentions that different races live in different nations on Arda in this way; a far cry from forced multiculturalism, and realistic for the world itself.

Also, all of the other characters are white; and the female knight and the female elf ranger are blonde eye-candy, so feminists didn't get their way either.

On a side note, the way the collectible artifacts tell lore from Arda's history (a lot of it coming from Tolkien's "The Silmarilion"), is really cool.

No faggot, William Gibson neuromancer/idoru series and even th pattern recognition/peripheral span is more realistic. Stop smoking bongs

Tolkien has written extensively about his hatred of allegory. He didn't want to write a story with a deep message/relation to the real world, he wanted to write a damn good book.

no homo, i cried in this scene the first time and just did again.

you did good germanbro.

Yeah this, it might get remade later down the line and they might shove WE WUZ GONDORIANS like that shadow of war game.

Fingolfin has the biggest balls.

Shadow of War/Morder are just too boring for me. Everyone talks about how great the nemesis system is, and yeah it's a cool system.

But the actual gameplay is just boooring. Same old wait-counter-wait-counter asscreed style combat, it bored me to tears.

Plus it completely shits over all the lotr lore.

Dumb

thank God it released just before all this kikery was enforced.

what is it about?
yeah all white/ western cultures... should be united. Also all orcs are black and then we have the easterlings/golden-army(Mongols) and the Haradrim (Muslims/Arabs).
Lucas was based till he sold it to (((Disney)))
this!

>The LOTR story is about the success of multiculturalism

Sauron uses niggers and poos (Haradrim and other "Easterlings") as mercenaries. Niggers basically sold-out the huwhites to Satan for some shekels.

The elves are meant to be the model of perfect Aryans. Dwarves are Jews. Orcs literally hate pretty things. Everything in LOTR is based on racial pre-determinism.

bullshits. Sauron & morgoth big jews. How many times did they pretend they were good boys and then they trick everyone AGAIN

bruh

Star Wars hasn't actually been SJWified yet. The marketing is doing a good job of convincing people of that, but any flaws the new films may have are unrelated to any kind of leftist slant or agenda. I'm still, to this day, wondering why Rogue One is Trump's worst nightmare. Game of Thrones issues are limited solely to the TV show, which no one with any self respect should be watching anyway. The books will never be finished at this rate, so you can stick a fork in it regardless of what the left tries to make of it.

Tolkien was asked about a lot of this shit before he died, literally none of LOTR is metaphor for real life except for Tom Bombadil.

All that shit is your interpretation.

Silmarillion is literally one of the best redpills out there. It's impossible to read through that book without evaluating your current standpoint on racial biology and hierarchy.

>it completely shits over all the lotr lore

Not completely, just heavily.

Celebrimbor wuz a real smith/kang in the Silmarilion.

This is so dumb. His book is entirely allegory by its nature of being a fantasy mythos. To suggest that he applied none of his real world experience from world war Britain is to not have known Tolkien

why Sup Forums always wants to think everything is about them. everything is a metaphor for Nazism vs "muh Jew boogieman". In every fucking work of fiction, videogames everything. Nothing is about you, has never been.
Nah dude, nah. Grow up.

Wolfenstein II is gonna be great. Deal with it.

I could deal with the lore being ruined if the actual gameplay was more fun.

Just not my kind of thing, I'm tired of this endless open-world-with-mediocre-combat cookie cutter game genre. mgsv is the only one that's held my attention, because it actually had challenging and fun gameplay

That's your generalization. Some people like you and me are not extreme rightwingers in Sup Forums.

Fuck outa here with this bullshit, how many times does this need to be debunked.

>"But I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the proposed domination of the author."

GoT was made by a feminist and intended as leftist commentary (stronk womyn and only single womyn can be stronk). they didn't claim shit.

SW has no SJW elements.

homie but it's amazing look at the quotes of the authors themselves. do they pander to nazi ideology? no, not at fucking all. Yet this retards pretend it does. Just because it has white skinned main characters. Jesus fucking christ man... Pure ideology = Pure cancer.

how would yo rate the game?
do you like?
I need a new one.
sadly he lost the battle

>reading fiction
If you aren't at least a multimillionaire, why are you wasting your time?

Surely he had to relate to his own experiences - there are no others.

But allegory would mean to relate not only to the experiences but also come to conclusions relevant in the real world.

He described wars like he experienced them but it would be really dumb to read LOTR as a literal retelling of WWI.

fuck off antifa fagg with your invented quote.

reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/329b44/today_ive_sadly_learned_that_jrr_tolkien_was_a/

of course you are american

1984 is a cautionary tale. The writer wanted people to stop following Nazism and Communism avoid having the same fate as Winston Smith.

>lore

Meh, Tolkien always intended for there to be more elf wraiths up to ????

Or this

>"Thank you for your letter. I hope that you have enjoyed The Lord of the Rings? Enjoyed is the key-word. For it was written to amuse (in the highest sense): to be readable. There is no 'allegory', moral, political, or contemporary in the work at all."

>"The Lord of the Rings was actually begun, as a separate thing, about 1937, and had reached the inn at Bree, before the shadow of the second war. Personally I do not think that either war (and of course not the atomic bomb) had any influence upon either the plot or the manner of its unfolding. Perhaps in landscape. The Dead Marshes and the approaches to the Morannon owe something to Northern France after the Battle of the Somme. They owe more to William Morris and his Huns and Romans, as in The House of the Wolfings or The Roots of the Mountains."

>"The real war does not resemble the legendary war in its process or its conclusion. If it had inspired or directed the development of the legend, then certainly the Ring would have been seized and used against Sauron; he would not have been annihilated but enslaved, and Barad-Dûr would not have been destroyed but occupied. Saruman, failing to get possession of the Ring, would in the confusion and treacheries of the time have found in Mordor the missing links in his own researches into Ring-lore, and before long he would have made a Great Ring of his own with which to challenge the self-styled Ruler of Middle-earth. In that conflict both sides would have held hobbits in hatred and contempt: they would not long have survived even as slaves."

How many times does the man himself need to deny any intention of allegory? He literally debunked this bullshit when the second edition was printed, right in the introduction. But it still get's brought up.

wew lad

the point flew over you tiny brain by a mile.

what? did you seen the last 2 star wars movies?

I didn't invent shit look it up. Stop being retarded.

the shadow of war game is trash dawg, the SJW infiltration has begun
>WHOA smashing buttons in combat a cool real fun innovation

Yup. Only way to interpret them as SJW (female char does stuff, vaguely-kinda-nazi-ish antags) would be to interpret the original SW as SJW -- which is a plausible argument but not one I care to entertain.

If you want to speculate about allegory, the closest is the (kinda interesting imo) dynamic of the Republic and First Order not being at outright war, but the Republic having to secretly fund "moderate rebels." Even so, that's a stretch.

Oh, fuck off, you burger cunt.

It's just ecology vs heavy industrialism.
any Sup Forumstard here trying to find hidden meaning for to justify their own ideologies is a retard Period.

you never read his books did you?
the books are extremly pro western, and Tolkin was a harcore christian.
Also: "men of the West unite" against a DARK Lord with his black tokens, Orcs.
youtube.com/watch?v=FjZY2EfR-f8&ab_channel=Joris

lotr isn't allegorical you fucking commie bastard, stop trying to pretend that it is. It's the simplist kind of good vs evil story, that literally any political ideology can project itself onto.

>shitposting on Sup Forums in the middle of the night
If you aren't at least a multimillionaire, why are you wasting your time?

>Plus it completely shits over all the lotr lore.

the absolute fucking state of lorefags. worship christopher's cock some more will you, tolkien fucking loved people writing middle-earth stories as long as they loosely followed the framework

>vaguely-kinda-nazi-ish antags
ok

>the spawn of literal manifestation of darkness and hunger is the unsung hero
>also not a giant spider

/tg/ had a huge nerd rage thread about the shit.

I read all. Just because the characters are white skinned it doesn't means it's about Ethno Nationalist Ideology.
Especially later on when races start mixing too.

sorry to say but you're blinded by your ideology, you put your beliefs on Tolkien's as if they were his. Find sourced quotes where he says it's for Ethno Nationalism and shit. Otherwise everything you say it's based upon nothing.

Narnia is also white supremacist? it has white protagonists. Thats your logic.

>nazis invented standing in formation
ok

Shadow of bullshit is literally just a parade of

>ooh, remember this character from the mooovies?
>ooh, remember THIIIs character from the mooovies, except now she's a human with tits

I actually enjoy playing games that have good writing in them.

It's not even ecology vs industry.
It's classic romanticism. It is a pre-modern fantasy.
Yes, the scouring of the shire looks pretty industrial, but what is lamented most is not the ecological but the social destruction brought about by Saruman. But it is just an echo of the purer and pre-industrial evil that Sauron was.

Well Narnia actually is heavily allegorical, it's promoting a traditional christian family values world. Have you actually read Narnia, by the end it's literally god propoganda.

...

>Pure ideology = Pure cancer
says the commie who's too scared to show his real flag. I'm not even a nationalist but this fake flag stuff is bullshit.

director of the force awakens....

kek

You've got to be kidding.

Didn't Shelob try to eat Frodo in the Return of the King, though? Or is it different in the books?

Yup. But by injecting him with venom and trying to kill him, her secret pact with Gollum worked! :^)

yea and Sam save him

wrong, it's the peoples of europe uniting against globalism
youtube.com/watch?v=Isq6YltjRRU

I know. It's Catholic af. But is it about race? no. Neither LoTR. LoTR is simply Nature vs Industry. Thats the only "political" theme it touches.

You retarded inbred motherfuckers are just projecting into every piece of art as if you made it but you didn't do shit... s m f h

Does some user has a reco for a lotrish like game?
I've played that mod for Total War for 300+ hours

>Silmarillion
To me it was impenetrable fucking garbage when I was 15
I don't think I have the presence of mind to read it now, chances are nobody in this thread has read it

>Baranor is the greatest sign that Monolith is learning how to revamp this universe in ways that even the films did not. As Salisbury described Baranor, he explained that it's very important to create "a character that's well-rooted in the [Middle-earth] universe" but it's also important to design a character that reflects the perspectives of the world nowadays, in a body of work that deserved to be updated.

Maybe there will be enough online bitching to get them to make Sambo the star of the next game.

Right, but a hero is someone who acts selflessly to save others. An unsung hero is a hero who is not recognised as a hero. She is not a hero, because she was just trying to eat him, and hence is not an unsung hero. Also, your picture says she tried to eat him in the Two Towers, which is what I was asking about.

First chapter is literally the most boring and hard to read.
