really gets the noggin joggin

Why did they accept the rings in the first place?

t. pleb who has only watched the mobies

but what was Tolkiens Inheritance tax policy?

ILLUMINATI FUCKIGN CONFIRMED

*air horns*

It allowed them to control their people

When a demi-god gives you shit, you usually think it's going to be powerful. But the Elves didn't get their rings from Sauron, they were made without Sauron's help so they couldn't be controlled. Dwarfs lost a load of their rings and those that weren't lost just twisted the Dwarf's personalities (greed, stubbornness, apathy, vengeance etc). Only the 9 Ring's for the humans worked as intended.

Actually it goes 3>7>1>9 in the original text so you can go fuck yourself. Any variation of numbers can have false meaning if you rearrange them.

haha take that jews and northern europeans


Anglo master race

The elven rings didn't corrupt the user like the others, but they were controllable by the 1. The elves had to take them off and hide them when Sauron had his on. They also lost power once the One was destroyed.

Whoops, 3791

why didnt sauron just put the ring on his dick so it couldnt be cut off when he went to grab people

>weebshit marketed towards children is better than one of the greatest literary works of mankind
Are you a autistic, a manchild, or both. Seeing how you're posting anime I'm guessing both

The only reason the LOTR movies exist is because Tolkien near the end of his life wanted a bunch of cash on hand for the extremely inheritance tax his kids would be forced to pay under the socialist Labour government at the time, so he sold the film rights for as much as he could get (I think 100K).

Which is what backwards

Ah, I see you are an individual who puts medium and identity over quality. I'm rather not fond of those who don't analyze things on a case by case basis, which is unfortunately more common these days. It makes some people to defend, such as the man accused of rape that I sometimes try to convince people of his innocence to no avail. One side writes him off as guilty instantly based on the colour of his skin and the other side does it based on his gender. It's horrendously anti-intellectual.

At any rate, I'm not autistic, just raised by one. I think I possess very good insight into people's motivations. I'm a very well rounded individual.

>over quality
Please tell me how a cartoon with a hackneyed story and setting has more quality than the world building and characters which have been one of the most influential pieces to the fantasy genre. In decades, perhaps centuries to come people will still refer to Tolkien while your flavor of the month anime will be forgotten

you seem to think that popularity is akin to quality. and perhaps you are right. Would you agree that shades of gray is one of the most influential fantasy novels as well?

What has Shades of Gray influenced at all? Tolkien's contribution to literature and the fantasy genre as a whole is completely unparalleled

>one of the greatest literary works of mankind
LotR is good for sure, but it's not one the greatest literary works of mankind, let's not go overboard here.

...

Nice argument. I can see why you believe that anime is the pinnacle of man's creation
