Tolkien was out burning crosses on lawns or even that it was a conscious effort on his part, it might just be the prejudice of the times he was writing. Watching the movies, one thing I did notice was that Lord of the Rings is racist. Every single time they get in trouble a bunch of elves save them. (Can I mention here that the people in the Hobbit are the world’s worst adventurers? Throughout that whole movie they can’t do anything write. Then, because I am an idiot, I watched the Hobbit movie, which was quite extensive temporally. A lot of people whose taste and opinions I trust have said that they get better, but… I’m not gonna live forever and I don’t know if I want to spend anymore time following Frodo through the enchanted swamps of Dwarf Town. Like a hundred pages of a bunch of dudes just walking around singing stupid ass Elf songs. First there was a dumb party that took forever, followed by a lot of walking around. So that Christmas I got the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a present and was stoked. Anyway, when I was in middle school I read the Hobbit and actually got into it. I don’t usually like any fantasy stuff because I don’t like dragons and tree-people and twelve-sided die. ![]()
