personally I always implement the multiverse into my stories mainly as a way of acknowledging that I'm aware that if any of my stories get any kind of following there are people who will make derivative works

ok I guess the proper question would be do you think he WOULD HAVE regretted publishing the books?

That freaked him out? That's like fandom 101 stuff. I guess the guy was incredibly naive about how readership works. Do you think he ever regretted publishing the books?

except It never says if she died or not. Just that she was lest bubbling" in her misery far away. which wouldn't make sense if she was doing some sort of stoic sacrifice....it just screams "Massive retcon we didn't really think ahead about."

So there is a Tolkienism religion?

Do you really think a normie is going to care? Normies weren't mad at the last Jedi because it didn't follow canon they were mad because the story decisions were not to their liking. If it had been Lucas instead of Rian Johnson they would have likely hated it all the same.

ok just because people can't make money off of it doesn't keep people from making derivative works. If it did then just about every fan site on the internet including this one would be non-existent. Money and pieces of Lawyer paper can change hands all it likes but it ultimately comes down to...

the one big issue I have with Shelob's portrayal in game as "Being potentially consistent with canon" is. If Shelob really had beef with Sauron and she could shapeshift into one of the fairest maidens in Middle Earth, would that not have been helpful for a certain hobbit companion to know so he...

really REALLY hot take so apologies for the match I'm about to light but I've come to believe that once anything is made public the concept of Canon goes out the window at least when dealing with a fictional/ahistorical work. LOTR should have never been published if canon was such a concern. Not...

I think I'd rather have sexy shelob at least she brought something cool and interesting to the table.

wait I thought Tolkien was Catholic, not Morman.

I'll be honest. I had this big seething rant ready to type but it's not worth my time or My anger. I'll just say this. I've been promised cleansing and false restarts for years now. I'll believe it when the palace's physically start falling and honestly when that time comes I hope the different...

I di have one serious question of all the hills to die on why are people choosing to die on the Lord of the rings? What about it is so much more sacred than everything else? The communist and socialist have been subverting history and culture since at least a decade if not longer and everyone...

To Quote the wise words of the great Weird Al "aw man I hate it when I'm right."

depends, is Shaka Zulu historical or is it a work of fiction? On a separate note, what all does Amazon actually have the rights to? Cause so far all i'm seeing is what they don't have the rights to.

it was originally meant to be a fairytale for his kids.

I honestly don't think Tolkien was thinking of canon when Lotr was created. I think we've done "lost the plot as they say."

yeah, I can't realistically expect this to be remotely entertaining. Just too much crap going against it and unlike Lotro or Shadow of Morder, the primary concern isn't to make something entertaining, it's cashing in 1st virtue signaling 2nd. everything else is an after thought. Honestly I wish...

I don't want it to suck, I prefer my entertainment to be good, just good, not even so bad it's good. Honestly though, I get the feeling that the best thing that will come of this will be the Mr. Plinket styled reviews.

I'll agree on that assessment. I mean I quite enjoyed Lord of the Rings Online and Shadow of Mordor despite both series feeling more like D&D more than Middle Earth. One at least tried to make it's story a background story and tried to make it tie into the main events as best it could the other...
