Agreed on the third one, and the first three in general. The whole idea of splitting books 4 and 5 by geography was a terrible one. It made no sense and I still don’t understand it. I remember half of the fifth one being nothing but Daenerys arguing with people and internally debating what to do. Thrilling!
Yeah, he’s a total failure…Will the world even remember his works a hundred years from now?He successfully did to Tolkien what Rick tried to do Douglas Adams and failed miserably. It’s the literary equivalent of a cover band.
WW1. Retard. And only Mordor was inspired by what he saw on the battlefield + some of the industrial regions at home. Also, he famously hated allegories. He wrote books that contained fake history because that shit interested him but his books weren't allegories. I will suck your dick.
The books were really just an excuse for him to use his 20 made up language
Wasn’t Tolkien also a medieval historian?
My autism thanks you for clarifying all this. The Scouring of the Shire, for example, is him reflecting on how everything looks and seems different when you come home from a war. He was sending his son, Christopher, the manuscripts while Christopher was fighting in WWII.
The funniest part is that he thought fans who learned the languages were annoying retards.
Amongst other things, yes he was. Not actual history, but his unfinished poem about The Fall of Arthur is pretty great.
Nigga he was a fellow at Oxford or some other Britfag university, I think Anglo Saxon studies or whatever
I know nigga, that’s why I’m sperging a bit. Tolkien was a damn interesting and admirable man.
Linguistics, and was an expert in languages like old Germanic (Beowulf), Norse, and for some reason Finnish which is what Quenya and Sindarin are based on
More like genre fiction fans are miserable people. I kinda hope he never finishes the ASOIAF and his estate burns the manuscripts like he more or less said he wants. Millions of dorks will cry out in pain the day that fat fuck dies and is buried in a bejeweled casket. They'll of course settle for the first unlicensed b-list imitation ending and probably tell themselves it was better than whatever GRRM wrote because they allowed themselves to be blueballed for so long. I dunno where I'm going with this or why I care, I never would have read them anyway.
Jon is even worse because he's a boring character who only exists because they need a POV at the wall and also need a generic good guy character to balance out the cast.
Sooooo still fucking terrible?!?!
people will remember him.. as the fat lazy faggot who wrote a bunch of related works instead of trying to finish the series everyone actually wanted. And dragging it out for decades before just admitting he'd fucked up the story and had no idea how to dig himself out
