The Two Towers

The sylmarillions (especially the old larger version) is on of the best book(s) I have read still

and it wasn't even finished

but it beats the lotr books by miles

id say that about GRRMs Fire and Blood history book

Wasn't there gonna be a Tolkien movie?

hope so

but the fat faggoty bastard couldnt even write all that in one go. it stops at aegon the third

like, not another movie based on his books, but a movie *about* Tolkien ?

I just recall seeing the trailer for it a while back & thought "hey", this looks like it *could* be neat... or it could be a total turd

because his fam bad a curfuffel

Get

i wqill never give anything past the hobbit trilogy of movies money

normal fags ruin everything they touch

i don't know how they degraded the hobbit to the point where they missed key components from the book

its sucha short book too

while also having a 10+ hours of playtime

dragun cumberbitch

and 5 armies guys

hur dur

Martin was good in it

who?>

the execution was just mediocre

Martin Freeman

guy playing the hobbit

in The Hobbit

oh bilbo?

i liekd that actor

he reminds me fo Dr Houses best friend in House face wise

Like Mirkwood

My god it was ridiculously short

in the books it was like weeks

@CatVanViver No, you see, the thing about Muhammad only allowing 4 wives, but in practice getting **MOAR** makes a weird sort of sense if you think about it like a towelhead...

See, Muhammad is the the perfect man, *therefore* he gets extra ~~little girls to rape~~ wives

And how do you *know* he's the the perfect man? Look at all the extra wives he has!

By Allah, be amazed at how the prophet's logic forms a *perfect circle* <:hyperthink:462282519883284480>

while they went trough in half a day in the movie

yeah bilbo spent like a fortnight sneaking around the elves palace

and bringing the drawves information

Beor also was a bit disappointing

omg yes

he was

Beron was so awesome in the books

I really liked the kobolds tho

kobolds?

They were called kobolds instead of orcs in the books weren't they

@CatVanViver It's like how the fat kid gets to claim *more cake* ...
b/c he "needs" it *because* he's bigger...
And he's bigger b/c he eats more cake.

<:thunk:462282216467333140>

(i read it in Hungarian so i don't know about that one)

pretty sure it was a goblin army

round & round the logic circle goes

goblins

elves

huh

dwarves

orcs

and the bys from laketown

the 5 armies

@Thundermark Ah yes, I understand the prophet now, peace and blessings be upon him

I am pretty sure they are described as lesser and greater goblins tho

as Tolkien states at the beginning of the book

@CatVanViver in'shallah, brother 🙏

In’shallah

Isn't it Eagles, Orcs, Humans, Dwarves, Elves?
