I think Tolkien had a great imagination, but... his word choice is often strange, and he brings in plot-destroying characters like Tom Bombadil which... throw away any sort of seriousness in the early tale.
Why do you think Tom Bombadil is plot destroying?
It... well. Basically plopping a careless immortal god in the story as a dues ex machina and then throwing him away when he'd cause problems is what I'd call immersion ruining lol
I wouldn’t say it’s that strange. Remember the books are also really old, so is the language in them. Although I do agree but I would say that his word choice is unique and interesting. BRO I CANT STOP THIS NOSTALGIA ITS SO SAD AAA
Its not being old, its just he's kinda waffley. Charming, but not concise in any sense.
Also as to nostalgia, you better see the Rings of Power trailers.
Alright guys, Tolkien pro mode triggered.
Tolkien’s speech cadences and word choices are totally unique and a big part of what makes his work so memorable and charming. No other book has so many “quotes” like Tolkien. Tolkien’s long-windedness is actually very good when you sit back and go with it, it’s a lot more in-depth then other books while still leaving stuff up to imagination. You’ll never find anything like it in other books, and it’s a big part of why Tolkien is so good and critically acclaimed. He’s not waffling, his language is actually extremely well-written and far superior to nearly ever other popular book.
Oh and as for Tom Bombadil yeah no Tolkien threw him in for some of the immaturity of the Hobbit and to enhance the mystery of his world.

Cause I have a thing due to RoP absolutely destroying the lore, mutilating characters, and destroying Tolkien’s good name. There was a large fight about it with me showing proof of all my aforementioned points and the defender saying nah, it’ll be fine. So I banned the topic cause I don’t want anymore fights.
Oh and if you have the dislike showing expansion for YouTube you will see that the trailer has 3 million dislikes to 127 thousand likes, and the comment section is just everyone roasting Amazon and explaining why the show is categorically wrong in every way. So it’s not just me, it’s a practically unanimous opinion of the entire Tolkien fandom.

I suppose so. I guess I try not to judge. You seem to have a very strong opinion on this and I respect that

I normally don’t have a problem with lore changes, as long as they fit in fine. But the whole show is so actively against Tolkien I can’t take it. If it at least felt like Tolkien I could take it, but every bit I’ve seen so far has made me want to scream. Thanks tho. Anyway… Got any more LotR swords?

Dude my friend got the Legolas Knives for Halloween and then just put them in his closet. I sat him down and explained the entire lore of elvish blades and then finished with “therefore, they deserved to be displayed ON THEIR PLAQUE, above your bed. Thank you!”

I like Tom Bombadil.
New rule? Am I supposed to uh…know it
Back in black baby
The rule is: we do not mention Rings of Power in any context. Yup. Gatekeeping.
Frequent Eladrin || They/Them, but accept all pronouns
Luz Noceda would like to remind you that you're worth loving!
Oh. When was that instilled? And why?
