I’m still suffering from PTSD (Posthumous Tolkien Stress Disorder) from trying to read another of J.R.R’s unfinished works published by Christopher, The Silmarillion.
I break out in hives at the sound of Ian McKellen’s voice, or the mention of Sean Astin’s name.
😁
Tolkien really liked warfare in his work. The Elves fought each other, the Dwarves fought all comers, the various evil dark lords created all kinds of crappy species to carry out their nefarious plans, and the heroic victors always lost everything.
