J.R.R. Tolkien's The Return of the King released 70 years ago today

What they are doing with LoR franchise nowadays should be considered a criminal offense. The level of disrespect they have is disgusting.
I have my hopes put on the videogame Embracer is developing. Being funded by Abu Dhabi I would guess (hope) it'll have 0 woke stuff.
 
Its crazy to me to think that (hopefully) one day I'll be telling kids "Harry Potter released 70 years today". Yeah I put LOTR above it in terms of everything, but its still my generations defining fantasy series like LOTR was back then. Time is so crazy.

I'm more pissed at those money-grubbing pricks at the Tolkien Estate for letting this clusterfuck go down by allowing these bastards shit all over J.R.R. and Christopher's legacies.

That and the ghost army.

I'm hoping this will be fan-fixed with AI one day.

edit: toned down the profanities.

This passage was always a personal favourite of mine:

Tolkien had quite a unique way of communicating "oh fuck" to the reader.
 
It's amazing to realize that LotR was largely obscure for the first several decades it existed. It was published to little notice and it wasn't until years after Tolkien's passing that it gained attention after the growing popularity of fantasy settings driven by the early days of things like Dungeons and Dragons. Of course today it is acknowledged as one of the greatest works of English literature in the 20th century but it was not always so
