CW: The Hobbit PJ movies fan edit spoilers
1/2
Watching a fan edited version of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit .... retellings.(See, I can be nice.)
"The Hobbit- Ultimate Book Edit | Full Movie"
I've read the book so it's pretty easy to follow.
Unlike PJ's releases this Edit only rarely crosses the bounds into "what utter tripe" so I'm more generous to the Edit when it does. (As if Beorn would let strangers remain in his house unvetted and alive. 😬

Why Didn’t Sauron Create An Army Of Morgûl-Blade Slaves?
ANSWER: I have been asked about this a few times over the years, although not very often. It’s one of those questions that kind of pops into your mind when you’re reading the story for the nth time. Or maybe you’re reading a blog like this one and someone mentions an item or something and suddenly your mind starts wandering.

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...
#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange
Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey
Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.
"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

《#葬送的芙莉莲》作品质量之高、主题之深远，值得我们回溯到作品的源头，那就是将「精灵」「异世界」等概念在当代文化中具象和固定下来的巨人巨作——#托尔金 和他的#魔戒 系列
其中《#精灵宝钻》作为整个中土世界的起源和框架，寄托了作者想通过精灵这一种族所阐述的主题——人类的必死命运。
https://lotr.huijiwiki.com/p/5260「人类的赠礼（Gift of Men），或称人类的宿命，通常是指人类作为伊露维塔的次生儿女，被赋予的区别于首生儿女精灵的特点，即#必死的命运（#Mortality）。不过，死亡并非赠礼的全部内容。赠礼更重要的部分是，人类能够自己决定自己的命运，不像其余众生一样受到爱努的大乐章束缚；凭借这一礼物，世间万物最终将因人类的作为而臻至圆满。
……
随着岁月流逝，精灵对世界的感情会变得愈发悲伤，他们因此时常羡慕能够通过死亡、彻底脱离世界的人类。」这一主题在《托尔金给出版商的信（1951）》一章中有详细叙述。而#Frieren 显然也高度致敬了这一主题
