Q: Why Does Middle-earth Feel Deeper Than Other Fantasy Worlds?

ANSWER: I was browsing a Tolkien & Middle-earth discussion on social media and someone for what felt like the millionth time, “J.R.R. Tolkien was the father of modern fantasy.”

I honestly don’t know where this idea came from. When you get down to it, J.R.R. Tolkien wasn’t particularly original in his concepts. His goal was not to […]

I occasionally write features for Engineering NZ's quarterly publication, EG Magazine. For the most recent issue, I got to interview three of the team at WētāFX, for an article to mark 25 years since the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie 🤯 (pg16) #nz #vfx #lotr #lotr25 #scicomm

Manchmal braucht man einen Drachen, der dich beschützt und dich unter seine Schwingen nimmt :)

Möge er euch mental unterstützen und durch die Woche bringen! <3

@ashwin I first came into contact with the material as a kid, before I could read.As a Betacam SP or Betamax tape. The thick big one🤔

The Lord of the Rings (1978) Explored – The Most Underrated Version of #LOTR That the World Has Forgotten #yt

Many modern fans seem not to like it. I like it :) I do.

I have no plastic toys from LOTR or anything, and I also don’t care much for the movies.

In my opinion, the movies definitely have mass visual appeal. Still, the story is the real glue that grounds it.

I don’t know. “LOTR fans don’t seem to be environmentally conscious—just over-entertained bourgeoisie, obsessing over their collection of authentic Elvish swords made of plastic, participating in consumerism, and not caring about the Earth.”

I’m not in contact with the current LOTR fan base, so there is nothing I could contribute to that discussion.

The Ents are my favorite fantasy beings in the LOTR universe: giant, talking tree beings. XD Haha.

#UnpopularOpinion

I loved “The Hobbit”, because it is a child’s adventure story.

I hate the #LOTR movie series. It is full of adult themes, like politics, race, war, romance, and crap.

Tolkien would probably not have liked LOTR fans. Tolkien was of the opinion that we should take care of the forests, and value food, friendship, music, merriment and simple joys, over gold.

LOTR fans don’t seem to be environmentally conscious, just over-entertained bourgeoisie, obsessing over their collection of authentic elvish swords made of plastic, participating in consumerism and not caring about the Earth.

A rough translation is:

From darkness I understand the night;
Dreams flow, a star shines.
Ah! I desire Evenstar.

Insightful line from Tolkien's Silmarillion.

“But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest. And soon he may rest from toil indeed while others reap and sow in his stead. Ever Melkor [the Devil] found some ears that would hear him and some tongues that would enlarge what they had heard. And his lies passed from friend to friend as secrets of which the knowledge proves the teller wise."

The cockerel is one of a group of five young white leghorns. They are very appealing birds to keep. We used to have a white leghorn called ‘Shadowfax’ so have named these girls Filofax and Tampax! The boy we keep has to be Gandalf the White, just because.
