Hot take: I don't like the Lord of the Rings movies, and I think they are doing a disservice to the books, the fantasy genre, and roleplaying games as a hobby.
They are ultimately not a very good adaption of the book and put mindless spectacle over the themes of loss and trauma that Tolkien clearly was working through. And their questionable art choices keep reverberating through fantasy, keeping 1980s dnd kitsch alive way past it's time.

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 received […]

Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Q: Why Did The One Ring Allow Frodo To Hand It To Bombadil?
ANSWER: I had half-written this article and then had to stop working on it. I left the browser window open but when I came back to it the article vanished. So it’s possible I haven’t reconstructed all my previous ideas and I may miss something in what follows (as I wrote it hastily). I received the following questions in December […]

Q: What Was Sauron’s True Name?
ANSWER: Sauron’s “true” name must be one of the most popular topics among Tolkien fans who dive deep into the minutiae of the books. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were discussing the Orcs whom Boromir had killed, they pondered what the “S” rune on their helms might represent. Aragorn dismissed the idea that it could represent “Sauron” because “he does not […]

Q: What Did Tolkien Mean When He Used ‘Swart’ And ‘Swarthy’ To Describe Elves And Men?
ANSWER: I have deferred answering this question because of my recent post about Andy Serkis. I received this question in September 2025 and as I process my queue of visitor-submitted questions it was coming up when Andy made waves in the news. I hope enough time has passed that people won’t mind my […]

Q: Why Didn’t The Elves Destroy The Three Rings?
ANSWER: People have asked many questions about the Rings of Power. I received the following question about the Elven rings in July 2025:
… why did the Elves keep the Three Rings all those years, instead of destroying them? They had access to Mount Doom for at least the first millennia of the 3rd Age. The Keepers wanted to keep the power […]

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

Q: Why Were Arnor And Gondor Separate After Isildur Died?
ANSWER: I received the following question from a reader in November 2025:
Why were Armor and Gondor sundered after Isildur’s death, if long-range communications with the Palàntiri was a thing?
Technically, the realm of Elendil persisted until Third Age year 861, when Amlaith and his two (unnamed) brothers divided Arnor into three […]

Q: Did The Mouth Of Sauron Survive The War Of The Ring?
ANSWER: I received this question in October 2025:
Do you think the Mouth of Sauron could have survived Sauron’s defeat?
Therefore, could he still be alive during the fourth age and still roaming Middle earth and represent a menace?
I can see different ways he might have survived. So far as I know, unless there is some letter out there […]

Q: Were The Shire Hobbits White-skinned?
ANSWER: This question was inspired by Andy Serkis’ recent response to criticisms about his casting for The Hunt for Gollum. Serkis, according to Variety and other sources, said that “… I don’t think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film…” He added, “So, it’s where […]
