  • This is the Reason why Tolkien "intensely disliked" Dune

    This is the Reason why Tolkien "intensely disliked" Dune
    Sep 18 2025
    I’m going to start this video off with a very very hot take. Since the Lord of the Rings films came out, in the early 2000s, there hasn’t been another movie that handles the storytelling of a fantasy or sci fi book, or has the beautiful visuals in the same way that the Dune series does.

  • The Mirror of Galadriel is so BIZARRE to me...

    The Mirror of Galadriel is so BIZARRE to me...
    Sep 17 2025
    I have to say, for maybe the first time in this entire series I am confused. I just don’t know what really happened at the Mirror of Galadriel. Maybe I’m over-analyising it and it’s really much simpler than I’m making it out to be, or maybe it’s way more complicated and I need to have a better understanding of language in order to do it. But there are just some weird things that happened that I didn’t have the answers for.

    What did Galadriel offer each member of the fellowship?

    There is this weird section in the FOTR when the Company meets Galadriel. And Galadriel looks into each of their eyes almost simultaneously, and seems to offer them something.

    Oh. My. Goodness. The words of Galadriel disarmed me, I cannot imagine what they did for Gimli.

    The Genius of Tolkien is FULLY Displayed in Lothlorien
    Sep 14 2025
    If there is one thing that I’ve learned about Tolkien from my first read of Lord of the Rings, besides the fact that lots of people have very strong opinions about Tom Bombadil, is that he didn’t want anyone allegorizing his work.

  • The Most Mysterious and Important Character of JRR Tolkien... (It's not Tom Bombadil)

    The Most Mysterious and Important Character of JRR Tolkien... (It's not Tom Bombadil)
    Sep 13 2025
    J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is filled with grand figures: mighty wizards like Gandalf whose wisdom and knowledge of Middle Earth is utterly priceless and vital for the fellowship, noble kings like Aragorn, who in the movies is more reluctant to take that role, but in the books, is ready to become king, and ancient evils like the evil of Saruman, where he makes a Ring himself and seems to lose all sanity for his actual purpose.

  • The 13 INSANE changes from book to movie in the Bridge of Khazad Dum

    The 13 INSANE changes from book to movie in the Bridge of Khazad Dum
    Sep 12 2025
    The Bridge of Kazad Dum is the most action packed chapter I have ever read in my life. I read this chapter in a plane, and the woman next to me, who was reading smut on her kindle…no shame…actually looked over to me to see if I was okay. When my jaw kept dropping and I kept taking sharp intakes of air because of how nuts this chapter was, so looked at me like I was a crazy person. BUT SHE WASN’T READING WHAT I WAS READING!!! This chapter was so good…and so different from the book too.

  • The saddest story in Middle Earth

    The saddest story in Middle Earth
    Sep 11 2025
    Okay. So this essay was originally something I was doing just on my own time. And it was so fun that I decided to start writing it down…and it became this. What I want to do is to take the little book that they found next to Balin's tomb that was kind of hard to read and had words covered over with blood and guts. And I want to just process out loud for myself what is going on there.
