@Radaghast, henceforth you are a member of the Baker Street Irregulars (that is what you meant isn't it @Deimos?)

Yes, indeedy.😁

Who was a better fantasy or sci-fi writer, J.R.R Tolkien or Stan Lee?

I can't decide which one is more disturbing: the question, or that dog.

How did Luthien knock out Morogth and the balrogs and maybe even Sauron if they all heard the Music of the Ainur which likely would have been more powerful than even the strongest of elves could come up with?

Wow, what flawless logic.

Radaghast · Mar 14, 2024

How did Morgoth end up deforming the elves to the extent he did, because imagine Legolas vs Bolg or a lesser orc, or just a normal elf vs an orc look at the extent they were deformed, how is that possible even for Morgoth?

I find The Lord of the Rings series boring. What can you say to change my mind?

Nothing.

"if they all heard the Music of the Ainur"

Speaking of music, this seems to always be playing in my head, when I read these questions -- or go on Quora generally, TBH:

Oh, I'm sorry... you have a mind?

Squint-eyed Southerner · Mar 14, 2024

Maybe half.

This sort of person has already been summed up perfectly by Higgins:
Coexisting in even remotely the same environs as this idiot, is aesthetically corrupting, and intellectually life-threatening.

Can you share your thoughts on J.R.R. Tokens? Do you find his work enjoyable? When do you begin to develop a fondness for it? What do you find enjoyable or not enjoyable about?

J. R. R. Tokens! Collect them all!

I still read it as J.R.R. Tolkien, and I couldn't see anything wrong with it even with the AI picture. Then your last comment made me realize. 😅 🤣

If Gandalf of LOTR was a real person today and he saw AI online, do you think he'd think it is a window to the evil will of Sauron, like the Palantir? (Answer for if you have LOTR myth knowledge only).

Well, we know how Gandalf deals with Sarumans ... 😈

Radaghast · Mar 17, 2024

Do we know 100% for certain that Thranduil is The Elven king from the Hobbit? Does it state it explicitly/directly (In book or In irl) withought having to asume things?
