Second-guessing and Misunderstanding Tolkien

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

"What if Lee had a B-52 at Gettysburg?"

 

[Deimos]

"What if Lee had a B-52 at Gettysburg?"

Channeling Drax: I'll do you one better: What if Lee had a B-52 at Gettysburg that was crewed with Ninja bears armed with plasma cannons ?

 

[Radaghast]

"What if Lee had a B-52 at Gettysburg?"

Why just one?

 

[Radaghast]

Why didnt Thorin Oakenshield and the Dwarves simply ask Gandalf or Saruman to help them reclaim their kingdom using their magical powers to defeat Smaug?

 

[Radaghast]

Why didn't Legolas come to Boromir’s aid in FOTR? He was very quick.

Legolas, yeah. Others, not so much 🙄

I know this is one of the AI prompt questions, but still:

Why did Elrond choose to marry Celebrían instead of his own daughter, Arwen?

Answer: Elrond married Celebrian because he loved her. Later, Elrond and Celebrian had three children - Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen. When Elrond married Celebrian, none of those children had been born.

I know, those are the worst of all. A stupid program designed to ask random, nonsensical questions. What is this? Some kind of psy-op?

 

[Radaghast]

In "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", why did Saruman expel the Roharim from Rohan all at once? Wouldn't it be better leading Grima to disintegrate them bit by bit?

Wouldn't it be better if you actually knew (and learned to spell) what the heck you were talking about?

 

[Radaghast]

In Tolkien’s works, if Ea is all of Creation, including the ideas of other regions representing other realities/outcomes, would Amazon’s ‘Rings of Power’ be considered canonical within that cosmology?

 

[Radaghast]

What was the reaction of the elves to Aragorn marrying an elf after defeating Sauron in The Lord of the Rings?

More Q Prompt nonsense.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

I actually find this an interesting question, AI generated or no.

I'd also be interested in the reaction of Elves and Dwarves to a certain other "interspecies romance". 😉

 

[Radaghast]

I find it to be badly worded, for one, as if to suggest the elves defeated Sauron. But Aragorn doesn't exactly defeat Sauron either (at least not alone), so it's off-base on either point. Also, Tolkien never says anything about it. Seems like another case of bad artificial intel based on questions by people who don't want to read the book.

What is the picture of Gandalf as an angel?

Agreed, but I was referring only to the "reaction" question, however badly-worded.

 

[Radaghast]

Why didn't Sauron give the nine rings to nine new men when the Nazgul became permanent wraiths and so Sauron took the rings back? He could have made nine new Nazguls and by the end of the third age he could have had 27 or even 36.

Well, it's encouraging that at least you seem to know your times tables. But, heck, why stop at 36? Why not have a Nazgûl factory, dood?

One of the comments left on my answer:

He should have given them all to one dude. Then he could've had a Super Nazgul with 9 times the immortality….

I hope they were being facetious.

Q: What is irony?
A: Something they do with your shirts when you send them to the hotel laundry.

Is the film Lord of the Rings a transphobic white supremacist fatphobic metaphor?

🙄 What's your favorite flavor of crayon?

 

[Radaghast]

Since Rogue can absorb Thor to death, does that mean she'd be able to absorb the Balrog of Moria, Gandalf, or even Sauron himself?
