Lotr is just a ripoff of the Kalevala, the Eddas, Beowulf, The Mabinogion, the Ring cycle.

GRRM's faeries are a mere vague notion based on popular understanding.Tolkien stole from specific works of mythology and for his own profit. If that is alright in your view, then worship him like all redditors do. If you, on the other hand, have a set of artistic standards and ethics, then stop shilling him.

The names he used in The Hobbit, for instance (pic rel). The whole ring thing from The Nibelung Ring.

Other way around. Tolkien stole from myths, that is, from literature itself. Martin simply took from history. Tolkien is the bigger offender. Sometimes he didn't even bother to change the names lol
