I know this is stupid, but somehow, as the son of a famous old man, I never considered that he himself had also become old.

>>14548351
You are old too, my friend.

>>14548355
Dubs of banal, languid, placid, listing and wistful truth.

Daily reminder his brother was a paedophile

>>14548345
Was there ever a more devoted son?

>>14548399
The Son.

Go into the West and sleep, thank you for all that you have done.

I recall reading that the Tolkien Society removed him so that they could make more money via that new Amazon series. They are not at all composed of Tolkiens.

>>14548430
At least they made a deal to ban unnecessary lore changes

Did the amazon series casting push him over the edge, /pol/?

RIP one of the most pious sons of the century. Fuck the Jews that will get their mitts all over Tolkien's legacy even more than they already have now.

May your spirit reach the Halls of Mandos

>>14548345
With him gone, who has the most authority for Middle Earth lore now?
Also he is probably one of the rare man, who didn't harm his father work, and his expended work is also really good.

RIP

>>14548444
>unnecessary lore changes
Adding niggers seems like one.

A sad day for us.
I used to think that he was too jealous of the JRRT legacy.
Then I realized how devoted the son he was.
We will miss him.

>On 2 September 2017, the Oxford Oratory, Tolkien's parish church during his time in Oxford, offered its first Mass for the intention of Tolkien's cause for beatification to be opened

I will begin praying to Tolkien. Not even catholic

And so the last bastion protecting his father's work is gone. Now his money grubbing children will whore out the series endlessly. They've already started with the Amazon series.

>>14548503

>The Third Age ended with ... the departure of Elrond ... over the sea.

If Beren and Luthien were Beren and Luthien, then their descendent Elrond was clearly Christopher - he was the final curator and preserver of ancient lore, and incorruptible, resisting the polluting taints of commercialism.

Capitalism is a society-wide mental illness whose symptoms are a general whorish lack of shame and dignity, pathetic greed to the point of being willing to suck a dick for profit "if the profit is high enough and the dick isn't egregiously bad," disregard for values higher than personal gain (to be spent on hedonism), disregard for the wellbeing of others ("every man for himself, we're all profit-seeking whores and I'm just doing what any of you would do if you were in my position!"), so yes it does.

I don't think this has anything to do with LoTR getting sold out, rather, it's an overall societal plunge into decadent chaos. Capitalism doesn't even exist anymore, everything is globalized, interationalist cabalism.

Sadly this is the new religion for the masses spewed by fanatical jackals picking at the bones of a dead civilization. It's vindictive.

Mammonism is the heavy, all-encompassing and overwhelming sickness from which our contemporary cultural sphere, and indeed all mankind, suffers. It is like a devastating illness, like a devouring poison that has gripped the peoples of the world.

By Mammonism is to be understood: on the one hand, the overwhelming international money-powers, the supragovernmental financial power enthroned above any right of self-determination of peoples, international big capital, the purely Gold International; on the other hand, a mindset that has taken hold of the broadest circle of peoples; the insatiable lust for gain, the purely worldly-oriented conception of life that has already led to a frightening decline of all moral concepts and can only lead to more.

This [mammonist] mindset is embodied and reaches its acme in international plutocracy. The chief source of power for Mammonism is the effortless and endless income that is produced through interest.

The idea of interest on loans is the diabolical invention of big loan-capital; it alone makes possible the lazy drone's life of a minority of tycoons at the expense of the productive peoples and their work-potential.

The only cure, the radical means to heal suffering humanity is the abolition of enslavement to interest on money.

The abolition of enslavement to interest on money signifies the only possible and conclusive liberation of productive labor from the hidden coercive money-powers.
The abolition of enslavement to interest signifies the restoration of the free personality, the redemption of man from slavery, from the curse whereby Mammonism has bound his soul.

In our Mammonistic blindness we have unlearned how to see clearly that the doctrine of the sanctity of interest is a monstrous self-deception, that the gospel of the loan-interest that alone makes one blessed has entangled our entire thinking in the golden web of international plutocracy.

Mammonism is the sinister, invisible, mysterious reign of the great international money-powers. Mammonism is however also a mindset; it is the worship of these money-powers on the part of all those who are infected with the Mammonistic poison.

Our anti-Mammonistic battle, which is ranged above the other two battle-fronts, is directed against the world-encompassing financial power, that is, against the permanent financial and economic bleeding and exploitation of our people through large loan capital. This battle however is, on the other hand, also a powerful intellectual struggle against the soul-destroying materialistic spirit of egoism and avarice with all its concomitant corrupting manifestations in all fields of our public, economic and cultural life.

Usury and racketeering, as well as ruthless enrichment at the cost and harm of the people, will be punished with death.

Complaining about capitalism is the midwit's favourite past time. He takes great pleasure in pontificating the ills of consumerism and profit, signalling to others that he is "woke". He unironically pushes this bourgeois brand of communism, where, from the comfort and safety of a capitalist nation, he criticises the "system" for not adhering to the Marxist theory of value. But it's totally fine to use Amazon to order his anime figurines. I'm talking about morons like this one >>14548783

>>14548345
He saw this pic and snapped

>>14548762
No, but generally it's recommended to start with The Hobbit and/or Lord of the Rings. Next the Silmarillion and Children of Hurin. Those are the completed works.

Then there are the incomplete drafts. Stand-alone volumes of drafts include Beren & Luthien, Fall of Gondolin, and Unfinished Tales. Aside from those is the extensive 12-volume History of Middle Earth which covers the entire writing process of the legendarium.

Lastly, there is the Adventures of Tom Bombadil, a short collection of poems. In-universe they are traditional Hobbit songs.

For non-legendarium material, there are some short fiction stories like Leaf by Niggle, and influential essays like On Fairy Stories and Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics.

>>14549090
>this man wasn't even a writer to begin with
>He published The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise: "Translated from the Icelandic with Introduction, Notes and Appendices by Christopher Tolkien" in 1960.

Press F boys, without this man there would be no Silmarillion, no HoME, none of the letters. We would have LoTR and The Hobbit and that's it, the real soul of Tolkien was shared with us thanks to Christopher.
A great man, and a devoted son.

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

I will drink in his and his father's honour and celebrate their deeds!

One of the arguments was that they also made fairy tales as a genre synonymous with children's trash, whereas it was just stories before. In a way they almost killed fantasy.

Already cancelled my Amazon subscription when I saw the cast reveal. There were NO FUCKING NIGGERS in Middle-Earth, PERIOD, unless they happen to be travelers from Harad. But they won’t be, they’ll be black elves or black Gondor soldiers or some retarded fucking lore-rape.

>>14550349
Part of the deal for buying rights was no retarded lore changes so probably not

>>14550349
Why would you subscribe to Amazon in the first place?

>>14550365
The deal has changed... pray I don't alter it further.

>>14550227
You are absolutely right: they are asexual Ainur and can take any material form.
(And as an example of Melian with reproductive ability)

But excuse me

Did you know that the elves and orcs in the LOTR movies were played by humans?

>>14550415
But they were white so that makes it okay. Coloureds? Not in my fantasy!

>>14550246
What is with the lack of respect for this man from our mods?

Is it hatred or sheer laziness?

Either way, 'tis remarkable.

>>14550349
On the contrary, if the niggers will be playing orcs it will be basically perfect.

Wrong thread friendo

>>14549788
This is stupid. That's like saying Germans didn't invade Poland because only small number of them did it. Jews, who make up straight up majority of Hollywood producers and executives are well aware of their Jewish identity and are informed in their actions by it. In fact, the fact that they're in those positions is directly a result of their ethnic organization and ingroup preference. So no, I won't overlook their ethnicity.

Its actually kind of funny, i played shadow of war recently, one of the campaigns was about a black characte, he was from harad but he'd grown up in gondor as a hostage. I didn't think any form of media was more trashy than video games but here we go.

>Of that last battle of the upland heath whose roof is the wide sky — nor was there any place beneath the blue folds of Manwë's robe so nigh the heavens or so broadly or so well encanopied — what grievous things I saw I have told.

>Already fade the Elves in sorrow and the Faring Forth has come to ruin, and Ilúvatar knoweth alone if ever now the Trees may be relit while the world may last. Behold, I stole by evening from the ruined heath, and my way fled winding down the valley of the Brook of Glass, but the setting of the Sun was blackened with the reek of fires, and the waters of the stream were fouled with the war of men and grime of strife. Then was my heart bitter to see the bones of the good earth lay bare with winds where the destroying hands of men had torn the heather and the fern and burnt them to make sacrifice to Melko and to lust of ruin; and the thronging places of the bees that all day hummed among the whins and whortlebushes long ago bearing rich honey down to Tavrobel — these were now become fosses and [?mounds] of stark red earth, and nought sang there nor danced but unwholesome airs and flies of pestilence.

>>14551039
Yes i would say that only a few germans are responsible for invading poland

>>14548345
I'm late to the party, but who cares? The books he wrote or edited, wherein he desperately tried to cling to his father's coattails, were garbage. The idea that you would regale him as a successful defender of his father's legacy, given the dumpster fire known as the hobbit movie trilogy, is laughable. What of value did this guy do, outside of being a product of his bloodline?

>>14550868
What are they talking about?

>>14549489
>I was talking about real life, if you're from Massachusetts let's set up a meeting somewhere so you can say that to my face, what do you say racist shit? But since you pollacks are all a bunch of cowards I doubt you'd even show up.

>Heh incel

If only you saw the absolute irony in the way you approach dealing with ridicule, maybe words wouldn't hurt you so deep.

why would there be any Hobbits in the show, retard tourist?

>Now the Sun died and behold, I came to that most magic wood where once the ageless oaks stood firm amidst the later growths of beech and slender trees of birch, but all were fallen beneath the ruthless axes of unthinking men. Ah me, here was the path beaten with spells, trodden with musics and enchantment that wound therethrough, and this way were the Elves wont to ride a-hunting. Many a time have I seen them and Gilfanon has been there, and they rode like kings unto the chase, and the beauty of their faces in the sun was as the new morning, and the wind in their golden hair like to the glory of bright flowers shaken at dawn, and the strong music of their voices like the sea and like trumpets and like very many viols and of golden harps unnumbered. And yet again have I seen the people of Tavrobel beneath the moon, and they would ride or dance across the valley of the two rivers where the grey bridge leaps the joining waters; and they would fare swiflty as clad in dreams, spangled with gems like to the grey dews amid the grass, and their white robes caught the long radiance of the moon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and their spears shivered with silver flames.

>>14551792
His father sold the rights to the movies, not him. The Hobbit movies were not his doing, and he disliked the LOTR film trilogy. Google him if you don't know what he did.

>>14551827
Because it's set in Middle Earth and hobbits are short and cute and that appeals to women so they will inevitably shoehorn them in

I didn't say anything about the colour of your skin, I'm not that Anon, I just think you could use a little perspective instead of getting mad and challenging random internet strangers to fight you over some words

>And now sorrow and . . . . . has come upon the Elves, empty is Tavrobel and all are fled, [?fearing] the enemy that sitteth on the ruined heath, who is not a league away; whose hands are red with the blood of Elves and stained with the lives of his own kin, who has made himself an ally to Melko and the Lord of Hate, who has fought for the Orcs and the Gongs and the unwholesome monsters of the world — blind, and a fool, and destruction alone is his knowledge. The paths of the fairies he has made to dusty roads where thirst [?lags wearily] and no man greeteth another in the way, but passes by in sullenness.

Lol, imagine how you'd handle being white.

>>14551841
>I ain't offending anyone, it's people I don't even know that are offending me for no reason, why should I be the one leaving?

Because if you are being offended, then leave. Anyone can be offended for any reason, does that mean we shouldn't discuss Christianity here because might offend Muslims, or that we shouldn't discuss racism because it offends Nazi's? This is an anonymous message board, and one of the last bastions of free speech. If you can't handle the heat then get out of the kitchen.

>>14551792
>What of value did this guy do, outside of being a product of his bloodline?
He compiled a coherent version of The Silmarillion and Children of Húrin (among the other tales) that otherwise would never have seen the light of day. His father could never finish The Silmarillion or publish it. He wasn't "clinging on his father's coattails", he grew up on those stories and continued his father's legacy. There are many other people "of his bloodline" that did nothing of the sort. No-one forced him to sift through crates of manuscripts to finally publish his father's magnum opus.
And no, he didn't sell the movie rights, that was his father.
It's strange that you have such malevolence against him. You probably don't know much anything about him, or J.R.R. Tolkien

>So fade the Elves and it shall come to be that because of the encompassing waters of this isle and yet more because of their unquenchable love for it that few shall flee, but as men wax there and grow fat and yet more blind ever shall they fade more and grow less; and those of after days shall scoff and say Who are the fairies — lies told to the children by women or foolish men — who are these fairies? And some few shal answer: Memories faded dim, a wraith of vanishing loveliness in the trees, a rustle of the grass, a glint of dew, some subtle intonation of the wind; and others yet fewer shall say . . . . . 'Very small and delicate now are the fairies, yet we have eyes to see and ears to hear, and Tavrobel and Kortirion are filled yet with this sweet folk. Spring knows them and Summer too and in Winter still are they among us, but in Autumn most of all do they come out, for Autumn is their season, falln as they are upon the Autumn of their days. What shall the dreamers of the earth be like when their winter come.

There's a difference between discussing controversial topics and outright offending people using slurs (in this case the N-word), you can discuss anything as long as you're respectful towards your opponent or the group he's part of. It's not that hard, you should try.

>Hark O my brothers, they shall say, the little trumpets blow; we hear a sound of instruments unimagined small. Like strands of wind, like mystic half-transparencies, Gilfanon Lord of Tavrobel rides out tonight amid his folk, and hunts the elfin deer beneath the paling sky. A music of forgotten feet, a gleam of leaves, a sudden bending of the grass, and wistful voices murmuring on the bridge, and they are gone.

But behold, Tavrobel shall not know its name, and all the land be changed, and even these written words of mine belike will all be lost; and so I lay down the pen, and so of the fairies cease to tell.

I've learnt of Bloom's passing only this week and Immediately thought of Christopher.

It's all over for Britain. Not even exaggerating, there will never be more people like them. I'm not even sure there are any left.

Also, I've bought an old copy of Fellowship in English language at thrift store only yesterday (I'm not from English-speaking country, so these are hard to come by). Looks like picrelated, but black instead of blue so it's easily one of the nicest looking books I own now. Too bad they haven't published other books in that series, only the Fellowship.

>>14552446

you are a retarded animal fit for nothing but slaughter

judaism is an extremely coercive society that has arranged every marriage and forced its members to stay within for thousands of years, they have much more consistent traits than true humans

social contract decides the gene pool
there can be only one race per contract

we must slaughter the masses
they cannot be allowed to live - when there are too many people they catch cancer and spread it to all
we have to exterminate the jew completely and squeeze the good out of the masses and kill the trash
tournaments with set rules will be used to judge

>everything you think is reflexive to your victim complex
I have no victim complex

>SO I'LL JUST FORGIVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SLAUGHTERING EVERYONE
1. I am not forgiving the slaughter, but I am not blaming anything on the one who are somehow related in some way to him. That's just stupid.
