Tolkien the Thieving Rat

[Anonymous No.21212748]

Names of characters in The Hobbit:
>Fili, Kili, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori, Dwalin, Balin, Dain, Nain, Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf.

Names of characters in the Seeress’s Prophecy (Voluspa) found in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda:
>Fíli, Kíli, Oin, Glói, Bivör, Bávörr, Bömburr, Dori, Nóri, Dvalinn, Bláin, Dain, Nain, Þorin Eikinskialdi and Gandálfr.

So this is who you look up to, /lit/? This thieving rat is your hero? Someone who can't even come up with names for his own characters and copies them from a foreign people's indigenous myths. Pathetic.

Tolkien is your generic example how anglos treat rest of the world ie. They invaded friendly countries all over the world, killed their hosts, enslaved their host's children, stole everything that they could, then went on and lied about it all.

Tolkien stole huge bulk of his work from world mythos and never gave credit to those to whom it belongs.

Even the languages invented by Tolkien were not original, Quenya is literally a dialect of Finnish language

Pic related for proof

Tolkien did not even invent his own words for his "made up" languages. He literally just opened Finnish dictionary

Why the fuck shouldn't artists name characters after mythology? Is it wrong to name a character Daphne because Daphne is a nymph?

Jesus Christ, it looks like a caricature of butterfly but is too accurate not to be butterfly. Butterfly, you are a caricature of yourself. You are a meme.

Maybe if the story is unrelated to mythology and if it's one single character. But literally his whole schtick is stolen even right to the character's names. We're talking about 15 freaking names in a row, not just one.

>Tolkien stole huge bulk of his work from world mythos and never gave credit to those to whom it belongs.
Tolkien wrote many times about the myths and other sources where he took inspiration for Middle-earth. It's not like he was trying to hide it; I'm pretty sure every semi-serious Tolkien fan on Earth knows there's a lot of stuff in his writing drawn from Norse mythology and other ancient sources.

Next you'll "reveal" that Tolkien didn't come up with "Hey diddle, diddle! The cat and the fiddle," by himself, or that the character of Gandalf was "stolen" from Merlin.

Daphne became a popular given name. Not the case for Gandalfr as far as I know.

I can't believe I never noticed this.
Here's another thing: Notice how the book it titled "Lord of the Rings"
What If I told you that Finnish people were wearing rings for decades before Tolkein "invented" his title?!

And yeah. Gave it some thought when I was real young. Christian upbringing didn’t seem to approve of it and tried to force myself to think otherwise. It just happens, okay.
