the reason british "people" look like that is because of inbreeding depression

I think this is a very embarrassing image to make tbh
>makes an unseen imperialist the main villain
Sauron as an attempt to reckon with imperialism is at best deeply unserious and meanwhile tolkien's unreckoned with starry eyed optimisim towards monarchy in the likes of Gondor (depicted in its peak as a sprawling powerful empire, where part of the eucatastrophe is its return to imperialist glory) does it no favors
>Makes two racists put aside their differences to help their fellow man
I'm going to commission a rubber stamp that says "fantasy la-la elf/dwarf racism is not comparable to actual racism" to hit dumb ass fantasy fans on the forehead with. Gimli and Legolas are two white coded princes for whom the process of "setting aside differences" has a lot of class undertones as each comes to realize the other is just as noble and well mannered as him. And they come together for the specific purpose of fighting off an orientalized horde of invaders.
Meanwhile, his Orcs and Goblins were intentionally designed based on "Mongolian features" (See letter 210).
>makes two common folk the unlikely heroes of the story
If you think Frodo and Sam are equivalent in class status and that there are no undertones of classism in how they're written and in the Shire at large you quite simply do not understand Lord of the Rings.
>writes one of the greatest female heroes in all of fantasy
yeah man eowyn's pretty great and like let's put aside any quibbling I could do about her character. now how many other female characters even participate in dialogue? as a proportion to the rest of completely male cast of characters? take your time here.

They erased alex's entire fucking personality bro book!alex would steal movie!alex's girl land him in jail and eradicate him from participating in any and all political situations while having his morning coffee. this guy cant even tie his own shoelaces without whining about how prince henry probably never has to tie his own shoelaces.
