So, people, what do you think?
What's your feeling about that? eace
No, the book was a swipe at uncontrolled industrialism and the upper ruling classes. If anything, conservatives should be crapping their pants over how communist it is.
I just find it funny that when they die, they come back whiter.
Don't think it's particularly intentional that LOTR featured almost no people of colour.
It's anti English!!!! All the orcs have really cockney London accents:2razz:
Gandalf became a much better person when he was a "white" wizard.
Sounds about right.
Lol, true, true.
Actually I liked Gangalf better when he was grey. Gandalf the White is kinda swaggering. eace
TBF very few of the characters are actual people (ie humans)
He was a lot more violent as a non-white wizard, and more prone to anger. As a white, he was sagely.
He also road-jacked someone and told them they couldn't pass as a non-white.
Gray or White, he was the most non-magic-using wizard ever. I count twice: once in the duel with Saruman (which he lost), and the second against those flying dragon things, and that was only to cast a ray of light that scared them off for some reason.

Well, you know what they say - a good driver hardly uses the brakes.
But there is also: the water horses, butterflys, the torch inside Moria, disarming Aragorn, Gimly and Legolas in the Fangorn forest, etc.
Yeah, and there was also that time he cast a bolt of lightning in the book, but whatever. I still use more magic than that guy.
