Protestants could never. only a true Catholic has the soul to write such beautiful thing
His friendship with C.S. Lewis was supposed to help bridge the Protestant/Catholic gap.
>>215971018That's me
>>215970994Right wingers think Tolkien's children books and Metallica are the pinnacle of human culture
>>215971141>right wing out of nowheremeds now
>>215971018After Morgoth was defeated , the Sauron thing was kinda far fetched desuHe could have reused that trick to spawn a new arc with a brand new villain. Afaik after the return of the king he had no inspiration to write a sequel, besides the son of Aragorn going to war against easterlings for whatever reason
>>215971174I'm talking about you
Protestants already created great literature.
>>215971018>a heckin' languagesSeveral languages with distinct grammar, vocabulary and writing systems for them.
>>215970994If Lord of the Rings is Catholic, does that make Conan the Barbarian Protestant?
>>215970994Demonic shit
>>215970994*blocks your path*
>>215972553it's shit
>>215972612t. no soul
>>215970994>now a major motion picture
>>215970994okay so why is the best composer of all time a Lutheran?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGA1v6gZj1scheckmate
As a kid I read everything from road Dahl (all 10/10)As a teenager I read everything from Tolkien (all 10/10)You got to admit that brits are way better than Americans when it comes to literature
LOTR is cool when you're, like, 13-16 years old. By the time you reach adulthood, you should have really grown out of that phase by now, and started going after literature with a bit more realism and depth desu.Especially once you find out it's ALL ripped from random folktales and shit. At that point you're better off doing a deep dive into the actual folklore and shit its based off of, which is richer and more creative desu
>>215972732>You got to admit that brits are way better than Americans when it comes to literatureI don't actually.Anglos in general mog all other yuropoors though, except the very apex of French writers.
>>215972732>You got to admit that brits are way better than Americans when it comes to literaturewhat american authors have you read?
>>215972768Why are American corpos coopting Lotr names like Palantir and Anduril for their most evil things?
>>215972996defense bros are the ultimate manchildren, also they will be corrupted by the dark one just as saruman was
>>215972812Only French author I read as a kid that made an impression on me was Daniel Pennac,Maybe Jules Verne is good but I never read it>>215972972Treasure Island, Moby Dick, White Fang, Wizard of Oz,
>>215972812>Anglos in general mog all other yuropoors thoughHow would anyone know man, except people who can speak multiple languages? Sure I've read Zola, Gogol, Tolstoy, some Hamsun, Bernhard etc but never in the original. But when you read the great anglo ones like Kipling, Hardy, Melville, Hawthorne, Waugh, Faulkner you're astonished by how great their styling and flow is because you're reading the real thing.However good a russian or french writer might be, you're relying on a translation and the full effect of their artistry is never imparted to you.
>>215973162We are talking about children literature (see OP)
>>215973143Treasure Island is Scotch laddie
>>215971018The image that murdered the LOTR fanbase
>>215972710yeah I think those later editions are kinda ugly. picrel is better
>>215971018LOTR fags do be like that.Obnoxious fags.
>>215971018>t. has not read the SilmarillionThe tales of Hurin, Turin and Tuor are great.
>>215973205That was the best book I could have thought of aswell lol Also I remember to have read the yearling, shit was boring and tedious AF. I think I finished it only because I had nothing else to doAll American child books seem to be related with some random animal that lives in the wilderness and interacts with the hero during all the bookSorry but that's boring as fuck
>>215973667Yeah, that thread of american indian animism is strong in American literature. I feel that all American culture is inherently about grappling with the original sin of the indian genocide, and their anxiety of befalling the same fate as their victims.
>>215972553I like Narnia and CS Lewis, but it's nothing compared to LotR and Dune.
>>215973667You should have read Mark Twain >l American child books seem to be related with some random animal that lives in the wilderness and interacts with the hero during all the bookBambi is German and Peter Rabbit is English, so its not just American desu
>>215970994Tolkien despised Walt Disney and American cartoons
>>215974033Tolkien despised comic shorts and basic fairy tales because he was a huge serious Beowulf autistSo?
>>215973857I feel that you're not British but Hindoo or Pakistani with some visible features that make you visibly "not British"
>>215971018>and then Hrunf, son of Zrod, brandished the mighty sword Welindar and pierced Nazdir the darklord, heir of the dark terror from the old times that cannot even be named, omg don't name it you fool!!
>>215974283Wrong I'm afraid.
>>215970994>right-wing Harry Potter
