Please do not disrespect JJ like this

Can you imagine if JJ Abrams got his hands on Tolkien's intellectual property?

We'd probably have a hot Gandalf, inter-species love scenes, and trolls with friggin' laser beams.

This comment implies that Gandalf isn’t already the ultimate GILF

Are they ill tempered?

Somehow, Sauron returned.

We already have hot Gandalf, we have Aragorn and Arwen, so we're really only missing the trolls with laser beams (unless Balrogs are kinda sort of that already). Makes me wonder how trolls using laser beams would work though...since light turns 'em to stone.

J.J. Tolkien made the LotR sequel trilogy, with lots of anamorphic lens flare and basically rehashing the same plot ("somehow, Sauron returned!")

Also got the quote wrong.

u/GabrielleDelacour 1d ago

This is such a pet peeve of mine. I feel like 90% of the time I see it it's wrong.

J.J. Tolkien at his desk, demanding more pictures of Shelob.

Shelob is modelled after her voice actress, Polyanna McIntosh

u/Lamacrab_the_420th 1d ago

She doesn't look like that at all.

u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- GROND 1d ago

If you look at more than one photo of her then yes, she does. And understand they're obviously going to make some minor cosmetic changes to turn her into an otherworldly being for a video game.

JJ Tolkien is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day and damn I needed that for a (so far) Monday of a Friday.

u/ToDandy 1d ago

Out of all the Tolkien’s, JJ has always been my favorite

u/Drajl19 1d ago

I used to get pedantically outraged, but now I actually see it as a blessing: whenever they drop the “those” from the quote I know they’re not coming at it as a Tolkien fan. It’s like they’re telegraphing that for me so I don’t have to strike up a conversation.

u/DOOManiac 1d ago

As long as we don't get a movie from JRR Abrams, it's fine.

I liked his songs Call me the Breeze and Cocaine
