@pastelbat and i didn't even finish the silmarillion lmao
anyway critiques aside i do like his universe, it's silly the devs claim things are "shades of gray" in the universe at all to me

@pastelbat a lot of symbolism is p obvious too -
like hobbits are supposed to represent the hope of mankind in LOTR, they're effectively children
orcs are a thin veneer around black people - we don't explicitly see any actual black people in the stories, only references to servants with black or dark skin (humans)
dwarves are a jewish stereotype
my WW2 analysis comes from having read the Silmarillion - all the conflicts are framed as "us vs them" basically

@Leucrotta @theoutrider @thefishcrow@cybre.space nope! Just a total normal human form and spooky powers over ghosts

@pastelbat i'm not saying it's an allegory for WW2 but given what I know from what I've studied about him he is the kind of person whose life was dramatically affected by the war and I really sincerely doubt it did not influence the development of characters
the most amount of dynamic we get is "good people can get corrupted" or "bad guy is bad", and pretty much everything else is clearcut, except when it relates to gods (the Valar- with the Tom Bombadil theory)
