"DID TOLKEIN WRITE JUVENILE TRASH?"
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20151215-did-tolkien-write-juvenile-trash
Judging by some of the fanboys I've seen here (mainly from Australia), Tolkien did not not write juvenile trash.
I guess the Tolkien fanboys are too busy shitposting about Star Wars.
There is literally not a single well written character in the whole series. Of course it's trash.

I love Tolkien and can't stand Star Wars.
The article you posted actually defends Tolkien's work, so I don't see what your point is or what you expect to happen in this thread.

Yes.
Tolkien is SHIT as a writer. Boring as fuck. Characters all suck.
He basically ripped off the Kalevala.
The only cool thing about Tolkien is the mythology and the setting, together with the fan maps and drawings of places, and Howard Shore's music

Literally this. I get more enjoyment out of reading LotR wiki pages than the actual books.
No, it was adult trash; it had maps and songs and glossaries and no action.

You're so butthurt lol

My nigga, I've real all Tolkien wikis and not a single Tolkien book.
Just unbearable and tedious.
Tolkien couldn't kill his characters because he was a faggot.

Except for the characters which die in the Hobbit
Faggot

Hobbit was a piece of shit though, worse than LotR.

This George RR Martin is sooo much better.
His characters are so good like the witty dwarf. And it has sex and gore.
It is truely for adults, unlike Tolkien books.
