Tolkien is said to be spinning in his pissed-and-shit-upon grave. Comedian Andrew O’Neill investigates. SIGN UP TO MY PATREON! patreon.com/andrewoneill I am ON TOUR, basically always - andrewoneill.co.uk/shows
Who'd have thought that hyperbolic metaphors aren't literally true. Very glad there've been patrons to finance this investigation. That will show 'em and prove that Rings of Power isn't actually a terribly written mangling of Tolkien's work that distorts, subverts and violates the professor's writings. Excellent use of your time, Andrew. Thank you for your service. Sure hope big Jeff appreciates it.
@@jcraigie I'll give you that no such comments were made, but one is either to assume this video to be a mockery of the negative reactions towards the show's lack of respect for what was supposed to be its source material or just pointless dicking around at the grave of a great man. I assumed it was the first.
@@papabaer6069 I see what you’re doing but you can’t take the context away to justify it. That would be like trying to take black peoples historic context away from them and tell them that slavery was so long ago so get over it. It doesn’t work that way.
Excellent use of your time Andrew! Did you happen to leave flowers at Tolkien's resting place? Or, like Amazon Studios, chose to disrespect a persons final physical destination to further your comedic career? We now have video evidence that not even those that have passed will receive proper treatment no matter their accomplishments. Well done Mr. O'Neill. Please make more content of you making a total ASS out of yourself. The World is waiting.
It's not bad. It's may not be completely true to the Silmarillion, but even Tolkien changed his mind often and contradicted himself. They're doing a great job considering they don't have the rights to even use the Silmarillion.
The thing is, you pretty much already said it, they don't have the rights to the Silmarillion. The Show was not supposed to be an adaptation of that book, more of a retelling of events in that particular time span
