Yeah he came up with the character separately, and I remember seeing a couple of quotes from Tolkien that he purposefully left him in as an enigma.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Hobbits are Tomlinson like faggots. Also, I’d so fuck Arwen.
I loved the animated Hobbit when I was a kid. I didn’t know there were more of those movies.
"Simbelmÿne. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebears. Now it shall cover the grave of my son. Alas, that these evil days should be mine. The young perish and the old linger. That I should live to see the last days of my house."
That scene gets me. Bernard Hill is such a fucking good actor. He's also really good as the Duke of Norfolk in Wolf Hall.
The Hobbit movies weren’t that great, but this song makes me tear up like a Tomlinsonesque faggot.
Christopher Tolkien hated them. Would you call him "too cool for the room"? Odds are that JRR Toklien would have hated the movies as well. They are moronic versions of his books designed for dimwits and little kids. Dwarf tossing and shield surfing and fart jokes and booger jokes and all sorts of infantile garbage. Some of the most serious moments from the LOTR books are completely cut from the movies to make room for that garbage.
The LOTR films are just as juvenile as the Hobbit ones. Made for the same audience of funkopop junkies and "reaction video" social media whores.
This forum is filled with people who listened to thousands of hours of O&A and watch The Sopranos, a 90 hour show, every year. If something is high quality people want more. If something is horrible quality, like everything Star Wars or Marvel or whatever, the fans still want more. People want more.
Game of Thrones shows that you can make a fantasy show in any setting now. The money and CGI are both there. You just need proper writing and acting to make it all work together. LOTR could have been filmed in its entirety as half of the stuff that is missing are just dialog based scenes and no battles anyways. They literally added like 50 extra battle and action sequences to the Hobbit trilogy including new orcs and enemy groups just to generate even more stupid action and battle sequences.
Look at the barrel riding in the novels compared to the movies. This is how Peter Jackson is. A dumb hack making movies for little kids.
1. Steven King hated the vastly superior Kubrick adaptation of The Shining.
2. Christopher Tolkien and his estate was 100% on board with that faggot Amazon LOTR show that’s coming out with nigger elves and dwarves.
3. Patrick S. Tomlinson weighs far more than he should.
So, I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.
Christopher Tolkien hated them? So? While his father’s opinion would be interesting, you still can’t be a slave to the author’s view of a film adaptation, much less a compiler of his works. It’s a different medium and the product has a different purpose. The books were an intellectual and linguistic exercise for Tolkien almost as much as they were storytelling.
Any mainstream adaptation will balance fidelity to the source with appealing to a general moviegoing audience. That resulted in some cheese and excesses, but taken overall it was a great final product despite the contrarianism of some superfans.
The movies went into production in the very late 90s I think. There were no big-budget prestige TV shows at the time. The was no focus on streaming services. Fantasy on TV was Xena. Big budgets went to movies, so they had to work within those constraints.
I wasn’t talking about the Hobbit movies. Beat up on those all you want.

Nice emotional diatribe about a movie series that was released 20 years ago, stupid

I think you both have a point. There's some stuff in the movies that's gay. The shield surf is probably my favorite example. Or "THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S GOT MAH AXE IN HIS NERVOUS SEHSTEM!" A lot of the jokes don't land. That said, I think they still hold up pretty well. They're an adaptation, I can live with some Hollywood bullshit. They look better than anything being made now, especially the 4K versions. I can still rewatch and enjoy them. Of course the book is a masterpiece, but some things just translate differently in a visual medium.
Yeah the Merry, Pippin and Gimli comedy relief shit didn’t work either nor did the relationship with Frodo and Sam. I don’t think the fat fuck and his two frumpy cunts realised Sam and Frodo weren’t faggots, the relationship is like a Office in the British army and his Batman.

I hate the trend of undercutting a fairly serious moment with quips, and those movies are guilty of it. The Council of Elrond is a pretty serious scene, and the levity of Sam joining is a good way to end it. Then fuckin Merry and Pippin run in like retards and we get the god awful "...so, where are we going?" line. Total overkill.
Even Elrond going "You shall be the fellowship of the ring" is undermined, since it comes right after two hobbits prance into the screen like goofy children. An ancient gangsta ass nigga like Elrond wouldn't put up with that in the book.
