I have a shameful confession to make:

I've never read Lord of the Rings.

I've TRIED, but Tolkien's prose is...agonizingly slow for me.

Back in sixth grade, I read about a third of The Hobbit.

LOTR Orcs from the Lord of the Rings are basically a race of savages. They are mutated elves, twisted into evil abominations created by the Dark Lord Morgoth. They enjoy cannibalizing each other and the taste of man flesh. They hate beautiful things and love killing. And by extension, I'm pretty sure the Orcs would love to eat the ponies.

Do you think the ponies should try reform these guys or simply kill them?

Child: "Maybe?"

Wife: "Would that be age-appropriate?"

Me: "I literally just walked in the room and have no idea what you two are discussing."

How powerful would the nation of Rohan in Middle Earth be if they had MLP FIM ponies? Big enough to carry a human at least. Would they be able to significantly aid Gondor against Mordor and other forces of evil with their new highly intelligent cavalry units? (also earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns among the ponies ranks, and the rare alicorn) Also consider, the ponies might have romantic relationships with their human rider, so they would fight even harder. Rohan are the finest horsemen of

Oliver: "In the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, Aragorn's lower body wear is never described. Therefore, he never wore pants and you can't prove otherwise."

My response...

Aragorn sighed as he collapsed on the bench. "Finally," he said. "I've been on my feet all day."

"Such is to be expected of a coronation, particularly one of this scale," said Arwen, approaching.

Aragorn smiled. "It was a good coronation, though, wasn't it?"

Amazon in Early Talks for Lord of the Rings TV Series

I've been waiting for a Lord Of The rings tv series for along time, I hope that Its about Morgoth, the first Dark Lord

Are a pure evil race in LOTR (The Lord of the Rings) They are basically mutated elves. They seem to obey the Dark Lord without question.

But it begs the question, could orcs find redemption after the Dark Lord's death? Maybe not in the Lord of the Rings universe, but something like it.

It could be interesting in a story where once mindless savages break free from the dark force controlling them. Could also be interesting to see the orcs resisting the mind control of a new Dark Lord.

I am a confessed Lord of the Rings nut, and have read everything from the big Trilogy to the Silmarilion and the Children of Hurin, as well as seeing the movies. Towards that end, I both love and hate the movies. I love the movies on the Trilogy, and I believe they were well done, and while they didn't include everything, they did a pretty good job with a very heavy set of books. The Hobbit is what ticks me off. J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the Hobbit for children. The goblins aren't as nasty, the

Does anyone have any thoughts on the upcoming Amazon LOTR series?

LOTR as in The Lord of the Rings.

Would Equestria be able to aid against Mordor at its strongest? Second Age Mordor. Sauron has the One Ring in this scenario and is a coward and hides in his fortress of Barad-dûr, and just uses his near-endless legions of orcs and other monsters most of the time. He will only fight in the field if he has no other choice. Let's say in this scenario Mordor has more or less destroyed Gondor. Mordor won the Battle of Dagorlad. Sauron lost many orcs, but his legions are quickly recovering. Osgiliath

The lore is something I never really cared much for and I never even knew that Sauron was a shapeshifter. and I am sad to of found out that out of the 7 dwarfs from the Hobbit only 2 of them died, two of them were my favorites, Balin and ori are the ones who died (You find this out In the Fellowship of the ring.

So apparently some people are actually interested in the Quenya used in my deer clopfic?

As I said in the Author's Note, I didn't keep translation notes, so I actually don't know what some of these sentences mean, but I've retranslated a portion of it (the first 40% or so of the story), along with some linguistic notes. I might do some more translations later, though likely without the grammar explanations.

I really don't feel like writing right now, so here's the rest of the translation notes for Maileheri Mirwa ar Undómë-Aranelirya. Prior knowledge of the first part of the translation notes is assumed.

I really love this classic video of comparing Sauron and Voldemort.

Picture yourself as Dwalin, a dwarf who loves da meat. Or in your case, a normal human in Equestria.

You are invited to a dinner party, but all you get is green food by your new pony friends. I think you're best bet, might be getting good friends with a griffon, then you might get da meat.

Who do you think is the stronger race? Dwarves vs Elves?

From LOTR/Warhammer,DND.. etc. The hippy tree-loving elves. Or the great miners and craftsman of the mountain halls and vast underground kingdoms from the manly big beardy people known as the Dwarves?

Lets all have a jolly good time.

I enjoyed Shadow of Mordor, but this... oh my god... this is at least 10 times better than the 1st!!! I am SO HYPED!!!

I discovered these guys' cover of "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" from The Hobbit about three or four years ago. And they have a lot of other fantastic takes on the music of Middle Earth that I felt obliged to share.
