You are completely mistaken about Tolkien and LotR. It is so obvious that Tolkien was not interested in old history or ethnicity, he was a green environmentalist! <br>
<br>
All that D&D stuff was just a guise to sell the book. Forget all the battles, forget all those heroes vs. barbarians, forget all that nordic nonsense.<br>
<br>
The Ents, guardings of nature, the green Shire, which in the climax of the book sees the real battle against pollution and industrialisation (which Peter Jackson was very wrong to leave out ), the forests as heavens for the nature-tending Elfs and for all who seek shelter, etc., etc. Even those Hobbits are clearly unresponcible, fun-loving, pot-smoking hippies!<br>
<br>
I mean, it is obvious.<br>
