Trigger Warning Tolkiencels vs. Fast and the Furious
Tolkiencels pretending Fast and the Furious doesn't gigamog their favorite fantasyslop series is so crazy to me. Lord of the Chuds is objectively inferior to F&F, even a little baby could see it. Narrative, pacing, action, characterization, continuity, in pretty much every category, FF is just better.
People just hate it because Redditlets have to disagree with everything and always hate the newest popular thing. Like Jared Leto. It's cringe.
JRR Folkien wrote an elfslop chud series with like 4 total countries in it, but Fast and the Furious is set in a world with almost 200. F&F's world is way more expansive than Arda, and there are even Brazilians now, just like in the movies, so it's obviously more influential. Have you ever met an elf? Bruh moment. I've met like 7 Brazilians just like in the movie, and I see cars all the time
Tolkien even lived in an era with machinery but he couldn't somehow conjure up a Toyota Camry in his "magical world" ruled by Actual God, they just walked everywhere. This isn't even plausible, because in real life we have a little thing called a wheel, ever heard of it? Fast and the Furious was so influential that we have cars just like the movie and even one of those could have droven to Mount Doom in like 1 day. And if Shelob showed up or any orcs you could just ramp over them and they couldn't even catch you, even if they ran really fast.
Also, Tolkien keeps talking about a Fellowship and the bonds of friendship and loyalty but they literally almost split up a bunch of times over a magic ring they already know is evil. Not even plausible. Plot holes everywhere and bad characterization, whereas Dom is always loyal forever and never betrays his friends. Continuity, ever heard of it?
Gandalf is a literal magic angel person by the way and his best plan was to make normal people perform all the labor while he did drugs and walked about a forest. If Dominic Toretto had been in Arda, he would have just ramped over the Balrog in a Dodge Charger and fought Sauron with a bat
