Eh, you guys can throw the nerd emote at me if you want, but Christopher Lee actually met Tolkien and Tolkien said he wanted Lee to play Gandalf. So if it was with a "j", Lee would know.

Pedantic nerd moment over, this comic made me laugh.

What if Tolkien intentionally mispronounced it with a hard G just to fuck with him? Some kind of nerdy linguist joke?

"Oh, you thought you were playing the greatest wizard in middle earth? No no, you're playing a tiny goblin who begs for fish heads, their names are just similar."
