He’s right, you know.

>>213115867 (OP)
Yes, Tolkien didn't even describe Arwen's turds

The story ended at that point. Martin cant even end his books.

>>213115918
He made a point about how elves are pure and don't shit and will literally die rather than be raped by Arwen isn't a pureblood elf so we are entitled some highly descriptive bowel movements while everyone's in Rivendell I really don't think this is too much to ask

>>213115867 (OP)
Ugly fat freak!!! Finish book 6!!!!!!!

>>213115867 (OP)
Does this retard even describe the tax policy of different kingdoms in his own books?

>>213115867 (OP)
Elder Scrolls is better than both of these guys' stuff

>>213115867 (OP)
First of all, stop the spam of flood. Secondly, the problem here is that Tolkien admits ruling is hard. Both Denethor and Théoden suffered greatly from stress—both literally lost their minds and some point in their lives from said stress.
Also, LOTR is a war story; we don’t know their tax policy because the story takes place during a large-scale war. GRRM is a fucking idiot.

>>213116083
You do realise he is not literally talking about tax policy, right? He is critiquing Tolkien’s idea that Aragorn will be a good ruler simply due to his bloodline and education (see: Young Griff).

>>213116612
Isn't that LITERALLY what makes a good ruler? The legitimacy of his claim and knowledge of how to rule? What more could you ask for? Should he serve 40 years as a king in another kingdom before applying?

>>213116659
This, genetics and upbringing are the two things that makes a man, and Aragorn has the best of both.

>criticizes Tolkien
>never even finishes his own series

>>213116659
Aragorn needs to have a chapter describing his penis and his bowel movements. Only if we get a full chapter describing this can we know if Aragorn was a good king. Also we nerd a book that goes into morbid insane detail about hobbit sex.

>>213116013
I found it peculiar that Tolkien refused to acknowledge rape at all in his writings. He even said that Uruk hai were created by debasing human males and inducing them to breed with willing orc females. Rape is not something he wanted in his universe.

>>213116659
>>213116681
Are you 2 actually fucking retarded? There are countless examples of men who were raised from birth to become rulers and utterly fucking flubbed it

>>213116788
You can’t read faggot

>>213116681
>nature and nurture are what makes a man
Insightful

What did Gurm mean by this?

>>213116659
>knowledge of how to rule?
When would Aragorn have learned that? He lived alone in a forest for most of his life and being a good military leader doesnt always translate to being a good ruler

>>213116855
It means that he is a fat, lazy, charlatan of a boomer.

>>213116788
How would Aragorn fuck it up?
He's an old man with flawless character (which everyone knows).

>Writing 101, kids

He's such a lib redditor. Can we put these types of people out to pasture finally?

he has a point... but what was the end of GoT again? right, bran ruled happily ever after

>Gurm wrote fuck all about king Robert's tax policy.
>Implies his unfinished books are better than Tolkien in this.

>You will never have Saruman standing on a balcony shouting at you telling you how pathetic you are while you're balls deep in a she-orc that's just happy to be getting attention
WHY
EVEN
LIVE

>>213116876
It's obvious by his character. The only reasonable objection would be if he was like under 25 or something, since young men think they are immortal and often do insane shit as a result. But he was like 80 so whatever. Of course he fucks up by having his kids be shitty rulers (if he even has any?) but whatever.

>>213116980
Tolkien’s book is unfinished. Lord of the Rings is just a side project he chipped away at for decades because his publisher kept bugging him.

Catalog is flooded with these posts today, wonder how many lotr threads theres been in /tv/ history

>>213115867 (OP)
fucking FAGGOT

>>213115867 (OP)
this seems really out of context because im not sure if he's directly criticizing the father of the genre he's aping, or if he's answering some kind of question that asked his own personal opinion on how he separates himself from tolkien. the latter is a valid self-reading of Martin's own work, because he IS more focused on the minutia and politics than tolkien was. they both have entirely different objectives as authors, and they both do great work (when martin is actually finishing his books LMAO!)

Gurm needs to finish he books

>>213115867 (OP)
Lord of the rings is a fantasy world with some values and teachings the hobbit is for kids and lord of the kings was a little bit more mature but thats it ,it has flaws but its not inreigned with the politics of the hobbits, so what they didnt go to war ?, the hobbits ..what was their tax like ?

>>213118304
True , thanks for making me see my mistake not thinking about this

>>213115867 (OP)
40% capital gains tax on all ringbearers. It's why Frodo left for the undying tax haven in the west.

>>213118670
You don't need taxes in a small perfect society where everyone shares the crops with their neighbours.
