There’s no amount of “adult perspective” that’s gonna change LoTR into anything other than a war story, yes actually a lot of people die in it, learn to read dumbass
But you weren’t talking about people dying. You were talking about Gandalf ‘dealing out a shitload of death and judgement’.
Which, he has, like, one of the lowest body counts in the book, dude. He killed that stupid Balrog after it tried to murder his friends. Maybe a few of the Minas Tirith invaders? But most of that fight he was trying to save Faramir.
And the only person he ‘passed judgement on’ was Saruman, and that was only after an okay from the higher-ups. And all he did then was kick him out of the wizards. That’s it.
Kinda think maybe you should learn to read. Or maybe learn the joy of re-reading.
Um… what? Yeah, you might want to go back and re-read LOTR from an adult perspective. Seems you missed a lot.
See, though, for me it’s the people that say
That worry me the most. Who, exactly, are we being required to kill, here?
