Oh god why am I reading debate threads that involve 40k. This is a stupid idea.
So many fanboys.

Stop reading debate threads period!

Ok here is a general WTF:

Voice actors who actually sound like the characters they voice act... Especially when they sound cartoonish

For example Rini from Sailormoon (Super high pitched voice), Prince Lumen from Spider Riders (REALLY Chillax voice), The Toddlers from The Sims 3... Absolutely no voice changes.

There was this other kids voice but I cannot remember the parts he played. He was in a episode of a Sitcom and my jaw dropped and I went "WHAT!?! that was his real voice? But... that voice is so awesome, no one could have that in real life!". He voiced this kid in this show where alien robots are living with two kids (boy and girl), he played the boy.

Yea, I'm sad about what happened to Judith Barsi too...

What probably made it all the more tragic is she played characters similar to herself.

Unless they're on the Bay12 lower boards.  Then you're probably ok.

... Okay, assuming that's actually written well, I want to read that.

So. Badly.

Agree.

On the other hand...

The orcs are completely evil. Like, not even a little not evil. Super evil.
The fucking evilest. Murder your brother evil. Live in a ash wasteland evil. Worship the deity of evil levels of evil.

From what I can tell, the point of the Last Ringbearer is that we're assuming the original books were a massive distortion of real history to suit a victorious and prejudiced Gondor.

I mean, just because certain books from the 1800s say that black men are uncivilized and barely sentient, or that 1940s propaganda literally called the Japanese "yellow devils", doesn't mean that they actually are those things.

Same here, the assumption is that all we have on the Orcs and their evil-ness is written by the Gondor men, so therefore circumspect.

It is a really neat approach to a Tolkien derivative work.  My main problem with it is you have to completely ignore The Silmarillion and a lot of history pre-dating the War of the Ring and the alternate perspective on the War of the Ring would have to present some drastically altered facts.  Furthermore, The Silmarillion puts a lot of perspective on things that makes the presentation of Gondor and the elves seem much less glorified.  I've known about this thing for a while, though, and I guess it's about time I got around to reading it.

Is it worth the risk of it becoming mainstream?

-.- Mainstream doesn't mean 'bad'. That is one of my pet peeves. Mainstream means 'a bunch of people like this!'

that was the joke. I was mocking hipsters.


Also, I found this far more hilarious than I probably should.
