Rings of Power is back.

Lord of the Rings fans everywhere have another morsel of Middle Earth that's, once again, flopped onto our TV screens. Whether you're into the Galadriel-centric saga or not, there's something to say about the ambition of diving into the Silmarillion. If you've ever picked up that almanac of a text (and Eru knows we've all tried), you know exactly how daunting the entire history of Middle Earth can be. So with that said, all we can do is respect the team of LOTR brethren who slogged through the indexes and pages of textbook-like histories encased in the light of the silmarils.

And for those of us who don't have the patience to sift through the sands of Three Ages in Numenor, Valinor, the Southlands, and all of Middle Earth, perhaps we can enjoy a lighter piece of LOTR texts in the form of Hobbit-worthy funnies. Keep scrolling for a chuckle and a laugh straight from the pages of our favorite universe: Lord of the Rings.
