One of the many great things about a text as rich as the entirety of The Lord of the Rings is that there is always something new to be uncovered from it if you look hard enough. For example, despite Frodo and the Fellowship being lauded as heroes for destroying the ring, Tolkien had a rather different opinion on the climactic moment of the series. He insisted that it was Eru Ilúvatar, God of Middle-earth, who was responsible for Gollum falling into Mount Doom, meaning that the crew who bowed to no one perhaps didn't deserve the lofty honor.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the lore and hidden interpretations that can be found throughout the books and movies, which the amusing alternate universe of memes only encourages. All of it offers plentiful entertainment, but it is the stuff that you can find here that provides the most humor.
