The development of the Lord of the Rings extended universe continues apace.

The cast of The Hunt for Gollum continues to grow in size and magnitude, with the announcement that Kate Winslet will be joining the movie decades after turning down a role in the original trilogy. There is also season 3 of The Rings of Power looming on the horizon, as well as the promise of a new RPG, The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict, which will be released by the end of this year.

  • It is indisputable that the entertainment industry likes to keep all the Tolkien fans well-fed, even if there are sometimes complaints and criticisms of the quality that can be found in some of these newer ventures. LOTR is just the gift that keeps on giving, in terms of the magic that comes from the original books and movies, and the spinoffs and extras that it continues to inspire.

    There is probably a contingent of dedicated Middle-earth fans who would argue that one of the best things to draw on the works of Tolkien and Peter Jackson as source material are the many, many memes that can be found scattered across the internet. Their humor only works because of the deep-seated love and appreciation that millions of people have for these genre-defining works. They stand the test of time partly because the fandom cannot stop making stupid jokes about them. This is part of what it means to have produced a truly resonant work of art.

    Legolas! What do your Elf-eyes see? Where I'm from, we just call them "eyes." You see these ears? Everyone knows I'm an Elf. It's as if you're trying to remind some unseen audience that I'm an Elf and have slightly better vision. Stop that. Am I getting through to your Man-brain? Should I have Gimli explain it to you with his Dwarf-mouth?
