In this excerpt from Preambling #22 we dig into our expectations of the Ring of Power Series as well the mythology of Tolkien’s world.
* The inevitability of White Supremacist Sauron?
* What was the vision of Tolkien, and why does ethnicity actually matter for that?
* Tolkien’s main themes: the fall, mortality, and the machine.
* What is the context of the actual quote that Tolkien “detests allegory”?
* How was Tolkien already prepared to deal with the “Glorfindel problem”?
* What’s the difference between the magic of “The Machine” and the magic of “The Art”? Domination and Sub-creation?
* Why does art require conservatism?
* Will the real Slim Sauron actually stand up?
