User blog comment:Gott wisst/Hypothesis about why B. J. is wrong about J. R. R. Tolkien/@comment-1209332-20090710170901

JRR Tolkein's LOTR is like a fan fiction for Germanic mythology. He didn't create his own universe. Magic rings, sorcerers, wizards, elves, it was all around before. Ever noticed how the original Warcraft games are so much like LOTR? Because they were both based off the same thing.
