 ====== Tolkien's Legendarium ======
 {{ img:b:r:legendarium.png?460 }}
-**Tolkien's Legendarium** is a catch-all term to refer to the stories by [[lb:tolkien]] which take place in Arda. The main works that are comprised within the Legendarium include //**Lord of the Rings**//, //**The Hobbit**// and //**The Silmarillion**//.

 I think that the animated Hobbit is better than this, which is an achievement on its own.
+The film also ends abruptly. Like, very abruptly. This is //probably// because it was planned to be a part 1 of 2...but, like, none of the Peter Jackson films end the same way.
 === Return of the King (animated) ===
 Between this and the previous film...this one is unquestionably better.\\
-Not only is the quality more consistent (in animation/artwork and music), but it's generally better. That isn't to say this is //good//. In fact, I'd say this film is also bad as a film and an animation.
+Not only is the quality more consistent (in animation/artwork and music), but it's generally better. That isn't to say this is //good//. In fact, I'd say this film is also bad as a film and an adaptation.
 Mispronunciations are present as well, which makes it unexpectedly consistent with the previous films. It's also, bizarrely, presented as a sequel to //The Hobbit// – though this was done due to licensing issues.
-The highlights of this film include Sam being a badass and //Where There's a Whip (There's a Way)//. The former is manifested as Sam imagining himself as turning Gorgoroth into a giant garden and convincing an army of orcs to attack an army of men working for Sauron. The latter is just a good song: unusually thematically appropriate as well.

 Would I recommend watching it? Probably not.

 Personally, I've decided to start treating Tolkien's world //as// a mythology (or like a Japanese franchise). That means that everything and nothing is canon at the same time.
-I think it //would// be possible to construct an internally consistent canon (and for fanfiction reasons, I'm thinking of doing exactly that) but there isn't really a need to. And, let's be honest, at that point it isn't //Tolkien's// Legendarium anymore.

 ==== Do the elves of Valinor know what's happening? ====
 This is a question I'm temporarily raising after having read something interesting in //The Silmarillion//. I'll be sure to interrogate it properly later, however. It's important due to something I'm planning to publish later.

 Whether the elves of Valinor know about the events in Middle-Earth or not makes a big difference, though I won't elaborate for a while.
