    If it is, I don’t even know how to describe LotR.

    Silmarillion shows how half the elves that lived before the third age participated in at least one genocide

        If anything, it’s Rohan propaganda. Heroically defeated Saruman at Helm’s Deep, before mustering what’s left of their troops to help out a doomed Gondor.

      Yeah, it would maybe be anti-Elf propaganda written by Men?

      Men end up sounding not as bad after reading The Silmarillion. It begins and continues with Elves being shit until they go to Aman, a couple of Hobbits (types of Men?) do the impossible and destroy the One Ring to defeat Sauron, then finally ends with a Man destroying Morgoth once and for all at the End of Time. Total Man propaganda rag.

      My favorite though.
