(I'm really not quite sure where this goes.)
Tolkien...many call him the master of fantasy. He who created the genre, he who was so original. I have to disagree. I cannot stand to read The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, etc. I hate the concept of Orcs being evil...just because their Orcs. It shows no reason other than that their evil, the same of the other evil creatures..they're just evil. Sauromon and Sauron(However you spell them) both have the same sounding name, and are both evil. That's hardly creative. The fact that a race, Elves, could be perfect in every way irks me. Everyone has their flaws, ohhh but not elves.
The giant eagles are only supposed to help in dire times of need, for the good of the world, then why not carry Frodo over the volcano and have him drop the ring? If they're only supposed to come in dire need of all mankind, then why pick Frodo and Sam up at the base of the volcano after they destroy the ring? They don't help mankind after that, people would be fine if they died.
The Ghost Army can hit people, but people can't hit the ghost army? If the Ghost army was waiting for the king, couldn't they just kill the orcs and sauron and find the king in peace? Since obviously nothing can stop them?
These are just things that bother me, I hate how people always, ALWAYS, compare other writers to Tolkien(Unless they deserve it, PAOLINI). This sounds a lot like a hate thread, but I am just voicing my opinion.
