    jewelry-based ploy to take over the world in the name of evil

    That might be the single greatest description of LOTR I’ve ever seen lmao.

    Also don’t forget, if it wasn’t for some old wizard who had an affinity for getting high with little people, no one would’ve saved the world.

      Yeah, that’s the biggest tell that The Hobbit wasn’t designed to have the sequels it did. If Tolkien had had The Lord of the Rings in mind when he wrote The Hobbit, Gandalf would have recognized the One Ring when he saw it.
