The castle down the road from me is pretty old. It's from 79CE:

The Roman fort in Castlefield, Manchester, England, was founded around 79 AD. The fort was originally named Mamucium, but is also known as Mancunium.

Mate, love a bit of Russian lore and all that. If you want to have a bit of an eye opener, give The First Circle by Alexander Solzhenitsyn a read. It's funny but you'll feel guilty laughing.

Sounds like you're a cunt.

Don't throw about references to The Troubles like it's hidden history.

What's mad is they could have done a millennium long epic of Sauron's domination Númenor. Could have made the whole thing as long or as short as they want and build from there.

They could have had political intrigue. conspiracies, betrayal, double-crossing and all sorts.

Instead they just shat the bed.

For American audiences though, that's where the money is. And who produced it too. Not saying you're wrong, just to anyone outside the US it has the feel of it.

The Frodo/Sam dynamic comes from Tolkien's experiences in WW1. A fair example of this dynamic would be the Blackadder/Baldrick dynamic in Blackadder Goes Forth.

Apparently it was a thing where higher class soldiers had a bloke supporting him. Not sure if it was solely based on rank or social status
