Here’s a little tolkien hot take: since the lord of the rings is a “translation” from the “original” westron we don’t have to take any dialog for granted. maybe every time merry calls someone “fellow” a closer translation would be “dude.” Maybe when Gimli says “It has an unwholesome look” it would be more accurate to say “this looks sketchy af.” I don’t know, you don’t know, no one knows. @penny-anna @cowboylegolas

Lord of the Rings but Merry & Pippin talk like Bill & Ted
