The Truth about LOTR: War of the Rohirrim and why almost EVERYONE is wrong

**SPOILERS** The War of the Rohirrim brings HOPE to the LOTR fandom, if we are wise enough to see it. A fool's hope is better than despair, and as Tolkien writes, is often vindicated. The truth is, this Lord of the Rings adaptation is VERY accurate to the lore. My goal with this video is to prove that this is a good movie, that it is a good Tolkien adaptation, that it is not woke (or political in any sense), and that to attack it in service of the culture war is misguided, and self defeating. The War of the Rohirrim is a massive win for the Tolkien fanbase, we have to be willing to accept and embrace victory with grace. 🎉 Support My Journey on Patreon!
