A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

He just absolutely disappears into roles. Such a good actor.

What's the top right?

Absolutely! I never even realised all these roles (and others mentioned in the comments) were the same guy!

Sci-fi is fiction with science and could be reality

Fantasy is fiction with magic that you wish was reality
