change my mind

Challenge accepted.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was initially published in 1954 . Teletubbies's first episode, Ned's Good Bike, was first aired in 1997. Therefore, LOTR could not have been a Teletubbies knockoff, because LOTR was first. It is, then, reasonable to assume that Teletubbies is a LOTR knockoff.

They should sue this Tolkien fellow.

Change your mind? Well LOTR predates teletubies by several decades.

Lala wouldn't have gotten far without his Tinky-Winky.

Teletubbies is a great show, so I can see how LOTR would take inspiration from them.

Well, LOTR books existed before the teletubbies. So I think it's the other way around.

Someone accidentally mistook a full strip of LSD as one dose just after he finished reading the books, and saw this weird twisted form of what was fresh in his memory, with weird shapes and bright colors, and got the idea to recreate what he saw on film. Others mistook it as a toddler program.

I think my hypothesis is much more likely.

That's the secret Teletubbies is the future of middle earth they ate the hobbits and stole their homes.

What are the Hobbits wearing? When did Sam ever get a red cloak like that?

[-] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

At the end when they return to the shire as lords and heroes, but the shirefolk just look at them weird

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Hmm I don't remember Sam getting a red cloak though.
