This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon didn't read the books.

Samwise goes to the undying lands after having a family, watching them become adults and a stint as the mayor of hobbiton.

I respect the movies, but the further into the story they got the more incomprehensible and arbitrary the deviations from the book became.

if you know the story how Harvey Weinstein wanted to cut down Studio Ghibli out of pure pettiness as a power play, you understand how these garbage edits happen
