    It's too bad no one ever had the wherewithal to cast Michael Moorcock and Harlan Ellison as Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins in a Hobbit adaptation.pic.twitter.com/aMgKfgplg8

        Moorcock hated LOTR. Still does, as far as I know. The only thing I've read of his is "Stormbringer," which is the lousiest plot-coupon edgelord crap I can remember reading from beginning to end, and as such dulls the impact of his JRRT takedown "Epic Pooh."

        I just realized I never knew what Michael Moorcock looked like. Holy cow.

        Bilbo would sue the ass off Sauron. Makes a hash of the Battle of 5 Armies.

        No force on earth could have forced Moorcock into a LOTR role.
