This @shamusyoung piece (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/columns/experienced-points/12479-Shadow-of-Mordor-is-Tawdry-Tolkien-Fanfiction …) echoes some of my thoughts on how disrespectful SoM is to Tolkien. (http://borderhouseblog.com/?p=11992 )
@RowanKaiser Maybe. My bigger problem with it is its lazy, repeated reliance on tired sexist game tropes, so it can't win with me regardless

@carolynmichelle Yeah, but those happen to fit well with Tolkein's tropes, as I recall. Been a while since I read the Silmarillion. -
@carolynmichelle that is, people had tragedies that made them "heroes" and people had families killed. Not sure if the same. - Show replies
