The earliest extant version of the Fall of Gondolin include descriptions of things that sound an awful lot like tanks. I believe it was literally written in the trenches of WWI. I can't point to specific sources, but I recall reading somewhere that in some of his papers the Numenoreans at their height had ironclad warships and guns and poo poo like that, which is why they could whup Sauron at the height of his power in the Second Age. Pretty fuckin' steampunk. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Apr 27, 2020 |

Lord of the Rings actually takes place in the future after a big nuclear and chemical war has destroyed technological civilization and caused elves and other freaks to appear through mutations.

The line between SciFi and fantasy is extremely thin imo, just look at the series that inspired this whole sub

A giant spider evicted everyone from heaven so, you know, that guy with the hard-on for spiders in 90s blockbusters was kind of on the nose.

Middle Earth is just a world that's blocked off from the rest of the universe by a warp storm, iirc
