He would despise it since it goes against everything he believed in. This anon
makes a good point with Dune, it's the complete opposite of Tolkien's world.
He understood it quite well, being one of the foremost professors of his time. What he disliked what was the allegory, the militant themes, the creating a God-Head, the crushing political philosophy and more.
Tolkien would hate GRRM, being a fat, childless lump of israeli flesh that makes a mockery of everything Tolkien would stand for.
"I did begin a story set about 100 years after the Downfall [of Sauron], but it proved both sinister and depressing. Since we are dealing with Men it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice, and prosperity would become discontented and restless – while the dynasts descended form Aragorn would become just kings and governors – like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going around doing damage. I could have written a ‘thriller’ about the plot and its discovery and overthrow – but it would be just that. Not worth doing.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien, on why he didn't write a Song of Ice and Fire
ASOIAF is like an inferior Dune in a fantasy setting akin to LotR.
It's a peak American bugman creation and so obviously Tolkien would dislike it. I feel like while disliking, he still respected Dune. He wouldn't respect ASOIAF
Do you guys have nothing better to do than to project this meme for 4 days in a row? I’ve seen already to threads of this bullshit. Your not exactly affirming your life here in IQfy either.
Like asking what would Walt Disney think of nu-troony-Disney. They don't even call him Buzz Lightyear anymore, he has a troony name, they are using him to market plant-based meat now instead of Pizza Planet that had the PizzaBurger. Buzz was friends with Woody. Now he's just troonyyear.
Walt Disney historically created propaganda against Hitler in World War I and II. You would think that by taking ownership of nu-Disney that it would fill them with madness just at the thought of it.
He didn’t care for Dune much. Didn’t understand it.
He'd rank it above Dune, below Dunsany and Eddison.
He understood Dune. It didn't have good worldbuilding.
>Tolkien would like Grrm
He'd appreciate certain things like the genealogies, the history, the map, and the mysteries, etc.
Doubtful.
So you haven’t read Tolkien.

Except he liked plenty of fantasy and scifi that went against his philosophies. Voyage to Arcturus, Asimov's Foundation, Eddison, and Dunsany.

>What he disliked what was the allegory
Never cared for his distaste for allegories
>israeli
Tolkien didn't hate israelites.
And whats so wrong with Paul’s political philosophy compared to Aragorn’s?
Just because you like the world building best, doesn’t mean he’d base all on that narrow category
>the creating a God-Head
Herbert never did this, it's literally a fricking plot point. Tolkien did however, with all of his Eru bullshit.
Would’ve Vance liked LOTR? I’m pretty sure he’s read it at one point.
I don't see how someone with Vance's imagination and economy of writing would be impressed by LOTR.
Brandon Sanderson?
ERB already told us.
you already know:

I don't think he would like AOIAF at all. It's fairly antithetical to everything Tolkien was going for in his work

What would he think of his British successors like Moorwiener and Rowling?
Dislike. Not good enough worldbuilding.
He'd be like, "What's that stench?"
A catholic with slave morality would not appreciate George's master morality work.

Lots of people here haven’t read Tolkien.
I don’t believe he read any Wolfe.
I wonder what Tolkien would have thought of BOTNS
He’d probably be deeply disgusted
>What an ugly fat ass.
