Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny
A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language.
another hilarious example:
my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is
Venom adopts a needy puppy from the local animal shelter. Spiderman, like a fucking asshole, drives his loudass vroom.mp3 motorcycle by, upsetting the peace of said shelter. Venom decides to deal with this ruffian using the only language he knows how to speak. Who’s the real villain here
I can imagine Eddie, along with Venom, living in Stark Tower in an weird AU sort of way. But in the first day, Tony shows him his room and the tub is replaced by a lobster tank in his restroom. And Eddie in response, mutters, ‘it was only one time!’.
