The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

[SamwiseGamgee]

Is there a possibility that Gothmog was in fact the warg which that pink pig-orc was riding on? I think there's no other explanation. After all, which serious Tolkien fan could possibly be asked to believe that the pig-orc was Gothmog?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hmmm, that would have to be explained by extremely poor directing and I will not say that of Peter Jackson, no way, despite my criticisms of the film.

Saucepan Man is, of course, famously opposed to the film representation of Wargs. They are his least enjoyed part of the films I believe. I can certainly appreciate those thoughts. The Wargs in the movie were utterly bereft of the magnificent characteristics which add up to make Wargs the single most glorious species in the history of any world.

A bold statement, but I stand by it.

[SamwiseGamgee]

Wargs [are] the single most glorious species in the history of any world.

May I say I rally round your flag of warg worship, Eomer. For too long I feel that we have perhaps been happy to sit in our own ways, just sharing warg stories but not educating the masses as to how great and wonderful wargs are.
Perhaps now is the time for change. Perhaps now we need to go out and not give people the option- we must force the glory of the warg upon them!
Never before in the field of human existence has so much been owed by man to the warg!

Does this involve tearing dissenters to bloody shreds? Hmmm.... The Doom laid upon Wargs by Eru has apparently spread to Warg Enthusiasts.

We're in too deep now Diamond. As Samwise has shown, our souls are now intrinsically linked with The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread.

But how will the masses possibly understand the truth. Perhaps we need to undertake a project of subtle mind control. Better read up on the Saruman chapters, and learn from his mistakes.

[SamwiseGamgee]

Ah, tis the oldest riddle known to warg appreciators: 'how can we convert the masses?' Perhaps we need not to take pointers and guidance from Saruman but instead we should say to ourselves 'what would a warg do?', and act accordingly. For surely we cannot go too far off course with that in mind.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Would Wargs want the recognition of Men? I'm not sure. I think that, after all these years of disrespect and hatred, the Wargs have had enough and are possibly planning a major War against mankind as we speak.

Thus predicted Galadriel after a Lothlorien guard slew a Warg on the country's borders, back in the early Third Age.
