->''"Fantasy is bad with time. All respect to Creator/JRRTolkien... but I've called it out in the past that, in Middle Earth, the best sword that ever got made, got made 10,000 years ago. And if you compare that to [[LensmanArmsRace the real world advancement of weapons technology on Earth,]] you start to go, like, 'How are blacksmiths doing, emotionally?' Are they OK? I guess there was an elf a long time ago who made the best thing there's ever goddamn been! [...] And in Middle Earth, Tolkien just goes like 'Yeah, shit was dope back then. And it stopped being dope, anyway...' Verbatim, that's what he said."''
