When Prime Video first announced the Lord of the Rings series in July 2019, they revealed Shippey was part of the production as Tolkien Scholar.
However, in February, Vanity Fair led readers to believe that Shippey was forced to give “interviews that are not allowed to German fan sites” where he chose “what can be explored and what cannot be explored.”
Now this new rumor from YouTuber George Molho of the YouTube channel George The Giant Slayer claims Shippey really can because he reminded Prime Video that they are “dirty lore.”

Molho stated, “I am now beginning to believe that the real reason that Tom Shippey was fired is not because he gave an interview to a German magazine that changed his NDA. That is – you get a slap on the wrist for that.
He then revealed, “It’s because I heard from three separate sources that he weekly told the Bobbsey Twins of Payne and McKay that Prime stained lore.”

Not only will Molho explain these rumors about Shippey’s shooting, but he will also celebrate Prime Video for being nude on the show as revealed in several behind -the -scenes photos of the production as well as recently released photos of the show.
Molho says, “The professor never once peeked about flesh nudity or lascivious sexuality in his writing. Age. End of statement.”
He then said, “It was John Ronald Reuel Tolkien that we discussed. The man who never sold his writing or what he believed for the cheap thrills of the nipples were exposed.

When specifically discussing the images, Molho detailed, “It’s the opposite of what was told by Patrick McKay Vanity Fair in February.”
He then told Vanity Fair, “So will there be a level of violence and Westerosi sex in the Amazon Middle Earth? In short, no. McKay stated that the goal is” to create a show for all, for kids ages 11, 12, and 13, albeit sometimes they should pull the blanket over his eyes if it’s a little scary. “
“A little too scary, I’m not worried about that. I know a lot of adults who don’t let their kids see that. I wouldn’t let mine. Absolutely not. Especially that is insulting because it insults the Professor’s writing. It’s repulsive,” Molho stated.

In letter 131 to Milton Waldman, Tolkien writes, “For reasons which I will not explain, it seems fatal. Myths and fairy-tales must, as all art, reflect and contain in solution elements of moral and religious truth (or error), but not explicitly, not in the known form of the ‘real’ primary world. (I am speaking, of course, about our current situation, not the ancient pagan, pre-Christian days. And I will not repeat what I am trying to say in my essay, the reader.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains “all who are baptized are called chastity. Christians have ‘put on Christ’ as a model for all chastity. All faithful Christians are called to live a holy life in accordance with their special life circumstances. At the moment of His Baptism, Christians are promised to conduct their affective lives in holiness.
It is urgent to identify some violations against chastity including lust, which “is the undisturbed desire for or the extraordinary enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally undisturbed when sought alone, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes.

They also identify pornography that “consists of eliminating real sexual acts or simulations of a partner’s intimacy, in order to intentionally present it to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts conjugal acts, which intimately give couples to each other. , merchants, society), because each becomes an object of basic pleasure and illicit gain for others.
“It immerses everyone involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. This is a serious violation. Civil authorities must prevent the production and distribution of pornographic material,” said Catechism.

Clearly, Prime Video doesn’t believe in Tolkien’s view and Molho even asserts, “They’ve lied to us for so long. Forget the lore. Forget the story. They killed all that. We’ve seen it with the Wheel of Time. They told us something, they do otherwise. It’s unfortunate. “
He continued, “Then they told us, ‘No, there’s no kind of Game of Thrones style.’ Then they took an intimacy coordinator.They said that it was only for some kiss scenes, not for LGBTQ scenes, that we were going to explore.Not to be for nude or sex scenes, that we were going to explore.No But we hired an incompatibility coordinator.And they issue a casting notice in New Zealand.
Towards the end of his video, Molho also stated that Prime Video believes “this is the perfect opportunity to not only humiliate Tolkien, to use the Estate – Tolkien Estate, all they care about is issue checks – but this is a way to strengthen our legacy and honoring Bezos’s command, “Bring me Game of Thrones.”
