His books are available today. When someone says "if they were released today" they mean "if they were made available for the first time."
I'm not. I'm saying that if Tolkien's work was newly released today the types of people who cry about agendas and think "plot armour" or "Mary-Sue" are valid criticisms would be pumping out click-bait videos.Not sure why people like you are arguing Tolkien's work can't be appreciated because it's not modernly written
