God yes. The number of people who seem to confuse LotR for the Belgariad when criticizing it. Tolkien has many flaws as an author, but LotR is not remotely a by the numbers example of the genre it spawned except on the very very, very surface.

@nonbinary.computer @lore.house I have even seen people denigrate Tolkien for not being enough like his imitators.
