The original PC game by Cryo had the likeness of the actors from the David Lynch movie, like Kyle MacLachlan.

David Lynch's Dune was a movie, not a TV series. Here's the

If there's another TV series that's not Lynch's movie and not those two I posted, then I don't know about it. And I would love if you could point me in its direction, as I would love to discover another piece of Dune media!

I know there was at least one more from some time in the mid 1990s. But it might have just been a "Muppets in the Desert" or "Saturday Night Live" type of thing for how I'm trusting what I'm seeing online at the moment. It doesn't come up when I do a search, so not sure. I just remember the reviews tanking big time. And as we just saw, when you search for Dune, it actually tries to tell you that the one from 2000 was the original. Obviously, it wasn't...

Well, this proves that you are full of shit. Literally none of that is true.

The common modern edition of The Hobbit differs somewhat from the first edition because it was revised by Tolkien to fit better with The Lord of the Rings (most famously by changing it so Gollum doesn't wager the ring in the riddle contest with Bilbo, but he also removed some modern-day references). It has not been abridged or edited to make it easier "for modern readers." (It was always a children's book.)

TLOTR has gone through several editions in which Tolkien made small tweaks and fixed some inconsistencies and other errors and typos (later editors have also made further corrections, mainly to things like punctuation and capitalization). But these are very minor changes: the book reads substantially the same as the first edition. It is categorically false that it has been abridged or changed because it was "deemed too difficult for readers."

The Silmarillion is the one book "by Tolkien" that actually has been been extensively edited and abridged, because he never finished writing it: it was pieced together (with edits and abridgments) by his son, Christopher Tolkien, based on lots of different, inconsistent manuscripts. There is no unabridged version, but most of the separate sources have been published in the History of Middle-Earth series (+ Unfinished Tales), which collects Tolkien's incomplete drafts, again edited by Christopher Tolkien. (Christopher also edited standalone, longer versions of some of the major stories included in the Silmarillion.)

Tolkien wrote different books (and unpublished stories) in different styles and for different audiences.



Do you not even notice that you're contradicting yourself, or are you a troll?

The Hobbit: There and Back Again released in the 1930s was originally written for his children. it was only published because people talked him into releasing what he originally never planned to publish at all. He was a Loremaster, Linguist, and Historian, among his many titles. So he used words and phrases 'the common man' do not. Also, the language has shifted between 1930 and today. And how he wrote is NOT how people write today. Thus, the current editions are - can you guess? They are all rewritten. Localized. MODERNIZED. Not for the academics, but for that guy over there who would rather be watching TikTok than "listening" to a book. And there is one of the reasons publishing has trouble with books like The Hobbit today. Most BookStores are gone. There are a few left, but not many. The entertainment industry has changed and books and movies are not what people are spending their time with.

And yes, I used to have several books that is really wish I still had: First edition of The Hobbit: There and Back Again! (But missing the dust jacket, book was originally blue or green (but had turned black) leather/cloth cover with an embossed ring covered in runes and lettering on the spine), Wolverine comic first edition (signed by Stan Lee), First edition Superman (missing a few pages & water damaged), The unabridged complete Wizard of Oz series, Crystal Singer (signed by Anne McCaffery), and more. Where are they now? My family sold them when I was elsewhere thinking they were just 'old books'. Nuff said.
