Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin/Rap Meanings/@comment-96.37.91.21-20160502232018

I thought I'd add my own little meaning in for

'''You went too deep, Professor Tweedpants! '''(I thought that, instead of saying Tolkien got too involved in his fictional universe, it was saying that Tolkien made his novels too deep and in-depth, and thus, boring.)

We don't need the backstory on every fuckin' tree branch!

(Martin is criticizing Tolkien adding too many backstories for all his characters, making a hyperbole of that by saying that Tolkien makes unneccesary backstories for even the most insignificant things, such as tree branches. This could also be a reference to how paper is made from trees, meaning that Martin could also be saying that there doesn't need a backstory on every single page of Tolkien's books.)
