    it's probably because tolkien's worldbuilding is insanely detailed and impressive. however, the beats of his characters leave a bit to be desired, primarily in terms of how starkly good vs. evil they are often portrayed, but his talent for worldbuilding is arguably truly singular. grrm likely feels (justly) tolkien's level of world detail is the setting in which most fantasy authors are often compared.

    One of my favorite things about Game of Thrones was the intro title sequence. How the camera pans between place to place with (albeit rough) interpretations of those places has ingrained that map into my mind to the point where I feel like I could draw it. And because I understand the layout so well, it makes the story easier to follow and helps me to relate to the characters when they talk about "looking to the North* or "in the South corner of the city" etc etc etc.

    Even in fantasy, if you have an amazing setting and super detailed world, it’s going to fall flat if your characters and the rest of the story isn’t fleshed out. You can have great characters and a great plot but a weak or derivative setting, and still have a great story. Try doing the reverse of that and having weak cardboard characters, a generic plot but an amazing setting... it’s not going to be a very good book.

    An interesting world can be turned into movies, games, comics, or any other entertainment medium as proven by like 50,000 works of fiction that have sub par stories and characters but interesting worlds. Interesting characters in a boring world stay on the page and at best get turned into a movie no one watches. What you're trying to do with your work and what it goes on to do in the future are what determines whether world building or characters are more important.

Critics regard Robinson as America’s greatest living sci-fi writer, and GRRM has long been regarded as “the American Tolkien,” so getting their joint opinions on speculative fiction broadly at the same time sounds awesome.

    I keep seeing comments that Tolkien’s characters aren’t “grey” enough, but IMHO, that’s just Lord Of The Rings. (SPOILERS ahead...) Take Gandalf (“The Grey”, appropriately 😉). In LOTR he’s this major powerful figure and definitely on the “good” side, especially as Gandalf The White. But in The Hobbit, he’s snapping and arguing with the Dwarves every 5 minutes, and to some extent with Bilbo when he manipulates him into the adventure early on. He’s not on the “evil” side, but there’s a lot less bowing and scraping to him in The Hobbit. I used to think that the difference was that Dwarves and Hobbits were the main cultures in The Hobbit (despite Elrond and Rivendell), whereas a lot of LOTR was about the interactions of Elves, the noble classes among Men, and wizards. To some extent I still think that _ but my take on Elves changed completely with The Silmarillion. I don’t see how anyone can read that and go on viewing Tolkien’s Elves as one-dimensional. So, in short format _ if you think Tolkien’s characters are too one-sided, I suspect that you’re mainly judging him on Lord Of The Rings alone.

    I think that the characters work perfectly. They have defined personalities but undergo tremendous struggles on the inside. Like Aragorn dealing with his fate and insecurities, Gollum being torn apart by the ring, Frodo too, Gandalf being a literal angel who has to coordinate a bunch of (to him) kids, etc. To me that works much better than a character who has a set of defined characteristics mentioned over and over. One example for me is Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive. I like the books and the characters well enough, but Everytime Dalinar shows up there's a sentence like "remember that he was a major war criminal!". It checks the boxes for what a character is supposed to be, but it just feels brutish.
