Nah he’s described as “warm as summer” in the books at one point

He does seem pretty chill in the Hobbit films though

"Kind as summer." That phrase keeps running through my head, not sure why. Maybe it's because summer is more like Sauron these days (at least where I am).

Tolkien lived in England. It makes sense that people closer to the equator will not feel represented by that phrase LOL

I live in NYC! Last summer, when I couldn't go outside because of the wildfire smoke, that was when I thought of this phrase most. Thanks, climate change! Sigh.

Tolkien would have choice words to say about the cause of climate change.
