If you want to put a little note saying ‘the movies are overrated’ sure, we can have a debate about that. Fantasy films really aren’t for everyone, and adapting LotR is definitely not an easy task.
If you genuinely mean the books as well, idk what to tell you. The history of the fantasy genre after LotR proves you’re wrong.
Even if you dislike the story, its impact on the fantasy genre is hard to argue against. I personally dislike the series too, but I refuse to call it overrated because it influences basically every aspect of modern fantasy writing.
Youre very welcome to hold your incorrect opinion but please do not try to ruin other peoples fun. You could also tell us why you have your still very wrong opinion
I don’t need to justify my comment to you. I said what I said and now a bunch of yall are acting like the sistine chapel roof is collapsing. It’s mediocre at best, 12 hours of dudes larping like dorks
Hey, not extinct! There are dozens of us
Also don’t forget MST3K and Lord of the Rings!
Its never to early to read The Hobbit to get someone a lifelong addiction to the LoTR. I was trying for in-utero but my wife was not interested.
Cosmos (the original)
Connections with James Burke
Secret Life of Machines
All of David MacAulay’s books
The way things work is one of my favourite books. I still have the copy I got as a kid!
Connections 1 and 2. Maybe not 3.
Yeah, that one wasn’t nearly as good
Lotr is overrated, there i said it

I agree. I enjoy it, but I’m not desperate for more. (I feel the same about the original Star Wars as well)

Perhaps they also fell asleep during the movies. I certainly know I did.
hey, falling asleep during LOTR is part of the fun
God lotr fans are insufferable.
Says a 40k fan.
At the very least the LotR fandom isn’t infested with Nazi’s that fail to understand the very basic themes of 40k.
A 40k fan dissing LotR fans, who could have predicted?
They’re the same picture, they’re just tsundere for Tolkien-san (we know they’re an anime fan too)
Have to say I agree.
Doesn’t matter, it’s not on the list for quality. It’s an important piece.
BOOOOOOOOO
