The Untold Truth Of The Lord Of The Rings

[@Sandrilyonaify]

Lord of the Rings is an all-time epic classic. The best thing that happened to fantasy literature. I can only hope Amazon won't butcher this universe.

[@nekomako777]

I'm also very apprehensive. Hopefully it's good!

[@doctorelectron3750]

It won’t don’t worry.

[@dreamofsprings]

They bought the rights foe 250 million dollars to do the series and another 1 billion dollars will go to making it. It will be most expensive series ever, this fact make confident that the series will be good

I watched the 3 movies on the theatres... I went to watch Fellowship on the rings not knowing anything about it. Me and my dad looked at the poster and thought : '' that looks cool " . I still remember the poster, it was of the nine nazgul all lined up on their horses. We had no idea the kind of movie we were in for loool. That was awesome.

There is SO MUCH more good stuff to gather from the book as opposed to the movies only. Hobbit, LotR, and above all, Silmarillion, give such a great foundation for understanding the "second world", as Tolkien called it. You won't regret getting into the books!

[@abyssalproductions0]

As an aspiring fantasy writer, lord of the rings is my greatest inspiration. Hate to see cookie cutter fantasy where they throw fantastical elements into a pot and brew up some rehashed uninspired work, the symbolism and complexity of the story, how everything ties together, the poetic writing and storytelling, how you just know when you read it that there’s so more to the world than the words on the page, it’s brilliant

[@abyssalproductions0]

@Ciph Dawg Agree with you there. They took a great fantasy universe and just made some corporate blockbuster type movie with it, relying so heavily on the lore yet not even staying true to it and using the alternate timeline excuse to simplify and change the story to make it fit into a movie. They couldn't decide between making a movie for the fans or making a movie to possibly bring new people into the universe, so all they ended up doing was pissing off the fans and turning off newcomers to Warcraft with a crappy confusing movie where they obviously payed 10x more attention to the CG than the plot

[@tenderheart7530]

Prefer the books. Peter Jackson did a good job with the bad beings but he the movie showed he doesn’t understand about spiritual healing and the beautiful. 🌺

[@Bruced82]

Movies are just a very different medium and you have to adapt to keep it interesting for a wide audience, of course some of the magic will be lost. We have both though and a lot of people started reading the books cause of it, so win win?

[@tenderheart7530]

@Ciph Dawg The books had a lot of painful moments too but Peter Jackson did the orcs, etc fantastically well but in the 3rd movie some of the very poignant and redemptive scenes were skipped or not delved into deeply enough in my opinion. 🌺

[@tenderheart7530]

@Ciph Dawg Yes, I agree. It felt almost like the continued action was a time filler and there is so much skipped over from the book that I feel is important. Ps. I don’t think the books were too lofty. They have important life lessons and the battle between the power of the ring and Frodo’s desire is very relatable and then, in the end, it took greedy Gollum to finish it.

[@tenderheart7530]

@Cryer24597 I hear you. It was wonderful finally seeing a well done version of the books. 🌈

[@tenderheart7530]

@Ciph Dawg I know but if you allow yourself to get lost in the prose it is a lovely journey. I was thinking of listening to the whole series again. It wasn’t 18th century; he wrote in the first half of the 20th. 🌈
