    LOTR is great. It’s pretty much the template of every single fantasy story written since the 20th century.

    The Peter Jackson films are probably the best adaptation of any novel ever made, but with as long as they are, they’re TikTok videos compared to the books in the universe. Know that if you ever read any of them (the Hobbit is a great and short start btw), those fantasy tropes you see are coming straight from the source. Those greedy dwarves obsessed with gold were invented by Tolkien’s creative (and somewhat antisemitic) brain.

    …btw, I assume you’re referring to the original Peter Jackson films. Saying that you don’t like the Hobbit film trilogy is not an unpopular opinion at all. In that case, I think the films were longer than the book lol
