Finally read the books, and just watched all the extended movies. While the extra stuff made the movies a lot slower, I mostly enjoyed them.
>>70738823
Sounds like absolute torture
>>70738823
Ignore the trolls, I love the extended trilogy.
>LoTR
>EXTENDED
>>70738877
Oh yeah, breaks are needed.
W-what's wrong with the extended versions?
>>70738929
LOTR is already a bit long, and the extra scenes really add up. Not to mention the added stuff doesn't really affect the plot, they are just there for fan service. So if you didn't read the book you might not give a shit about seeing someone do something from the book that was cool.
It bothers me that some elves look older than others. They still age physically even though they are immortal?
>>70738929
Nothing, just that they are long as fuck. They actually expand and explain cretin plot details a lot more but it doesn't change the main overall story one bit.
The Ents were probably the most important and most interesting part of the extended cuts. At least for me they were.
>>70738823
Read the children of Huren and the Silmarilian.
>>70738929
you know how when you start reading the books they start to drag on and you wish theyd cut shit out but you cant stop cause its so good? thats what watching the extendeds are like
>>70738929
Sooo loooong.
>Wooah Merry and Bipin getting stoned! Radical
Uggh
Why was there just 1 dwarf? Where were the 2 blue wizards?
>>70739111
>The Ents were probably the most important and most interesting part of the extended cuts.
That was one of the better parts of the story expansion. It was pretty awesome to see them basically going "fuck you Saruman" and then wreaking his shit.
>>70739285
Blue wizards are on the other side of the world starting a cult
Was it ever really explained why the time of the elves was over, and why they're leaving?
>>70739459
Did they ever explain it in the books? I can't remember.
>>70739459
>>70739539
Cause of depopulation. The elves were leaving cause they thought ME was fucked.
I dont imagine they all left, I'm sure the Silvan elves stayed the longest, and those in Lorien, but there were limited ships
>>70739459
They get shrecked with each new war. This time they said "fuck it we are out" and they are heading home where they want to remain uninvolved in the world of men. Bowing out.
Being Faramir is suffering.
Honistly the epilog was kind of shitty. I understand if the main cast wanted to leave considering they had finished a journey that changed them forever. But their whole race just deciding "Fuck this place, men can have it for all we care" seemed unnecessary.
CGI shit.
>>70739883
Elves lived there for a long fucking time, how is it not their home now?
>>70739848
>That picture.
>Every other bitch getting wet over fucking Aragorn and Legolas when lotr was popular
>Be the only person who wants to love Faramir tenderly and rocks his fucking world
Fuck them and their bland shit taste.
>>70740095
>Implying you were the only one who wanted to fuck Diver Dan
>>70740164Pic related >>70739848 makes me want to cum on his face and watch him drink the rest.
>>70739459
It was largely to make way for the age of man.
>>70739459
>>70739623
They were also cursed by one of the gods when they left "heaven" against the gods advice, so he basically said you will have a bad time in middle earth and the longer you stay the more miserable and joyless you will be. part of the three elven rings helped to negate that but now they are powerless and fucked
>>70740515
>powerless and fucked
They honestly didn't seem that fucked to me. It almost sounded like they just wanted to leave because the other races were starting to slowly evolve into man and they didn't want a part of that.
>>70740440
Why did there have to be an "Age of man" in a fantasy novel? I don't even know why Tolken felt the need to insert that concept into the stories lore. It's like he was trying to say Middle Earth was essentially a different version of our Earth. Which was felt fucking unnecessary. At least, that's the message I got from that.
>>70740515
It wasn't so much the leaving, it was the kinslaying that really fucked them up
Poor Eowyn, spent so much time trying to get the D.
>>70740791
She should have gotten with Marry. Seriously, they fought in a war together and had a battle bond going. It at least makes more sense then throwing her and Faramir together for no reason other then Aragorn fucked both of them.
>>70738929
If you have ADHD it can be hard to finish a single part
>>70740095
>Girls; picking the fucking op blond elf and ranger with a "Muh sad past" and "Muh elf gf" over this deliciousness
>Girls; literally the shittyest taste in everything to fucking exist.
>>70740954
NO INTER RACIAL FUNNY STUFF
with lower races for humans
>>70738823
Frodo was carried into Mordor by orcs.
>>70741751
He was basically right next to the tower when the spider attacked, was that not Mordor?
>>70741673
>Not wanting to see Marry completely dominated by a hot human woman as she ties him up and rides his cock raw.
Shit taste sir. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.
>>70741673
>Not wanting Eowyn to have deliciously filthy hot degenerate sex with a lower race of human such as Marry.
Will we ever get such a high caliber fantasy movie?
>>70739035
They have children too. I'm not sure how they develop to have adult characteristics. They probably don't age physically (aging is about your body deteriorating). Elrond is like 6 000 years old or something
>>70744120
Elves are also basically a race you can decide to be, Elrond is only half Elf but chose to live as an Elf so he's immortal, but his brother wasn't because he decided to be human
>>70743088
The Dark Tower could have been good, but they had to cast a nigger as Roland.
Read somewhere that they're making the Name of the Wind film. That might be good.
>>70740697
>seem
>felt
>>70739459
Because their race was basically pre-ordained by God to leave middle Earth to Men at some point, and to return to live in the Undying lands.
>>70738823
Get
>>70744443
Fucking hell, off by one
>>70744443
>>70741036
ADHD is a real thing!!! xD
>>70738929
Not long enough.
>>70743088
A remake in a couple of years with a new diverse cast and problematic issues fixed.
