Without a doubt Lord of the Rings, Tolkien overall really. The Asoiaf books are generally pretty alright, but nothing compared to even The Hobbit, which is a child's book. Tolkien's world is far better crafted and interesting. As far as the movies/show goes it's still Tolkien. FotR is a near perfect film, the sets, actors and music is excellent. Though I did quite enjoy the early seasons of GoT as well, just as much. I'll admit I'm completely biased though, Silmarillion's my favorite book.

No I just enjoy Germanic legends and such which the Silmarillion is very reminiscent of. Perhaps you'd know that if you didn't just read whatever shit /lit/ tells you to.

Because JRRT was a professor of Old English at Oxford University and singlehandedly reinvigorated the study of Anglo-Saxon/Germanic literature. He is the reason Beowulf is read in schools today

GoT is just a manchilds attempt at making a 'realistic' fantasy TV show.
People think they're more adult for liking it when in reality it's shallow, pandering and overlong with shitty writing.

LOTR might've not been the most faithful adaptation but at least the movies were still good all the way through and didn't overstay their welcome.

I know taste is subjective but senpai your taste is downright awful.

The first asoiaf came close to lotr everything else was dogshit.

And the first hobbit movie was better than anything got put on

You're right, there's no arguing with someone this retarded.

LOTR makes no sense. Too much information and too many characters.

For example what is the point of Dernhelm? He shows up, gives a hobbit a ride then disappears and is never mentioned again. Same with Tom and that one elf. So annoying.
>>
>>71080060
LOTR has virtually no women, how can it be worse than "strong wymyn" show

>>71086888
Dernhelm is Eowyn you idiot, did you read the book?

>>71080060
LOTR: A work Tolkien (a brave soldier and brilliant academic) contributed his whole life to writing, incorporating elements of his faith, his hardships, and his morals into. It's also good prose, and cribbed from a variety of mythologies to modernize them into what we now know as fantasy today.

GoT: A fat atheist thought LOTR was too "unrealistic", so he wrote in his high school bullies and le brainwashed religious people to show how mean the world is. Kills characters for no real reason other than "it's like real life", prose frequently describes bizarre things (like cocks or diarrhea) to show how "gritty" Westeros is.

They could not have gotten a better Aragorn...god damn everything about him was so cool in the trilogy. He was perfect in both the action sequences and the more dramatic scenes.
