The Movies Excluded Many Important Elements of the Story

Okay, fair.

CGI Was Increasingly Overused in the LOTR trilogy

What. There's only a handful of scenes, where the CGI actually comes off as dated. Gollum still holds up today.

Female Characters Have Little Agency and Less Screentime

Kill yourself.

Monoculturalism and Race Stereotypes Make LOTR Feel Ancient

Again, kill yourself.

The Extended Cut Isn't as Accessible as the Theatrical Version

Don't watch streaming then, like a troglodyte. Buy physical media.

Years of Cultural Saturation Have Left Fans Numb

No???

Today's Fantasy Is a Lot More Subversive Than LOTR

Imagine thinking that's a good thing. And the fucking picture is of GoT.

lol

lmao even

Fears of a Remake Have Put Pressure on the Nostalgia

You know what, fair point again.

Thank you for writing that. Now I don't feel the slightest interest in clicking the link.

That being said, you don't have to subject yourself to it for our sakes, you know?

I'm genuinely surprised it took till point #4 for "too many white people"

You don't even need to wait for that point. It's become such a common argument nowadays that it's beyond cliche, any time a non-white discusses White anything, they'll always make it about White = bad. So, just look at the author's name, and make an extremely safe assumption that's what they'll argue.

Sometimes when they write stuff like this they know exactly what they are doing
