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.
