Nobody is gonna read a whole book in 2025 lol
Nobody gives a shit whether some pile of condensed, bleached wood had something different to say about the story than the film, which is the objectively better medium anyway
What are you, 70?

I don't care about you zoomerbrain reevaluation. It's a 10/10 trilogy, you zoomers will never get anything like it in your lifetime.

>we'll never get a ten hour snorefest with bad cgi
oh no

>>213555558
that's right, all you will ever get is nogs, kek

>no another industry=bad chapter needlessly prolonging the story

tolkien would take the 2nd booster

>no undermining your own morality chapter, boo

You don't need the scouring of the shire in film form, over the course of the series we physically see how the hobbits grow and change, merry and pippin go from a pair of stupid careless assholes to knights of great kingdoms who can do what needs to be done, sam realizes his own worth and the value of his courage and becomes self-actualized, and frodo becomes suicidally depressed. It doesn't need to be hammered home with an extra chapter when those arcs are presented in visual form. That plus a 5 second scene in the little hobbit bar where a few meaningful looks tell us they can never really go home again because they aren't the same as they were before they left is all the meaning in the scouring of the shire.

That would have made it a two part movie and that would have been gay. Leave the big decisions to people who know what theyre doing

>>213555268 (OP)
Eh I can forgive it for length reasons, sometimes sacrifices have to be made to fit things in a movie

why wasn't a traitor imprisoned in a POW camp?

Fine, LOTR movies are way better than books
