I'm guessing you're talking about the books. Those Hobbit movies were GOT Season 8 horrid!

LOTR trilogy > GOT. 

I enjoyed the trilogy but The Council of Elrond is, honestly, the worst chapter of a book I have ever read. Basically Gormenghast is better than both series.

he finally finished it.

 

 

Expand  

can't believe i watched every damned second of this two hours and thirty-seven minutes but i did, and i enjoyed it thoroughly.

two and half hour movie? nope, not interested, too long, blah, whatever. two and half hour take down of one episode of a series i've only seen like half of? i'm there with (the) bells on, bitch.

LOTR with titties would be a truly amazing thing.

Man I don't remember anything that happened in those movies. All I remember being super bored during the first half of the first movie and the part with Smaug which was pretty sweet. They should have just done a Smaug trilogy instead where we watch him sleep, kill some villagers, and maybe paint a wall or something. Anything would be better than what we got.

In some video a few years back Peter Jackson has The Silmarillion on the table bookmarked with lots of notes. Uh oh. Gonna get another trilogy made from one book of seperate stories

The LOTR books were indeed great, I just meant the three movies left a much greater impression than the show, GOT.

GOT was a big stupid bacon double cheeseburger of a tv show. Tastes good in the moment and then there’s the shit you take later(realizing what a waste of time it really was)

that's the magic of reading, you can imagine ANYthing you want! maybe Gollum has a thicc ass and he likes to make it c l a p in between the scenes, anything you can IMAGINE is possible! 

also holy fucking wow there is some really hilarious gollum porn and it all very NSFW so i'm not going to post any like was going to. i leave this as an exercise for the reader.

Fuck Gollum, Marry Smeagol, Kill Frodo

It is sad that what GOT will be remembered for is it's ending and not the good first few seasons. It seems 70% of a shows legacy hinges on it's ending.

It had potential that it never followed through on because they just weren’t interested in doing that. Even in the better moments of the show I sensed a certain cynicism and sort of contempt for the viewers. A kind of shallowness/cheapness I definitely didn’t sense from a show like The Americans, for an example of a series that aired at the same time... on regular TV, no less. 

I know I can’t be the only one. It’s like the gore/porn is what the show was really selling you and any plot/character development was an obligation or simple copy-paste from the books, apparently. Even the dialogue was ridiculously pornographic at every opportunity. Because fantasy shit is for nerds! Lol! Rape everything with my huge cock!!! Very teenager-y and juvenile. Not great HBO series storytelling. I may sound like an old lady here but it’s my honest opinion. People oversold this show a lot and I kept waiting for it but ya know.

Well yes.  If you run 95% of a marathon but decide to walk the last bit then you kinda fail when everyone else runs past you
