Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Before you get mad at me, when was the last time you watched it?
The best thing I can say about this movie trilogy is that it is kinda comfy
Yeh it was the audiobooks that I tries out, I gave it a good 10 hours or so, so I think I gave it a fair go but fuck me the singing was like nails on a chalk board for me.
I started skipping through the songs after the first couple but then as time went on I realised just how often it was going to happen and I couldn't stand it.
I thought I was getting into an epic fantasy adventure and instead I got a wanky musical about walking!
There is a lot of it in the beginning. It is an epic adventure though.
That's how medieval people perceived their epic fantasy adventures. It's correct. And authentic. And very cool, when you think about the distances they went, the scenery they saw and that they had no Google Maps, GPS and mobile phones for connectivity. It's between a very long hiking trip and a one-way ticket sleeper ship to Alpha Centauri.
BTW, another wrong thing from the movies - it feels there as if it all were happening in one world. As if they had regular trains between Minas Tirith and Fornost. As if they had TV. I dunno, something like that, because they behave there as if immune to distractions, one can imagine that in Forgotten Realms setting, where magic does everything that mobile phones and GPS can do, and "adventurers" roam everywhere, but not in Middle-Earth.
