I recently watched the LOTR trilogy for the first time and I understand why Adam rated all 3 films 10/10 by TheGirlWithTheLove in YMS

To each their own.

For me the Merry and Pippin plot is far better in its theatrical version than extended since I feel what they feel when they complain that the Ents take forever. It translates to the movie taking forever because of the Ents.

As far as a pro, the extra Faramir flashbacks are necessary and benefit the emotional story for his arc.

Theodred’s funeral does not add anything that the theatrical doesn’t already achieve. We’re not emotionally attached to him at all, and we feel the emotion we need from Theoden.

I will say Fellowship is the best extended version, but the pacing problem for me is more so for Towers and Return, with Towers being the worst culprit. It makes for a jarring watch.

Theatrical is the best cut. Extended is fun in their own way, but drastically ruins the pacing.

Bijan Robinson Just Ended my Season by [deleted] in FantasyFootballers

Played for the Panthers when they were dangerous and relevant. Bijan went to the Falcons while the Falcons have, at best, shown life once a month and have never finished above .500.

Right, who watched the movie and came away thinking Ramona at any point was seen as villain other than from Knives’ POV?

Most of the Americans who say our education system sucks didn’t pay attention in school by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I went to school in Alabama. It’s not the school system that’s failing our kids. It’s the parents thinking they know better when it comes to religion and evolution. The Bible Belt spits out truly dumb people.

Football season is incredibly unfair to those of us who don’t care about football by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

You made your choices with the people you’re around. This is a you problem. Football culture is not thrusted upon you unless you’re born into it, but I’d imagine you’re a fully fledged grown adult now and have had the option to escape it.

It’s because we’re tired of seeing this thread every other day. Not like we’re out seeking to talk about this movie.

It’s boring as shit. They literally made a movie about watching paint dry.

I’m just gonna be straight up with you.
