#like Im still so hyped I got to see the extended versions in cinema it was magical

[ladyofthelake]

So I made some gifs for one of my sideblogs and it was Frodo and Sam in return of the King and I always appreciate anyone that reblogs things I make but in the tags they were saying about the films and the extended scenes and kind of bashing them (albeit lightly I have seen much worse negative stuff in tags) but like

really? do you have to do that under my gifs? (again at least its in the tags and not added as a paragraph underneath them)

but also also who the fuck doesn't like the extended LOTR scenes??! I never ever watch the theatrical cut anymore its always the extended they add so much depth and sometimes are just a fun scene but the additional stuff is always welcome and little moments that add extra emotion or weight like cmon man

also its not illegal to love the movies more than the books

there I said it

(for what its worth I am in awe of what Tolkien created and do own all his books and have read a lot of them and you can enjoy both media, both exist and can't be ruined by the other but trashing the movies doesn't make you look good nor vice versa. You're allowed to consume lotr the way you enjoy most it is not disprespectful and no one is a bigger or better fan of lotr no matter how you came to know and love middle earth.)
