    There’s no sign of Frodo Baggins in “Avengers: Infinity War”—which is bizarre, given how much of the movie is pilfered from “The Lord of the Rings”: http://nyer.cm/oNKzb36 pic.twitter.com/PbVEFiYU6B

        I'm also suspecting they didn't read Lord of the Rings and made the comparison based entirely on the fact that both movies had posters showing a large ensemble cast.

        Excellent article. Looking forward to your 2019 Super Bowl column where you attend the game and write 4,239 words on how the it didn’t satisfy you because “All anyone cared about was football and no one seemed to want to discuss the geopolitical landscape of late 1980s Iran.”

        I get the impression whoever wrote this has never watched any of the Marvel movies nor read Lord of the Rings.

        Yeah, if your going to complain about a work being derivative its a good idea to understand the original work you claim to be defending.

        I can almost taste the bitterness in this article. Hate to tell you, but the stuck up movie critic persona is overrated
