      I get from a narrative POV why the films made Boromir more lovable and Faramir less -- it gives both more of an arc -- but I still kinda hate it. Not if he found it on the highway would he take it, he said :(

      In more "wow I really slept through a lot of the Two Towers film" news, shrieking at Theoden's face when the elves show up at Helm's Deep. He's all "wtf this didn't happen in the book"

      I take back everything I said about the LOTR extended cut, I'm living for the Faramir/Eowyn scenes. Do they really work given how little development their relationship gets in the movie? No. Do I care? Also no

      I hate Arwen's mysterious illness & always have. I know why they shoehorned it in, but combined with how the films externalise all internal conflict about whether to resist Sauron, the overall message is "nobody fights evil unless they have an immediate personal investment"

      Which may be true but is not what LOTR is about!! You really do lose something when you make it so the choice to fight is forced on Faramir and the Ents and Theoden, rather than its being something they decide to do

      Movie Theoden is SO good btw. I think most of the characters are better in the books; movie Gandalf is just as good which is saying a lot -- but movie Theoden is better than book Theoden. I just love him

      This rewatch really has made it clear how much whiteness is conflated with good & dark skin/non-whiteness with evil/horror/depravity in LOTR. This is baked into the book too, it's just so VISIBLE in the films

      As is probably obvious from this thread, LOTR is absolutely foundational for me. What do you do when a story you love so much hates you that much? I've already sustained all the damage I ever will from it, but do I introduce it to my mixed race kid? I don't know.

      I still get chills when the Eagles arrive. If anyone wants to recommend books that do eucatastrophe as well as LOTR, please feel free

      Aragorn getting cleaned up and crowned is a filmic disappointment on the level of when Beauty and the Beast's Beast turns into a prince and his hotness reduces by about 1000%

      Replying to @zenaldehyde @chu_bacca

      At the premiere screening of the 1946 Jean Cocteau film Beauty and the Beast (from which the Disney movie took a great deal of inspiration) Greta Garbo stood up during the final scene with Belle and the Prince and shouted "Where is my Beast?"
