    Obviously, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Mainly movies for me because I haven’t read them. Extended editions, obviously.

    But also, I adore the mass effect trilogy. Yeah, the rpg elements get gradually watered down, and the third ones ending isn’t the best, but it’s still an absolutely amazing Trilogy that I replay yearly. And it all came out in 5 years! Nowadays, single games have 5 years of dev time, at least. In my eyes, it’s as perfect as it can be…Once it’s been modded a bit.

      Do yourself a favor and read the books

      The movies are fine, they are top notch, but the books are from another fuckin world

          I almost brought up the shield surfing 🙂. I decided not to. There were some little warts like that, and “I am no man” and etc, but overall the movies are awesome + about as faithful as you can get without making it into a miniseries that spans decades of production or something.

          You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

      Literally my first thought was “obviously, lord of the rings”. Opening the comments and seeing those exact words was strangely satisfying.

      There’s a podcast somewhere where a guy narrates uses amazing voice acting and music to deliver the story and it’s an absolute banger of a trilogy. One of the most magical experiences I’ve had. It’s like watching the movies but longer, better paced and way more emotional connection to the characters.

      The movies don’t say what the people are thinking and the actors did a phenomenal job to convey it, but the book explicitly saying it is better.
