Better Trilogy:LotR or Indy?

[CelticPredator]

Not any more.

 

[Phil Sierra]

Lord of the Rings is better. Thread done.

 

[The Josh]

Not any more.

How so?

 

[crows]

And neither is Lord of the Rings.

Exactly so saying anything about Indy is silly........

 

[The Josh]

Lord of the Rings is still a Trilogy. Unless I've forgotten a fourth movie.

he is talking about the hobbit movies right?

 

[CelticPredator]

Yes. With the Hobbit movies being prequels, the Trilogy ceases to be.

Same characters, takes place before LOTR, they are prequels.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Dont really have an opinion about these two films, I do think someone has went a little overboard with the modding however. I had no idea this forum was serious on a level with an astrophysics forum, I guess we all know better now. Sheesh.

Serious flamewars, yeah mod those - but people having fun, I don't see a problem.

 

[CelticPredator]

None of this is fun. The mods should've stepped when Bat was making his first poll.

I assumed so.

It sort of is but it mostly isn't. The Hobbit is its own separate story with a few characters and events that play into what we will see in Lord of the Rings.

 

[CelticPredator]

You could say that as Star Wars.

Semiotics aside, after december, it's not a trilogy. The story movies into LOTR.

Not a bad thing...it's just what happens.

The Hobbit simply compliments the LOTR (in the films case), it doesn't nullify it as a trilogy.

While it does bridge it, it doesn't necessarily cancel out LOTR as a trilogy,

How many "fun" polls do we need?

Here's one:

The people have spoken - and most of them are tired of all the polls. A couple is fine...but this is just silly now...and not in a "fun" way.

If that's what you want to tell yourself. This particular topic is kind of my thing (Middle-earth) so I put a bit more stock in that I know what I'm talking about.

The LOTR is and always will be a trilogy. Even the Tolkien Library - lists it as a trilogy.

The Hobbit - even though it will be broken into 3 films, does not make a trilogy, imo, as it is based off of one book and some appendixes.

 

[Valfar]

LOTR by a mile.

.....The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are two separate stories. The Star Wars saga is not.

 

[CelticPredator]

Most people won't see it that way. But who cares.

Pretty much. Especially in the bookverse. Now, movie wise The Hobbit will be its own trilogy and a few events/characters tie the stories together. It's not a prequel in the sense of SW.

they are wrong just like you are wrong.
