Never played tabletop before (mostly cause of nobody I knew growing up played or talked about it. So didn’t know of it til years later and again idk any players in Rl. I know one on here though) But interest has drawn me to explore and research it and I can definitely see your point.
I started the LOTR books when I was a kid but never finished them. I think they were the movie addition however as the covers had the movie version characters on them. But after seeing the trilogy and loving them, I never got back to finishing the series. Kinda regret it cause as a kid I didn’t know certain details in the movies are inaccurate and some characters played different roles or were not part of certain battles or scenes. Between that series and Harry Potter I learned you can’t fully trust movies to be completely accurate though I did finish the Hp series as a kid so I knew the differences better in that one at least.
Indeed. No, I’ve heard of it but not a book I’ve come across in Rl and read, also can’t say I’ve seen the movie. Aren’t they making a new movie with Dave Bautista as a remake of it? Or maybe I’m thinking of another series.
Yeah. I’ve heard it could or is supposed to be good. (Keep in mind I’ve no knowledge about this book or the original movie) But I’m not sure how that could be claimed if nothing has been shown yet. Or if what I heard was even accurate or some clickbait title or story from a unreliable source looking to get views rather then legitimate info or review. But if true, it sounded interesting from what I heard about it.
While factual, no media could possibly hope to capture dune in a one-off let alone immensely in under 20 hours. Wasn't it like a or two hours long? Just to set up everything would need overall five with periodical breaks and dedicated introductions ranging by visual for some and a combo of showing and telling. About twenty minutes to figure out what "exactly the hell" is going on including with arrakis, and that can be halved through artistic visualization. Forty minutes for character basics, and the rest for
Indeed, inspiration from his works can be seen in almost every fantasy story we tell in modern times. I generally am hard pressed to find one that wasn't either directly inspired, or inspired by another story that was. Truly his world had a profound effect on the culture of storytelling itself, from world creation to tropes that we reference regularly.

The reason that you've not seen commercials for the LOTR show is that it is still in production that I believe has been affected negatively by the pandemic.
The movies will remain a work of art imo. You’re right about how epic they remain considering it was twenty years ago when they were made. Between LOTR and HP growing up plus Star Wars, they really got me hooked on exploring the more fantasy based and creative sides of reading and etc.
This makes sense and quite reasonable. but also kinda feels like a few years for me since I started hearing about it.

I don’t know what Tumblr is like on the whole. But Reddit I haven’t really checked out much, few times I have and was a mixed bag for me. Though haven’t checked out any Tolkien related threads there.
