The Lord of the Rings film series

edit

As I had originally stated at the Talk:The Lord of the Rings (film series) article back in February 2022 (and have since revisited there), it make zero sense as to why there are 2 articles separating The Hobbit movies (which are prequels to The Lord of the Rings) from the rest of the films. I have added a film table to the LOTR film series article which illustrates the initial formatting that can/will help that article. It is especially notable given the fact that there are now 2 additional LOTR movies that are upcoming.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 07:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

I have started a proposal to merge The Hobbit (film series) into The Lord of the Rings (film series) at THIS thread. As has been pointed out in previous conversations on that talk page and by other editors besides myself -- The Lord of the Rings film series includes the original LOTR film trilogy, The Hobbit prequel trilogy, and now the 2 upcoming standalone prequel films: The War of the Rohirrim and The Hunt for Gollum. To have 2 separate articles for the film trilogies is both excessive and inconsistent. For comparison, I would refer all editors to the Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men, and Wizarding World articles. Each of these articles include multiple trilogies and installments. None of them require an individual page for each trilogy. As was also pointed out by other editors, it has been attempted at various times to condense these articles and create one detailed replacement for the film series -- but it continues to be reverted. Please engage in discussions there, and include why/why not you believe this merger should happen.DisneyMetalhead (talk) 06:11, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Queer cast

edit

Are there any reputable sources that explore the fairly broad queerness of this trilogy's cast? Even as an interesting fact? I recently re-watched the trilogy and only now realized that despite the absence of canonical gay characters in Tolkien’s world and the direct coming out of most of the actors in those years (Mackellan's outing of Lee Pace was declared a mistake in 2012, as he didn't come out until 6 years later), no less than four men who played major roles in the trilogy are either openly gay or lead an openly gay lifestyle in at the moment.
