The article now has 15 ways. Some are valid complaints, some are nonsense, almost none are actually about it aging poorly.

Their list

  1. No female main characters interact throughout the trilogy
  2. It is implied that every orc and goblin is evil
  3. Frodo's reunion with the Fellowship is ultimately underwhelming
  4. The movies lack diversity
  5. The story takes a while to get started
  6. Some main characters lack agency
  7. The heroes seem invincible
  8. Some characters show up momentarily
  9. Certain visual effects look clunky
  10. Elijah Wood's acting in some scenes is awkward
  11. It will inevitably be rebooted
  12. The Hobbit trilogy condenses the timeline of the LOTR trilogy
  13. Important scenes are missing in the theatrical cuts
  14. Major characters like Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel are cut from the films
  15. Return of the King fades out four separate times

  1. img

  2. They were literally created and indoctrinated from birth to be thus, that kind of brainwashing is most effective

  3. THEY ARE LITERALLY DIFFERENT SPECIES

#11 takes the piss though, bc that is true of every successful movie series, though notably it is mainly for successful rather than unsuccessful ones... ๐Ÿ˜œ
