Today, my boyfriend and I got in a fight about which is better: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. We aren't speaking. FML
I agree, your life sucks 22 255
You deserved it 9 838

amburrjade tells us more.

Hi guys! I'm the OP :) I'm 19, and my boyfriend's 20. I thought LotR was better, personally. To be fair, I've only seen one of the Star Wars movies, and he's only seen half of one of the LotR movies, so we were both a little biased. This was last night though, and by the morning, it was forgotten. We're all good now. Thanks for your comments! :)

All right, look, there's only one "Return," okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."

Thank you, #60. I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone would reference this. Kudos.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too when I realized no one made a reference to that movie either, so I added one. Also you thank you too for understanding the reference, unlike some people who are likely to take offence to it without realizing where it actually came from. I'm glad I could make someone happy.

I honestly made an account just to say that. So since you already said it. I've made an account to thank you for saying it for me.

Whoever you choose that was better determines whether or not you deserved it.

Star Wars wins by far. In bored of the rings, they had giant ridable eagles yet still. chose to walk for 3 long boring movies. kind of .like the sword in Pacific Rim

Only Gandalf knew of the eagle plan. When he said "Fly, you fools!" the others didn't understand what he meant by it

According to the book- the eagles couldn't fly freely through Middle-Earth because of the risk of being shot down by 'men with great bows of yew.' Gandalf had before gained their trust by healing the leaders arrow wound.

Also, they'd be corrupted by the Ring because they are noble beings like elves. Remember, Boromir only held the Ring for a few seconds and got all murdery. An Eagle would have made a snack of Frodo and taken the Ring after just a few miles.

Plus the Eagles weren't Gandalf's to command; they probably wouldn't have consented to carry the Fellowship across the entire country, especially considering how dangerous it would've been for them. The Nazgûls' Fell Beasts would have probably snacked on the eagles.

Lord of the rings wins, although it does depend on whether you mean all the star wars or just the originals.

uh.. Star Wars... but only the original 3.

I like the second trilogy better *grabs popcorn*

Just dress up as slave Leia and kiss and make up.

Lord of the rings. My first love. Can't even say it goes it order because both series started in the middle....
