Re: Original works you read/saw *after* seeing an adaptation

Big LoTR book fan here and honestly? I get it. I love pouring over those books, and the Middle Earth lore and stories in general, but Tolkien's writing style really isn't for everyone and even without that sometimes a story doesn't click.

I love the books and movies the exact same just in slightly different ways and imo no reasonable fan should ever shit on you for not really getting into the books, we all gel with different things. :)

NAYRT, but I appreciate your understanding! I've always felt guilty for not getting into the LOTR books.

AYRT.

Awwww, don't feel guilty anon it's not something you can help. I love geeking out over Middle-Earth with other fans, but if someone just isn't into it then that's cool too, we'll find something else to talk about. :)

Like for me for 'not getting it' would be Star Wars, I find the films half-way fun at best and cannot get into it like others and while there's a little FOMO on my end when there's new content I'm also okay with not being into that part of pop-culture. Trying to force interest is worse and I'd rather watch from afar while SW fans have their fun.
