I think the biggest problem with LOTR and the Dune novels is that, from a modern perspective at least, they feel excruciatingly patriarchal.

I enjoyed Lord of the Rings. I haven't read Dune. I've never looked into the story.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I know he wrote it like in his 40s or 50s I think it was.

Yes, it is definitely much easier to just avoid them altogether...

in the first edition of The Hobbit, the character Gollum freely bets the ring in the Riddles in the Dark chapter. he had to rewrite it to make everything work.

Fair enough

I know they're popular though. I've never been a fan, even though I hadn't read the books until last year and this. The books are excellent though.

One thing Jackson's version did do was inspire me to make my own fantasy films. I had the idea that I could make fantasy films too and that I'd enjoy my own style more so I've been making some for a few years. It's hard when you're recovering from surgery and need to take care of babies and have other issues except now I'm really getting into it.
