"What I ask or write now are questions and scenarios that do require some answering precisely because you have set the bar. ... those same high standards that Jackson had first of all imposed on himself.
You just... honestly compared this to one of the best film adaptations of an epic ever released? Oh, my gods... You have no idea how hard I'm blushing. That's... wow. Flattered doesn't even come close to how I feel."
The entire LOTR trilogy is my top #1 film, followed by Chariots of Fire, and Batman Begins. (grins)
Yes, my reaction to your series is the same as LOTR. Awed, breathless, heart leaping, mind shooting off into a dozen universes and possibilities... and because Jackson has so drawn me in into his universe, whenever I encounter I think is inconsistsent (like Arwen staying behind and dying) I go, whoa! The universe he's created is so real that the slightest seeming inconsistency kinda jogs you.
I seldom get that reaction from any movie.
Or any fic.
You're right. You have drawn me in. And I'm so glad you recognize that.
