A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

Wasn't the entire point of CGI that it's easier and thus cheaper than practical effects, shooting on location etc.? I wonder how instead, it became this weird mix of absurd budgets, lame CGI and lame scripts at some point.

No, that wasn’t the point. It’s just another tool, not a wholesale replacement.
