      It does starts a little bit slow with the creation of the world, but when you get to the Noldor's journey to Beleriand (Middle earth) and their quest to retrieve the Silmarils, you will love it all that unfolds.
      Its my favorite book of all time, and by far.
      Can only dream that once they will adapt the first age to videogame or as a series, until then Im looking forward to see what Amazon does with the second age, hope its good!

Oversexualization seems to be on the decline though. I don't mind violence, gore and sexual content in like horror or thrillers or drama but not in fantasy epics. I'm only interested in heroes being selfless badasses going up against evil villains. Rape, incest, prostitution and foul language kinda takes me out of the experience and is a reminder of how horrible many aspects of our species can be. Plus it seems like cheap shock value. Game of Thrones is super popular and if it doesn't bother you more power to you, and to be fair GoT probably closer to what medieval times were like but I dunno, it just doesn't do it for me.

We laughed at "We're taking the hobbits to Eisengard", and we cried at "No parent should have to bury their child."

      @@CatusMagus Awesome! I originally watched the Matrix movies in my teens, but I've definitely grown to appreciate them more recently upon my re-visiting them after Resurrections. I'm even writing an essay about them (in comparison to something else I love)! 😊
