Is 'Lord of the Rings' better than 'Game of Thrones'

Peter Jackson's Middle Earth franchises 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings' had for a long time been the cream of the crop for fantasy entertainment, but now there's a new contender for the throne in HBO's 'Game of Thrones'

'Lord of the Rings' is regarded by many as one of the best film trilogies of all time, fantasy genre or otherwise, it's third film smashed Academy award records and to this date holds the record for highest number of Oscar wins, winning in every category it was nominated.

'Game of Thrones' doesn't quite have the same awards success, although it is the most pirated show on television and recently more people have watched 'Game of Thrones' than 'The Sopranos' making it HBO's most popular show of all time.

I think of people who mistreat others, who seek power without accountability, who aren't trustworthy, as fundamentally immature, adolescent. Love and sacrifice are the grown-up things.

Well-said.

Thank you. The value of literature is not just that it’s full of vocabulary, as I often tell my sons, but that it helps us to think about what we admire, value, and want to emulate in life.

GOT is just porn. Laughable to compare them.

Martin and Tolkien are quite different. That said, Tolkien is a giant...Martin is maybe the better of many to following his footsteps.

A great work of literature vs trashy erotica

Being pornographic is not “grown up”
