    That’s not a valid comparison, lotr was waaaay slower and longer than movies of its time. If you want to compare against a modern mcu movie then you have to compare to a similar type of movie, like for example even years before lotr look at men in black from 1997

      They’re called “popcorn movies” and they’ve been around at least as long as I have. I personally don’t like the MCU films very much, but their existence and popularity doesn’t bother me any. (Except that now people think even more wrong things about Norse mythology, but I guess that’s better than the Nazis having a monopoly on it. Hel is a very nice girl.) This year was pretty great for good movies and games.
