Shire stuff was by far the most boring part of LOTR. Get rid of all that and add more about Minas Tirith. Actually, Tolkien should have added scenes from Dol Amroth. That could have been kino

Do tolkientards actually, unironically, without a whiff of doubt believe that Lord of the Rings is still the best in fantasy? Is there a clinical term for this sort of delusion?
