The Lord of the Rings VOTE
Added 2018-04-03 00:42:29 +0000 UTC
The Lord of the Rings VOTE won our next MOVIE Series!!
We had a lot of different requests on how to go about watching this. Please help us decide! We'll have this poll up for the month until we finish Harry Potter :)
Keep in mind if we do extended, each movie will be SPLIT into 2 separate videos... meaning we'll watch the first half one week and the last half the following week.
These movies are great, but way too long and we won't have time to react in one sitting (until we are full time here that is! ;) ;) LOL. Wishful thinking XD)

I know it's not going to win but I personally think watching Hobbit after Lord of the rings would be kinda disapointing. I prefer Hobbit first. It's how I introduced it to my friends and family.

2018-04-18 09:40:41 +0000 UTCLOL ;) That's why I love POLLs... many suggest so many different ways we should watch things and I want to make as many happy as possible. I do love listening to reasons why. All our fans here are so passionate and I love it. Thanks for being here! :)

2018-04-07 03:51:41 +0000 UTCWhen do you expect to be finished with HP?
Drew
2018-04-07 01:15:17 +0000 UTCWho on Earth would ever pick The Hobbit first? I was actually going to suggest you guys do the Extended versions in two parts before I saw this poll. That way you can basically treat the trilogy like a mini-series.
Drew
2018-04-07 01:03:23 +0000 UTCVery true. I was planning on watching the threatrical version all the way through if that one won... but even then, the movie is so long... I don't want them to lose focus. I know now that the extended in 2 parts is surely the way to go :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-06 17:42:42 +0000 UTCLOL! ;)
Storm Akima
2018-04-06 17:41:35 +0000 UTCIt's going to be half a movie at a time even if they choose the theatrical. They can't be expected to sit through 3 hours of the theatrical version in one sitting either.
Ozzy
2018-04-05 23:53:48 +0000 UTCThey'll be watching half a movie at a time

2018-04-05 18:46:18 +0000 UTCHello Akima, so I am new to Patreon. (I am doing the $5.00 donation) what email do you set up the links too? I signed up with facebook, is there a way for the links to go to a google email?
Paul Martin
2018-04-05 18:00:45 +0000 UTCThanks for your opinion!! I'm always curious what everyone thinks! At this point, I'll believe we'll be doing extended for all :D

2018-04-05 16:11:53 +0000 UTC*Happy Dance* :D
Storm Akima
2018-04-05 16:11:14 +0000 UTCHi Jack!! I'm excited you're excited!! :D I can't wait to watch this with them! I gave it a lot of thought and totally agree! Extended is the way to go! Each movie in 2 parts... then afterwards I'll make a 3rd part of 1 and 2 combined so those who wish to watch our reactions in their entirety, they can! Yay! :D
Storm Akima
2018-04-05 16:10:40 +0000 UTCWoohoo!!!! I can’t wait for these reactions!! I definitely think you should watch LOTR first, the extended editions. They just add so much flavour to the story and the world building, and since Mom and Kim only get one chance to experience this story for the first time, I really think it’s best to just go all out! I hope enough people agree with me because I think it would be a real shame to rob them of the chance to experience this amazing trilogy in the full manner that it was always meant to be experienced!
Jack B
2018-04-05 06:57:12 +0000 UTCIt's a good story though :))
RedLeicester
2018-04-04 23:16:14 +0000 UTCRotK extended is The Neverending Story. XD
Opti_Frog
2018-04-04 20:50:06 +0000 UTCLOTR is the story. The Hobbit is fluff. I've been a fan of Peter Jackson since 1991, and it is pretty clear he didn't want to direct more Tolkien films. They are by no means bad films, just uninspired.
Opti_Frog
2018-04-04 20:47:05 +0000 UTCIT'S SO CLOSE OMG
jayjay2961
2018-04-04 17:24:50 +0000 UTCCompared to LOTR? Absofrickenlutely! But I still like them since I love seeing Tolkien's universe come to life in any form :3
Ida Vinga
2018-04-04 17:02:44 +0000 UTCThe Hobbit movies are weak though.
RedLeicester
2018-04-04 16:13:50 +0000 UTCLOTR first, Fellowship and Two Towers can be theatrical but Return of The King MUST be the extended edition. Hobbit is whatever.
RedLeicester
2018-04-04 16:13:26 +0000 UTCI think it's better to watch lotr first. If they watch the trilogy first it wont seem outdated compared to the hobbit (special effects, aged actors and so on). If you start with the hobbit it feels like you're going back in time when you watch lotr later, even tho it's the opposite. Not that I feel the lotr is outdated, it's amazing!
Ida Vinga
2018-04-04 15:39:36 +0000 UTCThat my point the vote is unnecessary because it was already agreed when we had the first vote a month ago. I disagreed as a reader of the books. I think the movies are already far too short I feel that it is important that they watched the extended edition. I also feel it is unrealistic to expect them to sit through a 3 hour plus movie in one viewing as has been suggested by people voting for the theatrical version.
Ozzy
2018-04-04 14:06:39 +0000 UTCre Sandtrooper: I know that the Hobbit book came fist. So let's agree to disagree ;)
kati
2018-04-04 13:37:28 +0000 UTCHonestly? I prefer The Hobbit over LoTR too (although I love LoTR). I know, for most people to say that is a heresy, but what can I do? I utterly adore Bilbo and the company of Dwarves. Another unpopular opinion - I love BotFA (the third movie), even though it makes me sad. Just my 2 cents ;)
kati
2018-04-04 13:34:33 +0000 UTCWow, I have so much respect for Kim. Three jobs is a lot. For me, even one job is sometimes too much, because after coming home I don't have much energy left. So hats off to Kim. Hopefully, it'll change for her soon.
kati
2018-04-04 13:25:30 +0000 UTCExtended LOTR first. It may not be chronologically accurate, but it's how most people originally saw them.
Armchair Wizard
2018-04-04 05:35:46 +0000 UTCI second this.
Armchair Rizzard
2018-04-04 05:31:14 +0000 UTCAh come on Ozzy, let's not get upset at each other over frivolous disagreements. I don't really agree with Sandtrooper's suggested order either but nothing is really in jeopardy here. The vote is currently skewing either for the extended or the theatrical versions and I doubt many want the Hobbit first anyway. Either way, they'll watch some great films and we'll all have a good time! Plus, let's be real: the theatrical versions are totally fine. Most people watched those versions in the theater and that never stopped the films from becoming classics. The extended versions are just icing on the cake.
Torrey
2018-04-04 04:43:43 +0000 UTCThanks Edwin! If the extended wins, we'll do 2 parts... then afterwards, I'll make a 3rd video with both reactions combined for a continuous reaction! That may work well! :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:12:33 +0000 UTCThanks Ozzy! You are such a great fan! I hope the extended wins too! :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:11:32 +0000 UTCThanks Scott! I'm secretly hoping the extended wins too! It'll be strange to do 2 parts each.. but then we'll talk more with an intro and exit, so it could be fun too! Maybe after each 2nd part, I'll combine both part 1 and part 2 for a continuous extended reactions... that could be cool!
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:10:39 +0000 UTCHi jayjay! I'm curious how the poll will turn out! I haven't seen all of the extended, so that will be fun! Definitely will be 2 parts each... but I do think you may be right with the POLL vote... top choices are seen first... hmm...
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:08:29 +0000 UTCThanks for your input Marja! I'm so curious who will win! :D
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:06:21 +0000 UTCI applaud you Kati! Thanks so much for saying this! I rather not split up the extended movies... but I know that'll be better for Mom and Kim. I don't see how Mom can sit though movies that long and Kim just doesn't have that extra time in one sitting... the way we're growing here though, maybe she'll be able to quit her part time job soon! She works 3 jobs sometimes! She's amazing!! Thanks again! :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:05:56 +0000 UTCI love all of them... the third Hobbit movie I didn't care for so much. A few friends of mine don't care for the Hobbit movies.. a few others love The Hobbit over TLoR... which is interesting! ;)
Storm Akima
2018-04-04 02:03:54 +0000 UTCyes I am mad at you. I feel your obsession over the order in which the movies must be watched has jeopardize the story of both trilogy. They might watch the theatrical versions now. Which in my opinion are nowhere near as good as the extended. The order and the version was already agreed upon in the first movie poll which happened a month ago
Ozzy
2018-04-04 00:33:55 +0000 UTCThis is crazy. Only 4 people want them to be seen in order? The Hobbit first and The Lord of the Rings second is both the release order (of the books) AND the chronological story order. I presume most of the votes are the way they are simply because most people are more interested in the reactions for The Lord of the Rings and can't wait, but think about this for a moment. Let Kim and Mom experience the story in the order it was always meant to be told.
Sandtrooper (Lasse David Sand Østergaard)
2018-04-03 23:07:41 +0000 UTCBut The Hobbit comes first in the source material. The Lord of the Rings was written as a sequel to The Hobbit. You'll understand the first movie of any series better if you've already seen the rest of the series... But you also understand many things better in The Lord of the Rings if you've first seen The Hobbit.
Sandtrooper (Lasse David Sand Østergaard)
2018-04-03 23:02:12 +0000 UTCOzzy, you want to vote against the order I suggest because you disagree with it or just because you're mad at me for some reason? In either case, why? I'm not the only one who said they should watch The Hobbit first. Why wouldn't you want them to watch The Hobbit first?
Sandtrooper (Lasse David Sand Østergaard)
2018-04-03 22:56:57 +0000 UTCHarry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and after that perhaps Hunger Games, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean..... Ohhh, so much to look forward to! :D #happypatron I recommend you watch Kingsman 1 and 2 as well, they're awesome. :)
Pascale van Gils
2018-04-03 20:54:52 +0000 UTCI'd say skip The Hobbit movies, but that's not an option. XD
Opti_Frog
2018-04-03 20:47:59 +0000 UTCI can't wait for the star wars vote so I can vote against the order you suggest. The order for LOTR was decided when we had the first movie vote. Now we have to have this vote because you wanted the hobbit first.
Ozzy
2018-04-03 18:29:32 +0000 UTCI still stand by my opinion that LoTR should be watched first, then the Hobbit. Especially if the viewer is not familiar with the source material, i.e the books. I find it that people usually understand the Hobbit and its plot more (and they enjoy it more) if they've watched LoTR first. Of course extended editions are always better, but these are long ass movies, so it's understandable that you would want split each reaction into 2 vids. I think it would be too tiring for you mum otherwise.
kati
2018-04-03 17:37:27 +0000 UTCLord of the rings first & extended editions!
Maria
2018-04-03 17:15:33 +0000 UTCAs long as your mom and Kim understand that the Hobbit takes place before LOTR in the Middle-Earth timeline, i really don't care about the order. As long as it's extended. I feel like the people who voted for theatrical version didn't scroll all the way down to see the last option xD.
jayjay2961
2018-04-03 14:36:40 +0000 UTCI believe LOTR first then The Hobbit is the way to go. As to the extended versus theatrical, I would like to see the extended version, but theatrical is ok too as I really do not have a preference.
Scott T.
2018-04-03 13:12:58 +0000 UTCIt’s definitely worth the time commitment. I try to marathon the extended editions at least once a year. I really hope the extended editions win the poll!!
Rachel Dominas
2018-04-03 06:49:13 +0000 UTCI don’t know if you’ve seen it but Coco is a fantastic Pixar animation that came out last year. I highly suggest it!
Rachel Dominas
2018-04-03 06:46:43 +0000 UTCWhy shouldn't the other way be an option? That's the right way. The Hobbit is the original story and The Lord of the Rings is a sequel. No reason for first time viewers to watch it backwards just because the movies were made backwards. If you watch The Lord of the Rings first, The Hobbit is spoiled big time.
Sandtrooper (Lasse David Sand Østergaard)
2018-04-03 06:24:33 +0000 UTCAt this point I don't care about the order. I just want the extended editions to win.
Ozzy
2018-04-03 03:30:00 +0000 UTCI love the extended editions, but I really think watching the whole movie in one sitting is better, so I 100% vote for the theatrical. And definitely Lord of the Rings first.
Edwin Wickey
2018-04-03 02:26:45 +0000 UTCThanks Rachel! To be honest, I don't believe I've seen the extended versions... I did see some extra scenes separately at a friends house way after I saw the movies.. but not the same effect... would be cool to see as a whole :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-03 01:20:09 +0000 UTCI love these opinions! That's why I didn't want to decide... so many are passionate about both ways- release date or timeline order... same with Star Wars... that'll have a similar second POLL too. Thanks for letting me know your opinion! :)
Storm Akima
2018-04-03 01:19:12 +0000 UTCOMG, sure!!! I want to have a lot of individual MOVIE POLLs! Especially when we get bigger! Animations are my favorites!!! XD I'll create another this week!
Storm Akima
2018-04-03 01:17:19 +0000 UTCWill a poll for Animated movies come anytime soon?
Sidney
2018-04-03 01:10:54 +0000 UTCThe Lord of the Rings definitely before The Hobbit for first timers, the other way round shouldn't even be an option in my opinion. Theatrical vs. Extended might be worth a debate but I'm 100% Team Extended Edition on this one.
A. K.
2018-04-03 01:09:15 +0000 UTCEven if you have to split the movie up, you should watch the extended editions. There are a lot of great scenes and information that gets lost if you choose to only watch the theatrical versions!!
