32 Lord of the Rings Memes for Those Who Know the Extended Editions Are the Only Versions That Matter

Look, I'm not saying that if you've only watched the theatrical versions of The Lord of the Rings, you're not a real fan—but I'm also not going to pretend that you are. It's an age-old debate: which version is the definitive way to watch these films? And honestly, I cannot find a single good argument in favor of the theatrical cuts.

Let's break it down:

  1. The extended versions have MORE Lord of the Rings—which is always a good thing.
  2. Extra scenes—and you cannot put a price on more Middle-earth lore.
  3. They're longer, which is objectively better than shorter.
  4. They're just better. End of discussion.

Some people argue that first-time viewers should stick to the theatrical cuts because they're "easier to digest." I disagree. If you can commit three hours to one of these movies, you might as well go for four and experience the full journey the way it was meant to be seen.

So while you're waiting for your next LOTR marathon (because let's be honest, you're due for one), enjoy these 32 memes that celebrate the best trilogy of all time—extended edition, of course.
