It is a testament to the power of Middle-earth that pretty much everyone who gets attached to it can never let its importance in their life fade.

People who first watched the original movies or read the books as kids often take a fondness for all things Lord of the Rings all the way throughout their lives; heck, some people even theme their weddings around it and make sure that it is one of those important cultural products that they introduce to their own kids. There is a whole generation who are treasuring it from cradle to grave.

  • That is before we even get into all the blessed individuals who were involved in bringing these stories to life on the big screen. Elijah Wood recently said that he would never want anybody else to play Frodo so long as he was alive, confirming his commitment to The Hunt for Gollum and presumably any other project involving his most popular character in the future.

    It just goes to show that much more than simply being the greatest fantasy series of all time, LOTR is a lifestyle. It is something that its fans and those who spread its message love to incorporate into so many things that they do. This can be seen in the vast quantities of memes that it inspires, with the fandom always finding new ways to spin different characters and storylines for humor purposes. If the strength of a story is determined by how many memes can be made about it, LOTR wins by a mile.
