Any committed fan of The Lord of the Rings can probably give a thousand different reasons as to why it is one of the greatest cultural products of all time. 

From the epic storyline to the unparalleled detail of the worldbuilding, to a wide range of characters with all their different eccentricities, those who love all things Middle-earth are spoilt for choice when arguing their case to those who are ignorant of LOTR. Perhaps one of the most convincing arguments, however, is how every single part of the story conspires to give us a thoroughly wholesome experience that makes an important point about the power of strong relationships. It is nice to have a reminder of that which also happens to be a fine and enjoyable work of art.

  • The way in which the fandom supports its beloved franchise is a big part of the reason that Tolkien-related products remain so popular. They come across as a friendly bunch who are also more than capable of having a wicked sense of humor. The reason that we know this is that certain parts of the internet have become a nonstop stream of LOTR memes, which have the dual purpose of building on the lore and giving people good reasons to rewatch and reread so they can remind themselves of it. They are also a simple way to enjoy Middle-earth without committing to hours of movies, and a silly pastime that even the most casual of fans can enjoy (so long as they are down with memes).
