While there is a strong case to be made that Peter Jackson’s interpretation of Tolkien is one of the most popular series of movies ever made, it has to be remembered that it was a major gamble for everybody involved for them to exist at all. Thankfully, it paid off big time, and we now get the beloved franchise we know today that is such an essential part of the lives of so many fans. What is even better is that the magic of Middle-earth provides almost endless inspiration for the world of memes, something that keeps the passion alive even when you don’t have the time for your millionth rewatch or reread. If there is one thing that comes guaranteed with pretty much every Lord of the Rings fan, it is a sense of humor and a love of putting that into funny internet pictures that add even more depth to their favorite characters.
