The Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit / The War of Rohhirim / The Rings of Power film franchise[edit]

It was previously very clear that these two trilogies and TV series spin-off were closely related, and one large film franchise. Looking at the article's current form, I see that there is no mention of these other properties. What is the reasoning behind separating these articles? Wouldn't a format similar to the Star Trek and Star Wars articles be more complete/helpful to the average reader?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 04:13, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be any logical explanation as to why these were separated in to multiple articles. I'm going to begin working on a draft of what a better format could look like. Input from other editors would be appreciated.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 08:01, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you luck on it. I have been adding brief mentions of the Hobbit trilogy to the article, but they keep getting removed. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 12:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ChristianJosephAllbee: I'm sorry to hear that as that kind of behavior, without any logical reason as to why it is occurring is an example of WP:OWNing. I will attempt to make some edits and see where it gets me. This article used to be inclusive, while it is now completely reclusive of all related media. There shouldn't be numerous articles for the same franchise.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I made a little edit mentioning the trilogy. There is no reason at all why the trilogy shouldn't be mentioned here, as it was made by the same team (basically) featured many cast members returning and is even considered to be the same films series by the film makers. I also think The Rings of Power and War of the Rohirrim should be mentioned, because these works clearly tie into this trilogy (as much as the Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor & Shadow of War video games, which ARE mentioned in the article), regardless of personal feelings of certain editors, these works do exist and do tie into this trilogy, even if only loosely, and are part of its legacy.91.19.224.8 (talk) 07:09, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saw the Movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings and had also seen the Hobbit series...I thought the Hobbit series was more faithful to Tolkkien book as for the Fellowship of the rings it had a good beginning...but it kept jumping around of three different although interconnected stories....Bilbo Baggins was more beleivable than Frodo who keeps fainting; putting on the Ring, or getting stabbed or poisoned...you get the feeling Frodo friend is more faithful to the pupose to desrtoying the Ring than Frodo who subcomebs to the Ring powere but who is saved by Gollum....for example when the The Ords of the Rings..then Ents destroying the Sarameon tower...they dont show the Directors Cuts death of Sarameeon who falls from the tower for Wormtongue or the death of that another similar characther killed in the Hobbit who accidently propels himself into an Orc mouth becuase of his own greed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.39.250 (talk) 17:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
