As others have said, ASOIAF is much more engaging story and character wise. Due to the jumping between characters, you'll find yourself not able to put the book down because you want to find out what happens to the characters. As far as LOTR goes, it is a classic and there's a reason for its popularity.

Yes. They are not just good movies, they are great movies- with a few cavets... They are long and even longer with the uncut versions- watch the uncut ones, they give a better idea about what's going on. They are reasonably faithful to the books.

So is the Wheel of Time worth reading? Short answer: Yes. ... I would say books 4-6 are the best fantasy novels I have ever read. The series does slow down from there, but its still very enjoyable.

Essos is richer and more developed, but Westeros is infinitely more powerful. [1] It is 1.5 times the size of Westeros, I estimate. GRRM once said that if Westeros is South America, Essos is Eurasia. It takes over two years for a roundtrip between Pentos and Jade Sea.

Yes, George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice novels, on which the series is based, were bestsellers. ... But blood and breasts alone don't explain why the show became a social media phenomenon. This is because Game of Thrones, for all its grimness and brutality, represents a return of old-fashioned escapism.

ASOIAF is one of the best war games released in recent years. It has been designed both physically and mechanically to appeal to the modern-day gamer, and is available right now at your local Good Games store.

Top 7 Reasons Why Lord of the Rings the Theatrical Version is far BETTER than the Extended Version. ... But I feel strongly that the original Theatrical Version (TV) of LOTR is so much better in almost every way compared to the “Extended Edition” (EE).

I consider Avengers: Age of Ultron to be better than The Avengers. It has a better plot, it maintains what we love about the characters in the original, and it has a more expansive, thrilling set of action scenes.

FMAB ,on the other hand, has the better ( and pleasing) ending, with a completion on the storyline for all the characters. 2. FMA is slower yet shorter series, but FMAB is faster but more comprehensive and entertaining. Fight scenes and transmutations are way better then FMA.

So the full answer to the question, is yes Peaky Blinders is good. Damn good sometimes even. But if you have some form of ADHD then perhaps you want to skip it. And you should definitely stay away from GoT, that sucker has 67 episodes and one them clocked in at 80 minutes.

Yes, the books are worth reading. They have a richer feel than the films do, even though the films are spectacular. J.K. Rowling is one of the most talented storytellers and literary authors in history, in my opinion. But I do honestly think there's a lot more to reading the books.

Yes, they are. Beowulf exhibits the unparalleled strength and courage characteristic of an epic hero. Furthermore, like Beowulf, the typical epic hero travels a long distance to fight supernatural forces.

So while the median human is probably just as physically strong and intelligent as the median Silvan or Sindar elf, save the heightened senses of the elves, and both are inferior to the median Noldor, the greatest of humans and Sindar or Silvan elves are greater than a lot of Noldor.

No question, the books are much better. Even when the show was great early on, it still didn't eclipse the books. Season 1 of the show is better than the first book. The first book was pretty damn long and yet it contains pretty much everything from season 1 of the show.

All three Lord of the Rings movies have now been made available on Netflix – meaning fans can now spend more than nine hours reliving the adventures of Sam and Frodo. The streaming service first teased out the upcoming arrival of the cult trilogy on its platform in a somewhat cryptic tweet last week.

Attack on Titan or Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood? Both worth watching when you get the chance but brotherhood is definitely the better of the two in my opinion. FMAB, its everything just reminded me of Final Fantasy Tactics and it's very wonderful. Attack on titan is literally just not as well written FMA.

In absolute terms, Gandalf is certainly more powerful than Galadriel -- he is a Maia -- an angelic being whereas Galadriel is still only Elvenkind. However, Gandalf is also expressly forbidden by the Valar from using his power directly against Sauron (or any other forces for that matter).
