GoT or LOTR

I know one is series and the other is movie, one have more fantasy and the other realism, but more or less they are comparable. Which one you think is better?

I started watching GoT, it's good, costumes, dialoges, scenario, set, i don't like sex scenes though. And for LOTR, 10/10 for me, races, story, battles, costumes, set.

Not even a comparison really. LOTR was great but it was kiddie stuff, GOT is the real deal.

I prefer vikings...

Voted LOTR for the books. If there were no LOTR, GoT wouldn't exist.

In terms of video, it's apples and oranges......one is gritty realism (for fantasy) and the other is a PG boys adventure story.

So I'm going by the books. Tolkien is by far the superior author.

Voted LOTR to pis the GoT super fanboys off

Watched few episodes of 1st season of GoT and all the of LOTR , can say LOTR was much more interesting and fun to watch.

LOTR master race

I feel the LOTR films done a better job at capturing the books where as the game of thrones TV show sort of went off in its own direction. But personally i couldnt pick between the 2... both great in their own way. In my honest opinion i like vikings far more than both of them.

Kiddie stuff? Those ugly orcs, blood and battles are kiddie stuff for you?

What the hell did they do to you in your childhood...

Vikings is historic show, GoT & LOTR are fantasy worlds. So which fantasy world you like more, as depicted on the television?

I guess Slavs like LOTR more, maybe because we have GoT in real life

You have to choose! GoT or LOTR fantasy world on TV?

Votes casted in the first hour: LOTR was leading superiorly


Khal was probably the only one voting for GoT haha

Is this an actual poll ? Please.

I have read the LoTR books and Sillmarilion, watched the movies over 15 times each. (no joke, I loved them as kid, teenager)
I have watched GoT up until now.
I feel I would need to read the GoT books too to offer a proper comparison.
But I will try as I don't think I will ever read them.

As highlighted above, GoT was partly inspired by Tolkien's work. Before LoTR appeared in Romania, everybody was excited about it and when the first part came out, same with 2nd and 3rd, I and all were like . I feel GoT has a similar impact, I mean everybody waits for it and when the new season/episode comes out, it's like wow. For the lenght(of the tv series), I pick GoT. For the impact over time, LoTR.
Ps. In the next GoT season I w8 for the scene which will, imo, rival with the pellennor fields one from LoTR, namely the final showdown between ww and the men alliance.

It's hard because I love GOT but cmon, it simply does not exist without LOTR. Have some respect for the classics. Also Tolkien was gifted out the arse: created the modern fantasy genre almost by accident, invented a few fully self-contained languages for funsies and spoke a dozen real life ones, all the while putting out respected scholarly and nonfiction work as a professor at Oxford. GOT is some of the best TV I've ever seen but can the books take all the credit for that? I'm not so sure
