please give me some character consistency season 2: Mulder believes that that one kid is influenced by the biblical devil, Scully thinks he is insane season 3: scully believes that another kid is a saint, Mulder doesnt believe anything in the bible and says they are all parables x-files really has a lot of wtf moments there. Like the superadvanced tracking tech in Scully's neck.
if you want character consistency, go read a biography. xfiles is fiction and they can do with it what they want.
Lord of the Rings is also fiction, but Tolkien put hundreds of consistant characters in his stories. Screw the "it's fiction" excuse. For example, what if Ultralisks suddenly became sholars that spread the word of the Khala? Hm? Character consistancy has nothing to do with the type of story. X-files scriptwriters just failed big time. Like I said before: it's a weird show. Not really that bad, though. *sigh* I just want to start watching Sanctuary. Amanda Tapping with black hair, lol. It's going to be good, even if the story sucks.
I thought you were talking about the difference between reality and fiction. Now you're talking about movies and series. Also: I go beserk if you say that Lord of the Rings is a movie. The REAL series (if that term even applies) is a collection of dozens of stories, poems, maps, family trees and much more. It goes deeper then any series ever made. I'd almost say it's more real then reality at some points, but then you wouldn't have a reason to take me serious anymore. But without making jokes: LotR is NOT a movie.
Lord of the Rings was first a novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien that was later brought to the Cinematic medium by Peter Jackson. However the LotR is an extension of the universe Tolkien sought to expand after the Hobbit. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. And yes the LOTR universe is one of the largest I know of in mainstream High Fantasy.
First off The God Father is and always will be the only true trilogy. Secondly the X-files went off air for a reason.
The Godfather movie trilogy was based off the book by Mario Puzo. Two subsequent books were released thereafter by another author who continued the story. The book isn't officially in my booksa trilogy in my opinion due to the author of the first not writing the next two subsequent sequel novels. That being said the movie trilogy can be called one of the best trilogies in cinematic history at least imo. However calling it the one and only trilogy ignores far too many other movies. Don't even get me started if you are calling it better than some book trilogies. You can't compare the two mediums. The X-Files went off the air after a very long air time. It is just one of the pieces of the past that come up every so often.
I'm comparing the movies... LOTR can't touch The God Father.... Because unlike LOTR The God Fathers story could actually happen.
It's not just an extension of the hobbit. Many stories about Arda in Eä were already written before The Hobbit. Not even mentioning the parts outside Eä about Eru Illuvatars Music. Seriously, Olorin the Maiar already had stories written about him before he became Gandalf in human form. As for Lord of the Rings being mainstream, that only applies to the movies. Read the Silmarillion and the other books that Christopher Tolkien completed after his father died. Seriously, I doubt any of you have even read half of what there is to read. Tolkien mainstream fantasy. Tss. He invented fantasy as it is today.
The Simarillion, The Book of Lost Tales, and Unfinished Tales are all collections of the work Tolkien tried to publish after writing first the Hobbit and then The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. However he was unable to. His son Christopher Tolkien is the one who finally was able to get the running copies going. All of those works however initially began as Tolkien himself creating systems of names and history to fill in gaps in his writing revolving around the Third Age and into the Fourth Age. He didn't invent fantasy as it is today though. Basing his work off Norse mythology since he was did know his ancient text allowed him to capture the feel of an epic journey. The Children of Hurin and those stories are in my opinion his best work considering that Turin Turumbar is one of my favorite characters. Not to mention his version of Romeo and Juliet through Luthien and Beren. Believe me I know my Tolkien.
