TopicThe LotR extended edition is fun for a rewatch but man I can see why they cut it

What is this heresy? I love the extended versions.

Is there some extra padding for superfans? Sure, but there's also some stuff that really helps. Off the top of my head, extended edition scenes that outright resolve otherwise unanswered questions/plot threads:

-Galadriel's gifts to the fellowship
-Death of Saruman
-Gandalf vs Witch King
-Gothmog's death
-Aragorn/Legolas/Gimli getting the boats

And then generally great/fun stuff like:
-Mouth of Sauron
-The Fellowship leaving Rivendell
-Fangorn at Helm's Deep
-Faramir/Boromir flashback
-Faramir/Eowyn meeting
-Bilbo/Frodo actually having a scene together before Rivendell
-Aragorn being Dunedain... and hating Eowyn's cooking

Etc

You can definitely get by on just the theatrical cuts, but there's not a very good reason to skip the extended cuts.
