A Shire is like a County, but it comes from an earlier time period in Englands waves of settlers and conquerers back in the Dark Ages. There are plenty of examples of Shires in England still, like the "wash-your-sister-sauce" Worcestershire. The Shire of Worcester's sauce. The memory of Shires survives in American culture because the 'hand of the king' in each Shire was the Shire-Reeve, which is where we get the word Sheriff from today. And the Sheriff rules over their specific jurisdiction as the head law enforcement officer still, or the Hand of the King in modern times. The Shire is the name of the Hobbit homeland, where Bag End is located (The Baggins' House). The whole extended intro sequence up until Bilbo's Birthday was set in the Shire and showed life in the Shire. Then they left to go to the human lands across the river in Bree.

"Sister Lite-Brite" OMG I'm dying, because you're NOT wrong, and it's the answer to a lot of the 'odd' things in the Lothlorien scenes. Galadriel is one of the original-gangsta Elven Princesses from the Holy Land on the threshold of the lands of the Gods which is where the high elves come from. And she was alive as one of the line of elvish royalty from a time at the dawn of creation when the sun and moon didn't exist yet, and instead there were two Trees in her homeland, one which shone silver for half the day, one which shone golden for the other half of the day, and they'd mingle together as each shift came to an end. That Light was Holy Light from the Trees, and Galadriel was a strong in the ways of the Elvish Force, and her Hair glowed with a reflection of the Two Trees. The trees didn't survive long before Sauron's boss had them destroyed and a whole buncha stuff happened which is why Galadriel is in Middle Earth. But she's there in exile, because she's related to this now-dead guy Feanor who's kind of like Elvish Lucifer - once favored of Heaven, leads a rebellion, cast aside. And Galadriel is tarred with the brush of having originally been in Elvish Lucifer's camp because he was her cousin, and like, she's actually a spoiled brat who wants power, so she's been kicked out of Heaven by the Gods and forced to live among the mortals on Middle Earth until she can get over herself in her selfishness. Long way round to "Sister Lite-Brite" is perfect because her hair in book lore shines with the ancient celestial light of the Two Trees (now long gone, replaced by the Sun and Moon for light instead). This is why Gimli wanted a strand of hair (even Elvish Lucifer demanded she give him a strand of her hair and she refused him). Celeborn her husband and she glow differently because any Elf which has been in the light of the Trees glows with the echo of them when they're in Middle Earth. And also, the reason why she says "I passed the test" is because effectively she was banished from Elvish heaven for coveting power, so for her to stand before the most powerful item in the whole universe and give it up because the price was too high, she earned her ticket back into Elf Heaven. "I have passed the test. I shall diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel". She passed up the chance to become the greatest power in all of Middle Earth and bought a ticket home to Elf Heaven with the rest of her people. All lore that's impossible to fit on screen. Peter Jackson won points with die hard Book fans because of keeping some stuff in (and lost major points for cutting other stuff out).

The hobbit, the lord of the rings, the silmarillion all make up a massive lore. It's very long and complex so a lot of information is crucial world building or you won't understand why what happen later happens. The first movie is basically world building and introducing characters and lore and the next two speed up and build on that. These books are long and chock full of detail. Tolkien created 5 languages and wrote many poems and songs. For fans of the books these movies were about as perfect as an adaptation can possibly be to remain faithful to the books the fans and to be clear and entertaining for newbies. I'm writing this 4 minutes in but enjoying the reaction. New subscriber for this 😊

You keep referring to other stuff that Lord of the Rings reminds you of (Wheel of Time, for example, originally published in the early 1990s), and there's a good reason for that beyond the recency bias you were talking about. I'd say most of modern Western fantasy in literature (and now literature adapted to screen) was HEAVILY influenced by Lord of the Rings. It was originally published in the 1950s and has become a cornerstone of the (Western) fantasy genre. Tolkien (the author) and the tales of King Arthur and the Round Table are probably the foundation of fantasy as we know it today. Anything Lord of the Rings reminds you of was likely inspired by Lord of the Rings itself, which is really cool!
