Just as examples:
- I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
- I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
- Oh, and I’ve never seen the “hawk tuah” video.
I haven’t read or seen LOTR. Everything I know about it has been pieced together from parodies and references in other media. The magic the gathering crossover set was probably the biggest exposure I’ve had.
It would be interesting to get your take on LOTR and see how close you are to the actual story.
