Removed the ring. Just watching three movies of Frodo and friends living life in Hobbiton.

Reminded me of "Garfield Minus Garfield" - https://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

"""

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Removed the zombies. Just a guy in a sheriff's hat losing every group vote on where to camp next.

Removed the island. Now it's just a surgeon, a lottery winner, and a man carrying 40 knives all trying to get through TSA.
