Book or show/movies? Because I'm inclined to go with Lord of the Rings, but I grew up with the hobbit and those movies so I could be bias

I only read the first GoT book, so I can't weigh in on the others. Tbh I stopped reading after that because I found GoT depressing haha. I do know some of their content, though

One thing that LotR has going for it is it manages to pull off an epic "medieval"-esque fantasy in a tangible world with relatable characters... and it does it all without so much of the shock value.
'
A lot of the plot points in GoT revolve around rape, incest, torture, or gratuitous violence. Which is part of what makes the story what it is, and I'm not saying it's wrong for using those. Or that LotR doesn't have torture-- iirc thats how the entire race of orcs came into existence.
'
Just that LotR managed to have villains and victories and made you truly feel like there was something at stake... without dedicating so much screen Time to cutting anyone's cock off. Or spanking someone until they bleed. Or raping anyone with their dog, etc

Yeah exactly and even George R R martin said that he wrote the book inspired by LOTR...
