Obviously, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Mainly movies for me because I haven’t read them. Extended editions, obviously.
But also, I adore the mass effect trilogy. Yeah, the rpg elements get gradually watered down, and the third ones ending isn’t the best, but it’s still an absolutely amazing Trilogy that I replay yearly. And it all came out in 5 years! Nowadays, single games have 5 years of dev time, at least. In my eyes, it’s as perfect as it can be…Once it’s been modded a bit.
Literally my first thought was “obviously, lord of the rings”. Opening the comments and seeing those exact words was strangely satisfying.
Video games, Movies, Books
It has 3 solid GameCube games
It has 3 soild movies
It has 3 solid books
There’s a podcast somewhere where a guy narrates uses amazing voice acting and music to deliver the story and it’s an absolute banger of a trilogy. One of the most magical experiences I’ve had. It’s like watching the movies but longer, better paced and way more emotional connection to the characters.
The movies don’t say what the people are thinking and the actors did a phenomenal job to convey it, but the book explicitly saying it is better.
Half Life.
…
…
…
…aaaaaaaany day now.
I mean Half Life 2 itself could be considered a trilogy
The Dollars Trilogy as it’s sometimes called. Italian westerns Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad and the Ugly
Also called the Man With No Name trilogy.
as a functional trilogy the Back to the Future film series is pretty high up there.
Great Scott!
Also, apparently it has an animated cartoon series. Just learned about that the other day
Animated series plus you could consider the Telltale Games BttF the fourth movie, as it was written by Gale and has most of the cast. (MJF makes a cameo, Biff’s actor said his agent never contacted him)
Yeah it’s called Rick and Morty it’s great
How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy.
I watched the first one on a ferry, and just hearing the title made me think it was going to be some nonsense. And then it was amazing.
Then they announced a second, and I was thinking what do they expect to do with this and then they gave something intensely heartwarming and heart wrenching. I found it better and deeper than the first.
And then the third. I don’t think it was as clean as the other two, but it closed it off so beautifully I was bawling at the end. Absolutely perfect.
The first three Toy Story movies.
There’s no way you all didn’t cry at the end of #3.
A movie can be bad and still make you cry.
Jack Frost anyone?
Click.
The movie Click made people cry?
Yeah it’s got a reputation for exactly this. It’s a terrible movie, but the ending is a completely stupid and unearned tearjerker.
Toy story 3 was awful
Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations aka the Ezio trilogy. I remember playing it when I was quite young and the parkour elements blew my mind. Ezio was a very charismatic character and these games were imo the best Assassin’s Creed games, before Ubisoft went to shit and started churning them out every other year.
Lord of the Rings. I have no complaints and am probably one of the few who know why the eagles didn’t fly into Mordor.
Why? (I’ve heard but forget)
Lord of the rings (Peter Jacksons first run of the series not that shitty hobbit shit) movies extended edition of course. Halo 1-3. Mass effect 1-3.
I second the halo series.
For a brick, he flew pretty good
Half Life, Half Life 2
The mass effect trilogy. Yeah, shut up, the ending is great. NEVER had a problem with it. It’s a videogame, really expecting that the ending will take into account all the decisions over 100 hours of gameplay and dialogue and give you a very personal ending for you is lunacy. Even real life doesn’t work like that. The 3 endings with slight variations depending of your war assets was more than enough for me.
Halo 1-3, both the single player story and the evolution of the multi-player.
Came here to say exactly this. My favorite video game trilogy of all time, played through each campaign countless times and multiplayer on MCC from time to time. Never gets old.
Single Player on Heroic or below.
The increasingly inaccurately named Hitchiker’s Trilogy by Douglas Adams.
John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy (Prince of Darkness, The Thing, In The Mouth of Madness)
The increasingly inaccurately named Hitchiker’s Trilogy by Douglas Adams (…)
Aka: the trilogy in five parts? But yeah, it’s a great pick book-wise
The Next Generation Deep Space Nine Voyager
I know that technically doesn’t count but whatever.
