If “The Lord of the Rings” was a dark fantasy of the 80s: the view of the Midjourney neural network (21 photos + 1 video)

More than 20 images with the main characters, monsters of Middle-earth and well-known locations.





Dark fantasy is a rather dark subgenre of fiction that includes elements of horror and gothic. Among the famous films it includes “Underworld”, “Pan’s Labyrinth” or “Van Helsing”.

The cult “Lord of the Rings” never belonged to this subgenre, but now you can see how the film might have looked in such surroundings if it had been filmed back in the 80s, when computer graphics left much to be desired. A YouTube user with the nickname demonflyingfox, who created the corresponding requests to the neural network, allowed us to take a look at this version of the feed.
