Honestly, I think the theatrical releases are better and some of the stuff left on the cutting room floor belonged there (looking at you, weird mouth of Sauron).

Get at me when they release the Tom Bombadil/Scouring of the Shire cut though.

Woah! Hot take. The mouth of Sauron is some of the coolest content that was cut.

Maybe Saruman shooting fireballs could have been left behind.

Especially Return of the King, yeah.

Having the "Surprise - ghost army!" thing happen twice kinda ruined it. In the theater having them swarm out of the ships was a real "Wow" moment and I'm glad it wasn't spoiled like it was in the extended editions.
