My wife and I just watched LOTR recently and it really highlighted how much i miss serious fantasy. There's comic relief in Gimli and Pippin but just having characters that take shit seriously is missing these days.

LOTR fans at the time were pissed that Gimli especially was largely used as comic relief, as opposed to his deeper characterization in the books. But you watch it now, and it feels straight up reserved in comparison to modern comic relief characters. And he gets plenty of meaningful moments too.
