> So for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring either "Lord of the Rings" or "Fellowship of the Ring" would count as title drops (feel free to hover over the visualizations to explore the matches)!

An unacknowledged partial title drop for that movie is that "Lord of the Ring" (with no s at the end) is uttered.

That isn't the same thing. The Lord of the Rings is the One Ring. The Lord of the Ring is Sauron.

Sauron is referred to as the Lord of the Ring and the Lord of the Rings (second being much more common) multiple times.

The Ring is referred to as The Ring, The One Ring, The Ruling Ring, and a few other things, but I do not think it is ever referred to as the "Lord" of anything.
