>[...] Payne and McKay have compressed events into a single point in time. It is their biggest deviation from the text, and they know it’s a big swing. “We talked with the Tolkien estate,” says Payne. “If you are true to the exact letter of the law, you are going to be telling a story in which your human characters are dying off every season because you’re jumping 200 years in time, and then you’re not meeting really big, important canon characters until season four. Look, there might be some fans who want us to do a documentary of Middle-earth, but we’re going to tell one story that unites all these things.”
I am 100% certain they don't have the skill to pull off whatever retarded shit they're planning even the LotR trilogy is not as good as the books, and that was the best adaptation we could have possibly gotten
Zachary Miller
I dont give a shit about timeline minutiae they clearly intend to just rape it anyway so who gives a shit
>*fanfic approved by the harpies currently feasting on the guts of their father's/grandfather's legacy to line their pockets Christopher was the last and only line of defense against this horse shit.
Noah Kelly
reminder that is is 9 am on the west coast and 50 LOTR threads with promo images suddenly appeared on the site
It's gonna be streamlined vanilla shit, same as every project this big. The best we can hope for is the capeshit type of shit that might still be enjoyable for people who like that sort of thing, though it will still be little more than a succession of well-tested tropes.
maybe because it's a very popular and beloved series of books and when new stuff is revealed about the show people want to talk about it?
Chase Morales
nope
Robert Hughes
Why should i give a fuck what Amazons fanfic is doing ? The Movies set the expectations and this doesnt look like the Movies so im not even gonna bother watching.
Ayden Reyes
maybe some of it’s marketing but it’s more the fact that it proves everything people thought about it right But maybe that’s the point overall
Isaac Allen
I will not pay Amazon. I will not watch. I will only go into threads to see webms and discussions of this mess. They wanted their diverse and inclusive Middle-earth story and had to create glorified fan fiction, yet they completely ignore the massive part of Middle-earth where darker skinned men reside. They will not be able to help themselves have Legolas tier bullshit for fights.
Eli Russell
They're doing it for the guaranteed replies the outrage of niggering up a beloved franchise provides, retard. You think all the Boyega threads when the TFA trailer dropped where shills too?
Jacob Diaz
>Galadriel as your average female action lead >Black people everywhere for maximum wokeness >Elrond as some boy-faced wimp >Maximum interracial love story >"Single-mother and healer"
It's going to be the absolute opposite of heroic or mythical, or anything LotR stands for, because the people who make it don't care for, or even understand, these qualities at all.
Justin Reyes
probably, i wasn't here at the time
Jack Hughes
this is not fun
Caleb Carter
This specimen is a literal 9/10 in my book, won't watch this garbage though
Why are normalfags so closed-minded? Why do they refuse to understand anybody who thinks different than them?
Jace Rogers
Just wanting to be right, I guess. Challenging your own beliefs makes you less certain that you're right. Truly challenging them makes you suspect the whole "being right" thing isn't as clearcut and ready-made at all. And who wants that?
Gabriel Reyes
There's some nigger kween latifa in the news promos today. Go woke, go broke. Lotr is dead to me.
Jack Robinson
Even fucking Peter Jackson with all his butchered movies sent the message of the books straight and clear These people only want to put black people in the lore where they don't belong and say they were always there A "single mother" (widow? Divorce is a NO for Tolkien) having a "forbidden love" (what the fuck does that mean) with a literal black elf, how in the fuck does that work?
