No, but apparently the Tolkien Estate contractually locked them into five seasons and paying the entire sum for the rights, regardless of how much money the show made or how well it did in ratings.
As a result, Amazon is now having to cancel multiple other shows and features just to keep paying the bills it owes the Tolkien Estate.
I cannot believe that Amazon spent 500 million dollars on the rights to some appendices, only to make one of the hokiest shows of all time by entrusting this expensive project to some literally who writers.
>were gonna make it as shitty as possible and lose even more money and embarrass ourselves even more just to spite you!
theyre welcome to do that i suppose
Who authorized this shit? Like, what the frick did the person who came up with this even tell Bezos?
>"Yes boss. One billion, boss. And it absolutely NEEDS to be a hit for five years straight for us even to hope to get our money back and not hurt our brand."
None of this happened btw, its the incel cope to explain why RoP has just been renewed for yet another season without admitting that its a huge success.
Amazon has so much money that they could make ten of these shows that all bomb equally as hard and not even break a sweat.
I'm glad it was such a total loss for them, but the next season needs to bomb worse for them to get the message and change course.
It's still a disappointment. There's also an ego thing with Bezos where he thinks he's en expert on making TV. Amazon is losing eyeballs to Apple+, which you just know makes Bezos seethe.
Elrond + Durin scenes were great. Hardfoots were fine. Gandalf/Saruman/Wizard whoever he will be was decent. All Galadriel and Halbrand shit was awful. Terrible writing and acting. Arondir and the village was just annoying and silly. There was a good show in there but its surrounded by shit writ8ng
Its so depressingly awesome to me that Americans turned corporate franchising into a political landscape. The discourse around these, how if you disliked X or Y you were actually a bad person, holy shit. Its so insidiously clever.
And you Eurotrannies fall for and engage in the exact same shit every single day, taking one look at your media or your activity on the internet on any given day. Congrats.

>Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful, and her hair was held a marvel unmatched. It was golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis, but richer and more radiant, of its gold was touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother; and the Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees... had been snared in her tresses.
It's always possible they've learned there lesson and will go for a smaller, cheaper to film season with some better and more tolkienesqe writing. There's always hope, that was one of Tolkien's themes.
The worst part is that you know for a fact that anyone who likes it only likes it because of Galadriel. Not because they like the writing or the show, but because they're some moron simp for a single actress in the show.
Street shitters are keeping it afloat.
Did their stock dip at all after this?

It's really something. Good for them, I suppose.
Oh frick, that's funny.

The showrunners were recommended by JJ Abrams
Chexked
>israelite israelite Abraham
kek. serves ~~*Bezos*~~ right for trusting the tribe.
Checked and true. You know israelite nepotism is real when the most expensive TV show ever had show runners with NO other credits.
You mean the guy who ran the biggest franchise in history right into the ground with no survivors? That JJ Abrams?
you mean the guy who made star trek kino?
You mean the recent failed Star Trek reboot that's now being rebooted again? That JJ Abrams?
Amazon could just make this show shitty as possible as a big F you to them
It's an FU to all of us. I believe the point of everything being shit tier is to destroy our culture and lower standards.
>were gonna make it as shitty as possible and lose even more money and embarrass ourselves even more just to spite you!
theyre welcome to do that i suppose
could?
They already did that but probably not on purpose.
Yes, they fricking dip big time
>amazon employee
>but apparently the Tolkien Estate contractually locked them into five seasons
source?
>paying premium for tolkien's work
>still have to write their own shit

two more weeks and bezos will register for welfare check

>show is only thought bad because people don’t have sex
I don’t get it
Tolkien estate seems israeli as frick. Are they even blood related to Tolkien at all?
Jews like to marry into influential families and lead them astray. Probably the case.
Do you know what a stock is? It doesn't measure profits and loss.
Not what I asked about. Talk to me, not the voice in your head, dipshit.
Why else would you ask about the stock when we're talking about the performance of a product? Don't lash out at me to cover your own embarrassment.
That's two assumptions you've made about me with 0 evidence. You live in your head. Go outside. Make some friends.
Your inability to say anything of substance reinforces every assumption I've made.
It really is something. Even the super cute hobbit girl couldn't get me to start episode 2
I made it like 5 minutes before laughing hysterically at the shit dialogue and turning it off. Can't believe you finished an episode.

apple isnt also not doing that great series wise tbh, but they sure doing alot better than amazon lol.
>Look, I know what it takes to make a great show

Jesus Christ she is fricking stunning. Morfbros won again...
She's one of the few women who look pretty when they don't smile but when they do it absolutely ruins their look.
She looks like she likes anal
Cute Morf

I wish. But it'll take more than that.
