>The island of Númenor is ruled by the queen regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), and this seemingly idyllic paradise is facing tensions of its own. Númenórean royals are human but have elvish blood, and for years, they've been friends with their immortal counterparts.
LOL! It's over Tolkien bros....

Ar-Pharazon will be the evil white man who usurps her throne and causes Numenor to fall into darkness
...but that's exactly what he did in Silmarilion. He forced a marriage upon his own cousin to take the throne, and then caused the destruction of Numenor.
Yes but now he'll look even worse because his wife is a noble and enlightened black woman. They race swapped her to further their anti white male agenda.
... the faithful Numenorans will be saved by Elendil and Isildur, played by two white men.
>Isildur
>White man
If you say so...
He is white though he's English and Eastern European. He's just swarthy like some brits are.
Russian mother, white English father
Russians are Asian
Have you ever been to Europe, you stupid fricking yank? He looks completely European.
yeah he looks like the average turk in berlin or the average paki in england, the average libyan in the netherland and the average syrian in france
>yeah he looks like the average turk in berlin or the average paki in england, the average libyan in the netherland and the average syrian in france
this really, I'd have said north african. No one from northern Europe is that colour
With his parents
It's his Russian mother that gives him the more swarthy complexion, she just looks med more than anything
I’d say it’s his Paki mother they bought him from.
Russia is actually a pretty diverse country
both parents look mixed
How did he manage to get Jackie Chan to be his mother? Serious question.
The adoption agency asked him to name five moms that weren’t Jackie Chan.
>Have you ever been to Europe, you stupid fricking yank? He looks completely European.
I'm blue eyed and very pale skinned to me that looks like someone north african or perhaps someone from a poor background from southern Italy or spain
Facial features are what makes a European, not skin/eye colour. He has a fully European face. Turks will have enormous noses and look like apes, same with North Africans.
>He has a fully European face
he looks like a monkey
And I'm sure you look like Brad Pitt chuddy
Turks are literally mostly white.
turks look darker than spaniards and spaniards are rather swarthy. Turks have never been and never will be white.
>He looks completely European
Yeah. So not white
looks like one of those "new" Europeans
…..come on man
t. sicilian
if that dude's white then i'm transparent
Looks israeli.
>Isildro Ramirez
That looks like the egyptian kid from rome
That's because it is him
He looks like any other northern Mediterranean. If there's a character they didn't frick up casting-wise, it's this guy.
mayb he could pass as white in your muttland but he literally looks like a Black person
and if it wasnt enough a total homosexual as well
>in your muttland
Sorry to break it to you, but if your ancestors didn't live by the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea a.k.a. the craddle of western civilization then you're no better than a Black person, you fricking animal.
>Elendil
we have no idea who will play him
It just looks like GOT. It's Over.
lol they really did just black it for billions. Fricking israelites are mentally ill.
GOT didn't randomly black characters but a few minor ones that made geographical sense this is just straight israeli diarrhea
damn those costumes are tacky
Im liking the costumes but if I were to slightly nitpick its they do not seem fantasy enough. More realistic and based more heavily on history than fantasy.
Also the gold, the rich embroided clothing, the relief in the background of OP pic scream Rome too much.
Tolkien has always been grounded more in history and myth then moronic fantasy, dumbass. Armor and clothing should look practical and also reflect the values and history of the culture wearing it. Sorry you want giant warhammer onions pauldrons and neon green orcs lol.
1. learn to read, it is a nitpick
2. because I state one thing does not mean I support the polar opposite of that
you are quick to judge.
I've always thought of Numenor as closer to Rome/Greece, especially with the Atlantis parallels.
They are kind of like an amalgamation of the super powers of history, some Egyptian and British empire inspiration too
Not a single attractive woman in this picture.
Attractive women are banned now, gramps
Looks like DoA, my filters are ready.
Why the frick are there always like 6 ugly women in every single shot in modern tv. It looks like a college club.
is the ugly girl on the right wearing a wig? are they so desperate for hideous extras they have to get people with inappropriate hair styles and put a shitty looking wig on them?
Why are the numenorians wearing greek scrolls??
>Ar-Pharazôn, also known as Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, was the twenty-fifth and last King of Númenor. Of all the Kings of Númenor, he wielded the most power, but used it most unwisely; his desire for eternal life caused the destruction of Númenor and the Change of the World.
OY VEY THIS CHARACTER MUST BE WHITE FOR SOME REASON
Looks like a multiculti hell hole. You got whites, blacks, browns, poos, only thing missing is the squint eyes.
There's literally one non white person in that pic chud. Unless you can specifically point out the rest.
Will this be the wheels of time of our generation
>another Black person on the left
>queen
what?!?
Númenor didnt have the female privillige bullshit
>Ar-Pharazon
Ar means king, how can he be Ar-Pharazon if he's not one?
>how can he be Ar-Pharazon
He's not, he's just Pharazon. He is basically Tar-Miriels top advisor who is queen regent so Tar-Palantir is probably being a useless sick old man somewhere
No nooot Tar-Miriel.
Female empowerment in 2nd age is the main narrative.
Is that what I think it is on top of that nag?
>can I copy your homework?
Bro. Honestly, who the frick cares?
>just accept it bro, it's okay that their ruining these literary works steeped in generations of European folklore and history. Its okay that they're tying to destroy European culture and people. Who cares bro
Please off yourself troony
lol nobody is going to watch this show and the only people I see talking about are mindrotted autists on Cinemaphile who whine about the diversity hires (such as yourself)
you lost this argument because I'm going to close the thread with the last word by the way
>prequel to LoTR
>literature
Also you could make a good argument that the very idea of a pan european culture is an attack on european cultures. Unless you're going to tell me that Portugese folk lore is practically the same form Swedish traditions because they're both nominally christian and have indo european ancestry. I'm sure that irish folklore is the same as greek folklore too.
What can you even do besides not watch it?
The world isn't closed off. Western culture incorporates all types of culture now
So then why aren't we making stories about non western folklore? Why are we ruining western cultural lynchpins instead?
Because its not incorporation, its destruction.
He is right, you should off yourself.
Frick off moron.
Your argument for why it shouldn't be this way amounts to "I don't like seeing different races in media". Doesn't matter how much mental gymnastics you have to tell yourself
No, it's "I don't like seeing a piece of work I love getting raped thanks to american politics".
Britain is projected at 55% white for 2050 with current trends
Wrong Black personhomosexual. Some of my favourite films came out of Hong Kong during the 1980s. Not a single white person to be seen in them.
You know why I liked them? They were their stories. Their films. Their culture.
This is OUR culture. Tolkien is THE Anglo myth. Stop appropriating it you filthy racist
And your argument amounts to 'frick white people and telling a good story.'
Mutts truly are a blight on the world
it's not mutts that are forcing it, it's der juden using them as a tool. I'm not white and I'm over the bullshit too.
>Western culture incorporates all types of culture now
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
If it's so unimportant why are they doing it? Why not just make a good adaptation instead of a shitty one?
How do you know it's bad? Just because one of the characters is mixed? They're literally just baiting you into rage. It's complete agitprop to frick with cringelords like you.
>1
Black person have you seen all of the pictures with black hobbits and dwarfs? this looks like shit
Apparently, the presence of minorities makes sense but I'm not sure if this guy is a shill trying to stir up hope
>Apparently, the presence of minorities makes sense
it doesn't, you dumb homosexual
It would if they were as depicted in the Books allies of Sauron and not minorities but a vast empire of the South. Who cares like I say I will never watch an episode of this and no real Tolkien enthusiast will
I am privy to *some* 2nd hand insider info but I haven't heard those details regarding the elf's parents, but it is noticeable that there doesn't seem to be any others of his likeness around.
What this anon says about the elf concentration camps it accurate though.
Share the other information you've gathered
The hobbit thing makes 0 sense. and what they're going to start sticking random black characters into the story for no rhyme or reason and it's okay because they just say "they're from the black region"? just seems like contrived diversity bullshit, I'd rather just not watch this than watch it and be disappointed that it's exactly what it looks like
sounds like hes on the payroll
This is fricking dumb too, elves were turned into orcs far in the first age and doesnt this happen in the second age?
>elves were turned into orcs far in the first age and doesnt this happen in the second age?
Not 2nd age, it will be part of a prologue
It doesn't, that's the shill that have been spamming this shit for a year
>forced diversity
If you can't even get the cast right, then the rest has no chance.
Has a show with forced diversity ever been good? What does make you think this will be any different, lmao.
>If you can't even get the cast right, then the rest has no chance.
Kek this.
yep. It is a basic concept yet most Hollywood still don't understand this.
>How do you know it is bad?
>literally
>it is agitprop
Shills cant into logic
>agitprop to frick with cringelords
but why? what is the end goal of such an action?
If you are literally picking the wrong cast that is the easiest part you are going to frick even more in other departments
>Honestly, who the frick cares?
you should care about it, tr00n

I have invested in seeing it fail, as have many others. The release when it fails will be orgasmic. However if it somehow succeeds I will be disappointed. It's a sort of personal gamble, a fun game.
You can hedge it by knowing all digital viewership numbers are completely fictional.
I care because I despise Black folk and their enablers, and I'll let everybody know it

No, that's the evil white man who steals her throne.
How tf can they be human but have elvish blood? That statement makes no sense to me.
The founder of Numenor was a Half-Elf, and lived for 500 years. Numenorans were much longer lived than regular humans, and the most powerful amongst basically chose to die when they had enough of a life lived.
Ameritards call Obama black even when his mother is white. Same with every other mutt.
What's so hard to understand?
do burgers really?
N
I
I'm not sure this is what Tolkien meant about Black Numenoreans
Numenor WAS multi-ethnic, since they had colonies in Harad AND practised slavery later on.
>Numenor WAS multi-ethnic
Black person what
>Numenor WAS multi-ethnic
multi-cultural*
have a nice day
So now you're claiming Harad was inhabited by whites?
No, I find the fact that they had slavery in Arab lands a very poor defense of the images we've seen, where there are numerous black people dressed as noble Numenoreans, let alone the fact that they shoehorned a Black person into the ruling family
if what you are saying is true (is not) then harad would've been ruled by whites (former slaves) and numenor would still be white
No you fricking moron it wasn't
Is that that b***h Naevia that ruined Spartacus?
She'll ruin Numenor, so I say it's the perfect casting.
>literal black numenorians
a little on the nose
>Elendil is 8' tall and Galadriel 6'4"
>actors are 5 foot nothing
what did they mean by this??
Instead of nitpicks about the casting, what's more of a problem is the "time compression" they're introducing. Now THAT is something that can frick up the story.
did they go back on not using real horses?
Pretty obvious they are not going to make Elendil 7'10
A. Actors who are that tall are lanky & not very attractive
B. If they made them CGI, people would go "REEEEEEEEEEE I HATE CGI I HATE CGI I HATE CGI!!!" like they always do.
They're already fricking ugly
Give me wise queen not shitty show Ciri
Those are some realistic cgi horses
Where did all the money go? The actors are c-list the armor and props while doesn't look completely terrible in this shot have been subpar in others. The set design I would guess is a green screen most of the time. Where did all the money go?
My best guess is they had to create a lot of the infrastructure hollywood has had already established. Studio stuff. Also I think they're getting ripped off to a certain degree due to a lack of experience.
Imagine rebuilding Hollywood from scratch and making it the exact same.
Yeah it's kinda dumb isn't it?
They pocked it. Either that or it's money-laundering.
It looks like a generic fantasy show. I would believe you if you told me it's a new season of the legend of the seeker
Please don;t post this. It's not like people such as me who love Tolkien are going to watch it anyway. WE barely were able to watch Jacksons LOTR largely due to the deliberate casting fo a homosexual as Gandalf which would have greatly saddened a devout Catholic like Tolkien, gave up on the Hobbit movies before the third one in complete disgust and will never ever watch an episode of this ever.
Ian McKellan being gay didn't make Gandalf gay. Idiot.
>Here’s your British mythology bro
>>Here’s your British mythology bro
British mythology is Robin Hood and Arthur which had already begun to be SJW'd with black actors suddenly interjected as 'Saracens' into for example Robin Hood that began in the 90s. The best of the Robin Hoods? Connereys little known Robin and Marian
1976
The only one that even begins to convey the tragedy
Tolkien's world is based on the Irish Norse(old english). It is inspired by Dunsany and Lewis both of whom were Irish, Tolkien would travel to Connemara in Ireland to write the Lord of the Rings as he found the scenery inspirational.
>Tolkien's world is based on the Irish Norse(old english). It is inspired by Dunsany and Lewis both of whom were Irish, Tolkien would travel to Connemara in Ireland to write the Lord of the Rings as he found the scenery inspirational.
He was inspired more by the Finnish Kalevela and Numenor is clearly based on Ancient Persia/Egypt as well and Greco-Roman influences as well
>Numenor
Do look up the tutha de danann, the 'red day' the battle of tara the speech before the battle of clontarf by the aging king...the sidhe etc etc.
>Armenia
Hahaha, FRICK going to Valinor
I did misspeak, it was intended to be an English mythology. He drew from many places but it was all about building a foundation mythology for England.
>I did misspeak, it was intended to be an English mythology. He drew from many places but it was all about building a foundation mythology for England.
No I don't think so, that was kipling and the 'our island race' text kiplings version being puck of pook hill jingoism of empire. Tolkien was above that, his writing was not about England, it was about what it says it was about, someone starting down the road of a journey caught up in great events and finding you can never go back even when you want to. It was not english jingoism, Tolkien was too educated and moral for that. Poor Kipling paid the price for that with wandering looking for the corpse of his son for the remainder of his life
I guess you no better than Tolkien himself.
> "The Shire" is based on rural England and not any other country in the world... The toponymy of The Shire...is a "parody" of that of rural England, in much the same sense as are its inhabitants: they go together and are meant to. After all the book is English, and by an Englishman, and presumably even those who wish its narrative and dialogue turned into an idiom that they understand, will not ask of a translator that he should deliberately attempt to destroy the local colour.
You're the only person here whining about jingoism. This is not English imperial jingoism, it's a mythology for England.
Again I refer you to Kipling, our island race and puck of pook hill, Tolkiens LOTR has nothing whatsoever to do with inventing a mythology for England.
>Kipling had X motivation for his writing so Tolkein couldn't have had Y motivation he had to have Z motivation!
Do you understand how stupid this argument is?
Given that you just threw out an idea and I understand it and that's fine but you did not actually know about our island race the text book or puck of book hill or the tudor use of propaganda in relation to shake spear, authur etc etc that that 'english mythology' including material such as Robin Hood etc was well establish and NOTHING TO DO with Tolkien whos books contain nothing relating to English mythology a great deal to do with Ireland and Scandinavia though
>he didn't directly reference King Arthur so he couldn't have been trying to create an English mythology! Checkmate! Also I'm going to keep reeeing about Kipling and imperialism for some reason!
I think some anon already posted his own words on this matter. I don't think this is some kind of hidden knowledge, and frankly I think you know that you're wrong here anyway which is why you keep trying to divert the topic to completely unrelated things like le ebil imperialist Kipling or the...Tudors? I don't know what you think you're getting at, but I'll take Tolkein's own words over your aimless rambling
why are you so racist, like literally what's wrong with you?
>Tolkiens LOTR has nothing whatsoever to do with inventing a mythology for England.
You Marxist shitbag. Crawl back into the hole you crawled out of.
>destabilizing cishetero amatonormativity in the works of Tolkien

In his letters he is refering to work such as the green knight. I give up. You don;t even have the book of letters, I do, I did 20 years ago
i wish killing commies with no repercussions was still legal
>Tolkien was above that, his writing was not about England,
Spare us, you fricking pompous windbag. Tolkien didn't specifcially state outright he was writing English mythology, but he lamented to his friends and peers that anything before the Vikings and Romans had been lost to history, and that mythology after that was a patchwork of mythos from the continent.
This. We have myths of dragons and unicorns etc for a reason. From the Tuatha de Danann to the Druids, the isles were known as the magical isles.
The Tuatha are Irish mythology. They are in no way connected to Pre-Roman mythology in what became Britain, and much of the mythology of the Tuatha is filtered by Christian medeival monks. I get you're very excited about knowing about it, but it has no connection in any way, and there is no archealogical evidence that such mythology spread from Ireland to the early Britons. None.
Druids are more complicated - what most people think are druids are either the fantastical rubbish Christian monks made up about them in the medieval era, or were political leaders in Gaul. They shared a name but the differences between irish druids and gaulish druids were completely different, and the druids in Gaul were not mythological, they existed when Rome first started it's exploration and conquest of western Europe. Even Julius Caesar wrote about them.
You seem to be under the sad misperception that the British Isles shared common mythology and pagan worship, and you couldn't be more wrong - and Tolkien was focused on creating a mythology of what became Britain - Irish folklore survived, and we know of the Tuatha (or, a lot of monk drivem malarky) because the Romans and Vikings didn't conquer and take over Ireland. Romans didn't even try, and the viking raids came close but they never conquered and settled and drove out the existing irish culture.
Read more books. The Tuata and Irish mythology is great stuff - but stop including it in the mythology of Britain, because it never spread there.
>Irish Norse(old english)
It's not sjw if they have a backstory. Morgan Freeman's presence made sense in the context of the story. He was the only black person in the entire movie and other characters commented his race as remarkable in the context, 'the painted man', 'did god paint you', 'what manner of name is azim'. None of that was immersion breaking and would be considered racist by sjws.
No explanation will be given for why the full white Ar Pharazon's cousin is full black, why there are black elves, how dwarves and hobbits maintain distinct races in isolated communities. It's immersion breaking and a blatant attack on white people and Tolkein.
Morfy my love....

Where do you think GRRM got most of his ideas from?
Ever thought why he gave the people who thought themselves genetically superior to the rest the name of Tar-garyen ?
That makes it even worse. LotR should look like high-fantasy not "Gondor's tax policy" garbage.
>Where do you think GRRM got most of his ideas from?
from The Accursed Kings by Druon
>why he gave the people who thought themselves genetically superior to the rest the name of Tar-garyen ?
because it was a homage to Melniboneans of Moorwiener
Not everything is about you Tolkientard
>uhm no atchually the numenorean kings calling themselves tar- has nothing to do with the tar-garyen
haha yeah, just pure coincidence
We know that GRRM comes up with all his own ideas, never steals from anybody 🙂

unlike Tolkien who shamelessly ripped off kalevela? Tolkientards have very inflated ego.
Your reddit image does not even make sense. It's too try hard and reaching by buttblasted tolkineturd.
>kalevela
Oh he was very upfront about the story of Turin Turambar being his attempt to retell a story from the finnish kalevala for an contemporary/Anglo audience. That was just one small story in a whole legendarium though
At least he didn't try to wholesale pass off other peoples work and entire portions of rl history as his own primary creation though
I like it, what's the actual problem?
idk people just like to pick these things apart I guess
Numenor influenced by multiple ancient powers of history, they are also big colonialists. I think in general they are going for a fish scale and horse aesthetic as they are great horse lovers and explorers
The frick is this supposed to be exactly?
It looks like a college production of Shakespeare's Coriolanus.
>it's over
It never really begun for this series. Everyone knew from the getgo the writers were feminist political hacks, it never stood a chance. I've no intention of ever watching it, and on the bright side it isn't the Simarillion. Just some shit age where they got the rings
Tar-Miriel is 'queen regent', so her father (Tar-Palantir) is still around and is the actual ruler of Numenor, he's probably sick/bedbound and she does most of the day to day stuff for him
Any idea who's playing her father? The actress is a mulatto so i imagine her father is either a white guy who fell in love with a black woman or the other way around.
>Any idea who's playing her father?
No that's still uncertain so indicates a pretty small role since it hasn't been leaked but I would put money on it being an old white guy
They had more freedom with the casting of tar-Miriel since her mother is unknown in the books
Why are there Black folk everywhere
because Amazon is making it
Straight to streaming platform bingo, every time there's a worldbuilding scene that's not directly furthering the plot, fill it with Black folk
>every time there's a worldbuilding scene that's not directly furthering the plot, fill it with Black folk
reminds me of when Peter Jackson put a bunch of black hobbits standing around in Lake Town and none of them are actual characters
I thought they werent using real horses
They used alot of horses, there were multiple serious injuries to the stunt crew during filming
CG horses were used occasionally, but only for the really dangerous stuff.
So wtf was that article about PETA
Bait anon, it was a bait
The amount of CG horses used was similar to GOT, like in Battle of the Bastards (pic rel) there are alot of CG horses because they are clattering them into each other
If you see them doing anything other than engage in combat its likely a real horse
Why do the costume designs look cheapish? It looks like foam painted. Better than some GOT but it doesnt give off the genuine vibe.

I'm assuming the stuff about no real horses was fake news?
That horse is very unhappy and neglected.
They mostly used real horses, they occasionally used CG horses in some of the more dangerous action scenes similar to how GoT did in Battle of the Bastards for eg
They actually had multiple stunt riders suffer serious injuries while filming s1, big compo payouts

What did he mean by this?
She’s just incredibly average. Nothing wrong with that, but the idea of films and television is usually to go a little beyond the norm. Particularly when the subject is an elf renowned for her beauty.
Not even a bit translucent. Frick off, did they learn nothing from game of thrones?
Even when wet you can't see much, a shame
the rain obscures it here, but do you we'll be able to see perky nipples?
Elven padded bras. Wouldn’t want the very epitome of beauty to be attractive in anyway, might make the producers jealous.
Considering they have some people on production staff that worked on GoT, absolutely not, they learned absolutely nothing.

Wait, is that dude an elf? that's Celeborn? that's the least ethereal, regal, outwordly pose and looks you could pic for an elf
He's not an elf, some human roguish figure she ends up shipwrecked with... somehow
Maybe he ends up being Sauron or something dumb, idk
imagine how differently she would be received if they opened with this rather than the yoga pants armor
Wait.. Didn't they say they weren't using real horses?
Your bar is too low anon. It is ok to dislike things.
She looks older than current day Cate Blanchett.
Look at her strained face, as if the sea itself was made of shit. Look at her neck. Just take a good look at her. If this wasn't set in Tolkien's universe everyone would think she's just some random peasant, not an elven goddess.
Even the horse looks like shit.
It's a beautiful horse you pleb
White horses with pale eyes are fricking ugly, shit taste-kun.
>white horses are ugly
(you)
I didn't say that, moron-kun.
The horse would look cool if it didn't have those ugly ass tassels dangling across its front
Tar-Miriel was the crazy one with the cats, right?
No that's Berúthiel, she was an actual Black Numenorean and Queen of Gondor in the 3rd age
the creases in the metal on her left shoulder are sticking out to me, does it look like a piece of cloth with a graphic printed all over it to anyone else?
The lord of the rings' cast was so perfect that it even hurts. The hobbits were all man children looking actors, the elves all had that attractive but at the same time weird/ayys looking people, Viggo Mortensen looks like a fricking king and Theoden was just perfect. We will never have something like the fellowship again. I'm tired of this gay earth
>The world is changed.

that's a prop horse?
Well, frick, it's Worst Naevia.
s1 villain
>Casr great charismatic actor
>Not make him Ar-Pharazpn or Sauron in Disguise or Elendil
>Make hims so OC cheap villain instead
Ill torrent that shit or just watch webms here.
Who's that?
OG Donut steel
Dark/corrupted elf called Adar
OC s1 villain
>Dark/corrupted elf called Adar
What a mess.
Dark elves are a thing but I think they are going with a version of corruption where he's literally part transforming into an orc, with it visible on the other side of his face/neck from what you can see in the promo pic
Which, yeah, would be something new
moronic, should have just had a maiar take the shape of an Orc.
>Dark elves are a thing
In Tolkien? You mean the Moriquendi?
I meant evil elves, or elves that can commit acts of evil
Eöl was referred to as the dark elf, Maeglin was similar
>Eöl was referred to as the dark elf,
I always took that as a specific nickname. Anyway, obviously Elves are able to comit evil, they do it all the time in the Silmarillion.
Dark elves aren't corrupted, they're just the ones who didn't see the light of the trees. Legolas is a dark elf
So article confirms Anarion is in the show, just offscreen at the start. Maybe he will be a s2 character
If I was the SyFy Channel I'd be furious and be suing Amazon as soon as possible. I hope it doesn't look like these photos and they're just used for promotional advertising. The series better not look like this when actually watch it. It's just cosplay poorly done cosplay. We haven't heard a lick of dialogue have we? That'll be a key moment too.
I like how there are Black folk and mutts, but in LotR there are only white people left.
Its good and its progressive.
>Director Wayne Che Yip speaks with Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Trystan Gravelle on the set of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.'
is it the israelites or the chinese that are behind this raping of tolkien?
Why can't people working in show business have normal names?
Normal names?
Don't watch it. Don't talk about it. Ignore it.
I'm going to watch it and so are you
I'm going to pirate it and skip the scenes with black people. Should be a comfy give minute watch.
Pharazons hair and beard are his own btw, they tried to use the actors real hair wherever possible
Isildurs is too although Elendil is in a wig
Fairer than silver or ivory or pearls.
AND THEY TAKE A Black person HAHAHAHAHAHHA HOLY FRICK THIS SHIT IS GONNA BE SEASON 8 GOT TIER DUMPSTER FIRE HAHAHAHHA. MUH REPRESENTATION!!!
Pre lotr Peter Jacksson
Black folk and mutts
Lotr Peter Jacksson
Only whites
BASED WORLD, FRICKING CLEANSED THE WORLD POGGIES.
Why y'all acting like the casting in this show is even similar to like The Witcher or WoT?
It's token tier
>horse looking directly at the camera
Who the heck hired that pony?
Númenor is based on the mythical Atlantis. I imagine this series will be straight up heretical.
Again: I will never watch or acknowledge its existence, therefore I win 😉
You just did acknowledge its existence though
Will Eru Illuvatar make an appearance, pic very much related. I can't way stream piggy xisters.
So when I search Míriel online for Feanor's mother, I'm going to be bombarded with screen shots from ROP(e)'s ugly negress.
Isildur
Did they hire whoever made the black wiener suits for the Witcher?
looks like the scale armour in mount and blade that i have to download higher res textures for
Blacks all turn to orcs right ? I never saw an actually blacky in the original LOTR trilogy. I wonder what the lore is
>Black
>Not even a Pajeeta, Chang or spic
Nobody likes Black folk.
This shit was always going to be a trainwreck, even if the script was 100% faithful and there was no wokeshit because there just aren't enough ethereally beautiful people with acting talent to fill the roles.
We're talking 12/10 gods and goddesses here. The ones busy taking oil sheik dick for 100 million dollars a cumshot.
They're really doubling down on a very colorful and bright palette of colors for clothing and armors I hope it works. Lord of the rings kept to earthy tones and pastels that kept it grounded gave it a sense of believability. A lot of the art I like sticks to dark colors and lets the characters fair skin stand out.
Those costumes look like utter shit. Even the Hobbit was more creative with how Dale people looked
This show looks so fricking bad. I usually avoid trailers/images to "take it all in", but this show is a fricking creative trainwreck just waiting to flop.
i haven't seen even a second of any of the trailers, other than what gets posted as webbems here. i won't be watching this gay Black person tv show. i'll just re-read the books instead. your marketing strategy is failing amazon. also: Black person Black person Black person Black person Black person Black person
>Ma kween
HAHAHA.
Tar-Míriel should have been the Ruling Queen, but her throne was usurped by her cousin, Ar-Pharazôn, who married her against her will and gave her the name Ar-Zimraphel (as Ruling Queen, she would have preferred the Quenya Tar- and been Tar-Míriel). When Eru sank Númenor, Míriel attempted to ascend Meneltarma, but drowned before reaching the summit.
stop quoting the pozzed wiki you gayget, Númenor had kings not yasquueeens
Her cousin should've just fricked her to be quite tbh with you.
>The world is very different now than it was 10 years ago when Game of Thrones started. It's different than 20 years ago when Peter Jackson made The Lord of the Rings. These types of stories need to be more inclusive than they traditionally have been," Condal tells EW on the set of House of the Dragon in December. "It was very important for Miguel and I to create a show that was not another bunch of white people on the screen, just to put it very bluntly."
>Born as Miguel Vicente Rosenberg-Sapochnik in London, England
>He is israeli.[12]
imagine my shock
I hate america
I'm tired of pretending that this show wont be atleast pretty good
Moorwiener also ripped-off the Kalevala.
