None of them look compelling. It’s crazy how some actors just “have that look” and you can’t put your finger on why that is. These all look like regular joes at a renaissance fair.
When I watched the first LOTR trailer in the cinema (yes, I am old).
It took me a few scenes before I realised. "Hey this is that book I stopped reading"
>hate-watchers.
There's also the "Simpsons watchers" types who feel the need to keep going out of habit even they know the show's turned to shit a long time ago, but can't help it. They're stuck in a programming, and can't snap out of it because it's safe and comfortable even though they always end up disdappointed these day.
you know what would really be cringe?
millions hatewatching the premier and generating enough viewership attention that normies confused it for actual popularity and start watching the show unironically to get onboard.
then the show being so successful that it gets 10+ seasons and countless spinoffs and imitators
Their defense is "SAURON IS A SHAPE-SHIFTER IN THE BOOKS SO HE CAN LOOK LIKE ANYONE!"
Well if his goal is to blend in with humans in Amazon's version of LOTR, then shouldn't he take the form of a Pajeet or black guy?
Yeah bullshit. They just wanted to continue the Hollywood trope of "diversity versus the blue-eye white man." And is just another excuse why I won't bother with this shit.
Yes, the first humans in middle-earth were white, they were created in the first age and were distinguished in three different houses: House of Hador, Bëor, and Haleth
House Bëor can be traced directly to the Numenoreans, while House Hador can be traced to the Rohirrim
>going back to the source material, the world is diverse, not only in face
The races being men, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc, not "white hobbit, black hobbit, puerto rican hobbit, chinese hobbit"
I love how in LOTR slim shady and Slavs exist apparently. You morons realize things in our world don’t exist in the fantasy world of Tolkien right? They don’t have to look “fantasy” to your moronic eye
ah okay so its completely fine then if sauron looks like a praying mantis with a red t shirt and squid legs and has penises for fingers and sounds like tony soprano? because, you know, its all fantasy anyways so he might as well look like that. its just as valid right?
It takes a lot of courage to work the obvious Putin analogy into Sauron's role. This is how it should be done, a timeless story but not divorced from the issues and struggles of our contemporary world.
so will this be so bad it will just be forgotten about and then spammed with nobody cares like euphoria
or will it be decent enough to where we will all watch to laugh at it?
will this tv series make the normalgay money flow?
hard to tell. there has been a lot of backlash against this online, but you can never underestimate how low consoomers will sink. like, i wouldn't bet on this either being successful or otherwise. i will say, it probably won't be as successful as amazon was hoping, at least.

It will be unwatchable mainly because of the writing and ugly, uncharismatic cast and force normies to switch off like the witcher or wot.

>force normies to switch off like the witcher or wot.
Literally two of the most popular shows on Netflix and Prime kek
Depends. I think even normies will be appalled at how bad it is. I reckon that due to the vast marketing campaign you'd see talk of "record breaking ratings" and what not for the first 2 episodes and then silence. Of course, they'll greenlit a second a third season because israelites cannot be seen to have failed, but tihs is gonna be a Wheel of Time and Witcher 2.0.
Makes sense, Slavs are dysgenic elves
no they made Sauron a handsome white man
halbrand is celebrimor
That's a woman.
>White skin, blue eyes, blonde hair
What is not to love?
This is what we wanted
that's not sauron it's that "raised by wolves" show people keep posting
>ya'll act like you've never seen a Maiar before
>jaws all on the floor
>like Tulkas and Melkor just burst in the door

you put my idea into words ty anon
GUESS WHOS BACK
BACK AGAIN
MELKORS BACK
TELL SAUR'N
This is why I come to this place.
guess whos back
back again
Apparently it's some Melkor cultist
Still not watching it, but please, do continue seething.
It's amazing how none of the women look like remotely compelling characters.

could you honestly even tell this was lord of the rings if it wasn't for the "Lord of the Rings" caption?
Wtf do you even mean by this?
anon means they look like morons wearing costumes, not characters from Tolkien's world
>wearing costumes
That's because they are...
When I watched the first LOTR trailer in the cinema (yes, I am old).
It took me a few scenes before I realised. "Hey this is that book I stopped reading"
no but then again unless it's a fricking John howe painting very little stuff looks typical of LOTR
if you had told me this was a GoT spin off I'd have believed it
I just hope you have a plan and don't take 10 years to do 8 seasons Amazon
This is literally the same marketing plan they used for Wheel of Time
and it's going to be the same quality show too.
The new trailer really hid how badly it was pozzed. Seeing all the posters now, the illusion fades.
>The new trailer really hid how badly it was pozzed
What? The new trailer included pretty much all the non white characters kek
If you told me this was Lord of the Rings, I would not believe you. This looks like some medieval times series written by some other writer.
come on dude
why do these people look strange, theres something off about all of them
>most expensive show ever made
>cast comprised ENTIRELY of literal who's
Where did all this money go?
Looks like a slav in a gender queer fashion show. Absolutely disgusting.
Obviously not Sauron
and why can't sauron be a woman?
Well yeah, it's Annatar.
Annatar, the last air bender
Nah, that's not Sauron. Sauron is supposed to be a prettyboy chad
This is supposedly an actress
It is
>ayo deez rangz be straight bussin' fr fr no cap on Eru.
I really hope you are posting this ironically because this is peak cringe
there's like several dogshit shows that are kept alive by hate-watchers.
>hate-watchers.

That doesn't make your image any less cringy
you know what would really be cringe?
millions hatewatching the premier and generating enough viewership attention that normies confused it for actual popularity and start watching the show unironically to get onboard.
then the show being so successful that it gets 10+ seasons and countless spinoffs and imitators
you are peak cringe
why would you even reveal anything?
don't audiences like to be surprised anymore?
slavs are evil and more if they look like a troony, based bezos
Their defense is "SAURON IS A SHAPE-SHIFTER IN THE BOOKS SO HE CAN LOOK LIKE ANYONE!"
Well if his goal is to blend in with humans in Amazon's version of LOTR, then shouldn't he take the form of a Pajeet or black guy?
Yeah bullshit. They just wanted to continue the Hollywood trope of "diversity versus the blue-eye white man." And is just another excuse why I won't bother with this shit.
you'd actually be seething harder if they made Sauron black
>Pajeet
Why are incels so obsessed with this word?
>when somethings in your mitochondrial cause it latched on to you like
>KNOCK KNOCK
>PUT THE RING ON
How could anyone resist the will of Sauron, lord of the earth.
May he have your attention please!
Will the real Ring-bearers please stand up!
isn't sauron supposed to looke like pete steele
Did White Humans exist in Middle Earth before the arrival of the fleeing Numenoreans or are these Melkor cultists just Numenoreans themselves?
Think so, I don't think Rohan are related to the Numenoreans.
Yes, the first humans in middle-earth were white, they were created in the first age and were distinguished in three different houses: House of Hador, Bëor, and Haleth
House Bëor can be traced directly to the Numenoreans, while House Hador can be traced to the Rohirrim
Sauron, you're a cheat. You're a disgrace
I cant believe the Ricecel glowed up enough to get a role in a tv series
get educated
He has a point in terms of going back to the text tbh, Jackson whitewashed Rohan and Gondor
The blacks, browns, and asians were the Easterlings, Haradrim, and Shen. Not this shit.
He doesn't have a single fricking point you fricking Black person. Read the fricking books
>going back to the source material, the world is diverse, not only in face
The races being men, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc, not "white hobbit, black hobbit, puerto rican hobbit, chinese hobbit"
then why is Wakanda 100% black? Time to bring some diversity there.
>we want to see this world represented in a fantasy world
Yikes.
This is what every show will be about as long as the current regime is in charge
I love how in LOTR slim shady and Slavs exist apparently. You morons realize things in our world don’t exist in the fantasy world of Tolkien right? They don’t have to look “fantasy” to your moronic eye
He thinks he's so clever
ah okay so its completely fine then if sauron looks like a praying mantis with a red t shirt and squid legs and has penises for fingers and sounds like tony soprano? because, you know, its all fantasy anyways so he might as well look like that. its just as valid right?
Is it Sauron? He looks to spooky
I have been seriously considering giving this show a shot (I am a Morfgay I cannot lie) but they really are taking the fricking piss now.
That's not Sauron
It's a Morgoth cultist, Sauron will have others working for him or with him at least
I don't care who it is, it's a butt ugly inbred and looks like a troon.
>butt ugly inbred and looks like a troon.
So you're angry because they made an evil character look like an ugly troon?
>Sauron
>Anar the corrupted elf
which is it god damnit
Why is Eminem in LotR?
why does this look like a weird spin off of either of GoT or Rome?
Because they want to make money
honestly it looks like it falls short of both of those in production quality
Don't you fricking dare bring up Rome when discussing this shit heap
NOOOO NOT A WHITE ACTOR AHHHHH SAVE ME NETFLIX
It takes a lot of courage to work the obvious Putin analogy into Sauron's role. This is how it should be done, a timeless story but not divorced from the issues and struggles of our contemporary world.
so will this be so bad it will just be forgotten about and then spammed with nobody cares like euphoria
or will it be decent enough to where we will all watch to laugh at it?
How the frick is anybody meant to know?
im just asking, no need to be rude
im just gonna look at the tv threads
Do not watch it, Even watching it gives the people who made this garbage money
>shut in has no idea how popular euphoria was
yeah popular with normies who watched it and spammed it on tiktok and now have forgotten about it. overall it is nothingness. and im not a shut in.
>popular with normies
So the only demographic that matters? Do you think Cinemaphile is a good measure of a show's success?
Lets be honest, will this tv series make the normalgay money flow? Yes or No?
That's really what they are going for and so the only metric for their success.
will this tv series make the normalgay money flow?

Despite only making up 13% of the population, Black folk commit 50% of all crimes
No, chud. This is just a meme you read and fell for.
blond people are LE EVIL!
bravo israelite, bravo
>why, hello there, weird looking edgy teenager, you seem like someone I could trust with my incredibly powerful arcane knowledge!

yeah yeah
