>"As for how many people need to watch Lord of the Rings? A lot. (Laughs.) A giant, global audience needs to show up to it as appointment television, and we are pretty confident that that will happen,"
It's being made by people who don't understand the original series and would actively fight against it if they did.
The paranoid thing here is though, if the mega-studios today are so risk averse, why do they dump so much money at a single project like that? Its like they stuck with one popular thing and then decided to go all out, because its popular with no regards to scale. These studio execs are complete fricking morons, completely detached from reality.
Because it's not studios dumping the money, it's Amazon and Jeff Bezos, who have more money than they know what to do with and can write it off their taxes if it fails.
buy right to IP and ignore the lore and aesthetics of the IP to create your own story "adapted to modern audiences".
look at the wheel of time, instantly pissed off fans by ignoring the story almost entirely and the aesthetic. it was a shitty show to boot. do you think they were risk adverse?
it's typical incompetent woke middle aged managers thinking that tv shows are like any other product that can be managed by appealing to the masses with token gestures and social media campaigns. They simply don't understand that media is not like a can of pringles, it needs a human connection, it needs soul.
The reason companies are doing what would normally be a poor business decision is because they are trying to keep a high ESG score so they can get more investors. They make their money from the investors. This is the same with most massive companies these days and the reason why Netflix was pumping garbage for years until they realised no one is using their platform anymore
I saw this at my old job (different media industry) and I think it comes down to one thing: Execs like big numbers but they can't add. >Creator: Hey, let's make this good little movie. It'll probably only make $10 mil, but we can make it for $2 mil. >Exec: No, frick you and your stupid pocket change. We're going to make a movie that makes $500 mil. It'll cost us $200 mil to make, but it'll be worth it. >C: But that's a huge risk. If it fails, we'll be out $200 mil. >E: No! If Avatar made a billion dollars, then we have to make at least half a billion, or what's the point? >C: Well how about we make 50 smaller movies? As long as we don't go over budget, we'll make a tidy reliable profit all year long. It's not like there's a shortage of scripts, directors, or wannabe actors. We might even get lucky with a sleeper hit, or discover some big actor before they blow up! >E: You idiot, can't you count? $10 mil x 50 isn't even close to $500 mil! >C: Okay, well, how about this: We'll make separate movies, but they'll be connected in some kind of "cinematic universe". That way we can experiment while still synergizing with our other successes. >E: Hmm. I like it. It'll be like one giant MEGA MOVIE. Yeah, that's great. >C: Okay, great. >E: We'll start by putting $100 mil behind each one, and if any of them flounder then we'll pull the plug on the whole operation. >C: *sigh*
they are putting Galadriel front and center and she seems to be the only good character in all the trailers. She still looks like a normie college woman though.
Everything else about these trailers looks terrible.
What on earth is it even about, who is the enemy? Why not show any of the orcs or Melkor?
There is literally no purpose for this show so far.
from very far away running over a bridge for 2 sec where we cant tell how they will look. If the orcs looked any good they'd show them in the trailers constantly.

is there some kind of standing order in casting Unions to only take on 6/10s across the board? we've been doing this shit since Game of Thrones. Less Frumps more Humps.
not saying ALL of them, simp-leton, but the fact of the matter is there's good looking people out there with just as much talent (read: none at all) as the ugly, fetal alcohol syndrome-ridden ensemble in the OP
they want the female audience and women become irrationally angry when they see extremely pretty girls on screen. they will refuse to watch and guilt-trip their men into not watching as well. it's a well-known phenomenon. this is why newscasters etc are never TOO hot even though it would be trivial to find a 10/10 that can read off a teleprompter. once a movie/show is targeting female viewers nothing above a 7/10 will ever be allowed to appear on screen.
a lot of very attractive people end up also being very nice because they've been the target of so much jealousy they had to train themselves to be super pleasant and humble at all times to mitigate the hostility their peers feel towards them by default.
It's not that. NPC defaults are pretty close to max ego. I feel bad for 10/10s because people look at them as pseudo mythic archetypes and they tend to get raped, murdered, and sacrificed a lot.
The only reason you pity 10/10s, is that they reached their mid-20s and they had everything: the best boy/girlfriends; the best friends; the best fun. Then they didn't do much to improve themselves other than that so they tend to remain brainlet.

Anons here are going to think this is incel MGTOW nonsense because it sounds insane but it's 100% true. Because women are insane by default, not exception.

When women get into positions of power, they intentionally keep attractive women out of the group because they feel threatened by them, despite the fact that their husbands are not present and will not be tempted by them. It's simply a function of the female brain.
Welcome to the new normal. They can't be too pretty because that would upset someone. Everything has to be average, exactly in the middle, everything. That way no one wins.
What a brilliant way to get women to be prostitutes. It used to be, you could go to the cinema to see all the top hotties of the day, and those hotties monopolized all the attention. Now dudes can't get their boob-ogling fix at the movies. Which opens the door for any 7/10 half-asian girl to put on a tank top and cat ear headphones and stream herself playing the latest Assassin's Creed and make $10k a month.
He has a tall, human form. But he cannot regenerate, so he only has nine fingers left.
The opening of Hacksons film where Isildur literally chops his fingers off because Sauron trie to grab him is also hysterically bad. He literally lost because he reached out with his hand
It's bad but it can't be worse than Hacksons butchering of the source material >duuude what if sauron is a literal flaming eye on top of barad dur
"Far off the shadows of Sauron hung; but torn by some gust of wind out of the world, or else moved by some great disquiet within, the mantling clouds swirled, and for a moment drew aside; and then he saw, rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr. One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye; and then the shadows were furled again and the terrible vision was removed."
Even in the books, it is a literal flaming eye, only it’s not always visible.
So far from the adverts and the news, it's making all the same mistakes as the Hobbit did, and I have zero faith in modern writing. I give way less than 50% chance of being good.
So in the books, was Galadrel meant to be a rough tomboy warrior in her younger years? I only know her from the films as extremely powerful but at the same time the epitome of feminine grace and beauty.
Galadriel in the Tolkien notes had various contradictory origin stories. He loved her but couldnt settle for a precise backstory
In one of the possible backstories he tought that were found by his son Christopher, Galadriel had an "edgy teenager phase" in previous eras, where he went around as an amazon to try avange what the dark foces did to her eldar tribe (the Noldors. A bunch of light Black person-behaving elves who deserved everything bad happened to them btw)
They cleary took inspiration from this idea found in the notes
Yea obviously, not saying it will but listening to the moronic chickens in here sqwauking autistically about black hobbits and why there shouldn’t be vegetation in Khazad Dum is probably not the best representation of how the show might turn out
I don't get it she's white and gorgeous what are you homosexuals seething about?
don't like shills
don't like coomer shitposters
it might seem smart to adopt their mannerisms, but it just creates more hate
The show might be good but they haven't released anything good yet, except the armorer's work. You have to shill better if you want validation. Morfydd Clark has a great name and looks weird, which is considered a recipe for stardom because she'll attract scum and not threaten women. While Cinemaphile has its share of scum, gross feminist superheroes aren't a selling point for everyone. RoP also has the soft edges, pastels, and framing of a kid's book written by a middle-aged mom. It's not made for Cinemaphile.
They just turned her into another toxic c**t as the go to personality for strong woman who need no man. Fricking hacks. And then they turn around and say "Don't blame us for making her an unlikable mary-sue, that's how Tolkien wrote her!". Disgusting.
how is she not?
is this why ~~*they*~~ put ugly women in films, because they think a mary sue is someone visually attractive? No, it's a question of how the character is treated in-universe. Even the invisible man actress could be a mary sue if written that way
Galadriel's personality prevents her from being a Mary Sue, yes she is amazing in almost all ways possible but she has a darkness to her that most Noldor share, I mean she lusts for power even dominion over people.
That is never presented as a positive trait
wow, she's all the jedi and a little bit of sith as well? epic!

You quoted the wrong post.
i just don't care anymore. i'm numb to the consumption of pop culture. none of it will improve my life. none of it will give me true meaning. none of it will improve my social status. none of it will fatten my wallet. none of it will get me orgasms at the hands/mouths/c**ts of young, attractive women. so it doesn't matter. one way or the other. it's all just to continue the unfathomably decadent lifestyles of a few thousand humans who rolled the right numbers on a genetic and economic lottery.
Actually that's a good point, making Galadriel a bisexual warrior queen must seem like too attractive an option to libs not to take
Guarantee there will be a lesbian kissing scene at some point, I'm willing to put money on it
>If they just make it the Galadriel show
from the looks of it they have. in the books Elron is actually the one who suspects that Sauron might come back while everyone else is calling him paranoid.
But the woke show runners couldn't let a white man be the star of a modern show so know this weird woke take of Galadriel is now Wonder Womaning around (even through she never used a sword or wore armor in the books) while Elron is a weakling and idiot (just like every other white man in the show)
Tolkien: >[Sauron] perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy.
She was Sauron's biggest nuisance until he finished the One Ring and Celebrimbor realized that Sauron had tricked him.
Just look at how little attention this show is getting on Cinemaphile to get an idea of the hype it has going for it. There is 1 thread that was made 7 hours ago with 100 unique posters in it. Then there is this thread, with 27. That's it, a day after their big teaser trailer released 127 people in total decided to talk about this show on Cinemaphile and at least 70% of those posters just wanted to talk shit about it. This show is dead on arrival whether you want to accept it or not.
Google 'Rings of Power SDCC', they are having a huge 1.5h panel in Hall H.
All of this gets announced well in advance so the people paying can plan what they want to go and see. 18 cast members and showrunners will be onstage and im going to take a wild guess they got Stephen Colbert to host the thing. Im betting Howard Shore gets brought out too.
They already started covering some of the nearby hotels with ROP stuff.
>be wearing full plate armor >opponents are either heavily armored orcs or giant monsters >still use a sword instead of a halberd or poleaxe
what an idiot
Yes, there is a chance that it will be good, even under the conditions we've seen. Not a very good chance though. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Honestly I doubt it'll be quite so terrible as the schizoid hyperbolic outrage-addicts on Cinemaphile predict it will be, but I'm also certain it will not by any stretch of the imagination capture the same wonder and beauty that the LOTR films did. Expect PJ's Hobbit quality at best - watchable, possibly even enjoyable, but strictly mediocre.
Aragorn is the tallest of the Fellowship at 6'6", Galadriel is written as towering over him in the chapter Lothlórien, when they first meet, and in The Steward and the King, when Aragorn is properly crowned and wed to Arwen (Galadriel's granddaughter, who she "gives away"). That Galadriel looks like a giantess even against the tall Numenorean blood of Aragorn is significant.
No, Arwen is described as relatively tall for a woman, same as Eowyn, but still shorter than all the other men, again like Eowyn. Maybe 5'10" - 6'. But Galadriel is singled out as being especially tall because she's Noldorin royaltyand there aren't very many of those in Middle-Earth, it marks her out specifically as a being of particularly supernatural provenance, in allusion to the giants/Enakim/Nephilim of the Bible.
Elven women are tall, simply because Elves are taller than men.
But Galadriel is described as tall for an Elven man.
Her mother called her Nerwen which means man-maiden because of that, and not because she was a sword-wielding warrior qween with piss and vinegar like they are trying to cringe her here.
You have bad reading comprehension. I'll do the same thing I do with everything that comes out these days. Laugh at it. Repost the memes. Tear anyone who enjoys it down with ridicule so I can watch them try to defend it and then come around to agreeing a year or two later because they want to fit in. It's all more rewarding than partaking in it ever was.
>Saw WoT butchered before my very eyes >Now I'll probably see it happen with LotR despite telling myself I won't watch it
We went from Burrahobbits to homiehobbits and a far too literal interpretation of a dark elf. >If it's successful (somehow) they'll probably adapt more works >tfw they might actually try to adapt Beren and Luthien
Might actually gouge out my eyes.
The truth us I'm not worried that she's black. The issue is the desire to just blackify a white character and ignore what we all see. Make a character from another land or tribe or something, but don't just interject a random black person and pretend we don't see it. I also with we just had more movies about Africa - history and myth. It would make way more sense if more black on screen is the goal, and there are for sure stories to be told.
If you are a ragingly woke sjw, then yes. For everyone else it's token remake garbage. In truth, most ethnic folks don't even like this shit because it's often not relatable and it feels just as forced to them as well. But it had to be done, they've blacked everything from the Karate Kid to Annie. This too shall pass.
Now I know why I always get very "aggressive" vibes from her. Someone like that shouldn't be Galadriel tbh.

All I know is that there is a massive astroturfing campaign going on with every imbecile on Youtube reacting to this shit, including reaction compilations, shorts and whatnot. Totally organic. Yeah, right.
If you are complaining about marketing already then you might aswell shut yourself off from society for the next two months
It's going to be one of the biggest mass media marketing campaigns of all time. Think about the kind of reach Amazon has, they will use all of it.
Daily reminder Newline Cinema still holds the rights to the movie adaptions, so all props, all music, all sets and locations used in the movies cannot be used in the series.
There is no way in hell this will be a good show, but of course it doesn't have to be. People would eat literal shit if you film it and put it on a streaming service.
>Newline Cinema still holds the rights to the movie adaptions, so all props, all music, all sets and locations used in the movies cannot be used in the series
Newline are literally part of this production
You're right oops my bad. Turns out Amazon only owns the right to The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy. They do NOT own the rights to the Silmarillion though lmao.
>So what did Amazon buy? “We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says. “And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books.”
Yes they existed in the 1st age and some chads came to help the elves in their wars against Morgoth
They will probably show a clip of it in the show as they helped out Galadriels brother in a dire spot and we know he is getting a few flashback scenes
I WANTED SAURON TO WIN

aragorn murdered a diplomat and it's le okay because he is with le good guys and the diplomat was with le bad guys. you're supposed to root for it somehow
frodo should have never survived and he had way too many "close calls" to the point of absurdity. even things that should have been "bad" (smeagol succumbing to madness) are actually good because he just so happens to knock the ring into the lava when frodo got corrupted
i won't even bother with the parallel events happening of the frontlines
humans and elves winning bullshit after bullshit battles
oh what's this one of le good goys died? so tragic... JUST KIDDING LMAO, HE WAS BROUGHT BACK THROUGH DIVINE INTERVENTION! NOW HE IS ALSO STRONGER, MEANING THAT HIS DEATH NEVER WAS A THREAT BUT IN FACT SOMETHING DESIRABLE
moronic ass cavalry charges working. charging through a 4meter wide platform with no momentum? orcs btfo! charging through orcish spear/pike formations? orcs btfo! charging into fricking 50 feet tall mammoths? haradrim btfo!
nothing needs to make sense as long as it leads into a scenario where sauron loses, everything else is just background noise as far as tolkien is concerned
even at the end when sauron dies and his kingdom collapses, the collapse just so conveniently prevents the orcs from attacking the encircled good goys and it just so conveniently narrowly avoids them! wow how convenient! wow so narrow! wow the stakes were so high!
TOLKIEN WAS A FRICKING HACK
GRRM WAS RIGHT

HE DESERVED TO WIN; FRICK YOU IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME
Is this copypasta?
I like playing Mordor/Isengard/Angmar in vidya because it's fun but they are supposed to lose in fixed narratives they are the fricking bad guys.
I agree, I'm not going to let the fact that there's noggits ruin the experience for me. I hope the story is nice & I'm ready for my kino set in middle earth 🙂
Its what they went with for the harfoots
Dwarves have Scottish accents, Elves kind of an upper class English.
I noticed that Elendil had the same south England accent has his actor so maybe that's what they are doing with the Numenoreans
Just watched it and thought it looked pretty good. Am actually interested and will give it a watch. Can't be worse than the worst parts of the hobbit trilogy.
No, looks boring, cheap and without passion, original or otherwise, like most of sci fi and fantasy and media in general now. At this point they are going to make me become a writer and write my own books so that I have something that interests me.
i just don't care anymore. i'm numb to the consumption of pop culture. none of it will improve my life. none of it will give me true meaning. none of it will improve my social status. none of it will fatten my wallet. none of it will get me orgasms at the hands/mouths/c**ts of young, attractive women. so it doesn't matter. one way or the other. it's all just to continue the unfathomably decadent lifestyles of a few thousand humans who rolled the right numbers on a genetic and economic lottery.

Just come out and admit it chuds. It's easier that way
Alternate history doesn't mean illogical history. There is no reality where black people settle in middle earth and either don't die off due to low vitamin d or evolve skin colour. How shit are the shows you watch?
They just played the teaser in the ad break on British TV, prime time, even though we are two months from release.
Amazon are going to spend an absolutely fortune on marketing for this show
They look like CGI, so you're challenged to defend shitty post-processing or shitty CGI
Good luck
Also where's "shapely redhaired"?
Not that I would actually want any of them portrayed in a show where everyone is fricking ugly
Will we ever get a fantasy film that doesn't mix weapons and armor from different periods and make them all plastic. All I want is a setting with early medieval look.
Seeing how much of Cinemaphile is watching the the goys, by seth rogen, I believe much of this thread with watch it. Rightwingers don't have any principles, clearly.
There is a difference between watching and paying. I am sure Amazon will launch an anti-piracy campaign soon after release. Got to control the customer, lest he starts buying what he wants and not what he's told to.
Black folk everywhere, that moron-souding young Ned Stark as Elrond.
At some point, you got a literal white woman fricked by a black elf storyline.
There's no way this is gonna be watchable.
>Rings of power doesn't hold the rights to the Silmarillion, have to make up their own stuff from the appendices >producers collectively don't have an entire season of TV experience under their belt
Let's forget the cynicism, the woke BS and all the "we want to reflect the real world" garbage. Let's pretend the people running the show are lifelong tolkien fans, and WANT to make the best lotr show possible. Even under those circumstances they are severely crippled by not being able to use anything from the Silmarillion and their lack of experience.
Could have just focused on the Hobbit caravan making their way into the shirelands and all the dangers and obstacles they meet on the way. Could fill a few seasons with that. It would be quaint, inoffensive and even heartwarming.
Instead we get warrior galadriel and garbled garbage.

they want the female audience and women become irrationally angry when they see extremely pretty girls on screen. they will refuse to watch and guilt-trip their men into not watching as well. it's a well-known phenomenon. this is why newscasters etc are never TOO hot even though it would be trivial to find a 10/10 that can read off a teleprompter. once a movie/show is targeting female viewers nothing above a 7/10 will ever be allowed to appear on screen.
It's gotta be rough to be a 10/10, literally unapproachable except by people with the highest ego scores.
a lot of very attractive people end up also being very nice because they've been the target of so much jealousy they had to train themselves to be super pleasant and humble at all times to mitigate the hostility their peers feel towards them by default.
The only reason you pity 10/10s, is that they reached their mid-20s and they had everything: the best boy/girlfriends; the best friends; the best fun. Then they didn't do much to improve themselves other than that so they tend to remain brainlet.
It's not that. NPC defaults are pretty close to max ego. I feel bad for 10/10s because people look at them as pseudo mythic archetypes and they tend to get raped, murdered, and sacrificed a lot.
Anons here are going to think this is incel MGTOW nonsense because it sounds insane but it's 100% true. Because women are insane by default, not exception.

When women get into positions of power, they intentionally keep attractive women out of the group because they feel threatened by them, despite the fact that their husbands are not present and will not be tempted by them. It's simply a function of the female brain.
Welcome to the new normal. They can't be too pretty because that would upset someone. Everything has to be average, exactly in the middle, everything. That way no one wins.
Damn you Vonnegut, harrison bergeron wasnt supposed to be an instruction manual!
Phenotypically dysgenic reproduction has birthed generations of stupid beauties, ambitiously midwit commoners, and intelligent freakshows.
being good looking is only part of it
you've got to be able to act
most of these actors have gone through RADA, or similar school
80% of american women are overweight or obese. Know your market.
What a brilliant way to get women to be prostitutes. It used to be, you could go to the cinema to see all the top hotties of the day, and those hotties monopolized all the attention. Now dudes can't get their boob-ogling fix at the movies. Which opens the door for any 7/10 half-asian girl to put on a tank top and cat ear headphones and stream herself playing the latest Assassin's Creed and make $10k a month.
is the thing in the middle an actual human being??
no
its a dwarf
>its a dwarf
but where's the beard??
that explains a lot
Wait did they really make the sassy black woman into a dwarf?
Yep! here she is with her husband and Elrond
That’s one of the orcs
Good for keeping a whole bunch of costume makers on the job.
[spoilers] its not that bad
left and right don't look hot/good enough to be elves
middle... lol?
It's bad but it can't be worse than Hacksons butchering of the source material
>duuude what if sauron is a literal flaming eye on top of barad dur
What was he supposed to be? I’m not a homosexual so I don’t read books. As far as I’m concerned the movies are the standard for the story
He has a tall, human form. But he cannot regenerate, so he only has nine fingers left.
The opening of Hacksons film where Isildur literally chops his fingers off because Sauron trie to grab him is also hysterically bad. He literally lost because he reached out with his hand
"Far off the shadows of Sauron hung; but torn by some gust of wind out of the world, or else moved by some great disquiet within, the mantling clouds swirled, and for a moment drew aside; and then he saw, rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr. One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye; and then the shadows were furled again and the terrible vision was removed."
Even in the books, it is a literal flaming eye, only it’s not always visible.
... You do realise that he just felt Sauron's eye(s) upon him...? Right?
You are a moron.
>I’m not a homosexual
lmao, you're a homosexual and a brainlet
Nah its doomed from the get go. They will do the Disney shtick after the first episode and blame
>muh men
>muh racists
>muh bigots
>muh gatekeepers
etc etc
No . Little anon
So far from the adverts and the news, it's making all the same mistakes as the Hobbit did, and I have zero faith in modern writing. I give way less than 50% chance of being good.
sorry mate, I give it a 5% chance to be adequate. It will get canned in season 2.
So in the books, was Galadrel meant to be a rough tomboy warrior in her younger years? I only know her from the films as extremely powerful but at the same time the epitome of feminine grace and beauty.
Galadriel in the Tolkien notes had various contradictory origin stories. He loved her but couldnt settle for a precise backstory
In one of the possible backstories he tought that were found by his son Christopher, Galadriel had an "edgy teenager phase" in previous eras, where he went around as an amazon to try avange what the dark foces did to her eldar tribe (the Noldors. A bunch of light Black person-behaving elves who deserved everything bad happened to them btw)
They cleary took inspiration from this idea found in the notes
>the Noldors. A bunch of light Black person-behaving elves
Frick you, Noldor are simply too based for cucked Vanyar and Teleri.
>Backstabed the Teleri like cowardy vermins
>Vanyar saved their asses in the final war of the First Age
Yea lmao, sure.
Post source. I think you're referring to a single line which says she enjoyed sport as a youth and was referred to as man-maiden.
Yea obviously, not saying it will but listening to the moronic chickens in here sqwauking autistically about black hobbits and why there shouldn’t be vegetation in Khazad Dum is probably not the best representation of how the show might turn out
In b4 some moronic homosexual calls me a shill
If they just make it the Galadriel show, yeah it will probably will be great
zzzZZZZzzzZZZZ
What's wrong anon?
don't like shills
don't like coomer shitposters
it might seem smart to adopt their mannerisms, but it just creates more hate
The show might be good but they haven't released anything good yet, except the armorer's work. You have to shill better if you want validation. Morfydd Clark has a great name and looks weird, which is considered a recipe for stardom because she'll attract scum and not threaten women. While Cinemaphile has its share of scum, gross feminist superheroes aren't a selling point for everyone. RoP also has the soft edges, pastels, and framing of a kid's book written by a middle-aged mom. It's not made for Cinemaphile.
oh no...
these are starting to look better than rings of power actually
>these are starting to look better than rings of power actually
no lie
like Bakshi on even more acid
They just turned her into another toxic c**t as the go to personality for strong woman who need no man. Fricking hacks. And then they turn around and say "Don't blame us for making her an unlikable mary-sue, that's how Tolkien wrote her!". Disgusting.
>mary-sue
How in the world is Galadriel a mary-sue?
how is she not?
is this why ~~*they*~~ put ugly women in films, because they think a mary sue is someone visually attractive? No, it's a question of how the character is treated in-universe. Even the invisible man actress could be a mary sue if written that way
Galadriel's personality prevents her from being a Mary Sue, yes she is amazing in almost all ways possible but she has a darkness to her that most Noldor share, I mean she lusts for power even dominion over people.
That is never presented as a positive trait
wow, she's all the jedi and a little bit of sith as well? epic!
>she's all the jedi and a little bit of sith
Yes that's exactly what Tolkien thought when he created her character in the 1950s
NEW!! spoilers for Rings of Power: gut your mother you fricking shill. I will sacrifice you to Baal
meds have never more been needed
You quoted the wrong post.
>That is never presented as a positive trait
it will be
Will it though? It wouldn't really mesh with her scenes in LOTR if her wanting all this power was something that she should have
She's a woman. Lusting for power is a virtue for modern women.
So she is a Mary Sue. You can't be an amazing fighter who is always right an not be a mary sue
Ahh right, lgbtqwerty+- friendly Xena: Warrior Princess, yeah, it can aswell stay as it is, a burning dumpster taken by the flood
Actually that's a good point, making Galadriel a bisexual warrior queen must seem like too attractive an option to libs not to take
Guarantee there will be a lesbian kissing scene at some point, I'm willing to put money on it
>lgbtqwerty+- friendly Xena: Warrior Princess
that was literally just Xena: Warrior Princess 20 years ago
>If they just make it the Galadriel show
from the looks of it they have. in the books Elron is actually the one who suspects that Sauron might come back while everyone else is calling him paranoid.
But the woke show runners couldn't let a white man be the star of a modern show so know this weird woke take of Galadriel is now Wonder Womaning around (even through she never used a sword or wore armor in the books) while Elron is a weakling and idiot (just like every other white man in the show)
> while everyone else is calling him paranoid
You just made that up
Tolkien:
>[Sauron] perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy.
She was Sauron's biggest nuisance until he finished the One Ring and Celebrimbor realized that Sauron had tricked him.
I don't get it she's white and gorgeous what are you homosexuals seething about?
Just look at how little attention this show is getting on Cinemaphile to get an idea of the hype it has going for it. There is 1 thread that was made 7 hours ago with 100 unique posters in it. Then there is this thread, with 27. That's it, a day after their big teaser trailer released 127 people in total decided to talk about this show on Cinemaphile and at least 70% of those posters just wanted to talk shit about it. This show is dead on arrival whether you want to accept it or not.
Bro there are only ever like 40 people on Cinemaphile at most and almost all of them are here to talk about /misc/ shit
what are you expecting
>Literally me on 40 different vpns
>big teaser
Was just something for the fans, the actual trailer for the show will be released this time next week at San Diego Comicon
>San Diego Comicon
how do you even know that if you are not a shill lol
Google 'Rings of Power SDCC', they are having a huge 1.5h panel in Hall H.
All of this gets announced well in advance so the people paying can plan what they want to go and see. 18 cast members and showrunners will be onstage and im going to take a wild guess they got Stephen Colbert to host the thing. Im betting Howard Shore gets brought out too.
They already started covering some of the nearby hotels with ROP stuff.
kys shill homosexual
>But how could you know this widely communicated public infos???

>SHILL YOU ARE LE SHILL

>dwarven female

Very little. It has the potential to really crush Amazon as a brand the same way Disney is deteriorating.
Can't wait for the representation and the gay/interracial romance
The showrunners are practising Mormons, is gayshit tolerated by that church? genuine question
>be wearing full plate armor
>opponents are either heavily armored orcs or giant monsters
>still use a sword instead of a halberd or poleaxe
what an idiot
>Use leggings with printed on scale armor
Might as well wear a battle bikini.
The woman in the middle is from vikings valhalla you dumb homosexual
No, these promos made me have more hope for that GOT prequel.
if they do massive recasts and reshoots and remove all the africans from middle earth, yea. they're not gonna do that tho.
The new teaser was pretty good tbh, kino opening too. Pure Silmarillion shit right here
Yes, there is a chance that it will be good, even under the conditions we've seen. Not a very good chance though. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Honestly I doubt it'll be quite so terrible as the schizoid hyperbolic outrage-addicts on Cinemaphile predict it will be, but I'm also certain it will not by any stretch of the imagination capture the same wonder and beauty that the LOTR films did. Expect PJ's Hobbit quality at best - watchable, possibly even enjoyable, but strictly mediocre.
none whatsoever
No
Uh why isnt she wearing plate armor and wielding two zweihanders???
wtf is this incel fantasy???
> GALADRIEL IS CANONICALLY SUPPOSED TO BE 7+ FEET TALL
No she isnt, more like 6'3
Aragorn is the tallest of the Fellowship at 6'6", Galadriel is written as towering over him in the chapter Lothlórien, when they first meet, and in The Steward and the King, when Aragorn is properly crowned and wed to Arwen (Galadriel's granddaughter, who she "gives away"). That Galadriel looks like a giantess even against the tall Numenorean blood of Aragorn is significant.
Was Arwen also towering over Aragorn?
No, Arwen is described as relatively tall for a woman, same as Eowyn, but still shorter than all the other men, again like Eowyn. Maybe 5'10" - 6'. But Galadriel is singled out as being especially tall because she's Noldorin royaltyand there aren't very many of those in Middle-Earth, it marks her out specifically as a being of particularly supernatural provenance, in allusion to the giants/Enakim/Nephilim of the Bible.
Elven women are tall, simply because Elves are taller than men.
But Galadriel is described as tall for an Elven man.
Her mother called her Nerwen which means man-maiden because of that, and not because she was a sword-wielding warrior qween with piss and vinegar like they are trying to cringe her here.
None whatsoever
You'll all eat it up anyways. Why play hard to get?
Laughing at the preposterousness of it's stupid existence =/= actually watching it.
>I'm going to watch it ironically
You have bad reading comprehension. I'll do the same thing I do with everything that comes out these days. Laugh at it. Repost the memes. Tear anyone who enjoys it down with ridicule so I can watch them try to defend it and then come around to agreeing a year or two later because they want to fit in. It's all more rewarding than partaking in it ever was.
>Saw WoT butchered before my very eyes
>Now I'll probably see it happen with LotR despite telling myself I won't watch it
We went from Burrahobbits to homiehobbits and a far too literal interpretation of a dark elf.
>If it's successful (somehow) they'll probably adapt more works
>tfw they might actually try to adapt Beren and Luthien
Might actually gouge out my eyes.
Beren will be black and Luthien will be white and the story will be about how they overcome racism.
I'll shoot you.
this has to be a joke
my fricking sides hurt I'm so glad not to be invested in lotr
she's a dwarf, and she gets COLONIZED by a redhead khazad-chad (Chadzad? Khachad?)
You mean the dwarfs that are supposed to be visually identical to the males?
Could you stop repeating that point? It was never of put into canon.
That looks like a woman to you? You must be gay then.
Why Ar Pharazon looks like Carl Marx?
was karl marx part african? he looks like it.
no he was a purebred israelite, tracing rabbis up to his great-great-grandparents
Sauce on those letters?
Not him, but google around, they do exist, I seen them before and it's funny.
why would marx be writing friedrich in english
Does he?
yeah
The truth us I'm not worried that she's black. The issue is the desire to just blackify a white character and ignore what we all see. Make a character from another land or tribe or something, but don't just interject a random black person and pretend we don't see it. I also with we just had more movies about Africa - history and myth. It would make way more sense if more black on screen is the goal, and there are for sure stories to be told.
If you are a ragingly woke sjw, then yes. For everyone else it's token remake garbage. In truth, most ethnic folks don't even like this shit because it's often not relatable and it feels just as forced to them as well. But it had to be done, they've blacked everything from the Karate Kid to Annie. This too shall pass.
No.
Based Morf
It always makes a girl seem less attractive when she swears.
She's probably just excited
>Clark had to leave her school at 16 as she had ADHD. In addition to ADHD, she also had dyslexia.
Her ADHD is noticeable in interviews, she will often clench her hands together too.
It's kinda qt
Now I know why I always get very "aggressive" vibes from her. Someone like that shouldn't be Galadriel tbh.
>Now I know why I always get very "aggressive" vibes from her.
What? lol
Her face, Anon, It's hard to understand for people with autism so I don't blame you.
But how does having ADHD make her look 'aggressive' ?
Never even implied that.
Yeah I wonder how. Hyperactivity and impulsiveness:
>being unable to sit still, especially in calm or quiet surroundings.
>constantly fidgeting.
>being unable to concentrate on tasks.
>excessive physical movement.
>excessive talking.
>being unable to wait their turn.
>acting without thinking.
>interrupting conversations.
>In addition to ADHD, she also had dyslexia.
so basically she's moronic
Ofc anon. What else did you expect?
Reminder her boyfriend is a black soul singer
All I know is that there is a massive astroturfing campaign going on with every imbecile on Youtube reacting to this shit, including reaction compilations, shorts and whatnot. Totally organic. Yeah, right.
If you are complaining about marketing already then you might aswell shut yourself off from society for the next two months
It's going to be one of the biggest mass media marketing campaigns of all time. Think about the kind of reach Amazon has, they will use all of it.
Seems like it's more a social experiment than an attempt to put Tolkien on TV.
Don't care, cancelling my prime in september btw
Ciao
Daily reminder Newline Cinema still holds the rights to the movie adaptions, so all props, all music, all sets and locations used in the movies cannot be used in the series.
There is no way in hell this will be a good show, but of course it doesn't have to be. People would eat literal shit if you film it and put it on a streaming service.
Game of Thrones is proof enough of that
>Newline Cinema still holds the rights to the movie adaptions, so all props, all music, all sets and locations used in the movies cannot be used in the series
Newline are literally part of this production
You're right oops my bad. Turns out Amazon only owns the right to The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy. They do NOT own the rights to the Silmarillion though lmao.
>So what did Amazon buy? “We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says. “And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books.”

I prefer Ted Nasmith's lamps of the valar tbh
Naismith does some good arts, definitely up there
Does seem the show have used his arts as inspiration in a few places though
the lamps are a totally different thing and came before the trees
I could never make sense of the Silmarillion did humans even exist back then and if they did weren't they just hillmen?
Yes they existed in the 1st age and some chads came to help the elves in their wars against Morgoth
They will probably show a clip of it in the show as they helped out Galadriels brother in a dire spot and we know he is getting a few flashback scenes
It's uncertain when or where the Edain/Atani appeared on Middle-Earth, but I think they were around by the end of the first age

okay i will just drop this and be gone
I WANTED SAURON TO WIN
I WANTED SAURON TO WIN
SAURON SHOULD HAVE WON
there are almost 0 saurongays out there and it pisses me off
entire movie is nothing but a series of asspulls and cheap plot devices to deny sauron his victory
aragorn murdered a diplomat and it's le okay because he is with le good guys and the diplomat was with le bad guys. you're supposed to root for it somehow
frodo should have never survived and he had way too many "close calls" to the point of absurdity. even things that should have been "bad" (smeagol succumbing to madness) are actually good because he just so happens to knock the ring into the lava when frodo got corrupted
i won't even bother with the parallel events happening of the frontlines
humans and elves winning bullshit after bullshit battles
oh what's this one of le good goys died? so tragic... JUST KIDDING LMAO, HE WAS BROUGHT BACK THROUGH DIVINE INTERVENTION! NOW HE IS ALSO STRONGER, MEANING THAT HIS DEATH NEVER WAS A THREAT BUT IN FACT SOMETHING DESIRABLE
moronic ass cavalry charges working. charging through a 4meter wide platform with no momentum? orcs btfo! charging through orcish spear/pike formations? orcs btfo! charging into fricking 50 feet tall mammoths? haradrim btfo!
nothing needs to make sense as long as it leads into a scenario where sauron loses, everything else is just background noise as far as tolkien is concerned
even at the end when sauron dies and his kingdom collapses, the collapse just so conveniently prevents the orcs from attacking the encircled good goys and it just so conveniently narrowly avoids them! wow how convenient! wow so narrow! wow the stakes were so high!
TOLKIEN WAS A FRICKING HACK
GRRM WAS RIGHT
SAURON SHOULD HAVE WON
HE DESERVED TO WIN; FRICK YOU IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME
Is this copypasta?
I like playing Mordor/Isengard/Angmar in vidya because it's fun but they are supposed to lose in fixed narratives they are the fricking bad guys.
Why didn't they give them a shot at ruling Middle-Earth? They seem like okay guys when not wearing their monstrous armours of doom.
>Why didn't God just let Satan and his boyfriend rule the world?
are you stupid?
Time to take a walk through Middle Earth and experience what it must have been like back in Tolkien's time
Zero chance. It can't even keep the elves looking like elves. Its dogshit.
There's always a chance brother.
I agree, I'm not going to let the fact that there's noggits ruin the experience for me. I hope the story is nice & I'm ready for my kino set in middle earth 🙂
🙂
Yeah and they're in Harad, not the rest of Middle Earth. Dumb homosexual.
It's already confirmed that a good portion of the series takes place in Harad moron. That's where the mulatto elf is from.
Why in the trailer is there a terrible fake Oirish accent
Its what they went with for the harfoots
Dwarves have Scottish accents, Elves kind of an upper class English.
I noticed that Elendil had the same south England accent has his actor so maybe that's what they are doing with the Numenoreans
Yes, a 0% chance.
Just watched it and thought it looked pretty good. Am actually interested and will give it a watch. Can't be worse than the worst parts of the hobbit trilogy.
It’s way harder to get tv right than film in general. Then there’s the fact that each episode is 70 minutes each which tells me it will be a mess.
lmao there is only one ring, why would they ruin the lore with such a horrible retcon, just to produce some shitty show ripping off the original
0/10
>lmao there is only one ring
Your right. It's even in its name. THE ONE RING. Why would they name it THE ONE RING if there are more rings?
WE
Are there supposed to be black people in middle earth? And if so, did they have every other race, too? Like were there eskimos there, too?
Are there supposed to be white people in middle earth? And if so, did they have every other race too? Like were there Hawaiians?
You cant have good show with bad cast.
If you're a racist you'll hate it, everyone else will love it and it'll be more successful than The Boys.
why was my post about galadriel's height deleted
>is there a chance for it to be good?
No
>Woke Trash fan fic
No, looks boring, cheap and without passion, original or otherwise, like most of sci fi and fantasy and media in general now. At this point they are going to make me become a writer and write my own books so that I have something that interests me.
Very broad overview of the first 2 episodes, no larp
Everything shown so far is eps 1+2 only
So only woman get to do action and be depicted as powerful leaders. Too woke for me
judging from the leaks we're finally getting info on the tax policies
i just don't care anymore. i'm numb to the consumption of pop culture. none of it will improve my life. none of it will give me true meaning. none of it will improve my social status. none of it will fatten my wallet. none of it will get me orgasms at the hands/mouths/c**ts of young, attractive women. so it doesn't matter. one way or the other. it's all just to continue the unfathomably decadent lifestyles of a few thousand humans who rolled the right numbers on a genetic and economic lottery.
true
Critics will love it 99.9% fresh and the audience will say it's 60%.
>60%
it's definitely gonna get review bombed
They have not even shown the good stuff yet
Cinemaphile will be kneeling soon
>Cinemaphile will be kneeling soon
And then there will be more BLM riots. We've already been there. No more kneeling.
The promotional shots look terrible but everything in the trailer and sneak peaks have looked good in motion. They really need to stop with these promotional stills they keep releasing they are god awful.
I meant to add this image to my post about them not even showing the good stuff yet

Stop lying.
Alternate history doesn't mean illogical history. There is no reality where black people settle in middle earth and either don't die off due to low vitamin d or evolve skin colour. How shit are the shows you watch?
they lost any chance of it being good when they refused to cast asian elves

They just played the teaser in the ad break on British TV, prime time, even though we are two months from release.

Good luck
Also where's "shapely redhaired"?
Not that I would actually want any of them portrayed in a show where everyone is fricking ugly
Will we ever get a fantasy film that doesn't mix weapons and armor from different periods and make them all plastic. All I want is a setting with early medieval look.
hard to judge the hair color, but I'm seeing some red
seems like it's maedhros on the far right, then maglor then possibly amrod and amras at the end
>name literally means "shapely redhead"
>Bland brunette CGI
Their laziness is baffling
why is the camera spinning? is feanor standing in the middle doing pirouettes? is this a solemn oath swearing or a carousel?
No. We are seeing a falling plane flying in slow motion straight into a skyscraper.
Seeing how much of Cinemaphile is watching the the goys, by seth rogen, I believe much of this thread with watch it. Rightwingers don't have any principles, clearly.
There is a difference between watching and paying. I am sure Amazon will launch an anti-piracy campaign soon after release. Got to control the customer, lest he starts buying what he wants and not what he's told to.

I've had that gif at least 10 years now, you might as well be complaining that VHS isn't as good quality as DVD.
>is there a chance for it to be good?
the onions boy army has decided, it's gonna be amazing
Who? We was lord of the kangs n shit bix noot homie
Don't make me puke! Spoiler that shit next time!
>Not Cate Blanchett
>Black persondwarf

Yeah there's a chance it'll be good shitposting material on this website.
I take solace that everyone in this fanfic but Galadriel are killed by Sauron even in this AU
I won't watch it so I will never know, but I have a good hunch
No... and there isn't even a need to elaborate.
They're gonna frick it up so bad, it's just so tiresome. Why do people defend huge corporate media companies to be faithful to source material?
what's the alternative?
they have all the money.
Not actively praising it and calling it the shit that it is when asked?
>They're gonna frick it up so bad,
nobody cares enough about this either way.
Black folk everywhere, that moron-souding young Ned Stark as Elrond.
At some point, you got a literal white woman fricked by a black elf storyline.
There's no way this is gonna be watchable.
>The Rings of Power TV show will cost Amazon over $1 billion
>The Rings of Power TV show will cost Amazon over $1 billion
They're going to sue every torrent and every streaming platform with a copy to hell just to make the money back.
>Rings of power doesn't hold the rights to the Silmarillion, have to make up their own stuff from the appendices
>producers collectively don't have an entire season of TV experience under their belt
Let's forget the cynicism, the woke BS and all the "we want to reflect the real world" garbage. Let's pretend the people running the show are lifelong tolkien fans, and WANT to make the best lotr show possible. Even under those circumstances they are severely crippled by not being able to use anything from the Silmarillion and their lack of experience.
Could have just focused on the Hobbit caravan making their way into the shirelands and all the dangers and obstacles they meet on the way. Could fill a few seasons with that. It would be quaint, inoffensive and even heartwarming.
Instead we get warrior galadriel and garbled garbage.
Anyone have any good CinemaphileX Regex filters for me to filter out ALL the threads about this?
Might as well skip coming to Cinemaphile for the next half year or so.
I still need the dopamine hit. Maybe I'll need to learn some new hobbies so I have Cinemaphile boards to lurk
No because it has black people and these English actors are overacting and cringe.
No, but get ready for the
>WELL EVERYTHING IS BAD BUT AT LEAST THE SETTING LOOKS GOOD IN MANY SHOTS!
Cope, as if multi billion dollar companies don't have that as a standard.
>I'll do the same thing I do with everything that comes out these days. Laugh at it. Repost the memes. Tear anyone who enjoys it down with ridicule so I can watch them try to defend it and then come around to agreeing a year or two later because they want to fit in. It's all more rewarding than partaking in it ever was.
