According to a variety of influencers and superfans (including some Tolkien scholars) the footage is pretty fricking awesome.
Cinemaphile srsly needs to unfrick itself. You lunatics were excited for the Witcher under the big N despite it looking like dogshit. No way this is anything like that dumpster fire. Too Big to fail.
blacks look out of place in a medieval fantasy setting
Chud gang step up!
Black person.
The problem is they don't bother matching hairstyles or facial shapes. There are elven looking black people, like that cutie pie in that one webm that's always posted
In this particular part of this particular world, yeah they absolutely do. Hell it'd be like going to medieval Europe and seeing blacks all around. It's just immersion breaking.
Are you implying the Boleyns were an oddity?
In theory I don't agree. But in Tolkien's world absolutely correct, since he went into great detail to explain the bloodlines and physical attributes of all the many tribes and families. There are no black elves.
that elf looks like he's going to steal a ring of power
This.
At least give them dreadlocks or something and not just have a black dude with a buzz cut as an elf
They’re just offensively ugly. Seeing them reminds you of their behavior and it’s effect on society. I think the Americas would have been better off being nuked than allowing israelites to being slaves here.
I mean Black folk would just be orcs
well, unless they're the orcs.
This, I watch escapist fantasy to escape from black people in the real world
It can work.
It has worked.
In Conan's world there was an africa equivalent, just south of the egypt equivalent.
Also Conan wasn't medieval.
The 2nd age of middle earth is not even close to being 'medieval' you casual
I like how the artist just plagiarized Constantinople. It even has the Hagia Sophia
good thing it doesn't take place in medieval times
>medieval fantasy
lotr is neither medieval nor fantasy
It’s crazy how truly diverse the world is but when it comes to casting it’s just black
nig stole an arrow
For real though, multiple people said this scene of Gil-galad crowning Galadriel was 10/10
Hello Amazon employee.
fricking polcel mentality.. save the meme pictures chud
Those people can suck my penis dry
Why would you allow these demons to drain your God given life force?
moronic blizzard style comically large pauldrons, trash designs.
Looks high fantasy as frick
It will be high(er) fantasy compared to the LOTR movies
Looks kitschy and made by and for people with subpar aesthetic standards.
It looks cheap and cg. But morons like you will eat any shit they put out so they just keep making dog shite for you to consume. Hopefully media dies out.
>low sun in the background.
This is probably the most dishonest way to make a "beautiful frame".
>Armour looks like paper plates glued together
Why is he crowning her
>Tolkien scholars
You expect them to talk about the same shit for 60 years?
TRoP is too big to fail.
I'd like something else other than useless navel-gazing academics projecting [topic of the day] onto something where it's completely irrelevant.
Thats what they get paid for. You would take such a job too if it were offered to you as it is easy and painless, unlike real work.
yeah?
I expect them to find some other shit to talk about
This.
jesus
I can smell this
Truly dystopian
My god, society has collapsed.
Keeek
I'm not watching. I'll never watch. I won't give it a chance. I will still call it shit.
Then join us brother in attacking it non-stop onto eternity!
Where can I get a job astroturfing for major amazon productions, anon? Come on give me the inside info
>According to a variety of influencers and superfans (including some Tolkien scholars) the footage is pretty fricking awesome.
This is a genuine shill post. Nobody talks like that. "Superfans", come on.
>NOOOOOO THEYRE INSULTING MY RELIGION AND MY CHURCH'S PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!
kek you're literally in a suicide cult of satanic pedos hahahahaha
>pygmy adjacent
Looks worse than a spoof movie or a SNL sketch
He looks good
His facial features don't scream Black. That's all that matters to me.
He looks like an Orc
Don't tell the Amazon hacks this.
that fricking short hair rustles my jimmies like you wouldn't believe
Should he rather have a huge afro?
a morgul blade in his skull
Extremely based
He has short hair because he was captured and shaved by orcs.
You mean he escaped the or s and is trying to pretend to be human
Bait.
Black folk ARE SO FRICKING AWESOME. DON'T FORGET THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU TOO
I would have gone for the nose job, chin reduction and laser hair removal first tbh
>I have a vegana
No you don't you deluded monster, you have a mutilated penis. A vegana doesn't is self-lubricating and doesn't need dilating to not close together because it's a real thing and not a gaping festering wound, holy shit
this homie looks like he's on his deathbed
>You lunatics were excited for the Witcher
speak for yourself, homosexual. I gave up any hope of that shit being good as soon as non white actors were confirmed. Turns out I was right just like I will be about this dogshit.
THEY FLY NOW!?
>superfans
>scholars
cease this at once
>According to a variety of influencers and superfans (including some Tolkien scholars) the footage is pretty fricking awesome.
hello amazon employee, i too am a superfan AND scholar, I did my academic phd on racial diversity and trans inclusion in the mordor community and why tolkien should do better, this is why i believe my fellow superfans shoulds embrace this reimagining of this dated franchise for a more modern sensibility
>dey the same color as me, now i can relate!
why are they like this?
they're just repeating hollywood israelite nonsense
That's a plant care of the Studio! No one among the black community gives a damn about hobbits or elves.
This is now a Morfy thread
I want her to femme domme the shit out of my balls.
>probably the most powerful female elf on middle earth
>wears rusted armor
And this is just the tip of the iceberg
And why not? Aside from Feanor and his kin, the High Elves weren't some master armorers - that would be the Dwarves.
They don't need to have master armorers to not look like shit.
>What was Gondolin?
She's the girl all the elves said couldn't and then she proved those pesky boys wrong!
The trousers she's wearing look fricking dumb and out of place.
Wtf, can't unsee
Looks androgynous/troonyfied. No femininity, no presence, no charisma, looks totally deprived of the character's inner light.
Looks like you may have a case of the gays, mate
It's just the opposite: if you were a real man, you wouldn't feel insecure by other men's own views on what makes a woman hot and feminine.
That pic looks like Hunter Schafer and unlike you I am heterosexual, so that's why you're confused, I have in fact been with real women in real life.
What did she mean by this?
>no breasts
>Black folk
no thanks
Its gonna be woke trash!
Black personia, Middle Earth
Black folk
End of story.
hahaha
>superfans (including some Tolkien scholars)
Frick off. A fan is a fan, no greater or lesser than their peers
Sorry old hand, you have the wrong opinions.
KEK
WON'T EVEN FRICKING PIRATE
EAT SHIT AND DIE israeliteS, Black folk, TRANNIES, homosexualS, MODS AND JANNIES
won't watch 1 second eat shit israelites
>According to a variety of influencers and superfans (including some Tolkien scholars
You mean a carefully curated selection of shills who all agreed ahead of time to only say nice things? Yeah, frick off. You are exactly the kind of person this kind of marketing is made for.
KINO
this looks more like Warcraft than LOTR lmao
looks fake and shit
Why do these all look so fake? Is it the lighting?
It's the embarrassingly obvious lack of talent of the people who made it. It lacks depth, realism, everything, it looks like a videogame from 15 years ago.
real life doesn't have HDR color grading
Very obviously greenscreen and weird filters. There's really no excuse for top right, they're just WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS.
The new designs look really fricking stupid and LOTR had flawless design work. It never looked cheesy.
It's really hard to pinpoint what the problem is, but it looks like they're just a bunch of actors on set instead of actual inhabitants of middle earth. Same shit with the Witcher, like a high level cosplay competition.
>oversaturated colors
>plastic props
Hallmarks of cosplay
Have they revealed any original Middle-earth locations besides Tirharad?
>4th from the top
is this supposed to be hogwarts?
This looks so laughably shit. I hope Bezos loses billions on this trainwreck.
Then a black dwarf comes in speaking ebonics and ruins the whole flow.
call me a Black person you homosexual
I actually find it charming how the top 4 scenes clearly look like they were shot indoors, it reminds me of how they shot the wizard of oz.
>cheap CG
>whoa.......
OP is a paid contractor.
>According to a variety of people who's careers depend on giving glowing reviews to corporate garbage the footage is pretty fricking awesome
I'm stunned. I can't believe I was so wrong. I can't wait! I think all movies should be exclusively black people.
Ffs, would it really have been that fricking hard to put some pointy ears on a qt black hippie girl you can easily find IG??
model ≠ actor
>DUDE listen to the influencers whose job is to influence how you think or feel about something
I know OP is baiting but are there people out there who seriously aren't creeped out by this?
I saw the footage, it looks pretty good. Just to calm peoples breasts, most of the cast are actually accurate and white.
Arondir, who is Cruz character isn't even a full elf. He's from Tir Harad in the south, his father is played by a white actor and is an elf and the mother is long dead, she was a Haradrim woman.
The female Dwarf Queen is from Harad too.
The Hobbits are also various clans under 'harfoot' that joined together to find a homeland, they're not all just mixed race of anything.
>Arondir, who is Cruz character isn't even a full elf. He's from Tir Harad in the south, his father is played by a white actor and is an elf and the mother is long dead, she was a Haradrim woman.
What, really?
He'll be a half-elf that chose his elven side & is thus an elf for all practical purposes. (Lotr crossbreeds are multiple choice)
Not that surprising to me, frankly - going for 'middle-earth was always multicultural BIGOT!' was probably not in the cards, both the books and Jackson movies were very very white, so it was either feigned race-blind casting or go for an in-universe explanation. The modern left actually hates race-blindness, everything always has to be about race so you can't 'do a 90s' and just have the characters' skin tones never be mentioned. So my money is on 'ACKshually Numinoreans did atrocities in Harad, so Hobbits have a moral duty to pay reparations' or the like
Thanks gandalf, glad to learn the context behind the outrage.
Now, could you briefly explain what wizard sexuality is like?
Cross race mixing is extremely rare in the legendarium, and it is ALWAYS Elf woman/human man.
>Tolkien scholars
Pretty niche field of study, but whatever...
AARRRGGGHH BARAHIR, SAVE ME!
I don't even want to be some super pedantic critic but everything in this picture just looks like it was made of plastic.
look at this plastic looking shit
>Current year
>Tolkien scholars
Tell me how I know you spread covid?
Is WETA involved in this shit show?
Weta Workshop and Digital
That's unfortunate, I guess the people involved with Jackson's LOTR are long gone or dead so this new vision is trying to distance itself from those previous designs. They probably cope with the cheap looking armor and weapons by saying that processes have been upgraded or updated etc. and cgi will fill in the blanks.
>the people involved with Jackson's LOTR are long gone or dead so this new vision is trying to distance itself from those previous designs
John Howe is the lead concept artist and has been working on the show alot, so no
It was less than 20 years ago. Literally none of them are dead or gone. Idiot.
That depends, 20 years is a lot- they could be either gone or retired at least.
If it does there goes their reputation because the effects look outsourced and trite.
Pls don't be culturally insensitive- it should be titled Lawd of da Bling
Is this the third thread with the same over all subject of 'haha we/some people actually saw it it's actually good' shilling? And it doesn't matter if it's good, never touch Amazon anything.
Found the shill!
Here's the first leaked footage that's made it to the public
>______ says this new show is awesome!
>______ saying its the best yet in the series!
How many more times are idiots gonna fall for this?
Niggolas could atleast have elvish hair but no
he'd look even more laughable with fake straight white hair like those GoT Black folk
Ok tired of thid shit I am. You homosexuals are gonna hate watch this to hell and back. I'll be creating generals like a fiend. You're gonna coom in and on order to pile on this shit show you will have to watch it. I own you already chuds.
>You homosexuals are gonna hate watch this to hell and back
Nah, life's too short, and I don't want even a single second of this show to exist in my head.
OK shill

I understand that Gandalf was reluctant to use magic because Sauron could track it, but why not just go all-in during the big battle scenes where Sauron already knew his location?
He did though - he solos the witch king of angmar, who was otherwise buttfricking Minas Tirith's defenses.
He's really more of a lore wizard anyway though, and 'throwing fireballs' would probably be the purview of evil magic in lots.
.
No, he got soloed by the Witch King of Angmar.
Personally, I always thought that “light spells” in Middle Earth would translate to a good wizard’s ultimate spell because they’re essentially angels/priests. That’s not just mundane light. It’s the Divine Light of Eru and it banishes darkness both physical as well as spiritual.
>~~*superfans*~~
We saw exactly what Amazon shills mean when they use the term "superfan" with the Wheel of Time lmao.
You don't have to have read any books or be familiar with the subject material in the slightest way to be a superfan, chud. IT'S 2022 AND IT'S A TRANSBlack person UTOPIA OF homosexualRY.
no way to polish this turd, personally the more I see and hear about the more disgusted I am. they would have done better saying nothing.
that way they would have baited me into watching the first episode.
I supposed I should be grateful for the media push, it spares me the trouble of seeing it.
the best part is when it finally airs and shills will go on ad nauseam how amazing it really is, the harder they shill the worse the debut will be
>According to a variety of influencers and superfans
Wow this resonates with me because I let influencers and superfans dictate my tastes nice.
I dont care anymore.
Also, im cancelling my prime.
Ciao.
This, free shipping on certain stuff was fun but now with this sea of pedo media they're shitting out it's time to pull the plug.
