I mean yeah it's bait but all the 2nd age trappings look nice, the orcs look kino, and with the sheer amount of characters the trailer throws at you they must be at least Trying for an epic-scale adventure with epic Tolkien-style themes. People complain about the Hobbits but at least they're not just getting rid of them and doing le epic action story like Jackson did after the first LOTR film. The trailer is written in Tolkien's favourite poetic style bruh

You don't care about the books at all, you only care about Jackson who in the words of Christopher Tolkien 'fundamentally misunderstood the books'
Jackson absolutely (and I'm quoting again) 'evicerated the books' to the point when the family were seriously contemplating legal action against the studio due to irreparable damage to Tolkiens legacy

Frick the Tolkien state lol. You think Tolkien himself would be okay with what they did to his works? He'd be spanking the damn brats all day. Especially that Simon homosexual.
There are normie marvel shows that get a half million views. I also don't trust a web site ran by Amazon prove how popular shows are compared to Amazon's products.

>Because I care about LOTR, like most nerds
Most embarrassing post I have read all day.
Yeah, I see whats going on they have to convince the hardcore LotR nerds and they are all here. Amazon´s shill armie is all ready the most insufferable and I will never make a purchase with
this chinese junk dealers warehouse. Way to ruinyour reputation Bezos, you bald frick
"uuuaaaaaahhhh you have not been told the truth about Middle Earthhhaaahhhhhh"
"Middle Earth is a world built on the back of slavery and racism.....this is Middle Earth's original sin"
If you live in America or around blacks you'll know that this is impossible.
When you live around noogers your brain becomes hardwired to identify them, distrust them, and then stay clear of them. I can't lose myself in any fantasy with the Black person alarm ringing at full blast in my head.
But you know they will be pulling the propaganda piece out the bag that "Brown ones are the best people ever, and invested everything and whites are dumb"
I mean did you really expect them not to use the palantir?
They have to introduce them at some point anyway as it's Elendil that takes them over to the mainland before Numenors downfall
Not when you claim you actively distance yourself from that previous depiction. But you made lies your profession, so there no surprise you cannot understand what is wrong with it.

This trailer is the best thing I've seen of it so far. I am still extremely sceptical and pessimistic about this show being good. I still think they are going to cut/change a bunch of shit to frick with the lore and make up a bunch of bullshit new characters to fill their woke quota, but I'm still gonna watch the first episode at least.
I want to like it. I'm not trying to be a cynical dickhead who hates everything but this is my favorite nerd franchise and about the only one I genuinely care about.

>everything is reddit
when will you people frick off, it's been like 10 years since you redditors came in and started calling everyone else reddit. so bored of this
I know you are just meming but it isn't a question of being better, it's going to be completely different
I'm the movies Galadriel has 11mins screentime total and essentially is a glorified cameo character
On the TV show she is the MC and will have more screentime in just the first episode
i like a lot of the visuals and galadriel is pretty decent but i'm scared all the quota actors are going to be talentless like what usually happens and then there'll be terrible writers or single episode directors who derail the show into superficial woman drama, neglecting the actual plot like wheel of time
it's pretty much confirmed to be superficial woman drama already
the story by the looks of the trailers will revolve around a female elf, a female dwarf, a female human and a female hobbit and an androgynous elrond
im out of the loop how the frick am i supposed to pirate these days? ive just been use piratebay with a vpn. im too lazy to be bother with private trackers or anything like that.
as a relentless hater of this trainwreck piece of shit, the one thing i will say is the orcs like kind of nice. the other stuff no, music has none of the magic of the original compositions and the sauron stuff revealed so far is grim
If it wasn't for the forced diversity, I might actually support it and give it a chance, I don't mind a bit of fanfiction.
But it looks like bad fanfiction.
Just look at the way they type them, it just feels out of character compared to the normal ones. Those corporate monkeys thing they can easily imitate it by using kick ass cool words and fool us all.
It alternates between the two trees so when the gold one is bright the silver is dim, visa versa
The silver ones light is less intense iirc and more like star/moonlight
So there is kind of like a day/night cycle of sorts
I'm sure my favourite moment will be when Sauron declares himself The Lord of the Rings in the season finale. He has to say it, the series won't be worth it if he doesn't.
I wouldn't be surprised if the southern storyline with the orcs, 'Adar', Morgoth cultists and the Latino elf's people end up being some of the most entertaining stuff.
I was at the convention people seriously panicking over nothing.
The Harfoots are a mixture of proto-hobbits from various regions, including the east, the north and harad, they all banded together.
Arondirs mother was a Haradrim and died centuries ago, he decided to be an elf, his father is a white elf, he lives in Tir-Harad which is populated by Haradrim.
The brown Dwarf woman is from harad too, she is in a marriage of unity with the Northern Dwarves.
The Queen of Numenor her mother was a Haradrim concubine.
>proto-hobbits from various regions
That's not how racial deviation works. You don't magically have hobbits pop up in a variety of people at the same time then just happen to gather up. They origin of one specific people and only then diversify again after thousands of years of breeding. But hey, Tolkien never exactly specified how hobbits came to be so you can just shit on a plate and call it canon.
None of that makes sense in a world where Eru Illuvatar created everyone, and the geography of middle earth manages to rearrange itself into modern Europe after a few thousand years. You can't suddenly bring in ideas about evolutionary theory to a place designed from a creationist POV. That's absurd.
Still moronic. This time strawmanning to make up an excuse for shit tier world building.

You homosexuals still don't understand what the difference between good world building and shit tier world building is. Instead you yammer on about physics and evolution like that's an argument and not an idiot strawman trying to distract from your utter moronation. You are irredeemable imbeciles.
Explain the physics of the trees then, chud.
Explain how the mountain ranges in Middle Earth could have possibly formed given the mechanism of plate tectonics, incel.
>brown Dwarf woman is from harad
Because dwarves mirror the exact fricking same ethnicities as men, because frick dwarves and their unique traits as a race, that's why.
This is shit tier world building all for the sake of diversity casting. And they inflict that one one of the masters of world building. Frick those sons of prostitutes and the b***hes they rode in on.
ad hoc justifications after the fact, if they wanted to make a story about the east they could have, instead we get random Black person characters sprinkled across the west of middle earth and Black person extras sprinkled into every scene
Sounds good if true. Got no problem with diversity providing it's legit and not weirdly inserted without context.
Can someone explain the tolkien scholar meme to me?
It's literally fantasy books. You don't see Robert E Howard scholars talking about Conan or C S Lewis scholars talking about Narnia
Why are there people who literally devote their lives and get degrees in this? Yeah it's fine if you wanna read it, it's a good story but basing academia around it and pretending you're super knowledgeable is idiotic
Because literally all this comes down to is >we hired our preferred book nerd with a degree >NUH UH THEYRE NOT THE REAL BOOK NERD WITH A DEGREE HE IS >NO >YES >REEEEE
moronic
There are Shakespearian scholars. The difference is that scholars for other authors had the job of explaining what they wrote and why they wrote it. Scholars these days have the job of giving opinions.
I have decided to watch this show (pirating it) but from now on not participate in any Cinemaphile threads about it.
They're all just filled with woke morons calling every criticism "incel" and "chud" so they're just a waste of time.
Yep. At this point I think people are lost in their supposed "roles". I think I am everything the ironic shills pretend to be and yet I've never tried to shit up the board by trying to fight people with different politics that mine. It's a waste of time on a side like this. I like Korra, and this board hates it, but I've never tried to shill for it here because I understand this is not the site for that. But the "ironic" shills are so dedicated to their bullshit they are worse that actual shills.
They can't even afford to buy likes on youtube. Seriously, 6 million views translated to 60k likes. They only bought like 20k that got added early on release. Probably hoped that would be enough to make opinion snowball in their favor. The comments now are all just fake memberberry shitposting.
Could anyone please explain to me why people are so furious about Amazon expanding upon a sub-race of halflings, or even introducing a new tribe of Dwarves?
In Tolkien's own lore there were several races/tribes which clearly stood out from the rest, but had nothing explained about them, like the Beorlings or the petty dwarves.
>Could anyone please explain to me why people are so furious about Amazon expanding upon a sub-race of halflings, or even introducing a new tribe of Dwarves?
Because they're all black for some reason? The new elvish, the new dwarven, the new hobbit, and the new human factions are black.
Isn't that how this works, though? You want to introduce a few faction/race/whatever, so you invent reasons to do so? Is there a different way to go about it?
No. Amazon didn't want to ad a new faction or anything initially. They just wanted to cast Black folk and the new faction/race stuff is just an excuse to do so.
There shouldn't need to be a justification. If new factions are introduced there should be a meaning for it. It's the difference between soul and soulless.
Because people want to get mad at something so they searching for things to get mad at.
It doesn't actually matter if it can fit within Tolkien writing, it just matters whether they can whip people into enough of a frenzy that it drowns out the people saying how it could make sense
The show is going to have many suspects for Sauron but the Meteor Man is going to act like Gandalf to fool the viewers but is later revealed as the actual Sauron.
Sauron is already in Numenor. How else is he going to sink with it?
Sauron first needs to rebuild Mordor, create the Rings, and wage war upon Middle-Earth. At this point Numernor will get involved, destroy his armies, and capture Sauron alive. That's when he gets to Numenor.
I unironically think Cinemaphile will be BTFO about this capeshit. I just watched trailer and I honestly enjoyed it. (never watched the original capeshit trilogy, mind you).
>I just watched trailer and I honestly enjoyed it
It's a good trailer but the final trailer is the best of the lot (by quite some margin)
Will be released mid August
She will be great, I think Pharazon and Celebrimbor will probably be more scenes stealers (just based on the actors previous work and experience) but Morfydd will nail it, I have no doubt.

Haha yeah bro just tens of millions of people around the world watching every little bit of new content that comes out. Last week it was the #5 most viewed IMDB page in all of televison (despite not being out yet)
This is just because everybody hates it so much and of course nobody is going to watch it 🙂
Yeah, I've watched everything about it and I'm not praising it. Because I care about LOTR, like most nerds.
>Because I care about LOTR, like most nerds
Most embarrassing post I have read all day.
Yeah bro you hate LOTR but love the show, we know your kind.
>uuuuh the books were never good in the first place!
It's the same shill tactic over and over again.
I read the books before the movies even came out.
You maybe watched the movies once and then only care about this show because your go to Pied Piper ragetuber directed you where to froth your mouth at next.
The movies came out when I was 10, I read the books later.
I have no idea what that youtuber is, isn't Pied Piper the company they made in Silicon Valley?
>the movies came out when I was 10
I know , you don't need to tell me. The Jackson fanatics are the easiest people to spot on the internet.
You don't care about the books at all, you only care about Jackson who in the words of Christopher Tolkien 'fundamentally misunderstood the books'
Jackson absolutely (and I'm quoting again) 'evicerated the books' to the point when the family were seriously contemplating legal action against the studio due to irreparable damage to Tolkiens legacy
I know that. What's your point?
Yeah, gay, and this show looks 100 times worse than the movies. Your logic isn't holding up.
Anon, you need to understand that the Jackson movies are 'not Lord of the Rings' which is yet another quote from the people that actually own the IP
You can like the Jackson movies all you want but they are not and never will be an accurate reflection of Tolkien, whose works the studio corrupted and distorted to make some israeli producers even richer
What does this have to do with the show holy shit
Who cares about the Tolkien estate though? They are just greedy cashgrabers still leeching of their dead relative's work. They didn't actually write the books.
Shills are incapable of responding like a human being would. All they fricking talk about is box office, social media response, what whichever person in a position of power thinks.
Most chuds don't even know that the Hackson films were based on a series of books.
I'm sure the chuds that you invented in your head are all 60 IQ, are racist for absolutely no reason, don't know how to read and only follow popular trends.
It's totally impossible that you misunderstood anyone.
You realize you're the one defending the show right?
>he's only 30+, what a zoomer!
Frick the Tolkien state lol. You think Tolkien himself would be okay with what they did to his works? He'd be spanking the damn brats all day. Especially that Simon homosexual.
>tens of millions of people
There are normie marvel shows that get a half million views. I also don't trust a web site ran by Amazon prove how popular shows are compared to Amazon's products.
Oh yeah I forgot that lol. Amazon owns IMDB now. What a bunch of fricking farces. But despite that i'm sure this show is gonna get panned there too even after they delete like half the user ratings.
Yeah, I see whats going on they have to convince the hardcore LotR nerds and they are all here. Amazon´s shill armie is all ready the most insufferable and I will never make a purchase with
this chinese junk dealers warehouse. Way to ruinyour reputation Bezos, you bald frick
You're fricking gay.
>"That's right Galadriel, rub my Silmaril."
I'm cautiously optimistic but the trailers are showing much promise!
>Finally a woman uses a Palantiri in an onscreen Tolkien adaptation - and it's everything
you are mentally ill
"uuuaaaaaahhhh you have not been told the truth about Middle Earthhhaaahhhhhh"
"Middle Earth is a world built on the back of slavery and racism.....this is Middle Earth's original sin"
They're black actors playing characters whose being black isn't mentioned at all. Just pretend they're actors playing white characters.
I'll just preted the original movies are the only Tolkien adaptations ever made, much better.
If you live in America or around blacks you'll know that this is impossible.
When you live around noogers your brain becomes hardwired to identify them, distrust them, and then stay clear of them. I can't lose myself in any fantasy with the Black person alarm ringing at full blast in my head.
Their lack of beauty and grace makes that impossible.
But you know they will be pulling the propaganda piece out the bag that "Brown ones are the best people ever, and invested everything and whites are dumb"
I honestly didn't even consider they would bring the palantir out but makes sense, all the remaining ones are on Numenor at this time irrc
Who plays Gandalf and Frodo?

Dishonest deceiving conniving shiteaters.
I mean did you really expect them not to use the palantir?
They have to introduce them at some point anyway as it's Elendil that takes them over to the mainland before Numenors downfall
It's the hand you fricking imbecile.
>noooo you can't just take visual inspiration from previous depictions
Not when you claim you actively distance yourself from that previous depiction. But you made lies your profession, so there no surprise you cannot understand what is wrong with it.
>you actively distance yourself from that previous depiction
Nobody has said that, they even got one of the two lead concept artists from the movies to work on the show.
Clearly want to maintain some visual consistency, but with the more famous Tolkien arts as well as the movies and other media
>Nobody has said that,
Liar.
>Doesn't provide proof.

Nobody claimed this. These are your delusions again, chudcel.

This trailer is the best thing I've seen of it so far. I am still extremely sceptical and pessimistic about this show being good. I still think they are going to cut/change a bunch of shit to frick with the lore and make up a bunch of bullshit new characters to fill their woke quota, but I'm still gonna watch the first episode at least.
I want to like it. I'm not trying to be a cynical dickhead who hates everything but this is my favorite nerd franchise and about the only one I genuinely care about.

do you do the same in house of dragons threads
Probably because as a proper Amazon(tm) superfan, he has troubles distinguishing which threads are LotR, House Dragons or Wheel of Time.
>Dagor bragollach directed by the guy who specialises in horror and creature features
This is going to be absolute kino
It will be tv show of year! Just you wait!
Better than capeshit?
she will be better Galadriel than even Blanchet! It will be memberable role for all time!
I know you are just meming but it isn't a question of being better, it's going to be completely different
I'm the movies Galadriel has 11mins screentime total and essentially is a glorified cameo character
On the TV show she is the MC and will have more screentime in just the first episode
So really they are not comparable
She is a Galadriel for a new generation old fans can enjoy too!

i like a lot of the visuals and galadriel is pretty decent but i'm scared all the quota actors are going to be talentless like what usually happens and then there'll be terrible writers or single episode directors who derail the show into superficial woman drama, neglecting the actual plot like wheel of time
it's pretty much confirmed to be superficial woman drama already
the story by the looks of the trailers will revolve around a female elf, a female dwarf, a female human and a female hobbit and an androgynous elrond
im out of the loop how the frick am i supposed to pirate these days? ive just been use piratebay with a vpn. im too lazy to be bother with private trackers or anything like that.

Do you know how the troons first came into being? They were men once...
I doubt the writers have even read the boo-
chuds will claim that this is a fake quote, as they always do.
Wow, they have cursory knowledge of the most basic things. Amazing.
>OMG they're saying the same thing but in a much more obvious and dumb way so the brownskins can understand it1!!!!!!!1 Epic for the win!
The full quote:
damn tolkien was just making it up as he went along, what a hack
It's just his loose notes that were collected and published because readers were so desperate for more material.
Frick. Wrong page.
Here the proper one.
It looks decent but I'm afraid my father will have a heart attack when he sees the blacks.
Is that a heckin dragon when Galady is swimmin' at about 2 minutes in the trailer? War of Wrath flashback?
Dare I say, Ancalagon?
It's probably a sea serpent, so it's a type of water dragon thing
That scenes happens when she's stranded at sea after the shipwreck
The good : Orcs. Sauron themed stuff. The music.
The bad : Everything else.
as a relentless hater of this trainwreck piece of shit, the one thing i will say is the orcs like kind of nice. the other stuff no, music has none of the magic of the original compositions and the sauron stuff revealed so far is grim
Am I the only non-bot in this thread? Stop shilling this shit amazon.
>t. netflix bot
the orcs aren't the only exicting thing in the up and coming Rings of Power! There will be many locations and creatures to explore!
If it wasn't for the forced diversity, I might actually support it and give it a chance, I don't mind a bit of fanfiction.
But it looks like bad fanfiction.
Does Amazon pays for those posts? Every hyped show here from it was a boring cringefest
Just look at the way they type them, it just feels out of character compared to the normal ones. Those corporate monkeys thing they can easily imitate it by using kick ass cool words and fool us all.
Galadriel and Gil-galad drama confirmed!

Sage to the ground. Your shit show will fail, and you should get a real job instead of doing this embarrassing work.
>no comments about the battle of five armies quality cgi
literally only shill bots talk about this show online
I was not sure about Rings of Power, but after the recent trailer I'm definitely thinking about giving it a shot!
so could they dim the tree when everyone wanted to sleep or what?
It alternates between the two trees so when the gold one is bright the silver is dim, visa versa
The silver ones light is less intense iirc and more like star/moonlight
So there is kind of like a day/night cycle of sorts
Curtains. I live in the north and we have 24/7 sunlight for over 2 months in summer. It's not a problem.
Is prime making a show about female bowlers?
I'm sure my favourite moment will be when Sauron declares himself The Lord of the Rings in the season finale. He has to say it, the series won't be worth it if he doesn't.
Did you cry and seethe when Gandalf dropped the title in Fellowship, chudlet?
I was not sure about Rings of Power, but after the recent trailer I'm definitely thinking about giving it a shot!
Ok so which evil fortress is this meant to be? Tol-in-Gaurhoth?
Looks sorta like Detroit
Why does modern cgi look so much worse than cgi from 20 years ago?
I'm so freaking hyped!
Already asked for a day off to watch the show premiere September 2nd
Me too, my boss was more than happy to accommodate because he knew this was going to be the show of a life time.
homies, admit it, you'll watch to see the kino orc designs and other creatures.
oh I'll watch it, but I won't enjoy it
What a sad life you lead. Kys, chud.
Cool paper machete and latex helmets bros.
I wouldn't be surprised if the southern storyline with the orcs, 'Adar', Morgoth cultists and the Latino elf's people end up being some of the most entertaining stuff.
this is how moria orks looked like in the cut contende form lotr
Why did they make those actors wear chainmail? Why not just have them wear t-shirts with chainmail drawn on them? It would save money.
I was at the convention people seriously panicking over nothing.
The Harfoots are a mixture of proto-hobbits from various regions, including the east, the north and harad, they all banded together.
Arondirs mother was a Haradrim and died centuries ago, he decided to be an elf, his father is a white elf, he lives in Tir-Harad which is populated by Haradrim.
The brown Dwarf woman is from harad too, she is in a marriage of unity with the Northern Dwarves.
The Queen of Numenor her mother was a Haradrim concubine.
well at least they've got explanations for it rather than magically sprinkling browns everywhere
thanks, will add those to the next ROP FAQ for incels
Sounds good if true. Got no problem with diversity providing it's legit and not weirdly inserted without context.
>proto-hobbits from various regions
That's not how racial deviation works. You don't magically have hobbits pop up in a variety of people at the same time then just happen to gather up. They origin of one specific people and only then diversify again after thousands of years of breeding. But hey, Tolkien never exactly specified how hobbits came to be so you can just shit on a plate and call it canon.
None of that makes sense in a world where Eru Illuvatar created everyone, and the geography of middle earth manages to rearrange itself into modern Europe after a few thousand years. You can't suddenly bring in ideas about evolutionary theory to a place designed from a creationist POV. That's absurd.
Shit excuse from an aphantasic moron.
Evolution doesn't exist in Arda you dolt. Everything is made by magic sky people.
You'll be demanding to know the physics for how the trees lit up the world next.
Still moronic. This time strawmanning to make up an excuse for shit tier world building.
It's the world Tolkien made. It's not a world with evolution. Man did not evolve from apes in Arda. Everything is made by God and his cronies.
You homosexuals still don't understand what the difference between good world building and shit tier world building is. Instead you yammer on about physics and evolution like that's an argument and not an idiot strawman trying to distract from your utter moronation. You are irredeemable imbeciles.
I didn't bring up evolution, they did.
Its fantasy bro.
You're a moron bro. fr fr
Not an argument
Explain the physics of the trees then, chud.
Explain how the mountain ranges in Middle Earth could have possibly formed given the mechanism of plate tectonics, incel.
what does him being a chad have to do with the "physics of the trees"?
Eru made it that way or something lol. Why are you crying about it?
>brown Dwarf woman is from harad
Because dwarves mirror the exact fricking same ethnicities as men, because frick dwarves and their unique traits as a race, that's why.
This is shit tier world building all for the sake of diversity casting. And they inflict that one one of the masters of world building. Frick those sons of prostitutes and the b***hes they rode in on.
ad hoc justifications after the fact, if they wanted to make a story about the east they could have, instead we get random Black person characters sprinkled across the west of middle earth and Black person extras sprinkled into every scene
very organic!
Bros, I'm so fricking hyped for this series I can't wait.
A palantir is a dangerous tool
The negative backlash of Rings of Power is just a few people complaining. We promise they'll change their tune after watching first episode.
Can someone explain the tolkien scholar meme to me?
It's literally fantasy books. You don't see Robert E Howard scholars talking about Conan or C S Lewis scholars talking about Narnia
Why are there people who literally devote their lives and get degrees in this? Yeah it's fine if you wanna read it, it's a good story but basing academia around it and pretending you're super knowledgeable is idiotic
Because literally all this comes down to is
>we hired our preferred book nerd with a degree
>NUH UH THEYRE NOT THE REAL BOOK NERD WITH A DEGREE HE IS
>NO
>YES
>REEEEE
moronic
whats the meme exactly?
There are Shakespearian scholars. The difference is that scholars for other authors had the job of explaining what they wrote and why they wrote it. Scholars these days have the job of giving opinions.
Rings of Power will have a Galadriel for the new generation! Older fans can enjoy too of course, but girls will look up to her and that will be good.
why do the orcs look like klansmen?
Besides the short hair cute this dude looks fricking KINO as frick. He got that Grifith vibe going.
Why do people dislike this look so much?
Because Griffith isn't in lotr
I don't know if this dude is supposed to be Sauron or not but isn't Sauron supposed to be like Griffith and be angelic looking giving gifts?
that's and she's not playing sauron, just some other baddie. get your record straight before you shill, homosexual.
This has been debunked. The actor in the picture is Anson Boon, who has been confirmed to play Sauron.
Never said it was you fricking moron.
Black person elf
Give me brave heroes and beautiful damsels in distress and I'm happy.
This show seems to be about a woman warrior though wtf is up with that
I will watch this show, I'll pirate it though and make sure to not talk about it with anyone.
If there weren't any Black folk I would pay for it.
>I MEMBER, I MEMBER THE STONE
>OH GALADRIEL SAID THE LINE
>IS THAT GOLLUM? HE WAS FROM THE FILM
I have decided to watch this show (pirating it) but from now on not participate in any Cinemaphile threads about it.
They're all just filled with woke morons calling every criticism "incel" and "chud" so they're just a waste of time.
Falseflagging and ironic shitposting has destroyed this board.
Yep. At this point I think people are lost in their supposed "roles". I think I am everything the ironic shills pretend to be and yet I've never tried to shit up the board by trying to fight people with different politics that mine. It's a waste of time on a side like this. I like Korra, and this board hates it, but I've never tried to shill for it here because I understand this is not the site for that. But the "ironic" shills are so dedicated to their bullshit they are worse that actual shills.
>production budget is a billion dollars
did they spend it all on shilling on Cinemaphile or something?
They can't even afford to buy likes on youtube. Seriously, 6 million views translated to 60k likes. They only bought like 20k that got added early on release. Probably hoped that would be enough to make opinion snowball in their favor. The comments now are all just fake memberberry shitposting.
>every tv show and movie needs to have exactly 50% of Black person characters
>why?
>OOGA BOOGA
will the series have the Anti-Industrialization and Pro-Environmental message like in lotr
Could anyone please explain to me why people are so furious about Amazon expanding upon a sub-race of halflings, or even introducing a new tribe of Dwarves?
In Tolkien's own lore there were several races/tribes which clearly stood out from the rest, but had nothing explained about them, like the Beorlings or the petty dwarves.
Because they are racist.
>Could anyone please explain to me why people are so furious about Amazon expanding upon a sub-race of halflings, or even introducing a new tribe of Dwarves?
Because they're all black for some reason? The new elvish, the new dwarven, the new hobbit, and the new human factions are black.
What's the new elvish faction? I know there's one half-Harad, half-Noldor.
It's because of the reasons for it. They had already decided they wanted to force Black folk into the TV show then made up excuses afterwards.
Isn't that how this works, though? You want to introduce a few faction/race/whatever, so you invent reasons to do so? Is there a different way to go about it?
No. Amazon didn't want to ad a new faction or anything initially. They just wanted to cast Black folk and the new faction/race stuff is just an excuse to do so.
What's wrong with that, exactly? If a justification can be found and it leads to making some people happy, what's the issue?
are you asking what's wrong with tokenization?
There shouldn't need to be a justification. If new factions are introduced there should be a meaning for it. It's the difference between soul and soulless.
Because people want to get mad at something so they searching for things to get mad at.
It doesn't actually matter if it can fit within Tolkien writing, it just matters whether they can whip people into enough of a frenzy that it drowns out the people saying how it could make sense
Worked it out bros
6 million
very anti-semitic post
The show is going to have many suspects for Sauron but the Meteor Man is going to act like Gandalf to fool the viewers but is later revealed as the actual Sauron.
Sauron's going to be one of the hobbits or some shit like that.
> is going to act like Gandalf to fool the viewers
Could see it happening tbh
Sauron is already in Numenor. How else is he going to sink with it?
But that comes later, he needs to be in Eregion first and get involved in all the ring making stuff
The Meteror Man is named "Orean".
Sauron first needs to rebuild Mordor, create the Rings, and wage war upon Middle-Earth. At this point Numernor will get involved, destroy his armies, and capture Sauron alive. That's when he gets to Numenor.
I unironically think Cinemaphile will be BTFO about this capeshit. I just watched trailer and I honestly enjoyed it. (never watched the original capeshit trilogy, mind you).
Yeah same here, I really look forward to dilating my troonyhole while watching this kino and Cinemaphile getting btfo
>I'm a troony
Nice glib post. But also unironically true.
I also pass better than morf.
>I just watched trailer and I honestly enjoyed it
It's a good trailer but the final trailer is the best of the lot (by quite some margin)
Will be released mid August
amazon being allowed to create new lord of the rings canon makes me mad, just leave it alone
