They're all supposed to giants as the bloodlines hadn't gotten diluted yet with filthy mainlanders. So, him not towering over the rest of the numenoreans isn't that big of a deal. Not as much as Aragorn being average sized in the LOTR trilogy anyway. And only autists cared about that.
Doesn't look like anything Renaissance. It looks like some quasi-Roman with a sprinch of medieval clothing. And I don't know what the frick is that "armor".
That breastplate is offensive in how bad and amateur it is. It's incredible how since the beginning of film, filmmakers have absolutely refused to learn how armour is supposed to look on and fit people. That goes for the LoTR movies too, armour always looks absolutely awful
I enjoy the movies but I stopped wearing the rose tinted glasses years ago. They put the same amount of effort into making the armour look real and practical as any other fantasy or period movie does. That being next to no effort. Armour not fitting and not fulfilling its purpose as armour is apparent in every scene that it's shown in. To deny this shows someone as either a liar or just totally uninformed on how armour works. The latter is fine of course, but I see too many of the former desperately trying to defend the movies against the slightest dose of reality.
?t=1498
Nah you're probably just an autistic nitpicky moron, the armours were great, not just as story telling aides to the civilizations they were meant to come from but also, as much as is possible with fantasy designs, well constructed and thought out
>They put the same amount of effort into making the armour look real and practical as any other fantasy or period movie does
you clearly haven't seen the appendices
they put an extreme amount of effort into making the armour. They made each link of chainmail in house, out of metal, by hand.
I think what you're actually complaining about is that you don't like the design, ie, it doesn't conform to some standard of 'realism' that you have.
That factoid gets shared a lot to back up claims about the effort they put in, but it doesn't matter when the chainmail armour looks like shit, is just butted mail instead of riveted, and it isn't tailored at all properly like how mail is supposed to be worn.
For all we know they could be lying about how much of it was made in house, because it's so bargain bin quality that it would be a waste of time making it instead of buying ready made coifs, because the coifs they have look like what you see peddled online and at ren fairs, and what you see used in every other fantasy or medieval movie. I would be impressed if it was riveted and had a padded backing sewn into it, you know, like real mail, instead of butted rings flopping about loosely on peoples' heads and well below their jaws.
>I think what you're actually complaining about is that you don't like the design, ie, it doesn't conform to some standard of 'realism' that you have.
LoTR may be a fantasy setting but the laws of physics still apply to every day shit, like how people move and how wearing impractical shit affects them, and the purpose that wearing armour is supposed to serve. To anyone with even a basic understanding of armour, weapons and combat, it's incredibly obvious when the movie making tropes surrounding them show their face. All they do is remind you that you're watching a movie, the immersion is broken.
they wanted the characters to "reflect what the world actually looks like" without asians.
and write the story tolkien never wrote.. whatever that means
>So i suppose Elendil and Isildur in this fanfiction are brothers, instead of father/son?.
What, no
The actor of Isildur is 26 and Elendil 56,
Anarion is not cut, but he is 'off-screen' so probably make an appearance in s2 or 3
>CG horses
stop falling for Cinemaphile memes
They were actually used from time to time but only in situations where the risk to the horse/rider were deemed too high like in certain combat scenes
I only just noticed that what she is wearing under the breastplate is a shirt printed to look like scale armour, complete with printed sleeves. You can see it's a shirt by how closely fitted it is an the creases.
How large was the budget again?
They also thought leaving the armor of the fricking queen corroded and filthy would be more fitting than giving everything an immaculate shining golden finish. Guess metal shine wasn't part of the 3D printer settings.
I don't think it's printed, I think it's semi flexible vacuum formed plastic.
Also boob armour because of course no fantasy or medieval movie would be complete without it.
I miss her so much bros, so much care and attention to detail, made with so much love and passion and tremendous skill, how the frick was New Zealand full of so much talented people back then?
unironically a different time and even then the trilogy was lightning in a bottle good, every subsequent tolkien adaptation is doomed to be utterly mogged
GoT succesfully deconstructed pseudo-medieval fantasy genre. It proved it needs to be adult-oriented to properly work. You just can't go back to making family-friendly shit again. It won't work. Have you tried rereading or rewatching LOTR after GoT? I've tried and i literally couldn't finish it because of how childish and simplistic it was. Or maybe i'm just an adult, i don't know. I liked LOTR as a kid and teenager. But now? It's literally marvel-tier worldview.
My point is, the show will be a massive dissapointment, despite looking great and having good writers behind it. I'm more excited about House of the Dragon with based Paddy Considine in it tbh. Screencap this post. I'm going to be proven right soon.
No, GoT is cheap subversion layered with shocking violence and porn. I would even say it's chiefly responsible for the dire state of television shows today. LoTR is endlessly rewatchable by comparison.
>Have you tried rereading or rewatching LOTR after GoT?
Yes. The moment Sam and Frodo depart Shire and you get those landscape views it was... cathartic, honestly. It was the first time I reached LOTR in over 7 years and it just holds up. The moment when Boromir breaks down in Lothlorien and evokes imagery of the White Tower... there's just nothing like it.
This is bait. LOTR is nothing like the Marvel. Now shush, i'm gonna watch a scene in which Legolas kills cartoonish bad guys while quipping and literally skateboarding on a shield.
Nah he is right, shit is really well made, same for the Sequel Trilogy. The artists that work on those movies/shows are very talented and do their best, the shit comes about direction, writing and the casting.
So, what you're saying is, you're doing it for free?
Nah he is right, shit is really well made, same for the Sequel Trilogy. The artists that work on those movies/shows are very talented and do their best, the shit comes about direction, writing and the casting.
Nothing can be aesthetically pleasing anymore. Everything has to look corny and lame. Art direction creature design armor it's all about looking as stupid as possible. Gone are the days of cool looking things. A gem sneaks through every once in a while, but it's rare these days.
Another pic included with the Numenorean set but got to be something different.
1st age probably, seems shes covered in ash and there are bodies in the background
I wouldn't be surprised if they have her be at the Dagor Bragollach with her brothers
The only things I've liked so far are distance shots of the countryside which seemed to be filled with Black folk. The wide shots of the cities and the sword hilts some of the characters are carrying.
>humans >female warriors
imagine being dumb enough to believe this could even be called "inspired" by LOTR. may as well be riding with orcs in how absurdly culturally insensitive it is.
>Video had less than a thousand views >already dozens of comments praising it
Not sure if those are Amazon drones on damage control or genuine normie morons that will eat up anything throw at them. I hope this shit fails.
I realize normies ruin everything. Look no further than the MCU. I don't have any faith in them having taste in anything. I just hope this LotR fanfiction is so bad that not even normies can stand it.
I thought for one sec she would look at the camera and wink, not even joking. I got the impression they toned this kind of shit down but it still cringe.
Galadriel with that potato face isn't doing it for me. I loved the elf casting in LoTR trilogy, they actually had an ethereal aura to them, now they're just people with pointy ears

ive traveled all over turkey, ive visted the most popular and the most obscure churches and mosques and no stone, no marble is that processed
Indeed. You can see they spend a good money on this but still looks cheap, and that cleanliness is half of that. GoT and the LotR movies have a much more natural looking. I bet it's the bad mix of digital and CGI, I mean look at the bulding to the right, it's clearly CGI.
Anon, do you realise that this is probably either an Elven city or Numenor, and as such is the one of the most technologically advanced places in Middle-Earth? Did you even fricking read the books?
>as such is the one of the most technologically advanced places in Middle-Earth?
lol they fight with swords and horses but are technologically advanced enough to have roombas. Frick off, c**t.
What part of the Akallabeth did you not understand? The incredible craftsmanship of the Numenoreans or that fact that it’s a literal paradise raised out of the sea specifically for them? Perhaps both?
The opening bit was fricking kino, never thought I would get to see anything like this in live action when I first read the Silm.
Im guessing that is actually how the show opens
>I look at that image and feel nothing
Have you read the Silmarillion? That's the kind of shit book readers always imagined but never thought would be done onscreen.
Yes I have read the silmarillion. Why would you want to see that on screen in glossy CGI? Like one guy says it looks like elden ring. Are ted nasmith's illustrations and your imagination not enough?

Cant they show women strenght more subtle?
The problem with the sets is they don't look the slightest bit real. They can show architectural perfection as much as they want but when they put no effort into making it look real and lived in, it will just look like a fake movie set, especially in hi res production photos

Since Morgoth all elves became cucks, those elven maids lust for Urukhai love on their songs, it's disgusting.
i appreciate that they went for a late Roman/Byzantine-like design, like Tolkien pictured it. at the very least they're paying some attention to the writing
to be honest i was dissapointed from the first teaser and i almost lost my hype for the whole series since im a huge fan, but this trailer gave me the goosebumps i needed and seems much more better! a little bit of faith restored!

I meant the overall quality, it's amateurish.
It makes sense. It looks quasi-roman because thousands of years later you have LOTR, which looks quasi-medieval.
Looks cheap and stupid.
That breastplate is offensive in how bad and amateur it is. It's incredible how since the beginning of film, filmmakers have absolutely refused to learn how armour is supposed to look on and fit people. That goes for the LoTR movies too, armour always looks absolutely awful

a shitty one, looks like a korean cheap mmo
>adult is when things are edgy
>But now? It's literally marvel-tier worldview.
Which is exactly why it will be successful
This is bait. LOTR is nothing like the Marvel. Now shush, i'm gonna watch a scene in which Legolas kills cartoonish bad guys while quipping and literally skateboarding on a shield.
i wouldnt worry both shows will be trash
>looking great and having good writers behind it
Lol, where?
>writers from breaking bad, better call saul, mad men and sopranos arent good
So, where did the 200 million dollars go? Because they sure as shit didn't go towards the costume department...
Well the production value checks out. It's always nice to see armor actually looking like legit armor.
How much are they paying you? I'd honestly be interested in shilling Amazon's shit and I know for a fact I could do a much better job than you.
Nothing at all. Just like the cost of me living in your head.
So, what you're saying is, you're doing it for free?
Nah he is right, shit is really well made, same for the Sequel Trilogy. The artists that work on those movies/shows are very talented and do their best, the shit comes about direction, writing and the casting.
(you)
Nothing can be aesthetically pleasing anymore. Everything has to look corny and lame. Art direction creature design armor it's all about looking as stupid as possible. Gone are the days of cool looking things. A gem sneaks through every once in a while, but it's rare these days.
Another pic included with the Numenorean set but got to be something different.
1st age probably, seems shes covered in ash and there are bodies in the background
I wouldn't be surprised if they have her be at the Dagor Bragollach with her brothers
>Dagor Bragollach
no way they can do it justice, dagor was basically local nuclear holocaust
>no way they can do it justice
You are probably right but they are definitely doing it
The only things I've liked so far are distance shots of the countryside which seemed to be filled with Black folk. The wide shots of the cities and the sword hilts some of the characters are carrying.
Don't care cancelling my prime in september btw
>humans
>female warriors
imagine being dumb enough to believe this could even be called "inspired" by LOTR. may as well be riding with orcs in how absurdly culturally insensitive it is.
Some of the Numenroeans would have been descendants of the Haladin, chud. Their training of female warriors was legendary.
any money they have a 'good orc' at some point.
IT'S HERE 2.5 MINS LONG
GOGOGO
ABOSUTE KINO
APPOLOGISE !!!!
Pros
>production value
>Moffyd is a cute
Cons
>everything else
I know they spent hundreds of millions on this, but it looks cheap and soulless.
>Video had less than a thousand views
>already dozens of comments praising it
Not sure if those are Amazon drones on damage control or genuine normie morons that will eat up anything throw at them. I hope this shit fails.
Probably both, if they had "the balls" to leave the comment section on you bet it's because they have a lot of control.
Man this looks bad. Not Star Wars levels of bad, but cheap and bland.
If your faith in normies hasn't been lost over the past two years I don't know what else would kill it
I realize normies ruin everything. Look no further than the MCU. I don't have any faith in them having taste in anything. I just hope this LotR fanfiction is so bad that not even normies can stand it.
>MCU
unironically go fricking have a nice day you child
Grow up with your cancerous cartoons
>ABOSUTE KINO
>APPOLOGISE !!!!
KEK
Also the acting is far worse than I expected
not bad I like the song the dialogue doesn't sound terrible still not digging a lot of the armor the weapons seem to be on point though
OATH OF FEANOR IN THE TEASER
OATH OF FRICKING FEANOR
Here, sons of Feanor
>you havent seen... *smug selfaware face might as well be talking straight to the audience*... what I have seen
so fricking bad lmao
I thought for one sec she would look at the camera and wink, not even joking. I got the impression they toned this kind of shit down but it still cringe.
Yeah it's blatantly there just to be in the trailer.
Unreal. Like something from 9fast9furious.
Well it looks good atleast. Hopefully the time compression won't kill it
Galadriel with that potato face isn't doing it for me. I loved the elf casting in LoTR trilogy, they actually had an ethereal aura to them, now they're just people with pointy ears
They really poured a lot of money into the comment section.
OH NO NO NO NO
Guys the comments to the video are praising the teaser, there's barely any evil can't create quotes.
>Oh no! We're all so deeply invested in the israelitetube wars!
Fricking kys, not watching any of this nonsense.
BIG MAD
Is this not the thread for people being mad at LOTR being turned into wheel of joggers?
No it's the thread for laughing at dipshits who think this show will flop.
Anon, it has already flopped.
Everybody who is aware of it is laughing AT it.
Check the comments under the video
Right, and the rotten tomatoes score will be very high, too.
Lol
LMAO
>and the rotten tomatoes score will be very high, too.
Oh no, I'm sure butthurt chuds will review bomb the shit out of the show even the ones who aren't going to watch it. Still going to be a success though. Stay mad.
Right, just like Black Panther.
And I'm sureyou will vote 10/10 before even watching it out of spite, woke incel
Meanwhile I won't watch, so I win 😉
>dude trust me, comment sections are legit. They don't delete comments at all and there's no hired shills.
>FAKE VOTES FAKE COMMENTS
>IT"S ALL RIGGED I SAY!!!!!! RIGGED!!!!!!
Oh sweet summer child.
literally all comments are
"high production value but.."
"wow when i heard music from the movies i cried"
and shit like that
Yep, all hypetards, franchisetards and muh budget gays
mine was deleted immediately
Proof?
I mean... I posted and it was removed, what kind of proof can I give you when it no longer exists?
>no proof
Ok then
Based moron, it was removed, how can I provide proof for something that no longer exists, does this compute for you?
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”
― JRR Tolkien
>still no proof
wow
What you said? Gonna try something similar and watch the result
maybe they realized they only hurting themselves by being bitter chuds and hating everything mindlessly. If it's good they won't enjoy it with that chud attitude. They need to drop it.
>If it's good
you're proving my point, mate. You're not even allowing the possibility for it to be good.
>You're not even allowing the possibility for it to be good.
I've seen enough you stupid shitstain.
>the production is lead by anti-White ideologues
>the corporation sabotages the production with its wokehomosexual guidelines from committees of ideologues.
>the casting is fricked all to hell, it's just bad
>the armor is bad
>the promotional campaigns were pozzed
>the writing will of course be pozzed too, and those homosexuals don't understand myth or history. It will be garbage.

Stage 1
>you're crazy, this is not happening
Stage 2
>ok, it's happening but not like you think
Stage 3
>ok, it's happening by it's actually good
Stage 4
>frick white people
Just fricking skip it all. Everyone knows about the "diversity & inclusion" guidelines and only a brainwashed wokehomosexual will fall for that shit. We know that LotR is a story in the European mythopoeic tradition and it's about White people. You're just a rabidly anti-White c**t and then you think that makes you virtuous. You are not.
Eat shit and go shoot a grocery store, chinless incel channer chud. Not everyone thinks you're a hero
I think he's a hero and you're a c**t.
Go shoot a grocery store
That struck a nerve didn't it. It all hinges on how you've been propagandized into thinking that hating White people makes you virtuous. You are not virtuous. You're just a dumbass that is not capable of thinking critically. You've never thought critically about the cherry-picked history that was presented to you, or the psychologically manipulative Hollywood media you've consumed. I bet you cried for Trayvon Martin who was shot while smashing a man's head on the sidewalk, and then you thought that means you're a good person. What a fricking joke. A massive, lifelong joke.
>le Hollywood mznipulation
>regurgitate all the /misc/ garbage he can
You were groomed by nazis all along and now you are a nazi moron. You are not a rebel, you're a chinless nerds who get brain fricked by an animé website. You are not oppressed, you're just a midwit white nerd with no culture or media literacy. In other word, a filthy channer

Yep.

moron
Keep up God's work, anon.
>literally proving him right
It't not good.
It's hate-fiction with forced diversity.
Name one good movie ever made under that contrarian premise
Took away my after 1 sec, probably a bot.
Interesting.
STOP THE COUNT!
what mp3 downloader is that
I think is called YouTube Mp3. It was good but now is shit, still works but leads you to a ton of mirror sites. I just forgot to disable.
>the past is dead

Yeah, nah, frick you. This is the hill I'll die on. This is the hill I'll bury you under.
>you're a loose canon, Galadriel. Give up your sword.

>And your other sword

Dialogue.
I'm shocked they dared to use colour. I'm sure it's just a fluke and it's all earth tones and leather in the main show.
>WE'RE SAFE INNIT GUV
Looks terrible.
Looks good you crybabys
man it just looks like that warcraft movie set
no city, no stone anywhere in the world is ever that clean and polished, ever
ive traveled all over turkey, ive visted the most popular and the most obscure churches and mosques and no stone, no marble is that processed
Indeed. You can see they spend a good money on this but still looks cheap, and that cleanliness is half of that. GoT and the LotR movies have a much more natural looking. I bet it's the bad mix of digital and CGI, I mean look at the bulding to the right, it's clearly CGI.
>GOT
lol. But atleast it's a step up from the visuals of the hobbit
even the best resourced, processed and preserved marble stone has slight imperfections
COME ON HOW DOES NO ONE THINK OF THIS SHIT
wrong
If anything the scale is disappointing. Looks smaller than a village's town square.
My brother in Christ that's an early 20th century building made of fricking sandstone.
Anon, do you realise that this is probably either an Elven city or Numenor, and as such is the one of the most technologically advanced places in Middle-Earth? Did you even fricking read the books?
>as such is the one of the most technologically advanced places in Middle-Earth?
lol they fight with swords and horses but are technologically advanced enough to have roombas. Frick off, c**t.
Nobody mentioned roombas, chud
What incredibly advanced technology do they have then that allows their town to look like it was just finished being built by corpo film production?
What part of the Akallabeth did you not understand? The incredible craftsmanship of the Numenoreans or that fact that it’s a literal paradise raised out of the sea specifically for them? Perhaps both?
It's probably Armenelos, which it why it should have a sense of gravitas that isn't bestowed by spray painted craft styrofoam
Black people = not Middle Earth
The opening bit was fricking kino, never thought I would get to see anything like this in live action when I first read the Silm.
Im guessing that is actually how the show opens
shit 4got pic
ya even if it turns out to be shit if we get a 5 minute prologue like lotr that'll be cool
Elden Ring DLC looks good
how is this kino dude this is just over abundant CGI. I look at that image and feel nothing
>I look at that image and feel nothing
Have you read the Silmarillion? That's the kind of shit book readers always imagined but never thought would be done onscreen.
Yes I have read the silmarillion. Why would you want to see that on screen in glossy CGI? Like one guy says it looks like elden ring. Are ted nasmith's illustrations and your imagination not enough?
I’ve read all the books but literally couldn’t imagine anything that was going on until I saw the films
Is this a self deprecating joke?
It’s the truth. Why does everything have to veiled in several layers of irony for you fricking zoomer shits
So you're actually telling me that you read the books and could not envision a single building or landscape in your mind and had to watch the movies to get that? Tolkien describes landscapes and buildings in autistic detail in every chapter. Literally paragraphs describing a hillside and shit like that
I still can’t imagine most of the stuff in the Silmarillion even after seeing illustrations of it. I need this TV show
>I can't imagine what this looks like
>even while looking at an illustration of what it looks like
>no zoomer this is not some ironic joke
ok moron
Unless I’m looking back and forth between an illustration and the page in reading I cannot envision it. Don’t know why that’s so hard for you to understand but many people struggle with this
Wait you're serious? Just because you relate to a bunch of idiots on twitter does not make your situation any better. If anything that should make you feel worse. When I envision an apple in my head it's #1. Did you read growing up?
>Just because you relate to a bunch of idiots on twitter does not make your situation any better
I’m not saying it does, I’m just saying it’s an actual phenomenon since you seem to not believe me
>Did you read growing up?
All the time until I read the Silmarillion when I was 12, which made me give up reading
Alright fair enough man. I wish you luck with your reading problems
>All the time until I read the Silmarillion when I was 12, which made me give up reading
This show will not be the Silmarillion, just so you know
It will have flashbacks to it, as seen in the trailer
Admitting that you're a soulless NPC takes guts. Now go back
bahahaha
he honestly got me good
yeah it was a funny joke, honestly he could do well in a show
Sorry to hear that you are a npc
>book readers always imagined
yeah and it looks better in my head
seen artists doing better images for numenor soldiers and equipment before this series lol
Ooooh Elden riiing
Kino
Is that Sauron taking mortal form in the fire?
Khazad-dum
Damn modded Skyrim is looking pretty bad.
Wow, PS4 graphics looks great man!
this is a joke, right?
No way this bullshit isnt a money laundering scheme.
How are green plants growing underground? It's like the people making this have the knowledge-base of 7 years olds. They don't even understand how plants work.
it looks like there's sunlight coming from the top right
moss, homie
Accellerate the contradictions.
>How are green plants growing underground?
They have some 'windows' for natural light and obviously water being underground
There was light entering on Balins tomb in the movies anyway, not something the show completely invented
>There was light entering on Balins tomb in the movies anyway
A single shaft of light from a tiny portal, in one single room relatively small chamber. Frick off.
That place is an OSHA nightmare. I can only imagine the morning commune involves a dozen or so dwarves falling to their deaths each day. Would rails and hand-guards really spoil the look of their PS3 rendering?
wow more of the same trash
looks like shit
This shit is going to make game of thrones homosexual seethe isn't it? It's already happening lol
Oh look, it's more feminist fantasy trash.
Pass.
why do even the men have tit-armor?
We are at Shill-con 1. There will be worse shilling than even Witcher had.
>tolkien leaves behind a drawing of a specific type of helmets unique to numenor
>nah cief they be sutton hoo homies an sheeit, it be grand
Buuh mid fr fr
I think they got the hint from pushing that black dwarf negress and the black elf so hard a few months back
fricking hilarious
>2 gazillion $
>Todd Howard got in on the hollywood money laundering racket
Why is a woman the "leader" in every single group photo Ive seen?
>Put up the sword
>You didnt see what i saw
>I saw enough
>You didnt see what i saw
Why do they need to shove "stronk women taking over men" scene in every fricking piece of promo?
It looks out of place like a piece of dirt in a dish plate.
Cant they show women strenght more subtle?
Eh I'll give it a go for a couple episodes before dropping it if I don't like it. Hope it proves me wrong but a little pessimistic.
Do I care enough to type a paragraph about how the costume design in a still doesn't look like actual medieval garb? No.
Seems like hope is not dead - yet.
The problem with the sets is they don't look the slightest bit real. They can show architectural perfection as much as they want but when they put no effort into making it look real and lived in, it will just look like a fake movie set, especially in hi res production photos
WHY ARE THE HOBBITS SO FRICKING DIRTY AND FILTHY AND UNKEMPT?!!!!
Hobbits are all about clean,comfy homes and settings. This wandering Dindu shit is by far the most telling sign they dont understand the source material
It's funny how the men look so clean, also the dwarves, but the hobbits are the crackheads of the middle earth.
>Dwarves mining all day look perfectly
>fricking hobbits look like methheads
I hate these fricking writers.
>king durin looks like they dragged him out of a corner of an irish pub
Don't get me started on how cheap everything about Numenor looks

>I've saw.
You know not what I saw
>I saw enough
YOU DISGUTSING MALE FRICK KEK YOU DOUNT UNDERSTAND U SAW NOT WHAT I SAW LISTEN TO ME BETA KEK
Gonna be scenes like that in every eipsode 100%. This is gonna get FRICKING AWESEOME TO LIVE WATCH WITH MY CHUD BROTHERS:
>You know not what I saw
>I saw enough
>YOU SAW NOT WHAT I SAW
>Shut up, you are drunk again
Since Morgoth all elves became cucks, those elven maids lust for Urukhai love on their songs, it's disgusting.
i will be watching this with interest. It's fine to be disappointed.
i try to avoid it whenever i can, life's just easier that wy
it looks shit is a good enough reason not to bother, the main antagonists will be either cgi alien looking shite or a ebil white male. Yawn.
Me and the lads right before we slaughter some Teleri fricking shits
Stop shilling u ficking moron, frick off. Go to reddit u homosexual.
>edgy goth faces
>looks like full cgi
>giant swords
>mile long hilts
LMAO
They will gradually increase the diversity as the season progresses.
They don't want to explicitly scare every white nerd away from the start.
i appreciate that they went for a late Roman/Byzantine-like design, like Tolkien pictured it. at the very least they're paying some attention to the writing
>at the very least they're paying some attention to the writing
keep making excuses, hype-kun
>make a comment on the partial accuracy in the art department
>LOL kEeP MaKiNg ExCuSeS, ShIlL!
israelites must ruin everything
looks very shit, shills are gays
This looks so cheap and shitty. The horses look like the most expensive part of this fiasco.
horse armor looks like mace tyrells chain mail fricking dogshit tier
That image is upsetting
Aren't all the horses cg?
to be honest i was dissapointed from the first teaser and i almost lost my hype for the whole series since im a huge fan, but this trailer gave me the goosebumps i needed and seems much more better! a little bit of faith restored!
>.05 cents have been deposited into your Amazon Prime account
Who pays for all the anti-Amazon shills? Disney? HBO?
>scale breastplates
that armor looks awful. it's obviously plastic.
mite b gud
Just checked, shit is falling down.
lel imagine how many it'd have if you didn't have to go through the effort of getting an extension to bring back the dislikes. Even with however many millions amazog can drop on this it still comes out looking cheap and tacky, after the Wheel of Time I knew it'd be as bad
frick off you pathetic shill
