Man this is gonna be rough, not even normies liked rangz, nobody's gonna stick for the second season.
The most expensive show ever, a fucking flop.
If it improves upon the previous season people will watch it. People at large don't care if an old season is bad, as long at it got good after.
I'm not saying it'll be good, just saying that if by chance it is, it'll easily turn the tide around.
>If it improves upon the previous season people will watch it.
it won't improve, they renewed the show right away before listening to what the normalfag audience thought about it >People at large don't care if an old season is bad, as long at it got good after.
what are you smoking? nowadays, with so much content coming out constantly, you need to engage people right away or they simply move to something else. the first season was boring as fuck, that's the worst sin ever for casual audiences, they will never come back to this show no matter how good it gets, that's a filter they won't pass, especially since it's a high fantasy story that requires knowing about lore
So much time passes between seasons that every time there's a new one people treat it like a new thing. If it gets good word of mouth, it'll be successful, no doubt.
>So much time passes between seasons
but that's a problem too, people are expecting wednesday season 2, the new one from the boys, house of the dragon or even one piece now because they liked them in the first place, do you think the same can be said about the witcher, the sandman or any of those terrible disney shows? so why would anyone have expectations about a boring show they couldn't even sit through the first time?

Social engineering.
If blacks are everywhere in media you start to believe it's normal/natural, so you don't resist as hard when it's turned into reality. There are people who unironically think America is 50% black.
I know you're baiting, but we don't know if he was or wasn't, we just know that he wrote LotR specifically as a love letter to his cultural heritage. Writing a fantasy novel based off your lived experience with several distinct cultures does not equal racism. True racism is exceedingly rare.

He stuck it to the actual nazis, so no, it'd be a real stretch to call him a racist.
>White man stands up against other White men and defends israelites >israelites thank him by setting it on fire later
Maybe those German chaps were right about a thing or two.
A nazi wrote Tolkien asking about his heritage and Tolkien replied saying basically "I assume you're asking if I'm israeli, I regret to say I have no blood from the talented people."
He put it more elegantly and the nazi was pretty clearly asking that question.
This was a literal Nazi from the 30s when they were in charge of Germany.

If you read Letters, it's clear he was against racism. But... he was also a traditional Catholic who would judge individual people for their deeds (sometimes quite harshly). Make no mistake, he would be totally cancelled, if he'd live today.
Also: standards change. Orwell considered himself a socialist, while despising everything considered socialist by today's standards. Vonnegut was "leftist" in a live-and-let-live way. These days twitter trannies would call him a literal nazi. And somehow Slaughterhouse-Five would serve as a proof for it.
Remember this whenever the leftards keep sperging how "X would be totally on their side today".

>Orwell considered himself a socialist, while despising everything considered socialist by today's standards.
Orwell was a social democrat by the end of the Spanish Civil War and would be more or less aligned with today's twitter freaks. (AKA reformist capitalism with more state control)
Vonnegut's live and let live ideal is social liberalism and not necessarily left-wing. If anything it's depoliticisation, which makes sense when you consider the time period when Vonnegut and Kerouac were writing. Which was mostly absurdist/existentialist drek that teenagers would gravitate towards.
The point is, most people including writers are full of shit and towed all sorts of lines that were convenient, whether it was for book publishers or whatever psycho was running a scare campaign in the government. The situation is the same now. Only difference is who's in charge and what scapegoat is in this week.

Ah yes I am sure that is totally why Britain fought Germany... because ze Germans were big mean racists!
You people are so fucking stupid it is astounding.
The USA still had racial segregation yet were fighting the Germans.
i enjoyed s1 but the writing and dialogue was just really not good. they try so hard to have every single conversation have "weight" and they all just sound like teenagers trying to be deep. and fuck the entire harfoot arc, i hope they all get raped by orcs.
also, the fabled master elven smith didn't know about metal alloys?
There was a sex scene between Galadriel and Sauron that got deleted because of backlash over Amazon going hard R-rated for the series. Pretty sure they digitally concealed a lot of shots of her in the see through dress, too.

it never fails to make me laugh how Russians saw a race of cartoonishly evil backstabbing scummy monsters whose favorite pastimes are pillaging and raping and torturing, and thought to themselves "is this guy shit talking US?"

Honestly if Tolkien had loose inspiration from any real world counterpart for orcs they would be Mongolians or some other steppe tribe.

Tried to be LotR but GoT. The writing wasn't very good. Still, it's got another season coming up, right?
>Still, it's got another season coming up, right?
Another season no one will watch or care about in the slightest except to laugh at.
If it improves upon the previous season people will watch it. People at large don't care if an old season is bad, as long at it got good after.
I'm not saying it'll be good, just saying that if by chance it is, it'll easily turn the tide around.
The ongoing strike gives it a chance considering there will be dearth of content again and people will watch anything that gets released

I'm not too confident in it

It is mostly inflated budget so Bezos can avoid paying taxes.

MASSIVE tax write-off
sunken cost etc

More like inentionally not included. The entire middle earth was a love letter to British Isle cultures. Of course he didn't include any other races.

really makes you wonder.
The British were the originators of the race theory, the Germans just implemented it as they saw fit.
there were nazis in world war 1?
A nazi wrote Tolkien asking about his heritage and Tolkien replied saying basically "I assume you're asking if I'm israeli, I regret to say I have no blood from the talented people."
He put it more elegantly and the nazi was pretty clearly asking that question.

Tolkien had Faramir ask openly what lies and threats had brought the young Harad warrior, he'd just killed himself, all the way to Gonder.
Tolkien fought during World War I, there were no nazis back then you dum dum. Now eat your cheese.
Ah yes I am sure that is totally why Britain fought Germany... because ze Germans were big mean racists!
You people are so fucking stupid it is astounding.

Why are the authors all dwarves?
Tolkien admitted that he thought of the Dwarves as similar to israelites.
Stop noticing.

nipples are one of the first things a baby sees in its life, you retarded puritan
It's fake, she would never
You want the guy’s penis to be visible instead, don’t you?
There was a sex scene between Galadriel and Sauron that got deleted because of backlash over Amazon going hard R-rated for the series. Pretty sure they digitally concealed a lot of shots of her in the see through dress, too.
It's OK if kids see rat nipples

Im still waiting for the black transbian with a peg leg so this all can finally become the comedic parody of life anons predicted 10 years ago
>Ignored by Tolkien.
I remember the Russian fantasy writers making books how Tolkien was wrong and the Orcs were actually good.
it never fails to make me laugh how Russians saw a race of cartoonishly evil backstabbing scummy monsters whose favorite pastimes are pillaging and raping and torturing, and thought to themselves "is this guy shit talking US?"
US libs joined the Russians and consider the Tolkien Orcs as Blacks and feel its racist to portray them as an evil race.
Honestly if Tolkien had loose inspiration from any real world counterpart for orcs they would be Mongolians or some other steppe tribe.
how was it ignored by tolkein if he created that universe?
Literally ESG scores happened.
The two black characters were unironically the best ones on the show.
