Tolkien's own son keeping things intact is already an exception not he rule, it was bound to happen eventually, usually the author's own son sells the frick out right after the father dies.
Christopher Tolkien genuinely cared for a simple reason, The Hobbit was born from bedtime stories JRRT created for him when he was a kid. It's easy to understand why protecting his father's legacy was so important for him.
His own children have no such personal attachment to LotR and the rest of Tolkien's creations, they just see easy money.
Christopher spent a lot of time compiling his fathers notes into a workable narrative for the Silmarillion, almost as much as his father did. You think one kid would care
Probably all went to shit as he negotiated the contract and it was pretty onois on lore. If he was still around it would definitely be a different show. He thought Jackson took too many liberties with characterizations and wrote the next batch of deals to prevent it.

>This isn’t Tolkien, this is third rate fanfiction
No matter the personal writing ability of the authors, fanfic writers actually care about the material, or they wouldn't write a fanfic to begin with. In my own experience even the worst fanfics about a super elvish Mary Sue self insert seducing Sauron have actually a better grasp of the setting and the source material than RoP.
I don't remember any bad fanfic writers who ever wrote second age Galadriel as young brash perpetually angry warrior princess, as an example.
The only kind of fanfic I can compare RoP with are the like of My Immortals. It takes an aggressive, special kind of incompetence to fail at this level.
It's just the approved PR line she can give when asked about S2, probably held by all sorts of NDA clauses atm.
She wouldn't even say when S2 is coming out even though everybody knows it's going to be Fall this year.
That's how Tolkien's writing was. Every character was secretly perfidious and greedy. A pessimistic portrayal of the human condition. He was always ready to add political intrigue, a hot and heavy forbidden tryst, and of course he was always talking about the tax policies of the various races and nations. Good old Tolkien. I am glad Amazon are honoring his vision.
>when asked in a recent interview Morfydd Clark said a dream role would be to co-star with Aimee Lou Wood in a fantasy romance directed by Baz Luhrmann
Holy kino
Why didn't they do a Fall of Arnor series? It would be literally game of thrones as the witch king is let off his leash during Sauron's absence and he creates an evil kingdom of all sorts of wraiths, undead, evil sorciers, orcs and monsters while driving emotional and political wedges against the three families fighting him till they all collapse and they he walks away leaving everything outside the shire plague ridden post apocalyptic ruin filled with trolls and barrow wrights.
There is only just a basic outline that cribs from the bickering of charlemagne's descendents and the whole story is corrupt intrigue while the force of evil slowly chip away at them.
>Why didn't they do a Fall of Arnor series? It would be literally game of thrones
They wanted ROP to be more like the antithesis of GOT so they won't be doing much in the way of backstabby politics, nihilism and the general grim-ness those kind of shows have
I want my hobbit slinger militia kino
they lost a legion of men in the last battle against the Witch king and probably contributed to the insular nature of the hobbit culture losing all those men.
Didn’t Amazon lose like hundreds of millions of dollars on this project due to the viewership tanking just after the first episode?
I seriously don’t understand how these corporations can dump BILLIONS of dollars into a project, lose hundreds of millions and still continue to put out content that is costing them even more money.
>Didn’t Amazon lose like hundreds of millions of dollars on this project due to the viewership tanking just after the first episode?
Amazon doesn't care about losing money as long as it gets them in a dominant position in the market, that's their deal. ROP didn't do that either though
But it did though, according to a new report by THR, Rings of Power lost quite a few viewers, much more than it would like, as the season progressed. Concerning viewership data released by THR reveals that less than half of US and international viewers actually watched the entire first season.
>not a good sign.
The biggest corporation in the history of the world just reported record profits across all business sectors.
I think they will be fine lol
They paid the family for five seasons as part of the licensing. They are obligated to produce five seasons to drive sales of the families other properties or pay an exit clause.
>How is this getting a Season 2?
Because Amazon wanted two well known fantasy shows so they could have WOT or ROP air a new season every year for the next decade
They already starting physically working on S3 last month
>How is this getting a Season 2?
Because they are obligated by contract to do 5 seasons. Its true. It doesn't matter that RoPe ended only as the 15th most matched show of 2022 in Nielsen. They have spend more money on this shit
Honestly the whole thing makes sense from the perspective of Bezos management philosophy. As far as tech guys, they underpay their new hires ands throw shit at the wall and use turn over to select talent combined with Bezos not thinking creative content takes any skill to make (true) so you get this, underwhelming new faces thrown on an expensive project to sink or swim.
Baddies good... or...
Baddies bad...?
Coming from a feminist leftist Hollywood actress, does she mean 'israel-type baddies' or 'hamas-type baddies'??
I'm guessing white patriarchy baddies
She meant villians
Oh. So more muslims then
More Galadriel then.
Sounds like Amazon is finally listening and adding more white males
she's so fricking ugly
>villains
Anon...that's not what baddies mean
Shan't be watching unless morf is doing full frontal nude scenes.
chris tolkien must've been a shit father for his kids to allow this raping of their families greatest work
I’m assuming whenever the see the newer shit adaptions they’re always thinking:
>okay, it might be shit, but at least it’s better than the Ralph Bakshi adaptation
his kids actively encourage this shit
they publish "scientific papers" about his work...
>the guy who married israeli was the driving factor in RoPe
I always take joy in reminding people that the Lord of Ring: Gollum had official Third Age license blessing while Power Rings or whatever the name of amazon show is doesn't.
Game licensing doesn't mean frick all though. It's been owned by israeli c**ts since back in the 60s when JRR Tolkien sold the rights.
nah, the youngest one is just an utter moron
the first born is dead and he protected it from the israelites for all his life
Not an quote of what JRR Tolkien said but ok
Tolkien's own son keeping things intact is already an exception not he rule, it was bound to happen eventually, usually the author's own son sells the frick out right after the father dies.

Christopher spent a lot of time compiling his fathers notes into a workable narrative for the Silmarillion, almost as much as his father did. You think one kid would care
He let his oldest so get molested by another professor
anon they've already literally been paid hundreds of millions of dollars.
Christopher Tolkien who opposed this shit suddenly died, and the family didn't have the balls to say "no" to Bezos
Probably all went to shit as he negotiated the contract and it was pretty onois on lore. If he was still around it would definitely be a different show. He thought Jackson took too many liberties with characterizations and wrote the next batch of deals to prevent it.
she is talking about the writers
It was fun watching her scream as she burned alive in Saint Maud
I wanna frick her so bad bros
I hate this colbert-hugging, virtue signalling rat so much it's unreal.

Accurate.

She has no lips, no breasts, no ass, fattie
Bong women are done for lmao
They just casting wrong bongs always
yuck.
there better be some trans characters.
"Baddies" just refers to the quality of the episodes.
They promised us elf breasts in season 1 so we better get Hobbit sex in season 2.
Why would Tolkien appreciators get excited?
This isn’t Tolkien, this is third rate fanfiction set in a knockoff middle earth.
Word is the verified Tolkien experts are very excited!
>This isn’t Tolkien, this is third rate fanfiction

They must have spent that 1 billion making her look good in Rings of Power because god damn she is repulsive.
Here's your young, tall, and beautiful elven princess bro.
>morfydd
disgusting name
Her middle name is Myfanwy
I still don't get why they made Galadriel a Skaven. It's not even the same universe!
So... are they recasting Galadriel? Morf is kinda old looking now...
>recasting Galadriel
lol no
They have recast Adar and Sauron though
cute
>It's simple, we kill the Batman
Imagine getting to work on one of the greatest fiction materials, and all you can comment is "there will be baddies".
It's just the approved PR line she can give when asked about S2, probably held by all sorts of NDA clauses atm.
She wouldn't even say when S2 is coming out even though everybody knows it's going to be Fall this year.
It will fail. Go woke, go broke.
did she managed to shit out the tempest in her? must be nasty...
good morning sar
She always reminds me of the troony from Barbie
You know what it won't have lots of?
People watching.
jesus christ that is a terrible picture, it was extremely mean to post it

My Tolkien Expert Roundtable disagrees, sir, by Allah!

>here's that danish prince I was telling you about
It's set in modern day London
>Fortibras is a black woman
Why does that girl look like a hag only when she smiles?
Who cares when the hero of the show Adar left.
>The only character Cinemaphile can relate to is the sexless incel who hangs around with literal monsters
Cutie patootie
Nudes?
yeah all the cast and crew
What's the opposite of hype? Because that's where I am.
>Get hype Tolkienbros
for the LoTR fan every character in this show is a villain
>lots of villians
Isn't that bad?

How is this getting a Season 2?

I seriously don’t understand how these corporations can dump BILLIONS of dollars into a project, lose hundreds of millions and still continue to put out content that is costing them even more money.
This shit makes no sense.
>Didn’t Amazon lose like hundreds of millions of dollars on this project due to the viewership tanking just after the first episode?
Amazon doesn't care about losing money as long as it gets them in a dominant position in the market, that's their deal. ROP didn't do that either though
But it did though, according to a new report by THR, Rings of Power lost quite a few viewers, much more than it would like, as the season progressed. Concerning viewership data released by THR reveals that less than half of US and international viewers actually watched the entire first season.

Apple is the biggest corporation anon.

You would think you'd hire an experienced show runner to do it for you
Honestly the whole thing makes sense from the perspective of Bezos management philosophy.
