Money laundering.
you still don't know what money laundering means.
And you are still brown
Weren’t the costumes in the movies famously expensive? How the frick does this shit cost more?
It really is this isn’t it? At last I see.
are you moronic? nothing in that post is comparing the show costume prices to the movie costume prices, and no its not money laundering because thats not how it works you fricking idiot
Oh no I’m so sorry sir Rope is my favorite show I love it and have not stopped watching it on repeat I will keep it up sir thank you for the kino!
the show is dogshit and you don't know what money laundering is, these aren't mutually exclusive.
Yeah he’s a moron everything truly did cost that much. Costumes and makeup looked great.
better import some elf workers to drive down costs
I thought elves were aetherial beings that used starlight to craft magical objects and archived histories of the world and shit like that, you’re telling me there’s elf janitors and shit that can’t find a job so they “immigrate” to work human jobs like shoveling pig shit? Seriously?
>you’re telling me
Not us. It's the leftoids
Fine but “you’re telling me” is a turn of phrase, it’s not actually referring to anybody.
They made it up because they couldn't think of an original reason to create drama.
Elves live forever. By the 2nd age, they were all independently wealthy, with passive income from 2000 year old portfolios. Any "job" they take on is done purely as a whimsical hobby. They can accept lower wages than humans, while delivering superior work.
Just like tolkien imagined the elves: cheap labour in human markets
Men becoming morally corrupt, turning away from god's light and challenging the gods to wrestle immortality from them sounded a little too high brown to a fantasy show for morons.
>the high race of Numenor
>a bunch of obese brownoids
like, literally what is this show? How did it ever get made?
kek I forgot good cossutius was in this show
too bad it's shit
was this an attempt to make numenoreans more relatable or sth
This is subtle, almost imperceptible, political commentary. Stanley Kubrick has nothing on the writers of Rings of Power.
I haven't read the books since I was a kid. Didn't they get jealous over the elves immortality? Did the show really try to turn that into a modern political allegory?
Maybe read the context you limp wristed medcuck?
>maybe read the cope
you are right, it's much funnier this way
>Nope I'm just going to pretend to be moronic instead
Always the winning strategy
you don't even need to pretend, how could I possibly win?
What moron decided to incur startup costs two seasons in a row?
I think the UK government basically poached the production from S2 onwards with promises of bigger tax breaks, and whatnot, than NZ were giving them.
So the cost of the move was deemed worth it for the long term benefits
>promises of bigger tax breaks, and whatnot, than NZ were giving them.
>So the cost of the move was deemed worth it
so..... money laundering? otherwise it makes zero sense to have less money now.
easy when ur spending someone elses money
You are right, that reads much worse
>5 season show
christ
>a 5 season show
why did they relocate after sinking money into nz? im guessing tax breaks/offsetting loses against profits made in the uk (somehow 3rd largest e-consumer behind us and china on earth despite only having 70 million people)
>it is understood that this is nothing to worry about
Well that's true, why worry about a show that sucked since the first episode, lmao.
It's failed and dead, just can't get cancelled to give chuds the satisfaction of winning
No it can’t get cancelled because they still have hundreds of millions of dollars to launder, plus when they don’t see any returns the government will print them money/give them federal bailouts.
It will get to S5.
It’s long enough to pretend it’s not a failure, but not long enough that the favours garnered from the money siphoning and laundering won’t be offset
>It's failed and dead
says increasingly nervous chud in almost daily rop threads 1,5 years after s1
>bootlicking triliondollar company
that's right achi
so you hate rop because Amazon is bad and jeff bezos is evil?
I hate rop because it's utter dogshit made by a bunch of hacks trying to ride the coattails of a brilliant man who can't defend his work because he's fricking dead
They guaranteed 5 seasons to win the contract.
Morf recently set up a Cameo to raise some money for Palestinian children.
Ask her any question and she will give you a personalised response for for $50!
well that sucks
literal angel
I'll ask her why is she such a vulgar, low class prostitute
i wanna know her booty workout
Disgusting rat.
CHEESE PLEASE
>I love sand-kids, yes yes!
every season SHOULD be cheaper than the first because of start up costs but also no denying that this show bombed and its funding was cut on top of the usual drawdowns for later seasons because the show was received horribly and is completely irrelevant in the cultural sphere - no one talks about this shit at all. not even to shit on it. at least people still shit on disney's star wars and that came out almost a decade ago. rings of power doesnt even have antifans. no one even gave enough shits to hate it.
The Tard of the Kings, by IRR Tinklin
Season 3? There hasn't even been a season 2 yet.
why are they still wearing surgical masks?
It's a leftoid status signal, like how gay guys used to have pink sashes hanging out of their back pocket.
Literally the same for every show ever
The longer they go on the more expensive they get as key cast and creatives demand higher pay.
Studios always look to cost cut in other areas after the first couple of seasons, even Game of Thrones did.
>The longer they go on the more expensive they get as key cast and creatives demand higher pay.
How can they demand any higher pay when the show has little to no traction and everyone just sees it as garbage. You actually need to do good before you can demand anything. If anything they probably got their pays slashed for doing a shitty job.
>How can they demand any higher pay
The show won multiple guild awards for VFX, art design, score won multiple awards, costume designers and prosthetics are Emmy nominated. They for sure can demand higher pay now
“Muh awards” lmao as if they aren’t just literal advertisements for slop
if you can't even admit production values or music of rope it means you're biased and dishonest
The production values are in the fricking toilet. Shiny CGI slop impresses nobody with an IQ over 65.
95% of runtime will be two characters standing in a room talking, with one or two CGI "showpiece" battles between 20 orcs and 10 elves per season.
Could this show actually look worse than it already does?
I hate-watched the entire first season and laughed my ass off at parts of it. It's basically a parody of Tolkien. It's Tolkien how a redditor harry potter fan imagines it.
My favorite shit watching the first season is that the elves have a huge lookout tower (and, of course, their "elvish eyes") specifically to look out for orcs, and they're like meh, we're leaving soon, nothing here. Meanwhile, the motherfricking orcs were digging a miles-long trench right in front of them.
That's not a plot point either. The writing is just that fricking bad. It's so funny, oh man
>Meanwhile, the motherfricking orcs were digging a miles-long trench right in front of them.
homie this is literally what happens in actual warfare, wtf do you think trenches in ww1 were built for? As a way for on the ground troops to evade aerial reconnaissance and bombardment.
You used to have entire forces setup trying to discover and clear trench/tunnel systems that could go undiscovered for months.
Literal history you clueless gaygit
>words words words
Legolas spotted urukhai dozens of miles away and even knew where they were headed just by looking once. Rings of Power elves, homie elves, couldn't see the trench right below them while standing above it. Desperate ass homie. Weird ass homie.
can you name one show that looks better? I'll wait
Two and a Half Men
you hide behind joke because you literally cant
There are literally dozens. Game of Thrones if you really want an obvious one of the same ilk.
game of thrones
lol, lmao even. GotT looks like an expensive show. But still, a show. RoP looks like a movie.
RoP looks significantly worse than jacksons movies despite having a significantly higher budget. Just the costumes alone look pathetic
>despite having a significantly higher budget.
they had more or less the same budget if you count inflation and count money spent per hour of footage
>RoP looks significantly worse
jackson movies look good only at times. They are full of visuals that are dated and look like they are from the 80s fantasy movie. There's also plenty of crappy cgi and cheesy looking scenes like the ghost army or galadriel turning into demon
>They are full of visuals that are dated and look like they are from the 80s fantasy movie.
good
Jackson movies look infinitely better than RoP especially the hilariously pathetic costumes of RoP
It's fricking hilarious how blinded by ideology you are. People like you were complaining for years that quasi-medieval shows use grey filter on everything and when there is a show with properly colored costumes, you prefer greyish slop because that's what your hivemind decided. Costumes in RoP are literally what you demanded for years but now COLOR IS WOKE
>but now COLOR IS WOKE
show one person in this thread saying that. and, yes, saying it, not "implying" it
forgot to post pic
Which costumes? Apart from the godawful valinor armor it's not that bad. The orcs look great.
homie, do you have eyes?
>some of the special effects in these 20 year old movies look dated
Rings of Power looks dated NOW
>some of the
all of them. Also, when was the last time you rewatched those movies? Do you remember those scenes at the end with hobbits in elfland? They visually look like those buron alice in wonderland movies
a lot of rotk looked bad at the time too, the sfx people were seriously fricked by time constraints, and jackson just kept adding more scenes for them to grind out when they were already struggling to meet deadlines.
100% cope.
ROPE does not look it's budget
it absolutely does
>RoP looks like a movie.
yeah, a fricking hallmark channel movie
i look forward to not watching it
t. everyone
There was a series 2?
It's out later this year, Sept/Oct
They are already prepping for S3 but they won't start filming for a while yet.
I'm excited for season 2
>Season 3 will film in the UK and have a lower budget
>UK has higher production costs than New Zealand
Even articles about this moronic show don’t make sense.
>Rings of Power had no cultural impact
Literally publishing academic articles about it, even 2 years after release
Why is Cinemaphile wrong about everything?
and there's still people who say that all academic fields deserve equal respect
You are aware they're paid by Amazon to write shit like this, right?
>It's Amazon making all the sex doujins
lol, cope

So wait, how are they so confident that theyre already going to go ahead with season 3?
Is there something im not getting cause nobody liked this show. How do these companies get away with blatant money laundering like this?
>be a tripgay
>confuse Cinemaphile and reality
>ask moronic questions
have a nice day
Because they have the plausible deniability of assuaging stockholder fears.
They can, truthfully, claim that canning it early would shake investor faith in them. In a more sane time this would raise the question why they made such a fricking abysmal product that nobody in their write mind would ever consume, but they’ve got that covered by hiring absolutely pants on head moronic writers and producers that can prove incompetence over malice
Frick off trip troony
>Is there something im not getting cause nobody liked this show.
this homie thinks Cinemaphile is the real world
This, was at my coworkers daughters Rings of Power birthday party with a real horse and Indian catering and had a blast. Her husband got to shout THERE IS A TEMPEST CURRY IN ME getting laughs
Funny because Indians really didn't like ROP and you can see engagement drop hard from the opening episodes yet it did really well in multiple Euro countries, UK, France, Scandinavian counties for example.
Germans actually loved the show.
no the funny part is you taking that extremely obvious bait
Never thought I’d post side by side with a tripgay
>So wait, how are they so confident that theyre already going to go ahead with season 3?
Because both viewership and engagement was good.
That's all that matters to streamers
>focus to reduce production costs
I'm guessing this is their way of saying it's gonna be dialog heavy.
Modern writers are great at writing natural dialog. . .
>it's gonna be dialog heavy.
how the frick could this show be any more dialogue heavy??
i tried giving this a shot but it was just to moronic for me. Rumors are next season will be about Saurons long forgotten son that got killed or something
Just cancel it and sell everything, just auction everything. Nobody cares about this show
Son of basterd bicth why are you not watching of the shows sirs! It has she in it!
It flopped hard there's not two ways around it but amazon put it against game of fricking thrones what were they thinking? Just make it compete with some netflix slopt and it might do fine
>Twenty (20) new cast members for S2 including Ciaran 'kino' Hinds
German cinema incoming
>Ciaran 'kino' Hinds
From Rome to this dumbster fire of a show, his career seems quite hit or miss and RoP is definetly a miss for him.
the production value was already bad with a higher budget
Season 2 is not still out/still in the making and they're planning a season 3? How much they wanna keep trying? Now for sure this is just a money laundering job for Prime i cannot belive otherwise.
Would it have been better or worse if they actually had the rights to the Silmarillion? From what I understand they can only adapt events that were referenced in the movies.
I'm honestly curious how s2 will turn out. I love LotR and even the Hobbit flicks so much that i'm willing to sit through this. Obviously i will be pirating it.
>3 seasons of this slop because instead of dropping it before release they just desperately double down
They moved production to UK to save on the cost of cheese.
Real fricking sad state of affairs
people will have nostalgia for ROP the same way people have now nostalgia for the peter jackson films, even though at release people seethed about how they raped tolkien etc
This tbh, when the movies came out people were unironically calling for Jackson to be publicly tortured in the streets
I enjoyed the movies for what they are but yes, he should have been.
>even though at release people seethed about how they raped tolkien etc
tolkien fans have always been split about the jackson movies. NO tolkien fans like rings of power.
Why do you have to make ridiculous statements like this?
Would people liking something you don't like threaten your infantole black and white worldvoew?
>infantole black and white worldvoew?
rampant spelling mistakes are a clear indication of 1) seething and 2) phoneposting
I can’t imagine being such a huge pathetic seething homosexual slop fanboy like yourself.
>NO tolkien fans like rings of power.
no true scotsman
Nice fallacy fallacy you shit shill
Only the most hardcore purists seethed. The rank and file loved it, the casual and moderate fans loved it. LOTR is more like Dunc, while ROP is like the star wars sequels at best - not even, it's more like fricking solo.
>Only the most hardcore purists seethed.
you were literally 10 when the movies came out, mate
LOTR is LOTR
DUNC is like prequelshit
And ROP is like sequelshit
It's more like the SW sequels
Actually most of the production team either worked directly on the SW sequels or for JJ at Bad Robot (some obviously both). Even the higher up ROP execs like Callum Greene who came straight from working on Rise of Skywalker
Production manager for S2 is from The Last Jedi and ILM are the main VFX house, it's a Star Wars production in all but name.
Just like The Hobbit fil- oh wait...
At release those movies won Oscars.
by season 5 it'll be a CW tier budget
they should have shot RoP on a grainy period lense and film from the 80s. It looks no different from Marvel CGI green screen when shot on 8k digital.
Remember how the scene of Galadriel riding the horse in slowmo with her dress whipping around in the wind was their big epic trailer "look how good our show looks" shot but then in the story it was just her going to the library? lol
someone please deepfake that scene to be Gandalf riding to the library at the beginning of FOTR when he's researching the ring. I want him grinning stupidly on a slowmo horse while his robes billow around. That would look so stupid in that context because it is.
Apparently S2 is really fricking good and elevates pretty much everything from s1 with added context and handling of ongoing character arcs.
Elf vs Sauron will be top tier actions/drama kino
Screencap this
>taking money away from costume and set design when they looked worse than what fans come up with
it really is over bezos clitty xisters...
There was a season 2?
I tried three body problems from netflix, I dropped them after an ep and a half, I ranted once listing things I didn't like and then I moved on. I stopped visiting 3bp threads. I stopped thinking about it (except for this post). Imagine supposedly hating a show an then obsessing about it for over a year. What's the point?
to make shills like you seethe
It’s a forever source of dabbing.
They thought they could take a cultural monolith, be absolute incompetents, slosh a bucket of money at it - and somehow it would just work.
It didn’t, so it’s just fun to come past every now and again to dab on these dense useless motherfrickers.
>the costume department is taking a hit
I might pirate season 3 just to see how they manage to top this.
>Hair/makeup
It's the laziest out of any show I've seen lmao how can it get cheaper
Why does it have any budget?
I wish bad fortune and events on people who have bad taste (this show) and simp (bad waifus and morons who actually pay for porn)

Cool. I'm never gonna watch any of it. Never ever ever. Just not gonna.
We know, you've made sure to tell us that ever since the first trailer for S1 came out.
You're not obsessed at all, my guy.
Sorry I'm simply not gonna watch the goyslop
Alright, millions of other people will 🙂 Good luck with your boycott!
Oh that's fascinating. They'll reduce the costs for these things that could easily handled by AI you say?
There was a season 2?

This kind of a show has good S1 numbers but shit S2 numbers after a lot of hype it's found to be a disappointment.
