I still don't understand why a company would invest hundreds of millions of dollars on an adaptation of the Second Age based on a few pages of an appendix, or why the Tolkien Estate pitched that idea in the first place. It's just so dumb.
think it's pretty smart on behalf of the tolkien estate, take amazon for hundreds of million but still don't let them remake LOTR or the hobbit directly, the only things normies recognise and would buy into from the off. all that money for the rights to make a 90% fanfic show, fricking hell.
you watched it, you're part of the problem >inb4 I didn't
yes you did frick off, you and all the capeshit obsessed gays that never shut up about this kind of crap, but it's all you consume.
I'm still so fricking annoyed at how the producers tried to obfuscate what rights they did and didn't have to Middle-Earth for the show >hype up that it's set in the Second Age >later quietly clarify that they don't have the rights to any Second Age material or the Silmarillion/Unfinished Tales, just the rights to the LOTR books >hype up that New Line is onboard as a producing partner, and there will be visual continuity between the Jackson films and the show >later quietly clarify that they have no rights to anything from the Jackson films, and everything from LOTR that pops up in the show has to be visually distinct from the movies and break continuity
As much as I think this show has been quite mediocre so far I do not think for a second that a large portion of the hate it gets isn't the result of astroturfing. Shit's quite obvious.
There is no trillion dollar company behind the hate for RoP. There is a trillion dollar company behind RoP attempting to coerce everyone into watching.
>shapeshifter looks different
he's an elf twink, a big wolf/dog and a vampire bat in canon as well, changing his appearance is one of the least egregious things they've done.
that's what I'm saying
their system was already nebulous and inaccurate because it relied on households chosen to have a Nielson box and not the entire general public
they literally have no data for streaming and no way to get it, yet they're still giving out ratings numbers
House was better than (the first two episodes of) Rings but it was still just shit. It was GoT season 5 quality and I'll not be tuning back in for more disgusting CGI trash.
isnt it strange that every IP that used to inspire good feelings, imagination and a sense of right triumphing over evil across the western world is being corrupted and turned into unstisfying drivel.
Are modern writers and directors really that shit?
or is there true evil in the world that has decided that the white west has got to go and this is part of a slow erosion of values, integrity, art and family?

why cant these showas have 3 thing I look for in fantasy
1 hot chicks in awesome outfits
2 a lot of cool fights and semi gore death
3 some off color humor n wisecracks comedy
its kliek the most boring nerd girl lez cuz she cant get a guy cousin got ahold of a whole
genre and shat all over it
they need guys like pic related and girls like april hunter from WWF

It was supposed to make Amazon trillions. It was a multi-billion dollar investment.
I still don't understand why a company would invest hundreds of millions of dollars on an adaptation of the Second Age based on a few pages of an appendix, or why the Tolkien Estate pitched that idea in the first place. It's just so dumb.

I like how all criticism of the show is based on out-of-the context webms on the internet. Can't expect rightoids to be rational or course.
This will never be your site no matter how much you raid. Go back to your discord, pathetic worm.
Because Jeff Bezos has too much money and not enough sense. Billionaires shouldn't exist.
what a childish statement
because they know dumb libshit millenials will scarf it down like pigs even if it's mediocre
you watched it, you're part of the problem

I don't understand why those two gay showrunners who never pitched a successful show were put in charge of this one.
Bezos money laundering
Yup
To trigger chuds. Remember, 5 seasons.
As much as I think this show has been quite mediocre so far I do not think for a second that a large portion of the hate it gets isn't the result of astroturfing. Shit's quite obvious.
>astroturfing

seething autists are like jannies, they do it for free
>attempting to coerce everyone into watching.
Oh noes, they put ads of the show in websites. Trutly dictatorial.
>of the hate it gets isn't the result of astroturfing
who is paying for this? apple? the secret society of tolkien fans?
What is this scene? Is she an orc who somehow was magic-ed into having human skin?
>What is this scene?
Sexually frustrated elf princess annoyed she's stuck on a raft with a lowly human (he's actually Sauron lolz)
Her behavior is so out of character for Galadriel that it's beyond belief. Galadriel really was rebellious in the books, but never like this.
No, this is Sauron, sirs.
That is just one of Sauron’s forms. I’m assuming Halbrand will be in season 2.
Yeah Halbrand is the main Sauron form in first half of the season at least
>shapeshifter looks different
he's an elf twink, a big wolf/dog and a vampire bat in canon as well, changing his appearance is one of the least egregious things they've done.
That's Jeff's "elon buying twitter with his chump change" moment
Laundering.
they turned galadriel into a karen
Yeah but point being that at the start of s2 she's going to admit that being an annoying Karen is bad/wrong and so starting her L'redemption arc
She better get a naked redemption arc.
You got filtered.
Hubris and stupidity.
>Galadriel beats Sauron by yelling at him with her loud empowered woman breath
Why didn’t she just do this again in the original trilogy?
LOL
FYI: Nielsen confirmed that Rings got more than twice the views of House of the Dragon. Samba TV is a joke.
>streaming
>nielsen
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm convinced streaming-era Nielsen is like JD Power where they'll say and promote anything if they're getting paid to do it
considering they don't have access to any actual data and came up with the concept of "view minutes" to make the numbers look bigger, yes.
Nielsen machines can't read streaming, they don't know if you're watching netflix or if you have the tv turned off.
that's what I'm saying
their system was already nebulous and inaccurate because it relied on households chosen to have a Nielson box and not the entire general public
they literally have no data for streaming and no way to get it, yet they're still giving out ratings numbers

same audience as she-hulk + 300k dupes

or is there true evil in the world that has decided that the white west has got to go and this is part of a slow erosion of values, integrity, art and family?
the idea they're trying to erase is that a normal person can cause real change in the world.
There's a tempest in her
How do we get the tempest out of her, guys? It looks like she's in pain.
She's such a bad actress too. Saint Maud was garbage but she was terrible there too. Rings was just so cheap and nasty to look at though.
Morfbros, we are so back

Average women
Look qt and innocent at first glance but spend enough time with them and you soon realise they are actually demon harpy spawn
The Illuminati are cucks and will ruin everything good for their b***h wives.
This show is kino. Unironically. I bet you guys didnt watched it
In general? Because Amazon desperately wants their own MCU and Lord of the Rings was the last big untouched nerd property that hadn't been franchised to death.
Specifically? Because the showrunners delight in something that is enjoyed primarily by the white male nerds that used to make fun of their tumblrs fifteen years ago and now they have the power they want to break your toys.
What's the next step of their masterplan?
Since most of the ROP producers are from Rise of Skywalker and/or Bad Robot, can somebody tell me what to expect from S2?
Everything to get even worse.
MorfWife back soon
