does anything look good about the new LOTR show?
Show would look loads better if she was sat on my face instead of that box
>making Galadriel into some scruffy dirty fighter class manspreader when shes already been shown as some sort of ethereal demigod of beauty and regality
hnnnnng elf butts in tights
why is her hilt extended in that picture?
its almost like they made that pose and the huge hilt to show her dominance
>why is her hilt extended in that picture?
She's carrying a different broken sword for *plot reasons* in those scenes
Why are 'her' legs spread? Airing out 'her' balls?
She is hot and I would but they changed a beautiful elven queen into a frickable capeshit girl.
They’re making the same mistake as Disney did with NuWars by making Galadriel the main character. Female characters should never be main characters.
>They’re making the same mistake as Disney did with NuWars by making Galadriel the main character.
They are doing the standard, now clichéd, Western film industry thing where they try to shoehorn in a female character to displace the masculine heroes. It's garbage.
CGI infested garbage
The actors playing elves aren't good looking enough. They don't have enough facial symmetry and their faces are too wide.
Well its the uhhh...the people and the...if you watch the trailer. No let me start again...
Alright no frick it, its the BIG BLACK YASSSSS QUEEN and theres no getting around it, immersion ruined
all of the promo material
Looks pure kino, find me another TV show that looks better than this. Looks better than most big budget movies
The trailer was terrible. But it had a few nice shots and the new pics do look good.
wow it looks so good dude!!
they made it about race
notice how theres no depth in any of this shots
TFW all the final music is placeholder tier tracks and these photos are nothing more than establishing shots before cutting to cheap sets where you can see everyday items spray painted by the property department
Looks like fricking garbage with no soul. Like an Ais attempt at good frames.
Oh my god is that generic fantasy visuals done in green screen that look like something out of a PS3 video game?! Hey look that peasant has dirt make up on his face! Kino kino kino!
Some of the sets are real but they look fake.
wtf it does look kino
honestly, looks very beautiful. they must be really proud of the product or they wouldve not taken the risks that alienated majority of core fanbase
please kys
looks good in stills, not in motion which is kinda important. also the writing is going to be garbage no matter how good it looks.
Original LOTR was made with less money (when corrected for inflation) and more passion
Without mentioning race, name one thing that would look bad about Black Panther but T'Challa and the royal family are all white Boers
elves. no one gives elves depth, they're just perfect little mary sues that can do no wrong and lecture about fricking everything.
>no one gives elves depth
Tolkien does you Black person
KNIFE EARED FRICKING c**tS ARENT ALL BEING DISEMBOWELED ON SCREEN 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME
Race is a legitimate concern, though. LotR does not have the kind of easy fast travel that would lead to multi-racial societies all over the place. Racial diversity would be present in port cities where traders are passing through, and hardly anywhere else.
It’s a movie… just suspend your disbelief
No. Tolkien specifically made it in such a way that you wouldn't need to do so.
So... why not just have a bunch of completely random scenes with nothing to do with anything? It's a movie... just suspend your disbelief.
>it's a movie
>just ignore the poor quality
Eat shit and die.
The dwarf lady doesn't have a beard
‘Warrior‘ Galadriel, short haired elves, moronic looking Elrond, dirty looking ‘proto-hobbits.. In short, the complete bastardization of all things Tolkien.
*In short, the complete deviation from all things Jackson
ftfy, none of those things you listed go against what Tolkien wrote.
Galadriel was not a warrior.
She's not a warrior
She's a 'commander of Gil-galads northern army'
Army Group North? Based.
She's a Noldor
deserves to be thrown into the void
Frick off Sindarcuck.
>the main theme of the show is "the fear of death and a desire to live forever"
kino, this encapsulates the 2nd age perfectly, both for the men and elves of middle earth.
Black folk. sorry, its mainly just the Black folk. laypeople wont say it, but everyone knows it. tolkien never wrote middle earth with a single black in mind, except maybe some of the eastering armies or the harad people. and even then that's mostly north africans and arabs and south asians, not sub sahara africans
Also what stupid nerds usually reply towards this criticism is dumb shit like "Well there are dragons and fantasy creatures in this world but you draw the line at black elves and black dwarfs?" and to that I would say well, there are haradim and easternings in this world who are canonically all supposed to be some manner of African and Asian. Now on the next LOTR, I propose the haradim show up in full middle east inspired armor and at least half of them be white blonde people. And they'll say "Well that's different, you can't do that!" And no, it's not fricking different. It's not about suspension of disbelief and they fricking know it, it's just about respecting the rules of the world as established by Tolkien.
It looks cheap despite being the most expensive show ever.
The costumes are terrible.
The Hobbits look like homeless trash instead of comfy country folk.
They're completely ruining Galadriel by turning her into yet another tomboy badass I grew up with six brothers female warrior.
Galadriel's hair being manhandled and treated like nothing.
All of the elves have lost their regality.
Its being written by hacks with little to zero actual writing credits (also guest starring Bryan Cogman from.....Game of Thrones)
>Its being written by hacks with little to zero actual writing credits
This is what puzzles me the most. How do people with no bodies of work land such a big job?
>How do people with no bodies of work land such a big job?
nepotism and wiener sucking

Would be a start to actually check the writing credits of the people involved first you homosexuals
Also, how many Emmys did Bryan Cogman win again?
the Emmys are worthless
Then what about Writers Guild of America Awards?
Not bad, but Vince Gilligan isn’t her show runner this time

I don't know. I refuse to watch this. I refuse to watch any promotional material of it. I refuse to give a single frick about this.
I am going back to reading books. But apparently I can't read modern books anymore. One of my favourite authors suddenly included refugees, a supernatural mary sue and weird mentions to modern politics in his book. I always liked Joe Abercrombie, but he went off the deep end suddenly.
The fact that the actress looks exactly like Tariq Nasheed isn’t a race problem it’s an ugliness problem
They could have casted a chocolate qt. They knew what they were doing.
All the 4 hobbits in the original are good looking. The new ones look like homeless black people on the subway and, as mentioned before, Tariq Nasneed.
uhhhhh.....
UHHHHH IT'S JUST BAD OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they had went with Black Númenóreans and Harad as a way of showing the "diversity" of Tolkien's world I would watch it. Instead they went with african hobbits, dwarves and elves.
The general decision to do this is a red flag, it is almost as if weaving diversity into a sane plot wasn't enough, they had to butcher it to do their part for the culture war. Whatever their intentions, making a faithful adaption is not among them, and so I have no interest in it.
This, they could have even given them some more depth showing that not all of the Easterlings and Haradim were bad, maybe that the conflicts between the numeroneans and the harad were a gray issue, show the flaws of men of middle earth, get some diverse characters in, etc. But we know that's not the point, real diversity is not the point. The point is showing middle earth as diverse now because of modern cultural standards and modern diversity quotas. It's moronic and it makes everyone not believe in the world because at every moment you will know, oh this is not it's own world and a show that could exist in any era, no this is a show that will very much be a product of it's time.
You do know that the Black Numenoreans weren't actually black skinned right?
For fricks sake theoden was such a fricking badass
One of the best characters ever
Hell, they could even get away with black elves if they showed them to get cannoically a lost tribe of avari.
But we know it's a gonna be a complete shit fest.
>If they had went with Harad as a way of showing the "diversity"
That's literally what they are doing, where do you think all the scenes in the 'southlands' and in villages called tirHARAD take place?
That brown elf is not even a full Silvan as his mother was of the Haradrim
haradrim are not Black folk either shill
The ones from far Harad
>among
hmm...
>Without mentioning race
black hobbits
black elves
black dwarves
That's three races!
Galadriel is single in the show, her loser husband hasn't even been cast yet so that means no child either.
She's going to be spending ALOT of time with this hot young Numenorean man whilst floating around the Sundering Seas all alone.
Celeborncucks absolutely seething rn
that man will be Sauron in disguise and he will FRICK Galadriel
>dripped wet Galadriel scenes

Can't
Wait
looks cheap and has no plot, which means it will probably just be another Obi Wan show money laundering scheme where every episode is just a ripoff of extremely generic premises
>has no plot,
homie are you for real
give me a synopsis of the plot. And not just a general “there’s the rings before everyone went evil!”. Like wyd do you think is gonna happen from episode to episode?
>think is gonna happen from episode to episode
How am I meant to know that? Just because you don't know the plot doesn't mean there isn't one lol
>doesn't mean there isn't one lol
oh you sweet, sweet innocent child
bruh the trailers have just been random images. Not even a hint at what the focus of the show is. Go fricking watch the Obi Wan show, where every episode is just a random cliche forced into a Star Wars setting. It’s the way media is made now. They approve the brand image first and hire people to come up with content to stuff it with later. There is no plot, there is no creative drive, there is no core concept. Just a bunch of people hired to shit out generic segments of media while using X brand name with Y characters and Z setting
>bruh the trailers have just been random images
The single 50 second teaser from February? What was you expecting it to be? they don't even finish postproduction until this month
I have to respect them at least for not casting any Americans
This, at least they kept the casting of Americans to a minimum. That's something that will forever taint the movies for me
Europe's middle age demographics is wrongly depicted.

oh my, nice get!
Costumes/character design. I want to be very clear: not in regards to the casting of any particular actor, but those big ass antlers they have on those hunters. I'm not sure if there are big deers in tolkien lore or if those were little hobbits, but I am sure that there is a more efficient way to carry those that doesnt look as silly.
What do you mean, I always carry my antlers like that.
picrel
for gender not race
And lack of beard
Lets face it guys, ROPs Galadriel is going to be the next pop culture phenomenon
The guy who wrote the Empire article was on stream the other day and was verbally cooming his pants about this take on her character after seeing footage of her 'in action'
Also when asked his favourite image from the article, he chose this cover photoshoot over the ~20 actual stills from the show lel
This is not what an elf haircut looks like.
It's a FANTASY film, I don't want it to look like a normal dude.
Supposedly he has escaped from a Nazi camp that makes orcs out of elves, so that's why his hair is buzzed.
how would you know what an elf haircut looks like, chud? its a fictional being!
now i believe orcs came from the elves
I have never seen a scene from the show that looked interesting. What I have seen was over a year ago now and did not appeal to me.
I'll pass. But I am kind of intrigued by the Rohirrim anime.
Yeah. Miranda Otto is doing narration or something for it too, should be good
Yeah I'm not interested in that amazon made fanfic but this other souless studio fanfic being made solely to retain the movie rights, now THATs the real shit
Everything is made to make money, it's how it is made that matters. The Rohan thing seems to be respecting the source material, Amazon does not. I'm sure both have soulless producers who just want to make money
>The Rohan thing seems to be respecting the source material
It's complete fanfic, like all of it so idk what you even mean by this statement
They are also calling it Lord of the Rings without it being about Sauron or the rings, they also claimed to be working with the Tolkien Estate (lol) despite it being completely untrue and the Tolkien family fricking hate Warner Brothers
What Warner Bros are doing is way more egregious and practically spitting in the face of Tolkien and his family by claiming they have the authors approval for their attempt to cling onto their movies rights for as long as they can,
Who the frick cares about the Tolkien Estate? With Christopher gone, they're no better than vultures.
Not that I'm defending the Rohan anime. It'll be absolute shit.
>Who the frick cares about the Tolkien Estate? With Christopher gone, they're no better than vultures.
Christopher was the one that agreed to sell the tv rights for this show, probably reluctantly but it was ultimately his decision and one of the last big things he did before stepping down as head of the estate.
and then they waited for him to die before starting production so he couldn't veto anything. swindlers.
It looks like how Tolkien described it would look in the appendices. Phillipa Boyens is working on it. The Tolkien estate is meaningless without Christopher so who cares. Might still be shit but it seems more respectful than Amazon at this stage anyway
>Phillipa Boyens
Oh great. Because she did her fanfic shit so well...
>The Tolkien estate is meaningless without Christopher so who cares
What you are basically saying is that the Bugs Bunny company knows more about Tolkien than his literal family.
You homosexuals don't care about Tolkien at all, you only care about Jacksons fanfic, which in the words of Adam Tolkien was 'not Lord of the Rings' because 'Jackson fundamentally misunderstood the books' - Christopher Tolkien
Better that than an Amazonshill.
>the Rohirrim anime
Wait, wait. The what?

>character holds a hammer in his hand

bravo tolkien
>Without mentioning the main reason why this will fail, why will it fail?
It’s lord of the rings. Therefore it will be shit no matter what.
It looks very clinical and soulless. Too much cgi, costumes don't look very good. Galadriel in the Empire magazine picture is wearing leggings with a chainmail imprint on them and it looks really bad. Tolkien very specifically had Elves with long hair and they are ignoring this. You can't have a love story between an Elf and a human because of how Tolkien wrote Beren and Luthien. It is dumb ti scale a rock wall in plate mail. Galadriel's hair being touched is nonsense. Her character being a warrior goes vastly against the source material. Durin being there shows that the writers fundamentaly do not understand the source material, or don't care. That's not what Hobbit would be like back then, their names make no sense also. Tolkien has been very detailed as far as the etymology of each race's language goes and the show is clearly disregarding this. I could go on, there are loads of red flags without even thinking about the skin colour of the actors
SHUT
THE
FRICK
UP
Black person
Race. Particularly the non white races.
The problem isn't the fact that a dwarf is black or whatever. The problem is that there are actors of different races playing characters that should be the same race. If every single elf in the show was black I would be fine with it. In this world, elves are black. Fine. Having them be mixed is what breaks the immersion
It looks cheap af
NNNNNN
Black folk.
bad cgi, overall bad taste
LOTR is public domain now, if you want to make your own show you can.
It has that generic shitflix grayscale clean look common in b tier fantasy filler shows.
The title
Yeah, this clearly is a woman clinging to her life. Looks so real. I'm really on the edge of my seat.
There is the contradiction between trying to make it seem dangerous and the production also refusing to show the female "hero" struggling in a real way. The result is no tension and it looks fake.
incel posts
Incel = critizising bad cgi and poorly made action?
Didn't know that's what it meant, but good to know
>critizising bad cgi
The scene you are talking about is not even CG lmao
I bet you are one those same brainlets who thought the title reveal was CG too, when it was 100% practical
Cinemaphile really is the lowest IQ board on this entire site so im really not surprised
Puberty is hard for you, hm?
If you can't see that there' cgi in that scene then I can't help you. Good luck
Frick off Bezoshill.
This. That scene alone looks terrible, it's like a playstation 3 cutscene. The clothes are blowing the opposite way of the wind, it's supposed to be a blizzard but not even her eyes are straining, she does not look like she's putting any effort into her movements. Everything about this show looks like it was made in front of a green screen.
>The clothes are blowing the opposite way of the wind
Are you really this moron
Yes.
Observe this image if you will, if you wish to understand why the wind physics make no sense.
The problem is that it is meant to be real but looks completely fake so people assume it's CGI, have you thought about that?
>the wind physics make no sense.
But how do you know which way the wind is blowing without looking at which way it is blowing the clothes? Air is invisible lol
Your argument makes literally zero sense
I don't know bro maybe if she is climbing a gigantic vertical wall then the wind cannot be blowing into her face from the direction of the wall? Lmao.
>If you are next to a 2d wall the wind cannot get you
Are you literally 5 year old?
It cannot get to you from the direction of the wall. If you put up a gigantic wall in between you and the direction of north, the window cannot blow into your face from the north. It can reach the sides of your face from either west or east but not from the north.
Are you intentionally pretending to be moronic because I can do this all day
>It cannot get to you from the direction of the wall
I just checked, the clothes are moving to the right. So seems the wind is blowing left to right.
Yes the wind can still blow you in the face from the side
Everything looks like a perfume commercial, it lacks grit. It doesn't look like that world exists, it looks like everything has only existed for two minutes before it was filmed. Hair is perfect with not a hair out of place, costumes don't have a single sign of wear and tear clothes would usually have, the environment does not look lived in.
implying theyre just a different race and not another species altogether
in short, character assassination of Galadriel.
invent as many original characters as you want, stop fricking with the ones already established.
>character assassination of Galadriel
The showrunners said they are doing 'PTSD Galadriel' which is actually a great direction
>The showrunners said they are doing 'PTSD Galadriel' which is actually a great direction
lmao
Give me one reason why that's not a good direction to go with her,
You are aware of the 1st age events, right?
Yes I'm aware. I've read the Silmarillion. And there are many reasons why it's a nonsensical direction to take the character, not least of which because it's set 15 hundred years after the end of War of Wrath.
You think the War of Wrath is what would cause Galadriel to have PTSD?
Have you actually read these books or did you just quickly google something?
Are you moronic? I did not say that. It was merely one of the last major events of the age. The point was it's been well over a thousand years since any of the events that could have caused her PTSD in the FA whether that's the death of her brothers, death of other elves, or the consequences of leaving Valinor.
>Nay,” [Galadriel] said. “Angrod is gone, and Aegnor is gone, and Felagund is no more. Of Finarfin’s children I am the last. But my heart is still proud. What wrong did the golden house of Finarfin do that I should ask the pardon of the Valar, or be content with an isle in the sea whose native land was Aman the Blessed? Here I am mightier
PTSD doesn't just go away and can come back strong from events in the future, think about who caused Finrods death, think about who is about to re-emerge in middle earth and bring more death and destruction to her people and lands.
I'm sure you can connect the dots
It's been 15 hundred years anon... That is an extraordinary amount of time. But even if she still has it she doesn't know Sauron is back until far later after the forging of the One Ring.
>It's been 15 hundred years anon... That is an extraordinary amount of time
15 years in human equivalent terms, not so much for an elf
>But even if she still has it she doesn't know Sauron is back until far later
But she will know *something* is returning, whether that's Sauron or a lesser minion of Melkor she will recognise the growing threat of darkness after the time of peace at the start of the first age with her 10/10 perception skills.
They will probably try and do something along the lines of her wanting to prevent the darkness that comes to the elves (like they experienced in the 1st age). That then feeds into why she (and the other elves) would want rings of power, to this time try and prevent the death and decay of their lands/people. Ultimately she is unable to prevent this from happening, aside from in her own small patch of land.
*start of the second age
This doesnt sound like someone that has PTSD, this sounds like someone who is resolved.
it's fanfiction
I tried reading The Silmarillion but couldn't get through it. LotR trilogy is the only middle earth story I care about. I don’t need any prequel fanfiction from Amazon. It’s more fun to let my imagination fill in the blanks I find.
Celebrimbor isn't good looking
Characters added in wrong era for the sake of having Hobbit-like characters (Brandyfoots)
Wizards on the ground in the wrong era just to have wizards.
The look of the elves (not just facial like what others have said but even their dress like with Celebrimbor)
PS3-looking CG in that ice-climbing bit in the trailer
Warrior Galadriel
Written by guys who wrote Star Trek Beyond
It's going to lack "soul", I'm moronic so I can't phrase it any better than that. But I really believe it.
Amazon shills ITT.
It looks garbage and even fricking redditors know it and call it out.
Rings of Power shows a blatant disregard for Tolkien's vision of what Middle Earth is supposed to be, and is complete and utter fanfiction that should never be allowed to piggyback off the fame of something with actual merit.
inmersion is awful, and characters go against the lore in such basic level that is ridiculous.
CGI fanfiction using Jackson aesthetics to tell a boring story with modern sensibilities.
But I'm not a big fan of the original movies. I still like them.
Overuse and poor use of CGI.
It's full of people that didn't exist is large numbers in European countries until the 1960s
Damaged Galadriel could be pretty good actually. 1st age in Beleriand was fricking hell half of the time and she's been through the kinslaying, crossing the Helcaraxe, survived the battle of lammoth, watched all three of her brothers die while she refused to partake in their wars, witnessed the destruction of Doriath and the war of wrath, etc
Having her wanting to be more proactive in the big events of the 2nd age and avoid another catastrophe for the elves (but be powerless to prevent it) could be kino
>Without mentioning Black folk
Yeah, other than that it's absolutely flawless.
The showrunners are 2 guys who have never actually made anything at any level in Hollywood. Like they literally do not have a credit on any project before this
Black folk
It’s green screened fanfiction with a bunch of literal who actors, and writers who have no respect or love for the source material.
>Not hiring pedowood actors is LeBAD
This was a completely conscious decision anyway, they didn't want too many recognisable faces in middle earth.
Also guarantee these actors are better than 95% of what burgerland shits out, they actually got taught how to act
1. Not making it about Feanor and Morgoth
2. Not making it about the Valar
3. Not making it all about Numenor
4. Not making it about Sauron being the great deceiver, then making a prequel with Dagor Dagorath that makes Sauron look like a wuss
5. not having the rights to any of those
so what is it going to be about then if not the Silmarillion, which people have wanted to be adapted into a tv series for forever ???
>which people have wanted to be adapted into a tv series for forever
Not since the hobbit they haven't
They don't have the Silmarillion rights and are doing a 2nd aged story anyway
But they can (and will) still cover some events that are depicted in the Silmarillion, such as scenes in Valinor and the dagor bragollach
without the rights?
so they just accept the lawsuit then?
What about if you don't want spoilers for silmarillion and read it on day unbiased. Is this going to cover anything specifically written in tolkien's work? like lotr and parts of the hobbit
Some of the Silmarillion events are listed in the appendices of LoTR, like Finrod at Dagor bragollach so that's why they can include it.
They are basically using bits and pieces across LoTR, appendices and the hobbit to construct a 2nd age story about Saurons rise to power, creation of the rings, downfall of Numenor and Saurons subsequent defeat.
Alot of filling in the gaps but those are the big events everything is framed around
lets hope they're leaving aragorn and arwen alone
>basically using bits and pieces across LoTR, appendices and the hobbit to construct a 2nd age story about Saurons rise to power, creation of the rings, downfall of Numenor and Saurons subsequent defeat.
if only that wasn't done already by someone who made the story in the first place
>we are making new characters because tolkien apparently didn't make enough of them already
>we are ignoring the lore and established cultures with complex and nuanced histories
>we are focusing on making a 2022 values story instead of focusing on a timeless story tolkien is known for
>we are creating unbelievably ridiculous over the top action setpieces instead of toning it down with weight and value
I don't want to see your story jammed into Tolkien's skin, I want to see Tolkien's story. Friendship, hope, perserverance, courage, venturing into the underworld and defeating the dragon when the hour is dark, finding something and bringing it back and restoring society. LOTR trilogy is timeless, you can watch it today and it still holds up because it focuses on the human instead of fleeting political sentiments.
The fact that it’s being made by Amazon. The last time they did a fantasy show we got Wheel of Time which was a complete disgrace.
>what's 2+2?
>and no, don't say 4
its a fantasy show injecting real life identity politics into its fabric, therefore it's no longer true fantasy and just a twisted mirror of reality in a fantasy setting. they are purposefully removing all escapism from all media and forcing people to constantly think about the modern world and societal inequity. they do not want people checked out, they can't be divided that way.
too flashy, unrealistic, nothing looks good, its trying to appeal to a fanbase that is not interested in literature or medieval history and that primarily doesnt care about The European middle ages.
Why isn't it called the Silmarillion?
the trailer
the dwarvern queen and the hobbits
though maybe the dwarf queen would be feasible the hobbits can only be compared and look absolutely dreadful
like some cheap 3rd rate play with amateur actors
>without mentioning the bad thing, name the bad thing about the show
yeah okay redditor
its made by people who dont understand or care about lord of the rings other than the fact that they think it is a license to print money.
is it soulless and unneeded in every way you could think of.
Complete disregard for source material
Quads of truth
The C grade actors, the horrible script, the plot having nothing to do with the books other than the title, the rape of the characters, the soap opera writing. Literally every single detail of this show is completely unappealing, even if every single character was cis white republicans/moderate I would still never watch it.
>Without mentioning race, name one thing that looks bad about the new LOTR show
it looks like it was created by a corporate board to achieve representation and marketing quotas. no narrative integrity: just corporate pablum.
The ethnicity of the actors.
Black folk
