UshiromiyaEva 09/03/22 9:16:07 AM #51:	The American people are nearly 100% hardwired by the public school scaling of anything below a 70% being a failing grade and therefore bad. You can talk about a true critical 5/10 average or a 3/5 film standard, but for a vast majority of people if they see a 6.8 they assume something sucks. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 <cite>UshiromiyaEva posted [p:967763002] in The Lord o...

JJH777 09/03/22 11:02:33 AM #52:	Axl_Rose_85 posted... This post is awesome even though I don't agree with it. The sentiment sadly seems to be the consensus amongst the hardcore Tolkien fans. Like I have never seen this much backlash for a product before the product was even out. Has there ever been anything in any media that has gotten this much backlash from fans before it even came out? As a huge fan of the movie trilogy, I liked the first two episodes (no problem with the slow pace). But the fans are like nope, this shit should not have aired, despite great reviews everywhere. Hardcore Tolkien fans hate the show, and all the movies too and think the people who hate the show for breaking lore but still like the movies are dumb fucks. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny.

Episodes 1 and 2 are live now. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/6/0/AADcu0AADoMU.jpg Maybe Im too picky but from the LOTR trailer I wasnt digging the costumes and hair/makeup. Galadriel kinda looks like shes wearing a cardigan. Also heard some of the haircuts are modern. Ill still watch but its hard not to expect the show to meet the attention to detail of Jacksons trilogy because while those films are great, that was 20 years ago and this is the most expensive tv show of all time. And the Jackson trilogy laid out a damn good blueprint so yeah you should be able to get close to that level with the practical stuff Ultimately Im most interested in a compelling story and good performances and how its shot/directed but if the wardrobe or hair and makeup looks cheap its going to affect feeling immersed in whats happening --- I need to update my signature. <cite>wallmasterz posted [p:967768253] in The Lord o...

neonreaper 10/11/22 5:30:09 PM #94:	Yeah a pyroclastic flow would kill all those people in spectacular and sudden fashion. I'll admit that it did 'bother' me a bit but it was cool. The showrunners worked with the Tolkien Estate to make sure the overall story points were OK. They are condensing 1500-2000 years (and potentially more). So it is a bit different but not what I would characterize as wildly so. --- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter? Walter: No, Donny.

HanOfTheNekos 10/15/22 10:53:05 PM #97:	I really enjoyed it. Show started kinda weak but I'm into it enough, now. Hopefully it keeps the energy when season 2 hits in 3-4 years. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic <cite>HanOfTheNekos posted [p:968743900] in The Lord o...

neonreaper 10/16/22 9:48:18 AM #98:	The first four episodes didn't give me a lot of hope for the showrunners. I enjoyed it well enough, but I'm a sucker for Middle Earth stuff. The last four episodes were definitely much better. I'm so pleased that it ended up being good. Really looking forward to ~~Adar v Sauron~~ and as much Durin III/IV as I can get. --- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter? Walter: No, Donny.
