text ver:
It began with the forging of the great films
Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings
Right were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsmen of the mountain of lore
And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else desire quality
But they were all of them deceived
For another show was made
In the land of Amazon
In the fires of Mount Prime
The Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop
And into this show he poured his money,
his greed,
and his will to dominate all film

One Show to ruin them all

the stuff in the OP is kinda corny, but I tried watching the first episode, and it reminded me of why I'm not into high fantasy.

I might give it another chance, but idk if this franchise is for me.

That's the thing about culture war stuff - it's not a real opinion but it dominates the discussion, so it becomes the dominant opinion and nobody actually knows how people feel about the show.

Im wondering if its boring like the Hobit trilogy or exciting like the LOTR trilogy.

Probably wouldnt be able to make a good assessment from just one episode though.

Bezos: so, like, we need a blockbuster series, but writing our own and being creative is risky. it's easier and safer to just buy an existing idea. what gigantic IP is left that we can leech from?

execs: uh, idk, LotR?

Bezos: brilliant. and people like that, right?

execs: yes, the trilogy made like billions of dollars

Bezos: excellent. what else do people like?

execs: uh, good quality writing?

Bezos: no no no. i mean what is going to make the most money?

execs: uh, those Marvel movies dominate the top 10 highest grossing movies every year, probably those?

Bezos: excellent. so lets buy LotR and make it just like Marvel

and here we are

If it were not "Lord of the Rings" but just some generic fantasy show, it might be passable. However, because it has that name, expectations will be high and anything short of those expectations will be considered a massive failure.

It's pretty sad to see people so stunted by their own community that they literally just rabidly attack anything that their community labels as "bad" (i.e. woke).

This culture war shit is just pure brainrot.

The problem is the expectations from certain people is don't have black characters or women in any sort of fighter role.

it's even more sad when you realize that they brand anything featuring minorities in leading roles as "woke".

Yes, I am against accusing people of being pedophiles when there is literally no evidence or accusations against them, particuarly in a political climate where a certain political party is using fear of pedophiles as a means to incite violence and anger.

Clearly makes me a monster lmao.

Yeah no...there was Jeanette McCurdy lol. That most certainly counts as evidence.

You did the exact same shit with Ezra Miller being called a groomer.

Yes, because the only reason they started to be called a groomer is because of the right-wing push to label the LGBT community as groomers. And the dude's erratic behavior was very fucking clearly a manic episode. Like, let's get people help, and not shame them for going through mental health crises, even if they are celebs.

You just don't have any ability to actually think things through. Like, fuck off until you can coherently discuss things, rather than just rattle off out of context digs that you try your hardest to make sound bad.

Stop, you are just defending them because they are wealthy and from *good families*

Ezra belongs in prison. He literally threw a chair at a woman and it was caught on camera.

That isn't something that society can forgive.

I so wanted it to be good.

They literally had all the lore the could work with and they still managed to fuck it by inserting their bullshit into an existing franchise. The backlash was a beautiful response from a fantasy that had enough of seeing their favorite works destroyed by hacks who don't understand the source material.

Only 2 episodes, so it is still early, but I think it has good potential. Some people are complaining that the show is slow paced, but the books and movies were pretty slow in the beginning too. Dialogue is fine to me, LOTR always had some corniness/cheesiness to me (by modern standards).

These are the complaints that are confusing me. Like, LOTR is full of stuff like this. Especially the EEs. Similar with Hobbit.

Another complaint I'm hearing his that there's too many long and broad shots of mountains and the scenery and stuff. Like, did these people watch LotR? Lol.

They are condensing 3,000 years of plot in Tolkiens world into one single event, and packing the show full of original characters and storylines. This is definitely not like the LOTR movie release lol

He doesn't care what Miller does honestly. Miller is part of the same "in-group" as covxy so covxy will always excuse his crimes.
