Did they fuck up wheel of time? I havent dared to watch it yet.

If they get a solid team of writers, some real talent, make the shareholders shit themselves over the budget and keep it to one well planned story arc, this could be epic.

Do you think it would be wise to go balls to the wall with the rating? Think theyll try to keep it to more of T rating to rope in the biggest audience, or think theyll go with decapitations and swinging dwarf dongs?

Haven't been following this much. I assume it's going to be set in the 2nd age around the time of the the creation of the rings of power? Could be interesting, but I have a feeling it'll be GOT: Tolkien Edition and will change up too much.

The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earths Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Nmenor, and the Last Alliances of Elves and Men, the pair explained. Until now, audiences have only seen on-screen the story of the One Ring but before there was one, there were many... and were excited to share the epic story of them all.

This sounds like a LOT if they are trying to cram it into one season, there is about 2,000 years from the forging of the Rings to the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Is this going to be like an anthology series, where each episode covers something new? Or a complete rewrite of the Second Age to cram everything into the same time period?

The fact that it is TV-14 though at least means they aren't trying to copy GOT completely by turning the violence, language, and nudity up to 11, which would be really awkward in the Tolkien universe imo

This new show will have a tribe of black/asian/Maori Hobbits. The Harfoots. Idk what Tolien wanted the Harfoots to be, but in this they will be black, asian and Maori. Can't make this up.

Why we would even need to see Hobbits in the 2nd age at all, I don't know, but we are in this show, and they will be as described.

It doesn't, seeing as Tolkien described them as being darker skinned. If you knew that, you wouldn't be bitching about the casting.

That's definitely not how "can't make this up" comes off, coming from you especially.
