Southernfatman 05/17/22 8:18:44 AM #12:	Most are just bitching about the minorities being cast. Personally, I'm uneasy about it and am worried it won't feel like Tolkien at all.

Ricemills 05/17/22 8:36:39 AM #16:	Turtlebread posted... quick somebody post that dumb fake Tolkien quote that russian bots were spamming on the trailer iirc ir wasn't exactly fake, but more like (deliberately?) misattributed and badly translated from English -> Russian -> English. the actual quote was from Frodo: The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined and twisted them, and if they are to live at all, they have to live like other living creatures. so it wasn't Tolkien's quote, but from a character in his creation, and Frodo isn't exactly a wise person. --- You have the right to remain silent.

s0nicfan 05/17/22 8:08:46 PM #19:	It doesn't really matter because Amazon doesn't even have the rights to the era they're trying to adapt. They're trying to build a series by compressing the entire second age into a single lifetime and then filling it with filler stories based on Cliff notes included in the original Lord of the rings trilogy because they don't actually have the rights to use the simarillion. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
