Are you one of those people who can’t watch a football game with a BLM logo on the sideline?

You don’t engage the question because you don’t have an answer.

It would have been a better 1 season TV series. It’s very episodic.

Alluring and seductive would be better words. I think Sauron naturally has the appeal the Ring does before he forged it. But no, he’s not supposed to be a sex symbol.

Well they’re point blank telling you what they are doing. I’d head their words.

If I called You racist it’s because you were being racist. I said Dogmatic petty and shallow At best


Because it directly undermines the backdrop dude. It’d be like in Avatar replacing the Tibetan Genocide it was inspired by with the Holocaust. Well they’re both genocides, so who cares. No it’s completely different. These things are important to the text and narrative.

They would rather destroy a whole tv show with their propaganda bullshite than to admit their fault.

Create your own god damn book and series. Leave ours the frick alone.

This thread has gone about as I figured. Just waiting on the histrionic emotional thinkers to tell us this is the biggest event in our lives and the world is about to end.

Trailer looks really good. My excitement level has gone from 1.5 to about a 5.

Doesn't look like it cost $5 like WoT, which legit had the production values of a Xena-level show. Biggest hurdle: achieved.

You aren’t even listening to yourself, but apparently if someone falls in love with an “alluring and seductive” character that’s a huge red flag for you.

1. What are you actually scared will happen? A drag Queen story hour in the middle
Of the show?

2. It’s not your story.

If this was going to be a good show and not a representation of what the real world should look like than I would leave it alone and not want to ruin the thread. This is going to be a shite show and I really don’t care anymore. You people ruined our show the last thing I care about is ruining a thread about it now.

I am a pretty big fan of The Hobbit (book at least) and loved the LOTR books and movies. I have never read the Silmariliion and am pretty limited in my knowledge of the material covered there (not really sure if that is really what this show is based on or not). Having said all that, nothing really grabbed me in this trailer as directly linked to the LOTR stories as far as needing to have seen the movies/read the books to "get" this show. I get that some of the elvish characters may make appearances, but I had no idea who any of them were. I want it to be good, and hope it is, but some of the online complaints have me a little worried.
It looked well made and some of the landscape shots were really nice to look at. Nothing seemed overtly agenda driven in that trailer. I'll definitely give it a watch.

Not going to argue with you people. You’ve already shite on Tolkien and the fans. Congrats on figuring out how to stick your propaganda into another piece of work and ruining it. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. What a weird and fricked up generation you people created.

Yeah, but not everything alluring and seductive is based on sex. The snake in the Garden of Eden for instance is alluring and seductive promising them great knowledge. With Sauron it is based on power. Sauron is all about control and is capable of convincing you that he can allow you to control literally anything, including immortality. That’s where he comes from and why you and all those “superfans” do not truly understand Lord of the Rings.

You would know the character but maybe not catch the name.

Elrond is Hugo Weavings character from the LOTR trilogy and Galadriel was played by Cate Blanchett.

We all want to be wrong. None of true fans want this to suck. Than again we all warned everyone about voting in Biden for the good of the people and now look where we are.
