think if you're a big Tolkien fan (he's my favorite author of all time) and you actually want to enjoy the show, you're going to just have to immediately dismiss it as staying true to the source material and try and just see if you can enjoy it as a fantasy show in general. 


As an avid fan of Tolkien, there is now way I'm even going to watch this utter mound of dogshit when it comes out.

If nobody else does, either, and Amazon loses their ever-loving arse on this show (rumored to be $1B invested), the perphaps these companies will finally get the message...

Nevermind the fact that there's flashbacks in Fellowship where 2nd Age Elrond looks exactly like 3rd Age Elrond.


Book readers know that Elves in Tolkien's 'verse are essentially eternal. They can be killed in battle, and die of mortal wounds, poisons ,etc...

Elrond said ... "I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago, when Isildur took the ring. I was there the day the strength of Men failed."


But Bezos doesn't care one damn about such things. He just wanted his own Game of Thrones. What a putz. George Martin is a 2-bit grifter compared to Tolkien, and Bezos is dumbing down the work of the Master to try and appeal to the fans of a clown who can't even finish his greatest works.

Why not change the color and sexual orientation of the orcs? If you want to stay consistent with the theme of this Amazon show and make up your own liberal ideology. Why make the the orcs like Tolkien described them.

There's some female Orcs that I truly loved,” she said. “But there's one Orc in particular, who's very, very tall and strong, who has a particularly enjoyable fight with one of our Elven characters that I suspect will be, or hope will be a favorite among fans.”


Maybe I spoke too soon
