You mean like any clapping seal who has zero knowledge about Tolkien, never read the books but might have seen the movies, once, and now has decided that this is the next cool thing so might as well jump on board ?



You do you.

I can already tell it’s a massive bait and switch pile of trash.

(no message)

I’ve read the Hobbit, LOTR, and half of the Silmarillian. I’m working on it. I love Middle Earth.

You (and OM to a slightly lesser degree) have been shouting like a lunatic throughout this entire thread demanding nothing less than a perfect (in your view) adaptation of something Tolkien never even fleshed out, all the while mocking and insulting people who are simply content to give it a chance before they write it off. Can you not understand how miserable that is?

So, yeah, I’ll do me and you can do you. I promise I’ll be in a better mood at the end of the day.

TL;DR: You’re a miserable gatekeeping c_nt, and you’re making a fool out of yourself.

I appreciate that you seem a lot less ANGRY and a lot more just put out with it. I respect your POV, and you’ll probably end up being right. We shall see.

Spoken like one who probably loves The Rise of Skywalker.

I will speak for myself and not anyone else, but when I give a criticism of why I don’t like this garbage from Amazon, nobody ever comes back with a coherent response. If you claim that “there can too be black elves hobbits and dwarves” then you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and any discussion is pointless.

If you want to be oblivious of events being cobbled together which took place thousands of years apart and don’t see a problem with that, then you’re not really a token fan are you? You’re just somebody who likes middle - earthy things wants to see dragons and swords and stuff.

From dismissing Tom Shippey , hiring a bunch of talentless hacks whose main focus is promoting inter-sectionalism & queer theory themes and releasing a series on the anniversary of Tolkien’s death (that wasn’t a mistake), there is a long long long laundry list of things to despise about this series.

How? Because knowing the source material & seeing this isn’t Tolkien? Or that I’m accused of being racist for literally no reason? Only because some mouth breathers who don’t know the story think it’s fine there’s hood elves because of diversity or equity nonsense?

That ain’t Tolkien & I’m not backing down on any of it.

I’m going to choose to like it, if for no other reason than to annoy the unhinged Tolkien disciples

You deserve the shite kicked out of you for this. You’re the enemy. You would root on the terrorists just to piss off your own country.

All the buzzwords.

Don’t watch it. Be angry. Do you.

Didn't even OM say black elves weren't an issue/could be possible? I could be wrong. Good luck with a "you don't know what the hell you're talking about" with him. He practically has The Silmarillion memorized.
