Amazon waited until Christopher Tolkien had passed away before going forward with this project. And for obvious reasons. Also it’s coming out now that Tom Shippey, a Tolkien scholar on the Amazon production wasn’t fired because he talked too much during an interview. He was fired because he kept criticizing show-runners because he said they were poisoning Tolkien’s legacy.
And of course the grandson who is being paid by Amazon is gonna be full of praise.
Sadly money will have that effect when people are stroking your ego.

Saruman is a great example of this where he talks about ripping up the trees and how the age of man will be of iron and machines. Contrasting that greatly with the green forest and the Ents.

I think Tolkien denied Dwarves were based on Jews but noted the similarities.
Which is good because the Dwarves in the Hobbit are kind money hungry dweebs.

The guy playing Sauron looks like an extra from Dallas Buyers Club

This. It’s time to shut production down. This is embarrassing and pathetic

We’ve got a Balrog!
Posted on 7/23/22 at 1:22 am to JohnnyBgood
Amazon even put a Godzilla type roar in with Balrog's growl...
Aside from that, it has to be a flashback to the First Age or its Durin's Bane when the Dwarves dug too deep.
Either way, it won't hold a candle to this, and we all know it:

The new updated trailer didn't look as good as the first the CGI was terrible. It's amazing how much better dwarves looked in 2001 LOTR vs this

I’m not a dick sucking leftist telling people to go to Reddit and you are still not the arbiter of shite on this forum.

Nothing will ever top Durin’s Bane, but it would be cool to get a glimpse of the Balrog Guard of Morgoth. Looks like quite of bit of flashbacks from the 1st age….

Is it so hard for Amazon to get this right?
Posted on 7/23/22 at 1:27 pm to boXerrumble
Well, a little google-searching has revealed the albino with the buzz-cut is a WOMAN, not a man. So, not Sauron. I posted the photos in the other thread. If you doubt it, search "Bridie Sisson" and check out the images.
Which means, a whole lotta angst for nothing.

Watching Nerd of the Rings from Comic-Con:
says they show the Two Trees dying, with the shadow of a figure over them...
We get fricking Morgoth? Even a glimpse would be insane.
