1. You’re calling him a money whore,‘I’m pointing out his actions. You life to infer things and project your opinions on others. You basically called the grandkids money whores for making this deal with Amazon before you checked your dates.
He heavily criticized the LOTR trilogy movies and then turned around and sold the right to the Hobbit.
He resigned from the Tolkein director of the trust immediately after they finalized their deal with Amazon.
2. I have said before if this is one big BLM show or if there is a random forced trans story line I would be upset as you. But I haven't Seen the show.
You got this upset as soon as you saw a black dwarf.

Stunning looking, but the acting and writing seems less than epic.
Will certainly give it a try though.

Look at you spinning on your way down from your high horse.
I will Remind you, YOU are the one who thinks this show is a sellout.
I’m Just pointing out that Christopher was still in the drivers seat when the deal was signed.
You also pointed out that he panned the original LOTR trilogy. Yet he sold the right to the Hobbit to the same studio and director.
I am a fan. I’m a Star Wars fan, does that mean I have to love every money grab deal George Lucas has made?

Tolkien would have been pissed at the Jackson trilogy, specifically leaving out the Scouring of the Shire.
Yes because you definitely know what a guy who has been dead for 50 years would think about one scene being left out of a movie that he never would have thought would ever have been made He'd hate the whole movie, not that they left out the Scourging of the Shire. quote:
But that was due to the fricking studios demanding that he make it a trilogy when there was not enough material to do it. He pulled off all the scenes he needed to get right and then winged the rest since he wasn’t given enough time and they wanted way too much footage out of Jackson.
I would have bet my life that you were going to say this exact sentence at some point in this thread. You've had this dumb take since the movies came out and say it in every LOTR thread like it's something everyone needs to hear. Getting four scenes right out of 9 hours is not an accomplishment. When has this ever been a legitimate take on any movie that isn't good? "No it's still a good movie and the director can't be criticized because they got one scene right!"
I agree with you that I think this is going to suck. I am not expecting anything good and the main reason will because it's not a faithful rendition. But by the standards you have with this show, you should also be shitting on The Hobbit. Because it wasn't faithful either.

Also guessing that the fiery scene Galadriel is shown is the First Kinslaying
Or it could be Galadriel remembering the The Dagor Bragollach, or Battle of Sudden Flame. Either way, looks like we’ll be getting a First Age prologue.

I’m a fans I enjoy The books and the movies. I enjoyed The videos games.
I know this eats at you because I don’t agree with you but you can’t stop it.
I think Christopher Tolkien can both love his fathers works and enjoy the money they bring him.
I also don’t care what he thinks about any of these shows. He hates the first trilogy so I clearly Don’t have the same priorities as him.

Well, at least it doesn't look cheap.
No idea how good the story or acting will be based on that though.

Big Fan.
Read the a hobbit and the LOTR trilogy. I’ve never had an urge to read the Silmarillion but I’m going to read it and enjoy it just to spite you now.
As to the themes, I’m still waiting on a theme that you know has been ruined.

The trailer is getting ratio'd pretty hard on Youtube.

Galadriel wasn't some Xena Warrior Princess.
"Harfoots" are only being used because the show can't get the rights to the term Hobbit. None of those characters shown are from any of Tolkien's works.
Elrond was born during the War of Wrath (actually the worst part when Melkor was about to win and had basically scorched most of Beleriand). So he saw the worst of the worst, including dragons and Balrogs, etc.
Just because something looks pretty doesnt mean it's going to be good. Amazon is also probably trying to tame down their previous stupidity in this first trailer to appeal to more people because of all the negative reaction to the show so far.
We will see.
I still have no hope for this experiment because we all know their true motivations aren't to make the best Tolkien work possible...

Their motivations are to make a ton of money.
The didn’t pay a quarter billion for some social agenda.
Amazon has put out the Terminal List and Reacher which aren’t exactly woke.

The visuals were pretty. The dialogue seemed cheesy and cliched. The trailer didn't have a Tolkien feel to it at all. It seemed more like some random paint by numbers fantasy series.
