I'm not thrilled. The brother who Galadriel is talking about is implied to be Finrod, who didn't die fighting orcs, he died killing a werewolf with his bare hands. Which is way more pimp.

Also I tend to doubt Elrond would be so casual talking to Galadriel since she was his mother in law.

I think they've made some writing decisions that aren't going to work out well.

I’m really looking forward to this.

I hope there will be room in the episode threads to discuss the series we actually get, and not just a constant rehashing of what we wish it was instead, like every other thread so far. It doesn’t have to appeal to Tolkien purists to be worth watching. Hell, Peter Jackson’s original trilogy didn’t even measure up in their eyes.

The acting looked pretty solid too from what they showed in the trailer.


This just proves you have an opinion you are trying to get to and then working backwards from there.

The acting looked solid in the trailer!?! Lol dude.

A trailer with Evanescence. Tight!! This show is going to be the equivalent of those big money Netflix “blockbusters” that always end up being bland with no stakes or substance.

When Galadriel pulled out her lightsaber and said, "Wakanda forever" sent shivers up my spine. Tolkien couldn't have written anything better





This show is pure trash!!

The comments are so hilarious. It’s funny when the internet is all on one side hating something

I thought you didn't support white supremacists like Tolkien?

God no. Why would anyone support a white supremacist?

I love when the elves hear whistling, they start running yelling "Sauron coming ya'll", then Sauron pulls up with the shotgun under his coat. Classic Tolkien right there.


wow the internet is going to destroy this show. These comments are glorious. OML will be leading the charge.

I honestly think that the show creators are banking on the hate-responses, hence the choice of music/lyrics.

That had to be intentional to rile up the internet.

Once they get the backlash, (a) any bad reviews will be discarded, (b) failure will be blamed on toxic males, and (c) they will get irrational support for the show simply to spite the toxic males.

When Sauron said “nothing is stronger than my army” and Galadriel replied “friendship is” I literally cried because that is so true.

When Galadriel put on the infinity ring and said “meesa goin home” I literally cried.

I loved the scene where Galadriel sees the pictures on the wall, drops her coffee cup, and realizes Sauron is really Keyser Söze. So epic!

The worst part of all this is that they could have put a little effort & made a truly decent show.

But they cut corners & went woke instead.

It’s truly been a historic level of Internet shitposting.

I’m so proud of everyone that contributed.
