Again, when was then mass extinction event for all the elves, dwarves and hobbits of color? Even the half breeds weren’t spared.

Only the strongest survived.

It's sad that they own the rights to LOTR and noone even wants to watch it because how badly they've failed.

I coulda wrote a better show

This is worse than Snow White and the seven magical Portland baristas.

At a point, it is cheaper to eat the loss than it is to follow through on a project.

It’s like the goal of this show is to lose as much money as possible. I’m starting to think this is some kind of giant Amazon money laundering scheme. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Except me. 4 years ago this week I cancelled Amazon Prime. Before this trash even dropped. Because I knew what was coming. And I've only been justified time and time again. I

So many people pay for Amazon Prime just for the free shipping.

Honestly I don't even understand that. We just wait till we have enough we need to purchase that we're spending above the "spend this much for free shipping" threshold. I see no value in Prime.

Everyone is overreacting. This isn't happening at scale, or to dei up old properties.


This is what Tolkien would have wanted. This is in line with his vision for a multicultural middle earth. It's all right there in the pages.

Belle? Fewer Kilometers? Please help me explain to these heathens why this is appropriate.

It's ok to criticize a show if The Gatekeepers don't like it.

I am one of the biggest Tolkien fans you are going to find. I've read every book. I read the Hobbit each year, and Lord of the Rings every other year. I was looking forward to this series so much... and it is so bad. This one was a gut punch.

I agree. Quit Prime ages ago and almost every time we order something they offer us free prime shipping regardless. If not it take a few extra days. I can wait.

Subscribe a couple months a year if I want to watch something like Fallout.
