You really should act on that.

Please make sure to detail who specifically you are going to target first and where you plan to commit these acts of violence.

“trolls” leaving negative comments about the new series


So anyone who doesn't like the show is a troll? Nice to know their reviews are manipulated (which we knew anyway).

Sorry, if you guys are going to accuse anyone who's even moderately enjoying this show of calling you racist anyway, even if we aren't, I might as well lean in.


I haven’t even watched the show yet. I am planning to. I’m just here, amazed at how you insist Hollywood isn’t woke when Hollywood itself insists it is.

You’re also lying to minimize the diversity quota.

looked it up. HOTD killed 'em - 4.6M vs. 1.8M household views.
Well Jack Ruby, as is the norm for him, literally just made that number up. Amazon said it was 25 million, and I think they would just not release the viewer totals rather than lie about them if it was low.

The 25 million number being talked about seems to have been some sort of partial views (like watching a preview?).

And whether or not people watch is a different subject from the quality of the material.

Like people claiming Marvel and Disney are dead from going too woke, I think people are getting a bit ahead of their skis with the cancel culture wishful thinking with LOtR.

Bezos didn’t spend a billion dollars on this because it was solely about profit. This is a dream of his. The man is more likely to inject his own money out of his personal account before seeing Amazon cancel it.

You all can whine as much as you want, but this show will be around for the better part of a decade.

The Titanic didn’t sink immediately after hitting the iceberg.

Took time.

The damage is done, regardless.

You haven’t let facts or reality get in your way so far this thread, so why should it stop you now…anyways, those “never to release ROP reviews” are now up to 2650…

39% Rotten Tomatoes audience review.


And Amazon DID deny users the ability to leave reviews for several days, well beyond the 72 hours they stated initially.

But big corporations can do no wrong in your eyes.

Got it

Yes, the New York Times agrees with you that a little bit of racism is fine.

These requirements are more onerous than you let on, and in any case everyone should reject any such quotas. The existence of these quotas is a concrete demonstration of the wokeness you insist doesn’t exist.
