You want change, take real action.
What "real action" are you suggesting?

Andrew Garfield Defends Watching 'Harry Potter' Movies...
Guess what?
You can't read.

He's only a fan insofar as he can adapt LOTR to fit his maligned world view.
He's been talking about LotR in public for 20 years. His goal in bringing up the Balrog on the Colbert Report in 2007 was just to snag a co-writing job on a movie sequel in 2026?
The director of It Follows and Under the Silver Lake had to make a Speilberg rip off for JJ Abrams to get out of director jail. Bummer.

You don’t know me
I mean, you've let everyone know you are the kind of person to start a question thread and then tell everyone their opinion is wrong, to judge people for having those opinions you disagree with, and to insult your family members in a public forum.
I bet a bunch of strangers probably feel like they know you enough at this point.

Seeing some of this already developing in this thread
Because everyone complaining about the show is citing the race of the developer and races of the actors as the problems?

You can't believe that he seriously believes there is already a 6 page thread on this reboot at the top of the M/TV board?

Damn. That makes it even more impressive.

Point to wear on his IMDb profile where it says he’s remotely qualified to help write a Lord of the Rings movie.
Or any movie.
I'm not defending this decision or idea. I said in my first post that it will probably suck if it ever actually exists, which i doubt.
You said you don't believe he's a fan. You've clearly said that because you don't like him, and that's clearly dumb. Two opposing things can both be dumb.

Fine if he is, but the guy lives his life being something he isn’t and now all of a sudden, he’s a Tolkien fan?
Why? He's been talking about Lord of the Rings on TV since The Colbert Report. Almost 20 years is "all of a sudden"?

Thank God podcasts don't ever have this issue...
He's a catholic who has made his obsession with Tolkein a key piece of his public persona. This will probably suck (if it ever actually comes to fruition, which is unlikely), but it isn't surprising.
That's modern metalcore, heavily influenced by nu-metal. 20 years ago, you'd get laughed at for calling a metalcore band metal. Just look at how long it took Between the Buried and Me and Every Time I Die to outrun the subgenre label, even though they'd long evolved past simple metalcore (especially BtBaM).
I would take Spiritbox over this, even though they're committed to that annoying djent sound. Heriot is a current and very good UK metalcore band, though their sound has a distinct sludge influence.
I will take Guilt Trip over Sleep Token, though.

get away from this whole comic relief bullshite.
You want the movie to get away from an absolutely integral piece of every successful version of Spider-Man (in both movies and comics)?
Powerful does not require humorless. Are the comics in your closet exclusively from the worst Spider-Man arcs in its entire history? Or from when Otto inhabited Peter's body, maybe?

absolutely a mental issue to not want children
Is getting online to type a response to something a biological imperative, or is it a series of choices?
I guess your series of choices, in which you employed your own reasoning and logic, should be considered a mental issue. Do you need a psych rec?

She's like Pattinson but more intense. She's only taking the weird smaller roles.

Highly
Limiting your significant other's screen time is weird.

Best Editing - most dizzying cuts, even if jarring
Are you suggesting that having this category is a joke? Maybe, but certainly not because of what you just said.
It never goes to the movie with dizzying cuts. It almost always goes to the Best Picture winner.
From 1981 to 2013, they matched every single year.
And I don't think Americans are watching the show less because of who wins editing, or because the sound category is now just one category that rewards a loud movie instead of two.
