Peter Jackson: let's engrave symbols on the inside of breastplates, it adds to ambience even though it will never be seen.

Amazon: Eh, close enough.

What a dumb fricking design. I get that at this point in the timeline Minas Tirith is still Minas Anor i.e. "Tower of the Sun" but you can have an engraved design instead of this giant decoration that will snag on every doorway.

Also having a black woman ruling Gondor is an egregious break from canon since we have a complete list of all the kings and stewards who ruled the kingdom since its founding and they were all men.

Black woman ruler of Gondor

Wut......

I dunno who Amazon is making this show for but I can't see non-fans sitting through it and I can't see fans tolerating the forced diversity shit.

They got nonfans posing as fans gaslighting everywhere. "As a Tolkien fan who cares if they have pocs that frick up the canon right? If you say that goes against the lore, that's racism sweaty".

God it never ends

It clearly isn't about making money. This stuff turns way more people away than it brings in. It's pretty simple to see; it's not about the money. And that should make you ask questions, like what exactly it is about and who could possibly convince Hollywood to abandon the pursuits of profits and do their bidding. The answer is pretty obvious if you know where to look. This is the most basic and obvious proof of the (((NWO))) and it's power.

It seems like incompetent woketards have a tight grip on every single franchise that is based on nostalgia or a well-known name and every single one of them turns out dumb, boring and generic. I recently watched the Witcher season 1, yeah, I'm not watching season 2.

What do they get out of it

Clueless management puts their "best people" on the franchise, the "best people" turn out to be all members of the cult that like every cult are very well connected so the franchise either bombs in which case they blame the chuds or it does moderately well because of the absurd amount of money wasted on marketing so management considers it a success even though it usually just breaks even. A fine example of that is the Wheel of Time that did pretty well on amazon, not that well though considering the hundreds of millions wasted and the fact that Reacher, a cheap as frick chud show, absolutely annihilated it.

They're in every entertainment medium, pumping out shit after shit. It wouldn't take much to make something better than these cultists, but they own control and must stamp out any chuddery.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but i think they just add "diversity" to shows like this just so if the show flops, they can just blame racism and sexism. Seems to work as that's generally Disney's excuses everytime people hate the Star Wars shit they keep pooping out.

If you work at a big company imagine that lady (or occasionally, that guy) who gets to send company wide culture emails about equity/awareness/inclusion/kindness/teamwork/diversity stuff every Monday, and relishes in it. You aren't sure what they actually do 80% of the time, but maybe it involves frequently browsing reddit and twitter on the clock while being located in a hustle and bustle city.

I figure hollywood is just soulless big companies and they have an entire meeting room of that person who get to make big decisions about the movie except even more narcissistic and self important as a side effect of cocaine

Some are true believers who just want to btfo white men.

Some have the delusional belief that you can double your market by making a male focused action-adventure franchise female-focused instead.

Unless the unlikely event occurs that it's actually good, I'll just ignore it. If people actually wanted this shit to go away, they'd talk about something else and let it sink by itself instead of giving it constant publicity.

Talking in a general sense of course, in a drama sense it's all pretty funny.

It will be panned by audiences, and disingenuously praised by "critics" while articles circulate gaslighting people that the show is actually good and most negative views are due to "review bombing" and white supremacy.

Some diversity quota hire had an r-slured idea that intelligent people were afraid to say no to, and then another diversity quota hire made the thing and the intelligent people were afraid to say it looked r-slurred.

I wish we still were in the habit of colosseum amusements.

We would all gather, get our refreshments and toss these people in to the pit.

Perhaps when we revive the practice, the center will just be a wave pool. Victims will be invited, but not notified of their purpose. We can break their legs then throw them in and watch them drown.

Imagine this happening to your closest family member and thousands of people laughing at your surprise.

So far the series doesn't look terrible. Black and jeet Dwarves and Humans doesn't really violate lore.

From what I've seen so far the elves are still white so Tolkien hasn't been blatantly reconned or anything.

I say wait till it comes out to judge it.
