https://winteriscoming.net/2021/04/19/amazon-spending-465-million-the-lord-of-the-rings-series-season-1

Here is the trailer to remind you of what I am talking about.

The entire original Lord of the Rings Trilogy cost around 281 million to make.

For reference, game of thrones Season 4 cost around 60 million to make.

Amazon is literally going to lose all the money on this show calling it right now.

Release date - September 02 2022 :marseypopcorntime:

I don't need to see an incorrect version of Galadriel's story, I don't need to see her with a masculine look to feel represented, actually I think it's pretty insulting. It's like they want women to appear like men, instead of celebrating the fierceness of femininity as it is.

wrong. From a position of privilege equality looks like oppression. This woman just doesn't understand that the show is also representing masculine looking female bodies which are a part of our everyday reality just as much as women who look like her.

Anyone else remember Peter Jackson and Phillipa Fran saying "Yeah originally we had Arwen turn up at Helms Deep but it just wasn't working and we realised we didn't have to put a sword in a Woman's hand to make her strong so we went back into the appendices...."

new conspiracy theory, what if the entire show is Amazon AI generated and it knows something that we don't and for some reasons this show is going to make billions because it just hits the prefect spot in our ape psyche when we watch it?

Terf Queen JK Rowling is the most shameless Joseph Campbell plot-chart b-word in the history of pop culture and it worked out amazingly well. George Lucas and the Matrix gals and Game of Thrones guy thought they were smarter than him, but not Rowling. Look at the fricking results lol. Joseph Campbell plot-chart forever.

Does that include the money spent on getting the rights to make the show? Seems like way too much, that's way more than even capeshit movies with high billing actors.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The rights cost like 200 million or something. The total number of seasons is expected to cost upto a billion.

Yeah no clue where the money is going. Even your CGI will hit a peak at some point where no matter how much more money you throw at it the tech just isn't there.

I think it will be watchable, just not gonna make the money it cost or anywhere close.
