Endless nerd slapfights across five subs. Here are a few choice comments.
It’s amazing how wide the gap is between Tolkien prose and dialogue and these amateurs, even when they cherry pick it for a minute long trailer. If they actually use any Tolkien dialogue in this it will stick out like a sore thumb, like a Kardashian suddenly spouting Shakespeare.
This looks sooo bad. Like Wheel of Time with an extra few hundred million dollars. The dialogue sounds like MCU cringe.
Oh you best believe I’ll be rewatching this multiple times to try to pick out every detail I can. The shot of Telperion and Laurelin literally sent chills down my spine.
People who post on reddit about chills should be sterilized. CMV
Hope I see fewer "generic fantasy" complaints after this. Looks fantastic.
I mean, still looks very generic fantasy to me.
No
yes
Explain to me what that means.
Fantasy setting that is created generically to appeal to mass audience and ignores the core of the setting's lore and world for the simplicity general masses.
Ok. Now provide evidence of that from the trailer.
SOURCE? SOURCE?! I NEED A SOURCE

I think the numbers are showing that the tide is about to turn in a positive direction on public opinion of this show. Currently sitting at 303 comments for this post with fans excited and discussing the tiniest aspects and plot points. However, over at /r/Rings_Of_Power, the most pessimistic hate-filled sub surrounding this show, the post of this teaser only has 4 comments and I think it's because even the majority there have to finally admit that this looks and feels like Middle-Earth and they just can't bring themselves to do it after months and months of blind rage. Just silence. Even the 4 current comments are sitting on the reaction of "meh", rather than straight up rage, which is the closest thing you can get to praise over there.
Thanks kid found a new hate sub to browse
Here’s my question/concern. You look at the credits of the two show runners. Per IMDB they have an earlier draft credit for Flash Gordon from the 1980s and an uncredited writer credit for Star Trek Beyond. If that legit is all they have, why the heck would Amazon drop their half a billion dollar project on absolute unknowns?
Yikes sweaty, the only thing that matters is their lived experience and the funding of our DEI initiatives. Past experience is literally white supremacy.
===============================================
This looks like the porn parody without the porn.
I think porn these days has better acting and writing tbh
A hundred billion dollars spent on this and they still couldn't make the guy at 1:05 not look like a cosplayer.
Did the dialogue feel a bit rough from Elrond and Galadriel at all?
Both sound like living breathing stereotypes in that exchange. Hope it's shitty trailer editing, but then again I've seen what Amazon did to Wheel of Time
There is a saying in my country "start with burned potato then everything will taste good". WOT is the burned potato of amazon.

RIP LOTR universe.
It’s a teaser and you’re already whining. All Tolkien’s writing is still there, if you don’t want to watch it don’t, you can READ about the second age and stop being a downer for people looking forward to this
Not wanting the most loved and influential fantasy universe to be shit on is not being a downer. Realism and pessimism are not the same thing.
LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS
Prepare for article after article of "toxic, bigoted, racist fandom." They've already been written.

I was first inline at a shop counter and two indigenous people behind me. The shop assistant looked at us and asked “ok who is first”. I said, “they are of course, they have been here for more than 60,000 years”. The two idigenous people smiled and thanked me as I stood aside.
