Riddle me this, Dave-man.

If people saw The Lord of the Rings for their beloved nerds to kill time around Christmas, how do you explain the success of the Hobbit movies? They were blatantly hated by the nerds and thoroughly abused the source material. Yet they sold many tickets and heaped huge piles of money on the producers.

Amazon has a franchise that could have brought them five years of accolades and commercial swagger. They went woke, now they’re going to go broke in this venture.

I don’t usually suspect trolling in the Didact comments, but your level of coherence is so low I suspect this is trolling, just waiting for the sun to rise while determining who to squish into jelly.

In reply to dave johnson.

Quite apart from your clear animus against Blacks, where exactly do you get the notion that “LOTR is pagan nature worship”, given that Tolkien was a devout Catholic and clearly intended to write a fantasy series that fused Christian themes with Scandinavian legends to create a mythology of old England?

Further, where do you get the notion that orcs in Tolkien’s Legendarium are Blacks? Tolkien was clear about this – orcs were Elves that were warped and twisted into evil beings by Morgoth.

By your “logic”, then, are Blacks simply Whites that have been twisted and burned, rather than a separate racial and ethnic group?

LOTR is not as mainstream as Amaxon thought anyway. The Peter Jackson movies were an event where everyone watched them to please the nerd in their life…but didn’t really like them and atill watched all 3…making it look like everyone loved them…but no. LOTR is a nerd property and once (but only once) nerds roped the rest of us into watching it but (to borrow a phrase from the tribe) “never again!”

And then for the nerds, this is their religion. Messing with LOTR is like messing with the Bible. Making dwarves black is like making Jesus black, only worse because LOTR is pagan nature worship and black people don’t even like the outside world. When’s the last time you saw a black at a hiking vacation spot? Never. In Peter Jackson’s LOTR, New Zealand was a caharacter and the one with the most screen time. Blacks don’t want to see that and novody wants to see blacks because they’re ugly, especially after Saint Fentanyl and all that people are tired of the orcs running amock on our streets. And oh yeah, Pete Jacksons LOTR dis have blacks…the orcs. And they were the bad guys which is realistic.

one of the dumbest elements related thus far:
1 – Guyladrial insists on pressing forward in the search for Sauron, over the protest of ALL of her men.
2 – Guyladrial proves all the men wrong and finds proof that Sauron is still oot and aboot in the world
3 – her entire command DESERTS her, forcing her to end her search
4 – they return home
5 – the ENTIRE PARTY is feted as “heroes” ( sorry, HER-oes ) and rewarded with permission to sail into the West
.
uh.
that’s not how a military works. desertion and cowardice in the face of the enemy can be punished by anything, up to and including summary execution in the field.
.
mutiny / contravening direct orders will, at a minimum, get you a Court Martial and dishonorable discharge ( or whatever the period correct punishment would be, such as Outlawry ).
.
what it does not EVER get you, not under ANY circumstance, is to be feted as a hero of the realm. nor do you accrue any of the awards typically derived therefrom.
.
of course, a commander so bad that she caused her whole command to mutiny would probably also not make it back from the field alive.
.
whatever would have happened, you can be certain that it would not in any way resemble the result shown in Ep1.
