So this is the plan, eh? Haters of this show will be called racists and homophobes? - The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022) Discussion

well , thanks for notifying us all in advance before you've seen it that you wont like it.
Presumably , armed with this knowledge, you wont be watching it?

The trailers for it turned me off of it.

It's the same story. Forced racial diversity and insertion of modern leftist political agendas into tv shows...

Yes apparently encouraging non whites to hate whites and encouraging whites to hate themselves and fetishize non whites is a super plan from the left that gives us all "strength" somehow.

Its not out yet though, at least in the US. Is it being pirated already?

WHY WON'T YOU LIKE IT?

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

Cos it's not Tolkien, not by a long stretch. Remember, the showrunners are filling in their own crap around very brief notes made by Tolkien in the LOTR Appendices.

reply

[–] Kowalski (77019) 2 years ago

"VERY BRIEF" IS NOT A VERY APT DESCRIPTION OF ANYTHING TOLKIEN DID.

I actually would have been ok with that, IF they were able to be true to the spirit of Tolkien and ended up with a good fanstasy story that was consistent with his world and his rules, and had a similar....message?

But they made it clear before hand that thier intent was teh opposite of that, so, no chance of that.

Unfortunately yes for some people that is how they will argue any criticism against it. On the other hand screaming woke, without some actual legit criticism isnt helpful either.

Maybe you should wait until you have seen the show before judging it.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

No, I don't need to see the show. You see, there are these short clips called "trailers" that sum up the TV show or movie they represent enough for me to decide I do or don't need to see them, and I DON'T need to see this.

reply

"trailers" that sum up the TV show or movie they represent enough for me to decide I do or don't need to see them

NO...TRAILERS ARE MISLEADING,BADLY DONE OR BADLY REPRESENT THEIR PRODUCT ALL THE TIME...YOUR CHOICE AND HARD STAND AT THIS POINT IN THE GAME SAY MORE ABOUT YOU THAN WETHER YOU LIKE THE SHOW OR NOT.

Some trailers show exactly why I don't watch that show/movie.

In this case, I will still watch it (Arrrrr, savvy???) although after watching the 2 episodes I can say that it IS shit.

But ... I'm curious how bad will become :D

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

You can't judge a show or film based on the trailer. Some shows and movies have great trailers, but end up sucking. Some great shows and films have weak trailers, but end up being better than they look. If you don't watch the show, your opinion is completely irrelevant and invalid.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

I know I won't like it because it's NOTHING THAT TOLKIEN WROTE. I do not even want to "hate watch" it, just to feed fucking Amazon's coffers.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

It is possible that it might be well made and entertaining, even if it isn’t exactly like what Tolkien wrote.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

Jackson's LOTR movies were well made and entertaining, this RoP crap will BE crap!

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

But it isn't crap.

reply

[–] asom (6881) 2 years ago

But it IS crap.

At least the first 2 episodes ARE crap.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

No, it isn't.

reply

[–] asom (6881) 2 years ago

Well, for you it might not be. For me Xena was crap as well. This is basically Xena (or Hercules) with high budget.

For me it. is. crap

And it's crazy that in some cases even with that crazy budget they fucked up some special effects.

I can get you the episodes for free if you'd like to hate watch it. 😁😁😁😁

So you were triggered by a trailer? Maybe you should just watch stuff from the 20th century then!

Thank you, miles. Satan seems to think that all TV shows need to be watched or something.

"Dern waycist Star Wars fans!" Oh wait, I mean "Dern waycist Marvel fans!" Wait, I mean "Dern waycist Tolkien fans!" Anybody else noticing the pattern? Whenever a beloved property is destroyed by Democrat party activists, the fans are called waycists by the Democrat party activists.

You forgot Ghostbusters.
It is amazing how many people still fall for it. The average person is clearly r3t@rded if the same sh!tty ruse keeps working on them.

[–] asom (6881) 2 years ago

It works on democrats ;)

Seen Brandon in Pennsylvania??

After "if you don't vote for me you ain't black" he jumped the gun to "if you don't vote for me you are an extremist and a danger to democracy".

reply

[–] The LA Baker (971) 2 years ago

Personally, I consider myself adamantly against democracy. Democracy is tyranny of the majority. That won't suffice. I often ask people who purport to "love democracy" how they would react if the majority voted for all of their rights being stripped from them.
They always respond with confusion and discombobulation.

reply

[–] asom (6881) 2 years ago

Well, that's direct democracy. And usually it's a bit different, you don't get to vote to fuck up others. Or you shouldn't.

Democracy without the rule of law (and that would stop it from becoming tyrannical) is not democracy.

My problem with democracy is that we always end up electing idiots.

reply

[–] The LA Baker (971) 2 years ago

Direct democracy is what the mob wants in the current zeitgeist.
