They want to remake Middle Earth into Game of Thrones. Spread the word: Maybe if fans object harshly, Amazon will change their mind.

I’ve never seen a single episode or even minute of Game of Throne. However, someone here once called it soft porn.

If Amazon decides to put soft porn in this series, then good luck on ever getting Tolkien’s estate to release First Age material.

The Tolkien heirs have probably been waiting for a long time to cash in on the fantasy craze that JRR Tolkien pretty much started - let's face it, the entire fantasy genre in literature and now in television pretty much exists because of 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Christopher Tolkien served as a faithful and brilliant keeper of his father's legacy, and I'll be forever grateful to him for 'The Silmarillion' and 'The History of Middle Earth' (especially 'Morgoth's Ring'). But he's gone now and I guess the family has a right to make some money off concepts everyone has ripped off for decades. I didn't see the Peter Jackson movies - I know what Aragorn and Gandalf look like in my mind and I don't want to see what Peter Jackson thinks they should look like. I will not watch any TV series based on Tolkien's work. The books are always there.

Perverting and destroying anything that is good and right is what the left is. They are the tools of the devil.

Footnotes:
1 - The next two verses are said to have been made up at the Ankh Morpork Heroes Gym and Public Baths during a meeting of the Leather Posing Pouch Society. This is denied by the heroes, who want to continue life in their current form ( and species). It is backed up by the proven fact that heroes usually spell their names with an X; and usually get the spelling wrong. And besides why would they want to slander a bunch of old men in long red dresses trimmed with lace. Wizard’s counter with that’s not stopping anyone because any stupid nit can hire a scribe and who need to write words down for a song anyway. And what really goes on down at the Gym since everyone knows that heroes don’t bathe, so where do they get off calling it a public bath anyway?

2 - The rest of the verses were written by th first year students of Unseen University; who weren’t in a position to know any better; at least not yet.

3 - no, this is not a repeat of a previous verse.

4 - yes, this is a repeat of a previous verse.

The Tolkien Estate should’ve never agreed to let Amazon produce a LOTR series.

Game of Thrones never pretended to be a family-friendly show. Whereas Tolkien deliberately downplayed the lovemaking because he wanted to tell a tale for all ages.

I never tried to watch Game of Thrones and now this just reinforces my astute wisdom.   I had no idea there was smut in GoT.   I stopped watching "Outlander" with the male rape scene.   As a Science Fiction fan since the early 1960's, I know an author and actors should be able to create a time travel or period film without having to resort to debased titillation.

Tolkein was merciful in not addressing this subject.

Do we really want to know if Dwarven women have longer beards than the men
