A perfect opportunity to not get involved. We know HBO will screw us over with crappy writing between gay porn orgies, then insult the entire audience with a crap fest finale like the first series. We know the Amazon take on LOTR is so misguided and non-lorefriendly, so incredibly woke as to be completely irrelevant, even before they get to the gay porn orgies. To hell with both shows, I will never watch then, and shove that misogynistic racism right up your “corresponding gender parts.”
I feel better now. /rant off
A perfect opportunity to not get involved. I have a feeling that many fans are being alienated and that both Amazon and HBO will take a bath on both productions. Will they learn their lesson yet? Probably not. But it's part of the process. Eventually Hollywood will learn that in order to survive, they'll have to return to making entertainment. But the 2020s decade is going to be terrible.
