Yes I know. THe pre Francis Catholics were part of a greater Christian Community. Not Catholic, but a Tolkien fan

Lazy writers mostly. The writing is dull and unoriginal, with chunks of dialog both large and small lifted almost verbatim from other equally average productions.

I’m sorry guys, if you’re lurking. But that is my very own personal assessment.

Forbes is nothing but woke when it comes to comments about anything for nerds.
Totally ignore.
Watch Critical Drinker. the Quartering. Doomcock, Disparu, or the best about Tolkien Nerderonic on YouTube.

Why do all the elves have short-cropped salon-style poofy haircuts? Why are all the hobbits gypsy hobos instead of English cultured and mannered, like JJR himself?

I wouldn’t have minded adding some black people to the humans, and maybe even the dwarfs. But it is 100% ridiculous to make a high elf black.

“Average” is not going to cover the billion dollar a season tab for this monstrosity!

I won’t be watching this.

Perhaps they should put warnings at the introduction, so not to waste everyone's time:

I liked it when Galadriel tore off a Velociraptor’s head, took a bite out of it, and said “I Am Not An Animal!” Epic story telling, I say.

They said they aren’t pushing a woke agenda. Sure, and I have 25 square miles of beachfront property in Colorado for sale.

My favorite part is where she killed 3 orcs with a freaking pencil!

It’s “free” for me. Sure as heck wouldn’t buy it.

Yeah I know. She must have invented the pencil too. It was freaking prehistoric Europe. Damn I like this girl.

He looks like the sort of person who might get monkeypox.

Tecnically, elves are immune to the elements. They don't get cold, they don't die naturally, and they don't get monkeypox.



This one is just a carrier.
