phuck off amazon
A-men.
I understand that they are going for an adult audience. That kind of counts me out because of the graphic sex that they may want.
Sacrilege!!!
Bearded dwarf females getting jiggy with hairless elf males.
Watch. They will have transgender orcs. Sam will make moves on Frodo. Éowyn will be up on charges for corrupting Merry. Gotta keep up with the times, you see.
Not sure what you mean. If all you read is they are going for an adult audience that doesn’t necessarily mean the show will have graphic sex. It would be a big mistake if it did.
Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit...

This is making the same mistake that Disney made with ”Solo”, or that were made with Ridley Scott’s ”Prometheus”. Sometimes it’s best to leave the backstory a mystery. That adds to the drama.
It is now out of the hands of the Tolkien estate, unfortunate. You’re right that it betray his memory and what he was trying to teach.
That’s why I won’t watch it, because those producing it are not deep Catholics.
These are heathens who need to have graphic sex, instead of deep philosophies, in order to thrill and hold an audience.
I don’t think they will remain faithful to Tolkien.
the family hasnt had control of film and TV rights since the sixties, when JRR sold them. Christopher would not have been able to protect. I find the story setting interesting, I think that Bezos personally intervened to nab the rights, and I have a small hope that he has enough respect for the story (being a geek himself) to not let anyone “HBO” it. He personally intervened and got us two more seasons of the Expanse which has been really really good so far (and true to the books)
F*ck Amazon. I’ll read “The Silmarillion” again.
...Bearded dwarf females getting jiggy with hairless elf males....
Half-Dwarves? Or Half-elfs... how does this classification work? Like Obama was half white and half kenyan black, but he was called “black” or african american...
Kamila is half jamcian / half dot indian ... but she is afro-american??? Shakin My Head... SMH
Thats the point though. The left (and the devil) takes beautiful things and distorts and contorts them into ugly things.
They will certainly betray his memory. It is what they always do and it will not be on accident.
In 1967, our Second Grade teacher read us the first book. I completely understand how Netflix would try and sexualize the story about little people and fairies. After all, the Obama’s are on the board now.
Solo wasn’t a bad Saturday matinee movie. It just had the misfortune of being a follow up movie to the feminist project of the sequels.
I do agree that not every nook and cranny needs to be explored. Some things are left better as a mystery.
Too bad that I will no longer use Amazon
