I consider myself a pretty big Tolkien fan. I first read his stuff about 50 years ago. I have absolutely no interest in this show. Not even slightly tempted to watch a minute of it.
Democrat scum soil whatever they touch.
This show is for people who think Tolkien ripped off George R.R. Martin.
Same -10 years. Every male seem effeminate, and every strong "leader" is female and/or black. Forced diversity where it should not exist (Elves). Pass.
This is two failures who think they are better then Tolkien.
Which the money they had they should have been able to produce something at least passible.
But... they have no talent.
and I personally know McKay, the showrunner. He’s a fag lib of the highest degree. But he’s not the type to throw his politics in the open unless he’s got something to gain. He’s obviously taking orders from the Disney higher ups who are the faggest of the fags here in the biz.
I gave it a chance. I made it through the first three episodes before giving up on it. It's just not very good.
HBO's "House of the Dragon" is much better. HBO really knows how to do this kind of stuff. I was hooked from the beginning and so far, I haven't been disappointed with a single episode (I do miss the younger, much hotter Rhaenyra Targaryen though but the current actress is doing a good job).
