Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

Honestly, they should just mute the entire fucking cast of actors from saying anything. Most of the shit I heard about this show wasnt directly from the show, but from some interview with its trash set of actors. That would at least have let more people watch the show and form their own opinions. I didnt finish the season, and I guess I should? But it wasnt really based around hate, just disinterest. I legit forgot about the show for a while.

Watch the scene with an elf fighting an orc first. That's the only 4 minutes I've watched and it was fucking horrible

Shit makes the original Mortal Kombat movie look like it had a higher budget. Just horrible choreography.

This is almost always painful. As a kid I remember my parents occasionally running in to tell me that an actor from [insert movie I liked] was on Good Morning America or whatever show, and while I appreciated their good and wholesome intentions, my internal response even way back then was usually...yeah, and? Who gives the slightest fuck about some actor's opinion?

It's worse these days as everyone feels that they absolutely must wring a bunch of modern political sensibilities out of a show / film that in truth has dick-all to do with any contemporary reality. Good, bad, or ugly, Rings of Power is pretty basic high-fantasy in a Tolkien skin. Yeah there's some inane surface-level diversity casting (see my show doesn't actually suck, you're just a racist!), but there's really nothing there beyond that.

right mindset = this is not Tolkien and it doesn't represent any of his ideas and believes, it's a heavily bastardized fanfiction
Saying "some" is a monumental understatement.

Even Twitter has finally had enough with this show.

Community leader? Communist negro Hobbits?

Oy Vey!

O lawd them rings of powa

That actually looked pretty good. At least there were real battle scenes, so we do not get a season of armies getting ready for the battle.....

did they announce a character was going to be gay or something? heard someone say it could be celebrimbor

I saw a sign that this started up again last night:

First 3 episodes are getting good reviews. Read it still has its issues but a lot better than s1. Maybe Ill give it a shot this weekend.

Admin Rename this bitch to Rings of Power of 1, 2, and many, or whatever shit that comes to your mind?
It has almost nothing to do with LOTR and Tolkien.
