Well considering this show is essentially GoT at the point when the writers ran out of source material to copy from, good luck with that.

Is it confirmed that there's no Celeborn in this or is that just speculation?
Would that mean Elrond cucks Durin, bangs the black Dorf, and Arwen will be played by Rashida Jones in season 2?

LOTR was so good that Jackson himself couldnt even touch it with Hobbit. its really like Everquest. lightning in a bottle. never to be recreated again. LOTR and Everquest at the same time was also FUCKING AMAZING. EQ even ripped off the movie and created mobs for the game exactly like in FOTR.

PJ had a hard time with Hobbit because he was given the reigns mid stream. With LOTR, planning for shooting was done a year or so in advance. In Hobbit, he said there were making things up as they went. If PJ had been given control at the outset, the Hobbit movies would have been a lot better.LOTR was so good that Jackson himself couldnt even touch it with Hobbit. its really like Everquest. lightning in a bottle. never to be recreated again.

Couldn't be much worse. Hobbit was shit. Though I am willing to concede this AMZN show will make the Hobbit look stellar.

The Hobbit may have been a shit set of movies but at least he still got the fucking elves right, even that stupid fucking made up love triangle one.
I wonder if Evangeline Lilly feels better now that the character she portrayed is no longer going to be the worst thing anyone has ever done to Tolkien.

if it was "diverse" as in opposite of canon. nobody would have watched it. or it wouldnt have been a classic trilogy pople are talking about 20 years later. nobody will remember this shitshow TV show a year after its over. in fact LOTR's success is a testament to its non diversity that allowed a "diverse" and wrong version to be made now.

I’ve read the books a half dozen times. Jackson’s trilogy takes some liberties and leaves some things out that a lot love, but if you have plowed the Extended Editions multiple times as I have, you know he absolutely loved and adored the material. He approached it as best you could in adapting that. Sure, a different equally as reverential director would have made slightly different choices, but that was one of the most groundbreaking efforts in filmmaking and an instant classic. I used to frequent many deep Tolkien sites. I wonder if they’re sucking this monkey pox ridden show’s cock. They twisted from loving Jackson for daring to tackle it to hating him post-RotK.
