Amazon's Lord of the Rings will be a COMPLETE DISASTER! | Nerdrotic Nooner

Let's go take some Asian mythology, or African mythology and fill it with white people and other races you know, for "DIVERSITY". THEN we will see the squealing happen, Wakanda isn't very "DIVERSE" let's see more of other races there too then.

Would love for the books Dragons of Twilight, summer and spring get made into a saga.. Those books are amazing. In the middle of reading them again.
Please talk about them sometime 🙏

Only questions that matter.
"Have you read the book?"
"Are you taking it in historical context?"
No?
Back off.

Tolkien's estate company is to blame for the result, as they have approached the streaming companies to produce a TV series about Lord of the Rings, not the other way around.

Boy do i hate the word DIVERSITY. Ive just come to hate it. So sad.

Well if this completely sucks at least we have a three movie platform to fall back on that did a pretty decent job representing the books.

Yea. But lotrs greatest artistic weakness is the Britishness of its fantasy characters. Read Stephen eriksons malazan book of the fallen. Or stick with got.

Generally, Orcs are either described as some kind of complete evil or are representative of the Roman view of Gauls or Celts (although D&D did have Eastern Orcs who wore Samurai armor). This is usually in the case of settings where a once great empire is on the rocks. Bright being the exception where they seemed to rip-off Shadowrun where the Orcs latched onto any fringe group with a distinct mode of dress like Italian mobsters, punk rockers, bikers, glam rockers or whatever. But Bright did it poorly and didn't diversify their wardrobe and that's on them. Saying that Orcs represent minority groups says more about the person complaining that it does about the source material they are critiquing.

Shitty hate propaganda

So they wanted lgbtq characters in the series written by strict catholic... God I hope Tolkien's grandchildren stand guard. Otherwise we are going to see some disappointing and insulting BS

Give it a chance, it might be bad, but it could be good.

You can’t have people in gray jumpsuits! That might insult people who identify as a dolphin. That’s a micro aggression. I personally identify as a giraffe. Honor my courage! LOL

Eowyn is my favourite female character ever written. I love her so much. She is what I think of, when I think of a strong woman.

Pretty sure Galadriel was of high esteem and shown great deference among Elves, Dwarves, Men and Hobbits and her husband took a back seat. Like WTF? Ridiculous.

Assuming this is a simarillion show they’re gonna be “Orc lives matter”. If it’s LOTR, then there’s gonna be about 20 times as fuss as to Arwen and Aragorn, and Legolas and Gimli will be Gay(Not as mad at that). If Hobbit, it will be Bagginshield.

Orcs are more comparable to a living rot than an actual race, and the idea of no choice completely discredits Gorbag and Shagrat, and their idea of goin to a place with plenty of loot.

I hope Amazon screws up! The amount of money they would lose will make me very, very happy.

A billion dollars being spent to make a cherished story more diverse to include black and gay charachters...the agenda to divide is strong with this one..current politics obviously has no business being in lotr but here we go...ask youselves why this agenda is infecting every beloved franchise nowadays..is it really for diversity or is it for division...a billion is by far the most ever spent on any show or movie so you would expect it to be good right..so why hire hack writers who can easily be told to write woke crap instead of experienced talented writers that have integrity...i feel bad for the fans because it really shows that they dont mean fuck all.

This will be a garbage propaganda machine just like the Hobbit (1985) from USSR

Not even doing it. Not even doing it. Six TOLKIEN films were enough.

“It’s an older article…but it checks out.” You had that one chance! 😂

Tolkien: "I cordially dislike allegory"
Woketards: "I pretend I didn't hear that."

Its a hit job on Tolkien and western culture with regards from the communists as usual. We have to start FIGHT BACK!

So what do we have here boys? Another hit job on western folk lore i see with regards from the communists. Oh yea and its a crime to be white these days. Im black myself but i rather put out my eyes then seeing a black guy in Numenór. Are we going to have a remake of Zulu aswell with white people playing the Zulu-warriors? I think not..The day white pople and western countries realize they are under attack from within and defeats it we will have great stories again. I won't watch this woke BS ..Last jedi was enough..I can't do this again..(Almost in tears writing this) I feel so sorry for Tolkien and all die hard fans. This is very very important for many people and the communists (satanists) knows this. Communists,feminists,woke pieces of shit = MORGOTH CANT MEME! ONLY CORRUPT

The woke-communists know who everyone thinks of when they think of orcs in real life..That is why they are so butthurt. They know we see them as uncivilized animals which is correct if you ask me. (Think Antifa/BLM)

tolkien once described maeglin as having swarthy skin. people of colour canonically exist in arda. having a more racially diverse cast doesn’t and shouldn’t take away from the story you are portraying/adapting, that’s dependent on the writing. character descriptions are vague enough that you can interpret a lot from them. also, lord of the rings isn’t “platforming”, political messages are inherent in the text (environmentalism/industrialisation)

tolkien wouldnt of said diversity , plurality is what he would of called it

communists are emotionally offended by entertainment

Social Justice ..... where art goes to die.

That article is what happens when you hire someone who has never felt love or even had a real friend. the real tragedy is that woman’s life.

These points are all asinine and demonstrate the ignorance and willful stupidity of the writer.

If you want a Tolkien expert on, Gary, I'm here. No glory or attention seeking. Just a guy whose life was changed by Tolkien and his work. I care deeply about preserving Tolkien's legendarium.

These people are intolerant to diversity of thought and beliefs. Biggest hypocrites in the world are in Hollywood and the media. Every great creation that represents Christian principles and traditional values like LOTR must be destroyed by these Marxists or else they can't win their war against western culture.

why are we even trying to appeal to this show at this point? I guarantee you that it's going to be woke out of this world. If it's not I'll be corrected happily, but considering the language we've already seen I'm really not even interested in this show whatsoever.

Gonna suck

This aged well

Aren’t orcs supposed to represent Nazis since I believe tolkin was writing about how disturbing war was in England in the 40s I believe the orcs are mindless monsters because there’s supposed to be Nazis I mean literally he’s talking about war and war in England

I thought Tolkin wrote this about the horrors of war and I believe the orcs , the mindless monsters are supposed to be Nazis I mean really,no no really aren’t they supposed to represent the horrors of the Nazis just destroying and killing everything?Wasn’t this about awful World War II had been How so much of innocence and honor had been lost?

Who ever wrote that 2nd article is a damn moron. Clearly the person doesn't like LOTR and it is even more clear the person wrote this in spite and hate.

Well this is why Hollywood is so angry at the movie the Northman, because it’s an all white cast, because they’re Scandinavian, and it has masculinity. And the woke people in Hollywood are having a meltdown.

Oh, gosh there is slavery in stories about slavery. That's bad lets remove slavery. Lets make Django Unchained without slavery. What do you mean it wouldn't work?

Grey onsies and gender fluid. Suddenly Community's "Human Being" mascot comes to mind.

Gary, didn’t Frodo send Sam away twice? Sam’s insistence on being with Frodo on his journey is clearly Sam’s choice and has nothing to do with class rank or standing.

The useless blogger woman represents all that is wrong in entertainment these days. She is a "fan" of fairness and morality it seems. Well, sweetheart, we all are. But we also like to escape in to fiction. Many wish, nazis like this blogger dimwit were fiction. But no. We have to live with these phoney virtue signalling pigs. Let the pendulum continue swinging back and squash these people so the rest of us can get on with it.

I mean, he called it, but then again, everyone called it. It wasn't even hard to suss out.

Amanda (Woke journalist) :
"Lotr is one of the best stories ever but it has its issues"

Sounds like its her own issue.

Your thumbnail image is hilarious!!!!

This aged well. Well-er than anyone could have imagined.

Spot on Gary! Thank you!

Oh Gary, how right you were
