Think I should protest in defense of the TV?  Poor TV, its a slave to the filth that gets fed to it.

@BronxWenchI mean I take comfort in the fact that it will be used by future generations on how not to create an adaptation. Going forward, any author contacted by hollywood for an adaptation of their works must be on set at all times and in the writing room no exceptions. With veto power in their  contract no trust whatsoever. When I said I wouldn’t let Hollywood within a light year of my characters. This is the definitive example of what I meant.

@DemonGoddessI shall pray for your TV’s Absolution. miserere nobis 

Should we worry about abominations? Misbegotten beings, Errors, Mistakes and other things out there in the vastness of infinity? Things that shouldn’t be yet somehow cling to animate life?

Lovecraft on full display.

Unfortunately, those abominations are wreaking havoc in Ukraine

Nah, that is all human. Picking the perfect opportunity when all your opponents are too busy pursuing utopian thinking to see reality.

I mean it only took them half-way through the first season to get a single decent scene. By the time they end its practically a garuntee they’ll make one good episode.

Where I’m not solidly rooting for Sauron to win.

Hmm… Seemed like there was full employment with Sauron, sounds like a jobs man!

Part of me wonders if the only reason the orcs followed him was because of the benefits and orcs where the only ones one who applied because it was in Black Speech.

Glorfindel would have required as you said a vast cinematic universe of LOTR of multiple movies. Since he’s the only elf to essentialy be upgraded to maia after slaying a balrog no less.

I can see why peter jackson had to cut certain things, the one I’m grateful for is no tom bombadil.

That said the movies are light years of this bad abomination. I’d call it fanfiction but fans actually love the world.

Brandywine to Bree could easily have been a movie – think they could’ve made Tom Bombadil a good tale.  Ditto for Bree to Rivendell.  However, I suspect the actors might’ve objected to a 12 movie commitment (aside from the niceties of job security).

Also fun to consider the other roles the actors had.  Sam is also Mikey from the Goonies.  Bolomir is Ned Stark.  And Elrond...Elrond… had a tough time on my first viewing separating him from the Matrix

Omg halfway through the season and they finally did a decent scene! Its a miracle… I mean aside from hitting rock bottom and finding a basement beneath but hey whose counting?
