The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Them aint Hobbits, then are Penguins.

When they said ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV series I knew it was going to be bad from the beginning. There’s no way it could be done on a TV based budget. Then again, I obviously didn’t count on the woke bs being pushed into this!

I notice a lot of Lord of the Rings fans, especially those on the Left, tend to sidestep or all-together ignore its roots in White European mythology and, more importantly, its profound Christian themes (which is precisely what makes the story so timeless).

Any adaptation which fails to acknowledge both is basically worthless to me. In Amazon’s case, it cannot be chalked up to mere ignorance. It’s obvious even at a glance they’re deliberately being subversive.

Forgot about this. I think it was announced a while back there would be female Orcs and progressive fans were creaming their pants because diversity.

Uhh, okay…

My favorite thing right now are the stans consuming their copium in order to convince themselves this is going to be good. Countless examples of them in the trailer comments section.

I triggered one stan on my own breakdown who reee’d at me that the lore I used off a wiki, which was just a basic summary of Galadriel and others during the 2nd Age, was wrong because I didn’t use a book, when I’ve heard Gary (who I consider a master level LotR lore guy) basically say the exact same stuff when picking it apart, so I know I’m not wrong. But this little stan had to tell me I was basically wrong and a loser in a lame attempt to dunk on me.

I thanked him for being triggered, helping my interactions, and dared him to prove me wrong.

Then he came back at me when I poked him for being triggered…by saying he isn’t triggered, yet of course didn’t say anything to counter the lore I used to disprove the trailer and basically just called me a loser again.

Then another stan appeared and goes “The second season will be good because Sauron will forge the rings.”

I’m glad I’m too tired at this point tonight to even bother with these morons. It was pure chance that I even came back across their comments as I was going over things for the channel before I quit out for the night.

Well damn, went and looked, that schill-bot isnt not even worth a reply. GET BETTER TROLLS please.

“It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like.” – Lindsey Weber, E.P. Amazon’s LOTR Series, Vanity Fair (Feb. 2022) .

Letter 188: I wish to avoid a repetition of my experience with the Swedish translation of The Hobbit. I discovered that this had taken unwarranted liberties with the text and other details, without consultation or approval;

Letter 190: In principle I object as strongly as is possible to the ‘translation’ of the nomenclature at all (even by a competent person). I wonder why a translator should think himself called on or entitled to do any such thing. That this is an ‘imaginary’ world does not give him any right to remodel it according to his fancy.

Letter 131: It should possess the tone and quality that I desired, somewhat cool and clear, be redolent of our ‘air’ (the clime and soil of the North West, meaning Britain and the hither parts of Europe: not Italy or the Aegean, still less the East) J.R.R. Tolkien Letter
