More Go Woke Go Broke: Amazon's Lord Of The Rings
Fucking terrible. Black dwarves? Black elves? Gay Elrond? Warrior Galadriel?
Bullshit garbage. You want a black dwarf, black elves, gay orcs and lesbian witches? Great!! Make an original show like that and I will check it out with an open mind. BUT LEAVE J.R.R. TOLKIEN ALONE! Jeff Bezos wanted his own Game Of Thrones and it looks like he will get it. Meaning, it will be (ultimately) a giant shit show. However it will be massively fun watching this billion dollar train wreck go off the rails. ![]() ![]()

It's been suggested that since this is a prequel to the movies and there are no black elves in the movies, that at some point some kind of "ethnic cleansing" took place in the shire. Amazon seems to have inadvertently introduced an elf holocaust into LoTR lore...

I don't have a problem with adding black people into the world, but when the roles of characters are getting too much changed from the original (like Galadriel maybe), i would not like it.
I didn't liked the trailer also, but I will not have an final opinon without seeing the first episodes/season. Don't forget Jackson also changed A LOT and the movies also where CGI fireworks. So some arguments makes no sense - except u hate the Jackson films also. Anyway we will see. |

A gay elf would actually make a lot more sense than a black elf.

In Tolkien's books, elves are constantly described as being "fair" which means beautiful but also white skinned. In fact, a very light shade of white skin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf
The word elf is found throughout the Germanic languages and seems originally to have meant 'white being.'

Maybe you should stick to Mama Mia. This woke nonsense has infected nearly every movie and tv show produced today. The insane thing is, even the people this garbage is made for do not like it or watch it! So all it does is end up pissing off (and disappointing) everyone.

Ignore it if you want, people don't care. Any review before seeing more than a 1 minute fast cut teaser is just ridiculous. Maybe it will be a fail and then u can rant 24/7 - but right now it's just stupid. Maybe it will be much more better than expected - and sometimes a lower expectation is better than a big hype. |

They added characters not in the book.

Elves don't exist, and giving a shit about how they're depicted in a TV show is ridiculous.

BUT if you love the work, want to respect the lore, just want to see what you love brought to life and NOT altered to fit woke priorities then this type of desecration and woke appropriation is disgusting and offensive. And trust me: the ones doing this to Tolkien know EXACTLY what they are doing and why they are doing it. This is why I am rooting hard for this debacle to fail.

Did u know, that the Elves did not come and help in the battle of Helm's Deep and Haldir did't die there? Did you know that Glorfindel saved Frodo from the Nazgûl, not Arwen? And that his role is pretty important and was just ignored in the films? Also Arwen was a very small side character in the books and was blow up to a main role in the movies. Did you know that there is no eye from Sauron on the tower? Tolkien always mean it in a metaphoric way. Jackson just made it for the movies. Did you know that there where A LOT of more battles all over middleearth in the time of the LOTR movies? Sure they can't be all in the movies (just cause of time), but we also did't get any informations about the actual situation in the world. Did you know that Legolas was not a fighter who always did some crazy funny stunts like we saw multiple times in the movies? Did you know that Sarumans troops have occupied the Shire and the Hobbits did not return to a friendly home sweet home? Did you know there was no fight between Gandalf and Saruman in the tower? Did you know Faramir's character was changed very hard in the movies? Did you know that Frodo is fukn 50 years old? He don't had the ring before, so why he looks so young in the movies? ....I can go on for hours. So if you hate adjustments of lore and facts in the books, then start fucking hate the Jackson movies too or stfu with your negativity. Just ignore the series and read the books. |

I mentioned how elves are referred to in Tolkien's books, not in the show. Since this is a show based on his works, I think that is relevant. We all know elves don't exist. Read the above sentences again if that's not clear. |

Hold on! You do know MLK was a real person, right? Not a fictitious character out of a book.

We are talking about interpretations of a fictional world and not about real life history facts. You can take it like this: Tolkien never said there are no black elves, drawfs, hobbits and so on - so it's not wrong. There are black people of human in the south, the world is not finished at all so it's not nonsense to assume also black variants of the different races exist. So far all black people are the bad guys, to change this is an acceptable way to make the whole world a little bit more round and realistic. |

The Lord Of The Rings was, for decades, an impossible film to make. Then technology improved enough (and Jackson even invented some) to make the sprawling epic. To film all three movies at once, over two years and $300 million total, was impressive and unprecedented. But to race and gender swap characters, taking them from the white British-inspired 'alternate history' of England and turning them into a multi-cultural woke mess is the problem. No one likes this shit, not even the multi-cultural woke mob it's meant for. Quote:
This Amazon debacle is a shit show for sure. Enjoy it if you want but that just means you have no taste, no respect for the source material and like watching pure crap. Enjoy!

No, unfortunately I did bother to read, and it had nothing to do with what I posted, or anything else, so I explained what I posted in a simpler way to help you understand.
Getting a reading lecture from someone who complains that a simple blog post is "difficult to to read"[sic] is a laugh I appreciate though. Quote:

Just write this off, ignore it, or even give it a chance. If the story and characters and themes are okay, and there's nobody wearing an "Elf Lives Matter" t-shirt (I would watch it just for that though) then what's the real problem? I mean this probably will be terrible, but not because of 'diversity'. And the diversity arguably makes the story more accessible or relatable to people who may not otherwise pick up the book, which is what matters.

Which part do you think I'm kidding about? MLK being real, or that elves aren't?

I thought all the Hobbits were gay. It was just unspoken.
