IT'S HAPPENING THEY DOVE IN

With Netflix I'd 100% sure this would be embarrassing trainwreck, but considering this is Amazon it's only around 90%.

Do we know who is in charge of this? If it's rabid SJW patriarchy smashers like Witcher showrunners then there's no chance.

Without the show people would've realized that this knee jerk reaction was unjustified because they failed to grasp the idea that it wasn't LOTR but goddamn Hobbit they were complaining about. The show will be an adaptation of Tolkien's unfinished stories the most high brow work of his career there will be no excuse. I'm afraid they will screw it up. I don't know if it's gonna be a short miniseries or not but I hope it just does a few anthology stories about Middle Earth in different locations and time periods.

like this scene in terms of the movie and I can see exactly why they chose it but drastically changing Merry and Pippin's characters sort of fucks with my head a bit too much

obviously not
it’s going to be some formulaic chosen one bullshit again with spooky mysterious sauran again and snarky, immersion-breaking shoehorning of contemporary politics into every second episode

Excited to see which up and coming actor of color is chosen to play young Aragorn.

>Do we know who is in charge of this? If it's rabid SJW patriarchy smashers like Witcher showrunners then there's no chance.

"Creatively speaking, the only writers currently attached to the project are John P. Dayne and Patrick McKay, who are acting as showrunners, according to Deadline. The duo were supposedly recommended by J.J. Abrams, who worked with them on the upcoming Star Trek 4. The series will have a full writers room.."

numenoreans will be played by arabs and indians and the writers will point to their description as being dark-haired in the books to back it up

Aragorn will be accompanied by a preteen half-black half-elf girl who is better than him in every way

This will pave the way for her own solo spinoff series

The problem is that currently entire pop culture is dominated by those who can't shut up about their politics. They're just physically impossible to keep it to themselves it's beyond their power. And it's not because they're in the entertainment industry the fault is in the ideolgoy itself. The show will be no different.

I know you’re right and I feel visceral pain because of that

The series will end with her heroically sacrificing herself to save Aragorn/Middle Earth, to explain her absence later on.

zoomers don't care about LOTR so whats the point of this

That's been done

zoomer here, you're wrong

Worth it to see Harad and Rhun if they wouldn't ruin it by having some heroic wahmen of many colors leading some badass group of heroic middle eastern warriors or something. I want to see more of those eastern lands but I don't trust them I simply don't.

I cannot even remember how they were in the books... tell me what they were like user?

It's been more than a decade since I contracted ADD and can no longer read anything longer than a shitpost

Oooooh I see what they're doing. They're not adapting the books or remaking the movies. They're just basing it off the fantasy world of Middle-Earth. Which means they can argue that they're free to "add diversity" and whatever else they want. Change way of speech, customs, history, races etc etc. Sneaky bastards.

It’s gonna make Yea Forums and /pol/ seethe even harder. Can’t wait

Who the fuck cares
LOTR movies are great, timeless. The Hobbit flicks were 99% soggy garbage but that didn't manage to ruin LOTR trilogy. This will be another forgotten footnote in the book of attempts to further milk Tolkien's withered teats

they're tall and dark-haired with blue eyes

Another part of white culture stolen and raped by degenerate leftists and turned to a anti white propaganda piece. How many more times will we let this happen? White men need to rise up and take our homelands back from the multicultural leftist socialists

I'm out of the loop. How are they allowed to do a non-lotr and non-hobbit tv show if they don't have any rights to the other material? Christopher still has a firm grasp on them right? Does this mean they'll use the LotR rights and then make up original shit and try to avoid stepping on those other works? I don't understand. If so, then they can't explore the lore and have to make up a different lore to explain everything. Or maybe they'll just do super basic shit that doesn't explore anything and just uses middle earth as a setting.

After Shadow of Mordor I was under the assumption that Christopher no longer gives a shit and now just makes them make whatever they damn please

Obviously not as firm if they managed to make a couple OC action video games. There are probably a few loopholes in the legal documents.

Are you guys ready for Middle Earths first transgender heroine?

Maybe he doesn't have any family members left to disown for having a different opinion.

i'm sorry Mr Jackson

So theyre pretty much Irish then? Plenty of micks havr the tall, black hair and bright eyes combo.

This user is for real.

Ohhhhhh i am fo'real

Never meant to make your elf-fu cry

>snarky, immersion-breaking shoehorning of contemporary politics into every second episode
Don't forget how the plot inevitably breaks down because even the writers don't respect their characters or contrivances

now you're learning their game.

Guaranteed. There will be an entire tranny brothel.

all the hobbits will be black and they will be playing baskeball in the shire

To rap music about ents.

This is gonna be horseshit.

It was announced ages ago that the series is going to be about young Aragorn set between the Hobbit and LotR. They never had the rights to any existing stories, it was going to be fanfiction from the start.

>complaining about a show that hasn't been made and about actor's ethnicities before anyone was cast or even roles announced

You guys are a self-parody at this point

They have the rights to the world and characters, but not any storylines as far as I know. So basically they can do a bunch of "this is what these guys were doing during the time you haven't read about before" -stories.

I'm not even bothering with it because I know there's going to be hamfisted diversity and other political nonsense. Even without that it's going to be garbage because nobody who understands myth and storytelling the way a Catholic like Tolkien did is allowed anywhere near television productions. I can't even stand TV anymore.

Yeah well you watch, you smug fucker. We all fucking know what they're going to do. They put darkies in the fucking Hobbit.

It has happened before you know, it's not unreasonable to assume it will happen again. People are just jaded and cynical because they've been let down in a similar way.

It will make Game of Thrones look like the highest form of art.

We've already had them. Try and keep up, newfag.

wow every last one of them looks like a fag

I wish you lower cap spelling cunts would stop replying to me.

This. They could do something truly fascinating if it’s numenorean centered story. A great way for them to highlight social injustice by depicting a society of superior humans and contrast that with a society of middle men (us).

Yep.

No doubt there will be black elves and the evil swarthy southerners will all be blonde haired and blue eyed.

I don't mind non-whites in the story, but they need to make them Southrons or Easterlings
if they just make random people of Rohan into Somalian then they're just shitting on the whole setting

Already exists, some Russian guy wrote a book about it. Idea being that since the humans/elves/etc. won the war of the rings they wrote the history books about it and made themselves look all heroic, when really they were dirty scum and orcs weren't pure evil. I haven't read it but I'm curious.

I'll actually be shocked and relieved if all of the Noldor and Vanyar and Teleri remain white. But you know these knuckledraggers will see "Dark elf" and assume it means skin color. That's true everywhere else but Tolkien.

Will /ourguy/ be in the show? I co up see an opening ~15 minutes dedicated to Ar-Pharazon and the fall of Numenor to set the stage just like the opening of Fellowship and the Last Alliance of Men and Elves.

An entire episode of backstory should be required. Almost all of Tolkien's work is just story preceding LotR.

>implying they care about the lore
>implying they won't shit on the fans just because they can

Based
By far the best version of Jackson's Hobbit

1: How many of the main characters' race will they change? My guess is 3-4.

2: Trannies will ABSOLUTELY be a part of the show. 100% guaranteed.

Guarantee there is a tranny character that smugly comments on Men's "primitive gender roles"

>1: How many of the main characters' race will they change? My guess is 3-4.
I think they are all going to be "OC do not steals" but yeah 40-60% nonwhite 70+% for elves
>2: Trannies will ABSOLUTELY be a part of the show. 100% guaranteed.
Yup. Some androgynous elf shows up and the dumb white male is going to hit on it and find out it's a dude.

Oh no, I mean NAMED Tokien original characters. Aside from the retarded donut (twitter) steal characters they shit out. They'll inevitably have to create wizards too, because the show would be fucking pointless otherwise, but the problem is, there were literally only 5 in existence and we know all of them. Even the two blue wizards in the east are accounted for, though we don't know their names.

>though we don't know their names.
Yes we do, Pallando and Alatair. They probably won;t race-flip characters that have appeared in the movies, Aragorn will still be FUCKING A WHITE MALE, so will Elrond, but they will mostly have OREEGINUL DONUT characters who will be majority niggers and cunts to "balance it out".

>Yes we do, Pallando and Alatair.
Yeah, after posting that I was thinking I remember actually hearing their names and that was wrong. We don't really know anything else about them though.

It's going to take place before the LotR/Hobbit, so they will just cast a bunch of new peeps. The lady leading the project said she wants it to be diverse and empower women. So most of the cast will probably be black and the leads will be women/trannies

Oh no, I guarantee they're going to racelift multiple main characters. But it won't be like Galdalf or Frodo or something. It will be someone who we've heard of but like second string.

>It's going to take place before the LotR/Hobbit
Wait, before or between?

>The lady leading the project said she wants it to be diverse and empower women.
Well, this is /ad/ so you're probably lying for free publicity, but yeah, I'd imagine that no doubt they have one retarded wine mom in a position of way too much power and she WILL pull some horseshit like this.

Obviously bigot

So he's going to travel Harad and learn that not all Southrons are terrorists, isn't he?

Idris Elba as frodo

Again we do, Tolkien wrote two alternate narratives about them and never decided between them so it;s fair to say that what we know about them is inconclusive, but there is stuff written about them. They weren't in the movies because they didn't have teh rights to them (they're not mentioned by name in the book). That said I would not put it past the tranny sjew cucks who will be writing this shitshow to just ignore that and decide they are both nigger sows who happen to show up and act as the mentor figures to Aragorn.

Celeborn and his importance rating tier. He's important in the books, neglected in the movies and not a main character per se, but still significant.

This one is looking better.
Now this is one film I'll watch in the cinema.

I see it in my nightmares.

heeeeey guys :) lets go around the woom and introdjuice ourselves.
We have Aleasha from Berkeley who studied modern African American culture. Power-ful.
We have David Shekelburgstein, you may know him from his fathers advocacy for including disenfranchised young girls and boys in the production process.

Then good luck trying to look for a cinema which screens it.

Remember the menes about The Witcher?

So you're okay if only 90% is?

Dindunufein

Power was wrestled from him.
He fought for as long as he could; blame the younger relatives and their lawyer handlers.

Wouldn't be surprised if Alatar/Pallando (the other two wizards) were black, if they decided to include them. Ideal for the Idris Elba meme role

He was always a faggot anyway, writing books and poems and passing them off as his dad's work. He sold his soul long before Amazon and Netflix even existed.

DOVE.

Why not just make Gandalf a Muslim? Not the real kind, but a lefty caricature.

theres literaly no way of getting rid off the original trilogy, they are just too well made for some shitty propaganda machine to shit on them

and the tall men are opressors.

Its just too easy, it hurt too much

Reminder that black people literally do not exist in LotR.

Black numenoreans?

>The series will end with her heroically soloing an entire army of blonde men to save Aragorn/Middle Earth, to explain her inclusion in the new extended extended editions

But they do.

I think some of Sauron's Men were black/brown

They were black as in "evil" or "corrupted"
And they colonized brow people, lel

Nope.
There's plenty of swarthy brown people who, because he hated allegory, do not stand in for North Africans and Arabs. But there were no blacks in the story anywhere. Not even hinted that they live somewhere far away.
For some reason, people pretend that the dark skinned half-trolls are supposed to be black people. Which is incredibly silly, since they are literally described as crazy looking monsters. You'd think leftists would want to avoid that association at all costs, yet they negrophilia has taken all of their mental faculties.

i have only watched the LOTR trilogy once and i remember absolutely nothing about it, where can i watch it?
