Tv series based on novels famed for their deep and rich linguistic detail

That definitely wont happen

Imagine being this focused on race.

What about haradrims then?

tyra as in tyrael
makes sense hehe

well there weren't any haradim characters in LOTR, just background no-name foreign hordes

just like irl

If they are going to show lets say sauron vs numenor then haradrims with surely be seen. le 'evil man'

What about them orcs?

Me, personally, I cannot wait to see some more diversity. There's no reason elves can't be black or hispanic because they aren't even real in the first place.

this
the series has FUCKING DRAGONS, so there can be elves of color

Edit: Woah this is my post liked post, thank you!

weak bait

I'd honestly want to see a show about everyday haradrim, their bitter war/trade war with Gondor and their betrayal of their leaders, selling them to Sauron. Black numenorians abusing their might and power basically slaving the South etc.

IT actually would fit with 'current narrative' so its not entirely impossible. I wonder how will they portray numenorians.
Bad feelings about this.

Next will be her black love interest

Can someone give me a reasonable explanation on why media companies are so hell bent on perverting and destroying old works?

Control the past, control the future. Control the present, control the past.

Rage bait generates free internet marketing is my guess

>Can someone give me a reasonable explanation on why media companies are so hell bent on perverting and destroying old works?
It's just a front for the child porn industry. They don't have to take in revenue as long as they have the public perception of taking in revenue.

Notice how the media is almost silent on the breaking news of a billionaire with a private island who headed a child sex trafficking ring, but we get daily stories about brave trans kids being bullied by evil conservatives.

It's all a shell game to keep people distracted by non-issues. Capitalist barons used to make sure to keep their white and black workers hating each other to keep them from cooperating and unionizing.

>new character
Did they learn nothing from the Hobbit

Manipulating people like that makes sense in the short term but surely there would be a backlash eventually?

too be honest this period those not have many characters

If anyone is so aware of these schemes, why aren't there any actions taken ?

Now we know for sure it's gonna be shit
The Fall of Numenor is pretty much a Christfag story because of Tolkien's Catholicism. You can guarantee the dumbfucks writing this shit forgot about that

OP, you're a retard.

Tolkien took all of his inspiration from Norse mythology and the Kalevala. Pretty much everything in that universe is inspired Nordic shit. And Tyra is a Scandinavian name.

>ay yo man, hol up. What character you got me playin?
>uhhh, you're cast as Legolas
>LEGLESS? Da fuq? I gotta play some no leg nigga in dis shit?

There will be many black characters during this period!

>not black

this is literally racist

you need to get your god damn nose off the screen and show a little patience

give it a rest you fuckwit. Tyra is a name which means "helgad åt guden Tyr", translated to aprox. "for Tyr, the God", or "in his name" or something. it is not related to mythology any more than Peter is related to Christian mythology - as a matter of fact, Tyra is a name on the rise in Scandinavia today, which proves OPs point even more. with such a rich lore to choose from, they went with a cheap option imo

All blacks in Tolkiens works are evil. Everyone that is good is white. It will surely work out just fine. Morgoth's banner was just black. Bad whites are called black.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm

If you dont like it, dont watch it. Christ, you culture warriors are insufferable.

>If anyone is so aware of these schemes, why aren't there any actions taken ?
It's difficult to mobilize because all the mass communication channels (Twitter, YouTube, etc.) actively suppress attempts.

It's like how you just found out that Apple's diversity chief was fired two years ago for saying that white people can have diverse ideas, instead of hearing about it all over the news in 2017.

any idea/rumor of what this will be about?

But that can add new layers to the story, showing how racist people were at the time and the opression of the blacks

How would you feel about a LotR story set far from the events from the film, with flint lock pistols and the like?

Attached: fl.jpg (700x525, 57K)

It is said that numenor had far better technology than the rest of the world. Jut without gun powder.

>yes goy, just let everything you ever had be taken from you, why should you care when people shit all over your culture and your heritage

And just to shut up the inevitable moron, yes LotR and everything surrounding it is literally part of anglo culture, as it was created by Tolkien precisely because Anglos didn't have a true creation myth of their own.

don't like it, don't read it

This guy gets it.

the show is set in the second age, so will presumably show the rise and fall or Numenor.
but Amazon only bought the rights to use material from LotR and no other works, so it will be almost entirely fanfic.
most of the writings about Numenor are in The Silmarillion, which hopefully they will never get their slimey hands on

Yes, keep fighting the good fight by moan on some shitty website, that'll show em

But in lotr there are mentions of guys such as turin. So what about that?

they can use names and places from LotR is my understanding. so even if that means they can use the name 'Turin' whatever they say about him will be fanfic, because his story is told in works that they don't own the rights to.

Well fuck this show then. Cutting out best bits of the timeline. Like what?

>Trying to push a meta-narrative for "Muh oppressed niggers"
>Again

LotR has nothing to do with niggers. If you still care about niggers in 2019 you are a full-time mind-slave.

Slavery is done, get over it.

Imagine not.

it's set in the second age, so nothing to do with turin anyway

It's about a down-to-earth guy called Johnny who lives in New Jork and works as a delivery man for a restaurant that makes pies topped with tomato sauce, sausage and cheese. Johnny's love interest is an Elf courtesan and singer called "Mad Donna"(that's short for "Donathriel" so it totally fits the setting you nerds) who gave up her eternal life so she could live with Johnny. Unfortunately there's a new steward in New Jork called Drumpforn the Orange who came to power by colluding with Mordor who has kidnapped Donna to deport her back to Rivendell so it is up to Johnny to save her from the evil and racist Drumpforn's clutches.

Well yea? Most of the stuff from second age that could be kino won't be there.

exactly. fanfic

Is that suppose to be funny or what?

tfw you will never see collapse of the numenor nor the great armada...

How can the series possibly make a profit with 1 billion dollar budget? Even if they reach GoT popularity it seems unlikely that streaming subscriptions will even it out. Is Bezos just blowing money for his own entertainment?

surprised shes not black

>/pol/cel humor

I thought that's what this series was doing?

>Is Bezos just blowing money for his own entertainment?
He pretty much did that with The Expanse. He's certainly the kind of guy that can do that.

Me too. But if is right i doubt that we will see that.
Shame

i think it might be about the aftermath of numenor, when the kingdoms of arnor and gondor first founded,
and they will find a way to make the numenorians look like evil colonisers of innocent haradrim

>Numenor
>king is Trump-alike, Sauron is Putin-alike
>black people are enslaved
>Deshawnrendyl escape in a boat and line up to Aman
>so much bling elves think is a Silmaril
>elves are non-binary and have colored hair
>Deshawnrendyl is taken to the Valar
>he raps about the suffering of his people
>Valar decide to put an end to the tiranny of white people
>Akallabêth
>all blacks and some whites are saved

Ah great so it will show us all that boring stuff that happened after the great evens. Sounds great. They will only talk about the great events...
Honestly Angmar would be much better at this point.

>Control the past, control the future. Control the present, control the past.

Roman legionaires didn't wear scale, this looks more chinese than anything with those dropping shoulderpads

>tyra
is this a legitimate tolkienverse name using one of his fictitious languages?
or is this the kind of name that you would expect a sassy obese negroid woman living in detroit or london's slums to have?

Are we going to see the creation of the Rings?

That would be great but probably not.

They had lands all over including those that had them.

Thars not a good answer and you know it

So if i give you one example of lets say 'exotic animals' you will be satisfied?
