>“I for one am excited,” he said. “I saw the preview for it, and it gave me chills. It looked like they got it. I've been saying the whole time, they're gonna do it right. There's no way Amazon is gonna pay almost a billion dollars for a franchise just to screw it up.”
>“You just think, how long before it will be fresh? For an entire, at least one or two generations, it'll be brand new. They'll end up discovering our version of The Lord of the Rings as a consequence of seeing what will be new to them.”
>There's no way Amazon is gonna pay almost a billion dollars for a franchise just to screw it up. Threadly reminder: They're not paying for this. You are.
Considering the state of his career, probably a box of milk duds and 2/3 of a can of Dr Pepper.
Dominic Campbell
oh look, the insufferable twat who ruined "Goonies" is telling us how to appreciate kino
Brandon Young
Based Sam, always the voice of reason
Xavier James
Sean Astin has a name, yet whenever a minority’s name is ever mentioned in articles like these, their names are splashed all around like they’re Lady Gaga.
Benjamin Richardson
TRAILER WHEN
Jackson Diaz
Neil Gaiman also seems super pumped for the show
Charles Cooper
More like he got chills from amount of numbers in the check given to him.
Ayden Thompson
They will almost 100% have a big panel at SDCC and show a trailer then, but that's end of July. Maybe they will release more footage before then but for TV shows it's unusual to get more than a teaser and a trailer. Maybe this show will be the exception
Chase Cox
Name literally one reason why it would be bad other than outing yourself as a racist
Jackson Russell
Because I hate negros and women. I really hate negro women.
Adam Sanchez
>gay man yeah, I bet he does
Jason Ramirez
TV adaptions of beloved franchises have terrible track records. That plus the bizarre casting indicate the show is more likely to be bad than good.
Also I can't even think of a great show Amazon has done.
Caleb Torres
>There's no way Amazon is gonna pay almost a billion dollars for a franchise just to screw it up.” *cough cough* DISNEY *cough cough* STAR WARS
Owen Turner
your low T-cell count makes you sick
Dominic Wood
More like shills
Cooper Thompson
They won't be able to, infact everything about the pre-production indicates that it should be good. Years of planning, took a break after initial filming to refine the scripts and reshoot things that didn't work as well. Avoided the covid restriction impacts alot of other shows experienced. Weta workshop, Howard Shore, cast of mostly classically trained actors It's got it all
Brayden King
We will still berate this show at every chance. Everyone on /pol/ and /r9k/ have their pastas ready. You are not prepared for the onslaught
Adrian Williams
>bizarre casting Whats "bizarre" about it other than you just don't like black people
I only want to see white people in my stories. Tolkiens Universe is set in the distant past, where niggers were in Africa and whites lived in Middle Earth
Jordan Ross
No matter how normalized it is, it'll alkways be bizarre to cast niggers as what should objectively be white people
Julian Turner
>There's no way Amazon is gonna pay almost a billion dollars for a franchise just to screw it up.
We've been watching people fuck up billion dollar IP deals for years now.
They put a black guy with a shaved head and a sideways bow in the trailer. There's nothing you can do to convince me this won't be trash.
Christopher White
it is possible to say that one work of a certain culture should not be adapted to be a multi-cultural work without being a racist.
Japanese or Chinese stories shouldn't be adapted to include Americans or Europeans. Indian stories shouldn't be adapted to include Aborigines. Muslim stories shouldn't be adapted to include Mestizos.
Jonathan Roberts
>Halo costs $10 Million per episode. It's shit. >Stranger Things costs $30 Million per episode. It will be most likely shit. >Amazon will spend roughly NZ$650 million — $465 million in U.S. dollars — for just the first season of the show.
Coincidentally one of the only jews in the original cast
Logan Sanders
Damn... Do I really have to drop rudy? Ill fucking do it....
Adam Lewis
Unconventional shooting isn't bizarre casting.
Jack Rodriguez
I think they definitely 'maximised' their expenditure for NZ tax rebate purposes but either way they still spent an absolute fortune on this show
Oliver Sanchez
black people cannot pass as Britons, Celts, or Danes. That's the problem. The story was written to intentionally be an archaic mythology of Britain in pre-history. It is not about Africans. It is about the people from that region and they should be played by actors who can adequately represent people from that region.
Jake Gyllenhal didn't get a second call for Frodo because he couldn't do a British accent. Black people should have been met with the same response because they cannot adequately portray the people from that area of that time.
Colton Watson
He is probably contractually obligated, like when Sony forced Bill Murray to endlessly praise the new Ghostbusters and threatened legal action in the email leaks.
Ryan Miller
>the reddit's most overrated character's actor has a reddit take We all know why he was targetted and paid to say that
Netflix gives everything, EVERYTHING a second season, even the most awful shit, purely so they don't have to admit another godawful woke remake didn't fail. The fact that Bebop got cancelled after S1 just tells you how truly terrible it was.
Parker Morales
I want this show to be a massive hit because im not a colossal faggot and can see the cosplay coomtential for what it is
>Black elf >Shaved head >Gansta bow user, I shouldn't have to spell this out for you. They don't integrate in the real world. If they don't integrate in the film you can expect it to be filled with niggerisms. I am sick and tired of pretending this isn't a thing. He looks nothing like an elf. He looks like an offensive, racist caricature of a black guy in fantasy. A fucking modern haircut, a useless bow style (because he's in a tree and can't retreat or advance safely) and he's IN A TREE. It's like some kind of bizzaro world where being offensive is the new normal
Aaron Phillips
It was a joke
Easton Smith
Well you got me then. Good on you.
Grayson Turner
who cares what this fat pussy says plays a fucking cuck in literally all media he is in like stranger things no way he isnt a cuck goy in real life
Anthony Rogers
That mindset makes you a colossal faggot
Luis Reyes
his family was rich before he ever started acting
Luis Butler
Don't worry it was bad
Cameron Gray
>t. amazon employee
Owen Lewis
>He looks nothing like an elf how is an elf meant to look? show me a picture of one
Amazon pretty much ruined the expanse The first 3 seasons from syfy were kino S4 was serviceable After that it’s dumpster fire
Wyatt Turner
Yuck. I can't stand people who drink soda and eat candy at the same time.
Isaac Diaz
how much are you getting paid for this grotesque shilling? you're not doing it for free, are you?
are you?
Wyatt Allen
Faggot shills, eat a dick.
Landon Johnson
he got paid, its pretty obvious. its going to be shit.
Jonathan Gonzalez
I enjoyed Everything Sucks! and that got canned after S1 too, it was easy to watch 90s nostalgiabait and was pretty well received so I don't know why it got cancelled. Still, it getting cancelled probably led to Sydney Sweeney going for the Euphoria job, so every cloud...
amazon is incapable of doing anything good every game they did is just "what if we take whats popular at the moment and do our game just like that" than they pump a few millions into it and hire a team of woke no talents to execute their stupid soulless vision the do the same with movies and series they think if they just follow some stupid cookie cutter method and invest a lot of money the endproduct will be a hit there is no real interest in making anything creative or unique there is no passion no creative spark
i watched james may in japan and this guy just seemed to be pissed about how they run this docu production you can feel how he hates working on it but is probably in for the big fat paycheck
i have the feeling they try to do movies how they run their shipping business which just doesnt work
But "wokeness" already started before the 2008 crisis. Producers declaring that they wanted to make feminist movies, or movies that depicted degeneracy in a good light, or that wanted you to sympathyze with homos, etc. It just happens that the water boiled so slowly that they can afford to do it more boldly and poorly now. Why would anybody need to "strongarm" anybody if everybody was already into it?
Nolan Taylor
I thought Sean Astin was a devout christian
Christian Parker
oh I forgot Cogman was involved in the pre-production of this, could be worse I guess
Isaiah Sanchez
> Sam Gamgee Actor > Sean is such a nobody they cant even refer to him by name
