Why is there so little hype? I guess they haven't shown much yet but come on, can I hear y'all say SAURON?!

First time seeing these, are there more?

Because there hasn't been a single image of a real forest or intricate set

>SAURON
I can fix him *homosexual smirk*

I want to believe it could be good. But I don't think modern showrunners could make anything good. I just watch the same old shows from a time before Woke feminist politics ruined television.

I’m hype for the crash and burn.
I mean, I won’t actually watch, but I will watch the reactions of people brave enough to take the bullet and report back on exactly how shit it is..

People are tired of woke shit

What is there to be hyped about? No, seriously, I am not bullshitting, Amazon clearly uses these images to hype people up, and most generously I would describe them as a cosplay that clearly used a lot of money.

hype is just marketing and the proper marketing wont start for a couple of months

Ah shaddup wokeness is a secondary problem, the primary one will be hack writers being 3000% hack.

If they could shove wokeness in without breaking the universe - which an actually skilled author could do, by say shifting focus to Harad - I wouldn’t even give a shit.

But no, Amazon chose to pay big for muh practical effects while paying peanuts for writers, and you know how “pay peanuts get monkeys” goes..

I genuinely can't wait for this to bomb.

>First time seeing these pictures
really?

it's hard to be "hyped" about witnessing the death and mutilation of something so beautiful
it's like watching a white woman be raped by pajeets

The specific aim of this marketing is "after you watch this show, these images will be as iconic as images of the original cast", which is retarded. The only good marketing image is ironically the one with the black elf seducing the white human, as it at least implies plot

I haven't paid any attention to this series since the hand photos released

this board was screeching about this for a week straight when the stills/trailer came out. you new or something?

Yea Forums is always wrong

I think it's companies only wanting to invest money in "safe bets", i.e. sequels and reboots. I'm sure there are plenty of great writers out there writing exciting material but their stuff will never see the light of day because Amazon won't take a risk on a new IP.

I couldn't tolerate far leftist drivel even if the film was decent. It's too jarring.

why would anyone be "hyped"?
they've poisoned it for the actual fans, whilst trying to appeal to people who would never watch it anyway

which are?

The problem is that you can't divert wokeness from hackness, both are locked in a symbiotic relationship.
When entertainment and quality are secondary to representation and virtue signaling you'll always get a shit product
A show about Harad would have to be mostly original, they'd have to namee cities, regions, people, developed allof that. They lack the talent for that. It's easier to just take what Tolkien wrote, hollow it out and fill it with their shit

>I genuinely can't wait for this to bomb.
It won't.
The money is already spent, they're gonna out out 5 seasons, market it hard and pretend it's successful

But they'll lose money and that's all that matters

It's gonna flop. It's like Cowboy Bebop, and is the remake no one wanted. In fact it's not even a remake. It's a bastardized interpretation of Tolkien's work that only uses LOTR as a platform for the diversity-squad to build their own retarded shit on top of.

I think you grossly overestimate the power of marketing

Non meme, non racist answer: People know that it will never top Peter Jackson version

Their invest companies have infinite money
I don't think I do, if garbage like The Witcher is successful.

>LOTR is going to be like Cowboy Bebop
I hope it is just one faggot that keeps repeating this because this is literally the worst comparison i have ever heard
You know LOTR has sold 500m copies worldwide and is regarded as the father of modern fantasy??
and you are comparing it to Cowboy Bebop of all things, which is not even particular popular in its home country??
just lol

>beardless dwarf
>elf needing a torch

>elf needing a torch
this isn't DnD

If I wanted to watch gorillas I'd go to the zoo

Because they've already proven that they're going to ruin it.

poltard shit aside, everyone knows its probably just going to be crap as is usually the case with these shows/adaptations

>Cowboy Bebop of all things, which is not even particular popular in its home country??
It's very popular in America and it failed in America, it's an apt comparison

this board is full of non-whites that only care about capeshit
the main cast is like 95% white but they will still cry about it while pre-ordering tickets for the latest MCU movie staring Zendeya and her troupe of mystery meat zoomer mutts

go read the books again

Faking success isn't success. When you consider the initial cost of purchasing the IP, then you add the production budget, then you add the marketing budget it's going to be a huge loss. Bezos won't give a shit buy maybe his shareholders just might.

Cowboy Bebop is of course not on the same level of cultural significance as LoTR......

But it still one of the most popular animes in the US. The Netflix show was a US production. And it failed.

Why? It went woke.

this user is correct

NIGGER

Same , just waiting for the fireworks and the damage control.

Hey faggot just stop raceswapping and blackwashing characters, okay? Go be a nigger lover somewhere else

no he's actually doing it he's comparing the most successful fantasy novel of all time, in fact one of the most popular books of all time against.... wait for it.... a fucking anime. kek

One of the most successful and popular anime of all time.

The problem is they always go "we just casted who was best for the part" but it never seems to go the other way.

What if a white guy was the PERFECT actor for T'Challa ? Would he be black panther? Nope

But we will have a black superman/batman/ironman/aquaman/ YOU NAME It

>the main cast is like 95% white
So?

yes but they look just as shit so we won't share any for you

They actually out and say "we're going to make this more diverse (less white)" and then they go and do it. They don't hide it. It isn't coded. In their circle this is a good thing. It's distasteful to the average viewer, especially when it comes at cost to quality. Studios these days legitimately think checking a diversity box is a valid substitute for a genuinely well made show.

Wokeness is unnatural, so to fit it into media they have to create an unrealistic world, which pulls people out of their immersion.

all the LOTR fans know that nig of the nogs will not be middleearth canon so amazon and their blacked special ops can suck each other off until there´s nothing left but ash and cum.
