No, it isn't. It's an abomination that no one watches or likes.

I thought the new show was based on throw away lines in histories and they filled in gaps.
>It was an honour to represent the Society to have this sneak peak of the show, and from the 20 minutes of footage I saw, it is clear that although the storylines are not exclusively Tolkien, the show has been created with a level of craftsmanship and attention-to-detail which is unparalleled, and which is a love letter to the Professor. This homage to Tolkien includes, as we’ve seen from the trailer, Galadriel and Elrond and Gil-galad, and other characters and locations familiar to us all.
>Alongside the footage, I was able to meet with the showrunners – J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay – whose vision and passion is the driving force behind the show. In conversation, they were able to quote freely from both the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings and the Letters, and even mentioned visiting Tolkien’s grave at Wolvercote Cemetery. As people in the Tolkien community will know, this is a level of commitment and interest that can’t simply be faked. So, although they are filling in the gaps in the histories of Arda, we can be assured that they are doing this with love, care and affection; and with an attention-to-detail that comes from the involvement of the Tolkien Estate.
The conservative party chud that is chair of the Tolkien Society was very impressed with what he saw

>heck
>ya'll
maligned by who
HOW CAN IT BE MORE FUCKING FAITHFUL WHEN THEY ARE CRAMMING 1000 YEARS OF EVENTS INTO A SINGLE HUMAN LIFETIME THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS
>people with zero credibility told us it's good guys
hank hill says those words
>As I watched the footage, I began to feel immersed in Middle-earth in a way that I hadn’t when watching the teaser trailer released earlier this year. There were moments of breathtaking high beauty, exhilarating heroism, and beautifully captured humanity which evoked many of the same feelings I experienced when reading Tolkien for the first time. One shot in particular completely took my breath away and I’m tearing up over again thinking about it as I type this.
>Despite many of the darkest events of Middle-earth’s history occurring in the Second Age, I believe that the show will approach these events with the same life-affirming and hopeful tone that Tolkien himself wrote with. (Or at least, I believe the writers have this explicit goal in mind.)
Even the Catholic Tolkien bloggers loved it....
Jacksonbros I don't feel so good...

give this man the chair
>these random people you don't know said the richest man on the planet is actually really cool and did a good job and stuff :D
hmmmmm
I see they're already revving up the damage control. Amazon doesn't want a Last Jedi scenario to happen
y'all need to chill, folx. It's heckin more faithful than #toowhite PJ films
Why are Chuds so triggered over abbreviations and southern slang? Snowflake much?
WHITE PEOPLE BE LIKE "ELFS AND DRAGONS?THATS REALISTIC!BLACK PEOPLE IN FANTASY?NOOOOOOOOOOO IM LITERALLY GOING INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
better characterizations, user- not faithfulness to the original
that being said, they cant be faithful if 90% of their cast are oc's that they can tack on whatever fucking personality they want for the sake of plot
>whoa are those some literal who homosexuals on twitter praising something they got to see early
>this never happens and is definitely indicative of something
Elves and Dragons are more realistic than a functioning civilization that contains black people
What ethnicity is that? Hapa?
>using southern slang when you're not from or in the south
It's almost like we can see through yalls attempt to be all folksy and shit
Terrible bait.
>from 600 to 3,500 members
it's over
>90% of their cast are oc's
Galadriel, Elrond, Gil-galad, Celebrimbor, Finrod, Durin 3rd, Durin 4th, Elendil, Isildur, Pharazon, tar-Miriel, tar-Palantir
Plus many more tbc, more likely to be 50% OC imo
>what ethnicity is that?
Bong
We'll never have dwarf kino, lads
>In his spare time he can be found playing video games and lego or on twitter
I shouldn't have to spell this out. Every few days I have to remind myself that 50% of the people on here are functionally illiterate. You're a part of that very special group.
Literacy serves as a fairly good indicator of the person's ability to read and process literature. If someone can process literature well, odds are they've read LotR.
Now. The twitter post above is a run-on sentence with poor command of (what remains of) the English language. It's punctuated by an assertion which is typical of the average American speech. If a flag that large is going over your head, you should not be speaking. Now, I've come to expect things from you illiterate types: Tell me to cope and seethe as you grind what remains of good stories to dust.
>Trannies invent fanfiction of themselves being attractive and getting to turn down evil chuds that look like John Oliver
Jesus fucking Christ
man, never felt more like someone who was just talking out of his ass than this
thanks for the clarification
Did they invite all the mystery meats to a very early screening or what?
Isn't the Tolkien Society full of trannies and niggers?
It's a shame because it used to be a small fan club full of über nerds but now it's been run into the ground.
No, it's full of middle class/middle aged white people
Are they actually affiliated with Tolkien in any way
>TheOneRing.net
What happened to that place? I've never seen such blatant dick sucking outside of porn videos.
JRR remains the honourary president of the charity but the family doesn't have any say in what they do or how they are run
TOR.net can't sell out any harder for pozzed corporate SJW horseshit
powerful
Floyd status: breaths in the deep
>Tolkien Society
see pic related
As are most, if not all, fan societies out there. Why? Only white people have the free time and money to actually get invested to such a degree.
Just a bunch of gay progressives who worship niggers and trannys.
It's a fan club.
lol wut
sold out their integrity for a quick buck. sad.
Not hard since Hacksons movies were shit
>let's just throw an invincible ghost army in there instead of the forces of western Gondor
fukin hell
NOOOOOOOOOOO BLACK PEOPLE?IN MY DWARFS,ELFS,DRAGONS,HOBBITS,ORCS,TROLLS,ELVES,WIZARDS,GIANTS WORLD?

Fake, come on now.

If it doesn't matter, why change it?
If it does matter, then you shouldn't change it
