The first season was fake too. They never made a LOTR TV show.

I love you.

Remember when we were stoked for the Amazon show? Good times. What a bunch of dumbshits.

Not me. I knew exactly what it was going to be. If only you would listen to me.

Hard pass. You're an idiot who hates basically everything!

Except John McAfee or whatever.

After looking into it more it was doomed from the start. They don't have enough of the the rights to do it correctly. They only have pieces to work with. What they should have done was set the narrative in the Southern and Eastern parts of Middle Earth showing the resistance and wars following the Blue Wizards (assuming they could use the Blue Wizards) that Tolkien hinted at. Without their efforts the West would have been outnumbered by the force's of Sauron (at least one version says that's what happened). They could have done whatever they wanted and made it super diverse in a way that made perfect sense and no one would have said boo.

Getting the band back together. Will mortensen and McKellan come back for it? They might

This part of the tale mainly involves Aragorn and Gandalf

I doubt Viggo comes back. He seems to have too much integrity for some cash grab bullshit like this.

I can't see anyone coming back for this. Sounds as cheesy as the TV show.

this is a sequel of the movies? based on what?

It's based on Warner Brothers desire for money

sure, they always had that, but is there a book or something or this is a new story?

It would be amusing to see a HBO LOTR series go up against a season of that RoP shitshow.

Gollum had invisible lava armor the whole time.

i guess no one knows hu

Apparently it's a prequel to the original trilogy - Gandalf tasks Aragorn with tracking down Gollum.

Looks like it was previously made back in 2009 as a fan film - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_for_Gollum

Like that dog shit Amazon show this is also based on the appendices to the original trilogy.
