The all inclusive Lord of the Rings thread

This isn’t true is it?

haha. when the official LOTR account slaps some Tolkien on the table and goes 'fuck you ignorant fools'

The fact that this was necessary for them to post a week after folks stop caring should tell you something

to be completely fair, to you both, and understanding we could be on different social media platforms, and different algorthims at play, youre both wrong and the show itself is all anyone is talking about. Im gonna say 60/40 negative to positive by my reading of it, so my question is if nobodys watching it, who TF are all these millions of accounts online complaining about it?

for a random sample, go onto reddit, they have two or three subs for the show. See for yourself.

an awful lotta discussion for something apparently nobody cares about and isnt watching. Negative voices the loudest and most present

[dimejinky99]

just to ask again, how is it yourself and burt are the spear tip of whatever culture war nonsense it is today, every single time and every topic on RM?

where do you find the time?

[BurtReynolds]

Is anyone even watching this slop? Sounds like the audience has dropped 50-70% from the first episode, and no one is talking about it. People can barely be bothered to hate on it. It's a billion dollar nothing.

I'm using RM as my bellwether for the broader, normieland, popular culture (if very boomer-leaning) opinion. It's a scientifically proven instrument.

Their silence on this is indicative, not whatever corporate shill bot accounts you follow.

Seems like even the hate watchers can't be bothered with this one too much. But to be fair, they have their hands full laughing at Acolyte and various "modern audience" video game failures. It's an embarrassment of riches to choose from! A bumper crop of failed "content".

I have a very bad feeling about this

Stop. Playing. Music. Over. Every. Second. Of. Airtime.

If you require nonstop score to get emotions and tone across to the audience, perhaps your script needs rewriting. Either that or you lack confidence in what you’re doing.

it is maddening. How is the second season worse than the first season?!?!

[BurtReynolds]

The premiere of season 2 was half season 1, and it looks like it's halved again by midseason, with no signs that the decline will let up. Do they cancel or do they keep slogging through with another season?

The dumbass is mad again.

Season 1 was ass, so I stopped watching. An advanced, and little-known power move for sure.

Anyway, here's Ace Ventura in Middle Earth:

[dimejinky99]

ok now were cooking. That episode shouldve been on a cinema screen. it was fuckin awesome in the good sense. Im over them fuckin around with timelines and mushing stuff together, its working now. The lad playing Sauron fuckin NAILS it!!

[Ensign9]

Vickers and the production values are great. Everything else is fine / mildly annoying.

All the money in the world can’t fix B-level creative talent behind the camera.

Step-Elf what are you doing?

[dimejinky99]

Next week final epsiode of the season.

Galadriel has the nine rings. Adar has hers. How is this going to work out? Sauron obviously gets them back somehow

Im loving the way hes fuckin with all their minds now and we get to see gim be oenly evil (from our pov) and the way hes gradually becoming more and more so. Vickers is fucking killing it. In such a way hes the only character i care about in the whole damn thing, and its not meant to go like that haha

I love Durin and his wife too, though.

[dimejinky99]

Good season finale.

Again once you can turn your brain and tolkien fan brain off, this is quite enjoyable

[Ensign9]

I would never have guessed the wizard’s name would turn out to be Clownpenis.
