I looked at the thread because I like Tolkien's work and I enjoyed the films, even The Hobbit, so actually it did interest me. All most of you seem to be doing with Amazon's version however (with apologies to those that don't fit the group) is pre-judging something and slating the entire series having only seen a two minute trailer and reading a few blogs from other people who have only seen a two minute trailer. That's what's actually hysterical.
And for the record, I haven't speculated on the show at all, just voiced my opinion about people who won't wait to see a show before they rubbish it completely. This is the internet however, and there's millions of trolls with nothing better to do, so I'll leave you to it.
We're judging what we have seen, and are entitled to do so, and you are entitled to do whatever you like. Why are you on a forum trying to stop discussion, and censor people? That seems really odd to me...isn't that want forums are for?
And you're factually inaccurate as people have not just speculated on one 2 minute trailer we have been speculating on every little piece of info, photo, interview, trailer there has been, and also of course amazon's failed woke propaganda campaign...including the laughable "influencer" show, the planted media articles insuating as usual that if you don't shut up and consume you're an 'ist or a 'phobe and need to be "educated" by superior moral beings...
So really, we're better educated than you on the subject as we've seen and read much more than one 2 min trailer contains.
Again, I always find it so incredibly weird when people who do not wish to speculate, get so upset when other people do and try and stop them...
