You're not giving the show a chance.
I've seen some of the stills posted and it looks incredible!
Tolkien would be proud.

I absolutely guarantee you, beyond any shadow of a doubt ... there are ZERO sodomite pervert characters in Lord of the Rings (or any of his related writings).
Who is *looks at name again* Grace Randolph....?
Tolkien’s son, Christopher tried to keep his father’s legacy true to his writing but after he died the others totally sold out the old man.
Just like Disney’s.
Uh huh. Well, you have to admit that Tolkien hasn't said a word in protest, being dead and all for just short of 50 years...
Tolkien admired Scandanavian mythology, he wanted to create a mythical history for England. Black elves, trans-dwarves (female dwarves with beards!), Asian characters were not part of his vision, not really because he was Catholic, but because they didn’t fit into an English pre-history.
It seems the producers wanted to see how many woke stereotypes they could cram into the new Rings series. Well they succeeded in putting in a bunch, what a mess.
I know what a Karen is.
What is a Mary Sue?
I think the Orcs and Uruk-Hai in LOTR were all male ... not sure if any female goblins in The Hobbit.
Basically a self-inserted character the the writer projects into the story as a means of personal biases. Character has plot amour and basically operating in god mode. A very lazy way to write a character.
According to the extra material on the extended version DVD of the movie The Two Towers, Peter Jackson nearly fell into this trap. He was going to portray Arwen as a warrior, and even filmed scenes of her fighting at Helm's Deep. Luckily for viewers, better reasoning prevailed and he decided to move closer to the book's characterization of her for his movies.
She does movie reviews on You Tube. Her channel name is Beyond the Trailer. She has over 900,000 subscribers. She is a bit of a SJW herself, she seemed to be the target audience for this type of Tolkien adaptation. For her to give a negative review of this adaptation is very bad news for Amazon Prime.
No way would I waste a millisecond watching that woke version of Tolkien’s masterpiece. I am enjoying watching Peter Jackson’s gorgeous interpretation.
And if the fascists do take over, they will exterminate the gays. How can they be so delusional?
Elladan and Elrohir as well as Arwen would be quite surprised by this.
Arwen was awesome. Her best movie, I think.
I even liked Kate Blanchett in that film.
Yes. I seen them elves getting down with Dumbledore and Grindelwald in the pale moon light. Disgusting!

That looks tight yo…
I want to film Roots with only whites and Asians.
A Mary Sue is a person who is a woman character who is absolutely great at everything without any training or struggle to master a skill.
The girl heroine in the last batch of crappy "star wars" movies is an example of a Mary Sue.
Mary Poppins "Practically perfect in every way" would be a more benign example of a "Mary Sue", but from an era when her behavior wasn't intended to be a political message.
Mary Sues can beat up men twice their size, are instantly perfect at any sort of fighting or activity that requires mental capacity. They are super geniuses, and always win with little to no effort.
That's the gist of it.
At least 500 million copies of Tolkien books have sold and billions made with the movies but someone small and insignificant in hollywood does not like the characters that made it so very successful.
They could not even begin to create such a successful story so they set out to wreck it because all they think about is gay gay gay. Same has happened to the big franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel films etc. and to tv shows that are now unwatchable.
