Anyone plan on watching the Amazon series? I was excited at first but considering the time we live in I’m wary. I have to read the rest of the Trilogy and I found the Simillarion for 1.50. I heard the show will adapt the Simillarion. I was excited about the Wheel of Time series till I heard that the idiot director has more interest in women points than adapting the story. I’m on book 11 of that series.
So is anyone giving LOTR a chance?
Probably not. I doubt it will be a worthwhile addition in any meaningful respect.
If anybody hasn't, I highly suggest listening to the audiobooks of LotR read by Rob Inglis. They're very good, and you can find them on the high seas.
Cool! I’m gonna finish reading the trilogy in the next few months.
BBC 81 radio adaptation is better than the movies as well.
I'm just glad Jackson didn't get tl cuck out like he wanted.
Of course he did make Aragorn conflicted for no goddamn discernable reason, threw him off a cliff and almost killed Viggo Mortenson (literally - Viggo almost drowned in the river because of that scene) in the process.
He tried to shoehorn Arwen into everything like Helm's Deep (that's why the elves were there), replaced Glorfindel with her, because "not having women in the book was pRoBlEmAtIc" and women wouldn't see the movies without it. Yes even then Hollywood tried to be woke. This bullshit isn't new.
He WANTED to become King partly so he could smash some hot elf girl pussy...
Aragorn doesn't need to be relatable and Peter Jackson is a fat sack of shit who gets all the credit for accidentally catching lightning in a bottle. The book is not about Aragorn. He's a supporting character.
Also Ian Holm is a better Frodo in that version than Elijah Wood's "I cry for Aragorn every chance I get like a little bitch".
I could write my own book on how bad the movies fucked up the novel
