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?
Because they think stories work by homeopathy. It gives them a basic, proven world and story, without the hassle of making their own, that they think they can fuck with. Said fucking is also usually done with an air of asserting ownership, and signalling a virtue, either corporate trendiness (LotR as GOT) or political correctness (gender and race bending).
In other words, I don't think they can see the damage they cause, because the endeavour is to distort the source material for their own purposes.
