You gotta be almost entirely ignorant of the current social trends if you ever thought this wasn't going to be pozzed to hell and back.

They're going to try and twist the story so some wonderful woman/nonbinary vaguely brown people set everything up and the fellowship just took the credit. Fuck, I fully expect them to have it so their new characters (I'm not even going to pretend they have any respect for the actual lore, it's all going to be new characters, some will just have names taken from Tolkien) have it perfectly set up to stop Sauron for good and some white guy messes it up. I only have negative expectations for this series.

My only hope is that having such a huge cultural franchise being so obviously politically molested will force a few more normies to realize what's happening, if only a little
