Never have I felt more secure in my long running argument that LOTR is more worthwhile to be invested in than Star Wars.
Please kill me already. Why do they have to ruin everything they touch? I can already imagine the retarded political comparisons, they're going to compare themselves to Frodo and the Elves, when they're literally the Orcs invading the West and replacing the natives.
At least they haven't touched Narnia, probably because it's way more explicitly Christian. But I wouldn't put Narnia on quite the same literary level as LoTR.
On the plus side, at least we can piss them off by posting Daily Gondor screencaps.
Idk, they did a pretty good job of just ruining it with the movies. Killed an entire generation's potential for interest in the books.
How bad were the movies? I've only seen the Prince Caspian one, and that was as a middle schooler.
Man I'm just glad the trilogy was made when it was. They can't take that away, so when amazon inevitably fucks it up I won't care since I never planned on watching that shit to begin with.
The trannies and retards can whine and gnash their teeth all they want, if it wasn't written by JRR or Christopher Tolkien, it isn't canon and isn't Lord of the Rings.
This is a hill I am willing for them to die on.
The nice thing is that it'll be super easy to call that series non-canon when comparing it to to movie trilogy.
As others have said, what makes LOTR so strong is that canon is comparatively explicit. If Amazon messes things up (as is likely), most people heavily into Tolkien will reject it as being inconsistent. A premium is placed upon knowledge of the writing that I think will be enough of a bulwark. Only time will tell though I suppose.
I'm eternally thankful Star Wars was never something I got into. For other children my age, it was their religion. For me, it was just those movies with space ships.
