Time for my regular rant about how shit this series is going to be. It's gotten to the point I'm almost excited to see just how awful they're going to treat it. Really the only positive hope I have for this series is that it's so bad it helps a larger amount of people than usual realize how utter trash the current woke media trends are. I think something people have been missing from concentrating on how there will obviously be unnecessary insertions of gays and "diverse" character, is the odds of this also just having terrible writing. Looking at recent new shows should give you an idea of how bad it's going to be, and attempting to be a part of the LOTR series will just make it stand out as even worse. It doesn't help that "continuity" seems to have become a dirty word in writers rooms recently. I fully believe the only consideration they gave the canon was to look for opportunities to insert their desired representation and messages.
My current checklist of predicted tropes is
-stereotypical lispy homosexual
-strong warrior woman that publically humiliates at least one man in a contest of strength
-female character denies her planned life to go be an adventurer or something instead
-multiple interracial relationships (I will actually be surprised if they have two human characters of the same race hook up)
-at least one interspecies couple to have drama about
-at least one completely unnecessary sex scene with nudity (because we mature now)
-the new characters do a better job trying to defeat Sauron than the Fellowship only to be betrayed (by a white guy of course) or
-the new characters set up a series of events that directly led to the formation of the Fellowship, retroactively making the new characters ultimately responsible for defeating Sauron.
I'm leaning hard on something retroactively making the new characters directly responsible for defeating Sauron, it's just so obvious for them to want to do.

So some kind of TROS style Endgame ripoff where the new white, brunette, British female lead finally defeats Sauron who proclaims: "I am all the Dark Lords!" by saying one of the following:
It was already done in the movies with "I am no man!" vs the Witch King even though it was meant to be more than just "not a man" since Merry was a Hobbit and not 'of Man[kind]' however such subtleties are lost on general audiences unfortunately. They didn't even explain why the sword Perrin used was special or include Tom Bombadil giving them the swords in the first place. Instead it was a set of random blades given to them by Aragon when they were at Weathertop.
