This stuff is funny, no one had any hope for it so they may very well go overboard with drag queen dwarves and ugly elven women that look like dudes protesting the mistreatment of Orcs. If they make an OLM riot I'll actually watch it.

My mother, to this day, thinks Elrond is an asshole because he was "ugly" in the movie. She thinks he looked shifty as fuck.

So yeah, I wonder what she will think of some unholy abomination they found at the bottom of the barrel in Hollywood.

Elrond is an asshole because he was "ugly"

I mean sure he was dirty when confronting Isildur in Mount Doom but then again that's just after a Final Battle of an Age and they were both literally INSIDE A VOLCANO!.

Elrond in Fellowship times is clearly just fucking done with everything else since he's lived that long and seen repeatedly cases of others fucking up over and over again when he tried to;

  1. Stop the apocalypse

  2. See point 1 because why the fuck is anything else ever going to be as important as STOPPING THE APOCALYPSE?!

Funny enough, it was supposed to be Bowie playing Elrond. Allegedly confirmed.

Then again, Elrond is a half-elf, half human. A lot of people forget that. Plus Peter Jackson's PaRtNeR Fran Walsh had no damn business writing that abomination of an adaptation. The 1981 BBC Radio adaptation is more accurate. Hell, they straight up ripped it off at some points. The guy who did that adaptation is still alive, actually.

"Yes."

There is no way WOT can be made faithfully simple due to the volume of content in the books that takes place over 3 years of time. Nobody will be able to make 14 books worth of content in 3 years to stave off the very visible aging that will happen regardless of starting with adults to avoid child actors suddenly springing up half way through a show ala Cirroc Lofton in DS9 or Bran in GoT.

While there is content that can be cut, we all know the wokesters will want to add in their own irrelevant shit which just bloats the content even more so it's a shitshow before even day 1 of shooting.

Plus I feel like any representation of how Weaves are meant to look will be half-assed CGI that makes Cal-Arts look appealing.

There've been some teasers released. You're 100% on them changing and adding stuff, then claiming there's "no time to fit everything in".

Why not cut out the racism and faggotry subplots and make the time, then, assholes? (I'm making an educated prediction that there will be these subplots).

And no one allowed to post this list or the quotes on the big WOT sites: post deleted, thread locked, instant ban.

No one allowed to quote from the author of the series...

So glad those books are actually finished so any adaptations can just be ignored. Even the Billy Zane retainment flick was shit although that's not surprising since it was literally the prologue to the first book with Billy Zane as Ishamael and whoever as Lews Therin Telamon as The Dragon wandered around the bodies of his kin. I don't expect the "actual" show to be any better. Nor will I afford it the bandwidth on the high sees.
