She argued, “Tolkien is for everyone. His stories are about his fictional races doing their best work when they leave the isolation of their own cultures and come together.”

They go on to try and deride the fans by citing a so-called Tolkien scholar named Mariana Rios Maldonado. Maldonado is not a Tolkien scholar, but is rather a PhD student at the University of Glasgow who “is interested in ethics, feminist theory, and encountering the Other in Tolkien’s works.

Maldonado also happens to be “the Equality and Diversity Officer for the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic.”

“Can we come up with the novel Tolkien never wrote and do it as the mega-event series that could only happen now?”

So they hired a "scholar" that is actually a full blown far left racist that cares little to nothing about Tolkien.

They also have the audacity to think they can write a better story then Tolkien. What fucked up overinflated egos do this people have?

LOL. His stories are about when the noble races work together to resist the baser races who while not necessarily evil are more prone to falling under the influence of evil.

I'm too depressed to read it, did amazon hire this subversive scum to work on the series or do you mean the journalists got her?

Amazon knew they had no interest in respecting source material or telling a good story. Look at WOT. They hired a show runner who craps all over the source material

I've never played World of Tanks, but they've ruined it?

That would actually be really funny and I might watch it.

The orcish horde is descending on whatever stronghold to besiege it but they are unable to penetrate the front gate.

"The gate is holding!" Xir cries "We will not..."

Just then, another cry goes out.

The party quickly goes from triumphant revelry to anguished gasps as the camera tracks across the horde to reveal a group of tall, conventionally attractive wHITE men looming over the din.

"They've released the trolls!"

Why bother adapting? I’m so sick of the “we should reflect the world how it is” nonsense

love how they made the queen of the dwarves a fat black chick. what are dwarves but an entire race of low IQ, obese brutes, obtusely aggressive, dark cave dwellers who are obsessed with money? this isn't me projecting here... this is what amazon's producers are saying black people are.

next up, amazon has goblins and dragons played exclusively by jewish actors.

Are the Trolls going to be cast as black Wakandans too or is that role ok for whites because Trolls are an evil race?

The world does not look like she thinks it does. UK does not look like London and not every place in US looks like NY.
