I think it will bomb. Remember, they aren’t adapting a written work, like Jackson did, which is challenge enough on its own.

Do you recall what happened to GoT once they ran out of book material and had to make it up on the fly?

There is very little talent in that industry, and this is Amazon who is running it. Making a good original story is a challenge even in the best of times, and everyone has high expectations for LOTR because they will be judging it by the films that came before.

Couple that with the requirement of having to push a woke agenda, and you have a recipe for disaster.
