Please everyone do not watch this show. I’ll say it again, Amazon has the money to hire writers to make their own original fantasy universe. They could’ve had all the diversity they want. Now it probably wouldn’t have been popular but I respect an sjw who makes their own garbage over this. And the way they twist themselves in knots explaining how they aren’t destroying Tolkien is hilarious. I can remember articles attacking him for racism only a few years ago
I know everyone is saying don't watch the show, but I'll probably watch an episode or two at least, and here's why:
TheQuartering, Heelsvbabyface, Disparu, Geeks & Gamers, Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker and countless smaller right-wing pundits have been slamming The Rings of Power relentlessly for 6+ months. They release videos almost every other day talking about how terrible the show will be and they've been making a ton of bold claims along the way.
At this point I want to watch the show in order to evaluate whether these right-wing pundits are just grifters appealing to their right-wing audiences or whether everything they've been saying is measured and reasonable. This is a valuable opportunity to judge for myself how reasonable these pundits really are.
I usually trust those guys, but with so many people watching House of the Dragon I'm not sure anymore.
Dumb as the race-swapping/gay stuff is in Rings, there's something about black valayrains that really drives me up the wall. An inbred family that is obsessed with purity marries blacks? How much more stupid can you get?
