Im not gonna watch a fanfiction of Sam's daughter discovering the evilness of everything which was good and that she is the key to saving the future while she girlbosses around Middle Earth with a bunch of blelves
Boss lady literally cheats to win a race, is caught, and has their family team banned for a year. She never apologizes, she never indicates regretting, SHE goes about as if she was the one who was wronged in all this and is now girl bossing it to prove the association wrong... The absolute levels of delusion... just because you cheated doesn't mean you were wrong, they're wrong for not letting you cheat and support your cheating!
Arguments indicating that Stephen Colbert will fuck it up:
-he's Stephen Colbert
-he's a massive woke stooge
-he is a figurehead of american """liberalism"""
Arguments indicating Stephen Colbert might actually do a good job:
-he has experience in connections in the film industry, and is generally liked by Hollywood
-Colbert is a massive Tolkien fan, often going out of his way to flex is knowledge on the extended middle-earth lore
-Colbert has made sure to mention Tolkien's name multiple times when discussing Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit on his shows.
the big question will be: is Stephen Colbert enough of a Tolkien fan to stay true to the established lore and stories, or will he burn all of his Tolkien fan cred to make something woke lame and gay?

That's not a good thing at all. It means he's one of them.
Colbert is most definitely one of those "huge fans" of Tolkien. And as a "huge fan," he believes it is necessary to "criticize the things you love." And in that, he is going to say that Tolkien "was a straight white Christian man of his time" and that he wrote and believed in things that "wouldn't fit well with modern audiences today." And so he's going to address those things that are "problematic." Fix them if you will. Make his story and his world better, inclusive, and more "reflective of the world as it really is."
He will "try" to remain faithful, but at some point he'll "decide" that going full-woke is "What JRR would have done" and also it's "good for the fandom" to "have their eyes opened" & other 🤢
It might even make money, but critics will rate it 95 and fans 75 :/
There's a video of him with a boy that's very disturbing. It's just a short clip from something bigger. It's been floating around for a while. The point is, he will do what he's told.
Sauron is destroyed, so I will bet my life savings that this will be yet another hamfisted "(white) men are the real monsters" allegory. If you have seen one movie from these hacks over the last decade, you have seen them all.
There was that one, overly long hug... I joke! They both thought the other was dead, or one almost died iirc? Anyhow people pointed it out at the time and I was like: "So? Men cannot hug now? WTF?"
He's a big Tolkien fan, and so he is the perfect sleeper agent to fuck it up. Anything that violates canon will be hand waived away by normies citing his credentials as a nerd.
As far as media goes, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy should be considered the end of faithful adaptations. Maybe the Hobbit trilogy if you are feeling flexible. Anything after that at this point should be considered heresy.
I think he will fuck it up but in a subtle way which is worse. He's basically perfectly suited to subvert LOTR in a manner normies might not catch. So, the film might actually be highly successful and "good" but he'll slightly twist the message around to have an underlying woke message that only people like us will catch onto.
I think if Phillipa Boyens is engaged and really involved with developing it, then it may turn out alright. Especially if it really is unused narrative material as opposed to new, invented lore.

"Orcs are just misunderstood!"
"Hobbits stole the Orc homelands!" Or the Ents, or Elves did, but blaming elves for everything is so old. 😋
Pretty much.
Tried watching this new show but can't finish it.

Are you ready for an Orange Sauron man, who is bad?
Sauron is destroyed, so I will bet my life savings that this will be yet another hamfisted "(white) men are the real monsters" allegory. If you have seen one movie from these hacks over the last decade, you have seen them all.
its gonna be fan-fiction tier like the soy wars sequels
not gonna watch it, not gonna care
Lord of the rings will continue to exist within the books and the original Peter Jackson trilogy which is DEVOID of gay shit
its pitiful though, to see your once favorite franchise's corp being repeated raised from the dead and sodomized

Odds of subversive faggotry: 100%

The hobbit trilogy was everything wrong with the original LOTR movies on steroids.
True, but at least it wasn't woke.

Yep. He's a Tolkien superfan, collaborating with Peter Jackson, he has some talent, and he's not stupid.
It's probably going to be at least ok, which is terrible.

On the one hand, he was a huge LOTR nerd. But on the other hand, he's definitely an extreme leftist.
So, probably not gonna watch it.
