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?
-he has experience in connections in the film industry, and is generally liked by Hollywood
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.
