The irony here is that Amazon has taken Tolkien’s work and corrupted it exactly the same way that Melkor attempted to corrupt Eric Illuvatar’s creation.

the only way they could have saved the show was to bring Peter Jackson in and make him the only one to call all the shots about this series, but no, "lets just make all directors women, that should solve the issue!". when will they learn its not about gender or race, its about talent and staying true to the fandom & lore.

I have recently re-read The Silmarillion for the twentieth time since reading it first in 2007. When reading certain passages I close my eyes and try to visualize the scenes (e.g. Tulkas joining the Valar in their battle against Melkor). So, I don't need garbage like The Rings of Power to exist.

It’s less about talent and more about yes-men in Hollywood.

I think many people will notice the strike of the guild. Because, for now, directors and producers and some actors can't blame the writers anymore for making bad and worse and worst movies. It's usually not the writers writing bad things, it's usually the crews and marketers messing things up that were written good at first. I'm a screenwriter myself, and I really could tell you about meetings with the crews that would blow even your mind. You remember the first american Godzilla movie? It was meant to be a real good vintage gojira movie (If I'm not wrong, you still can find the first draft online - it was classic gojira). But the director rejected it completely, and then the marketers got involved... don't blame the writers for the mayhem the production teams is causing.

Rangz of Poower is such a dumpster fire. Nothing can fix it because it does not have the right people with balls behind it or even involved in it. One thing I absolutely abhor from contemporary writers is their obsession of self inserting their view of the world into their products. They see the world as a diverse place on skin color, race, and sexual orientation alone. Unfortunately, when I indulge in fiction, the last thing I want to see is the world I am trying to be away from.

If things had gone differently with the production, I would have been part of the target audience for this show. I would have signed up for Amazon Prime just to watch it, and I would have obsessed over every episode even more than I did with Game of Thrones when it was at its height. Instead, I haven't watched a single minute of Rings of Power, not even to 'hate watch', and I never will.

I'm not trying to "toot my own horn", as it were, but I've been working a military science fiction piece for the last 17 years. That's roughly the same as Tolkien and nowhere near done, namely out of personal apprehension. I'm not bragging, mind you. After all of this work. I've only grown to appreciate Tolkien more. He was obviously more efficient in his work, and more consistent. But this has been a long, long time. When I started, I was in sixth grade in 2006. I maintained it. I fell in love with it, and expanded it dramatically. I'm now 28 and I'm still passionately working on it. I cannot fathom someone taking my work and utterly reworking to suit their personal beliefs. I would be horrified. I would be disgusted. It's my work. I built this. And I built this for my readers. I built this to be enjoyed. I want people to plow into it and have fan theories and favorite characters and so on. This has been my life's work. And now I'm terrified to publish it because of how society handles it. This series is a travesty. If Tolkien were alive, he would have lost his mind. It's such a disgusting mess of nonsense. I would be livid. I've worked so hard to build what I've built, and in the same amount of time, roughly, and I'm still not done. I cannot fathom someone warping my work to fit their stupid fucking narrative. I would come back from the grave and ruin your life for sport. So pathetic. Write your own shit. Let that be trash. Don't tack our names onto your bullshit. If my book fails, it fails. It'll be my fault. But don't ruin a beautiful literary work because you're too fucking lazy to produce your own shit.

If modern entertainment has taught me anything…it’s that it can always get worse.

The audio clip of Elrond at the end never gets old 🤣

7) If you ask me, the horse is the lucky one. 6) Doesn't matter if he wins or loses; just the fact that this lawsuit exists is pure gold. 5) Insurance fraud? Not trusting Amazon on this... 4) This is just aggravating on so many levels. Amongst other things it's hypocritical, given how much emphasis they put on the one tree being felled in season 1. 3) Frankly, after season 1 I doubt this show can be turned around anyway. If anything, this would be an interesting experiment for hate-watchers. 2) Well, at least that'll speed up her inevitable downfall. 1) All-female directing team = new shield for Amazon to hide behind. This is gonna be Webber's go-to excuse throughout season 2's run.

Destroying a forest is exactly what the servants of Sauron would do.

Amazon truly missed the mark with Rings Of Power. Whether you enjoyed this season or not it does not compare whatsoever to the Peter Jackson trilogy. And my GOD, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT MUST BE INCREDBILY DIFFICULT TO CREATE AN ADAPTATION OF LOTR nowadays that doesn't resemble the trilogy in the slightest, but for some reason it frightened amazon so much they decided to go with a look that is not only unrecognizable if you were to put it beside peter jacksons, but it genuinely doesn't look like it'd be even close to the works of Tolkien. I'm not an expert in Tolkien's work nor do I ever want to be, but to look at Amazon's budget, and witness so much go to waste it makes you think just how unironic a mega corporation like amazon is trying to profit through the works of a guy who devoted his life to storytelling and worldbuilding along with being a professor in english which amplfied his overall finesse in writing. The world needs good storytelling, not shitty rushed projects with no complexities that are riddled with greed.

It is mind boggling. Honestly there has to be some writers out there somewhere that are really great. And Amazon technically has enough money to really search to find those gems. But instead they literally hire people who have essentially never done a serious story. I think I know why they do that though-and my thought is it’s because they don’t actually search the whole world for the very best-that instead they hire only people in their inner circle. Their buddies. Their acquaintances. If Amazon or any other major studio actually searched high and low for the most talented writers, etc. then they would find it.

@@narnia1233 I think Bezos got conned and the rest played out after that. Whatever you think of the guy and Amazon as a company, the fact is he's a very shrewd businessman who recognises the need to bring in the right people to run different parts of the business because he can't and shouldn't try to micromanage everything. He's clearly found good people to run the logistics and the cloud computing but I think the film and TV stuff is too far outside his core understanding which made him vulnerable to getting played by some smooth talking con artist who's never going to create anything good but says the right stuff. Once you get someone like that in charge they'll appoint other talentless people into senior positions who are either similar to themselves, or easy to control. This stuff happens all the time in companies where the boss or the management team get fooled by somebody who seems amazing at first and knows exactly what to say to win them over but is a complete failure in practice.

As for post, I'd imagine there's a lot since this season isn't expected to be ready until next year. Though I wonder if Amazon is speeding things up to try to get the show out earlier. It had always been reported as being out in 2024, but one of Amazon's bigwigs, Vernon Sanders, has said he'd like it out a year after s1. Rushing things sure won't help the (lack of) quality!

In a rare moment of wisdom as a young[er] adult/teenager, I would occasionally flirt with the idea of just stopping all mainstream Hollywood productions for half to up to a full decade to let them recharge and come back to any semblance of glory. Similar with the music industry, but to stay on topic, yeah they are clearly tired, uninspired, basically the feeling when you've, to be crass, nutted 4 times and have nothing left, but still gotta crank out another and another beyond reason. They need to just... Stop. But these celebs, producers, executives etc. have gotten too used to the idea of ever widening profit and influence they hold over the evermore fed up masses. Their time is up. They need to go into stasis, if not just wither away. They need us. We no longer, if ever we did, need them.

Anyway the real story: She downloaded a mod which would apparently put Bilbo's house somewhere in the game world, but as far as I know she didn't find it, at least at the time.

From what I've gathered, the 19 days of filming does not count any needed reshoots. And they needed tons of reshoots last season, so.... lol.

I managed to finish the first season, thinking, "It couldn't possibly get worse," but was surprised with each episode. And then I wrote a one-star review describing the problems with the show, from atrocious illogical screenplay to rubber armor that looks out of place even in a school production. And what Amazon did? It deleted it, marking "inappropriate," which it definitely was not. Now I wonder how many reviews got silenced.

Amazon just said they are now going to make a LOTR MMO.....original it was a Chinese company that had teamed up with them but the game got cancelled. I do not want to even think about the abomination amazon will make. I hope they lose all their money

The so-called "billion dollars" is for the entire series and includes most of the infrastructure costs which would be used on other Amazon videos and film movies. So it isn't a true billion dollar cost as a lot of the expense is recouped through use of the land, buildings, facility services, studio set structures, computers, computer networks, software, and recycled set props on other shows.

That "official statement" about what happened to the horse sounds like a lot of over the top ass-covering. I suspect that there was no veterinarian, that the horse was overworked or made to over exert itself in hot weather, and that the Humane Society rep was nowhere to be found or actually paid to stay out of the production's way. This totally sounds like they're just saying "all the right things", and the horse likely died from being overworked.
