Over/under on a lesbian hobbit/elf scene...or gay dwarf make out?

I'm not optimistic due to the way they trashed the WoT storyline. I absolutely DO NOT give a shit what race or gender they go with for a ****ing fantasy species. This isn't an anti-woke stance, it's a racist and homophobic rant.

No shit. Its a Fantasy. They can do anything they want. Its not depicting real life. Anyone taking their cultural cue's from an authors fantasy imagination needs to just stop.

You are the typical triggered sap they target...I'm not homophobic nor racist...but your simple-ass cant differentiate what I'm actually talking about.

It's the deliberate "bait-n-switch" that has you pointing your crooked finger at me...

Arguing with stupid people is pointless...they will remain stupid...and the longer you entertain a correspondence with them..the dumber you become...it's mental cancer.

Enjoy your woke fantasy show....hope it's satiates all your emotional social justice boxes....ones you didn't know even existed until 2 years ago.

I dont remember ever corresponding with you in the first place...this is what happens when I find someone forgettable.

Your statement works perfectly for me...whoever you are. I dont care...I care even less about some Woke amazon Hobbit series.

I leave with this..there BETTER be a gay Asian Hobbit in this series...or I'm going to protest SO loudly on the internet...for this flagrant act of under-representing this repressed demographic of society in the cinematic arts...it's an obvious overt act of racism and white supremacy....jack-asses.

There is some poetic irony at play...I read that if this tanks as bad as it appears it will...it has the potential to bury Amazon's studio division.

When the Bezos owned WoPo is giving it luke warn reviews...you know it must be really ****ing terrible.

Having watched the first two episodes, the diversity is unsurprisingly a complete non-issue.

I have concerns though. The pacing of this show so far is a problem so far (virtually nothing has happened through 2 episodes except for Galadrial making a choice and the appearance of "The Stranger" and the season is only running 8 episodes). Everything also seems quite impersonal. I'm finding it to be a bit of a struggle to care about any of these characters or what is going on at all and that's a major issue.

Now they're obviously building something here that is massive in scope in terms of world building so it's going to take time to develop characters and storylines (and it appears they are going to get that time with S2 on the way), but it's very difficult for me to see this ever being compared favorably to the LOTR movies (effectively masterpieces in their genre).

Because it was created with an ulterior motive from the beginning...you have to care about what you are creating for the audience to care about it. It has to convey authenticity..

There will be nice effects...it cost a billion dollars...you cant buy soul though.

If it isn't an issue for you going into it, I don't see how watching the show is going to change that.

For people like myself, the diversity itself isn't the issue, it's just one of many red flags that the showrunners are more concerned with shit like that than actually making a great show within, and loyal to, the Tolkien universe.

It's like you don't seem to understand how that goes hand in hand. For example, an all female cast for Ghosbusters itself wasn't the issue, it was just a warning sign that the movie was going to be a turd sandwich. It's not a coincidence that it turned out to be just that.
