I’m honestly really enjoying it, however I’m a huge LotR fan, so a lot of the little things like name-drops or seeing certain locations or referencing certain events go a long way for me, where as the average viewer probably wouldn’t care. The visuals are pretty amazing. Most of the casting is great. I’m liking where the story is heading. I see some people complain about it being “woke” but it seems like most of those people aren’t even watching the show. Pretty fucking solid so far, imho.

Haven't watched this yet. I've heard bad things from most people.

It is far from a bad show.

If you like LotR and the lore you will love it. The movies are better but being worse than the greatest trilogy ever made isn't a bad thing. It is a different story and I'm pretty pumped to see it play out.

The whole hate for it being woke is very exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

It's honestly fine. Some of the Harfoot stuff feels really uhhh... artificial or something? As if theyre trying too hard to sell their identity? I cant put my finger on it. Black elf doesnt bother me that much tbh. His character is interesting and he does a good job acting the role. Dont think the strong elf lady shit bothers me either. She's zealot levels of passionate has obvious character flaws. There's strong build up from one episode to the next. There are some pretty rough missteps that take you out of the immersion sometimes but the show tends to quickly recover.

I wouldnt call it great or awful but it's definitely watchable. Anyone saying otherwise is probably a retard.

Salute,

Whoever thinks/speaks opposite of what i am talking is 'retard' syndrome you are suffering from?

Idk what the fuck youre trying to say but if you vehemently hate this show or unquestioningly love this show - then yeah I'd say youre probably a retard. It doesnt do anything well/badly enough to justify hating/loving it.

I'm really disappointed is how they're butchering the lore.

Making up stuff that would never happen in tolkien's world.

Meanwhile amazon and mainstream media are calling those upset with these problems 'trolls and racist'

Amazon dropped the ball hard. It's a 6/10, forgettable.

e-typo

Chritopher tolkien said this about the LOTR trilogy movies which everybody pretty much loves as do I but he's not necessarily wrong tbh. Man I wonder what he would say about this latest debacle :rofl:
