Thought this was a follow on to the board power rankings thread

Proper load of old shite.

    Dan Bit harsh on Dave’s latest thread.

    Seriously though, there is a whole thread dedicated to the Marvel tripe on here, so there is form!

      A contender for worst thread of the year.

      Cap doffed.

        Hursty what the hell have you been watching? It’s possibly the worst thing I have ever seen. Unfathomably bad. I’ll guess you are not a fan of Tolken but that just like watching the show.

            Also House of Dragon is fantastic

            zackster Yeah as mentioned there seems to be a hardcore of Youtube geeks who are absolutely slamming it, I work with a guy who is constantly incensed by the series, its comedy.

            Taking it at face value, its right up there

              Its tripe. Christopher Tolken wouldn’t sell the rights to the Silmarilian and so Bezos found people who thought they could makeup their own version based on the epilogue to Return of The King. What an awful idea.

              And the shows pacing is for babies. There is never a moments silence. Right from the jump its just talking fighting singing dancing. The Mandalorian had more elevated scripting ffs.

                Hursty’s MBB. Happens to the best of us.

                  zackster Haven’t noticed the ‘poor pacing’ at all, I can see why you like House of Dragon, its so slow and boring…

                  As mentioned, I know the die hard Tolkien fans are spitting feathers, but so what?

                    It’s not Tolkien that’s for sure, I like the idea though and it’s easy pickings for Amazon as Tolkien didn’t write a lot about the Second Age. Some things about it irritate me, like sloppy, cliched dialogue and a couple of properly hammed up performances,, but it’s not as bad as I feared, or the Tolkien dickheads would have you think

                      erik Good to see Lenny Henry has finally got some decent work.

                        erik what bothers me about anything like this recently (I remember it starting with The Last Jedi) is how fucking bad the fans are in fantasy/ sci-fi/ etc. So fucking toxic cry babies.

                            Homegrove this 👆

                            Lots of forums wanking on about ‘how it’s an abomination and it’s not Tolkien’ and ‘Tolkien didn’t have black elves’ etc

                            Thing is, even though it’s wide of the mark, it’s still and ‘in’ to Middle Earth, it will make more people interested in the source material, so it’s not all bad

                            Just finished ep6, the best yet

                              yeah, those fucking nerds on the internet.

                              bunch of incels, right guys?

                              Do I need LOTR context, which I don’t have, to get into this show? Or does it work for a Tolkien noob?
