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?

      I’ve never seen a single Lord of the rings although read the books (made to at school). Also never seen Harry Potter which I file as the same kind of fantasy shite for kids.

        rhouses You don’t need to have read the books, as it would appear, most die hard fans aren’t into it.

        Depends if you are into fantasy epics I guess?

          Along_the_Wire Surely this doesn’t need its own thread?!

          Aye. Close her down, and do Hursty a favor.

            Thought this was another thread about Rhouses’ logging capacity.

              House of the Dragon is great so far. Will give rings of power a whirl when it’s done.

              Mad_Cyril Thought this was another thread about Rhouses’ clogging capacity.

              Fixed.

                I agree. Adults being into this shite can fucking do one.

                Although I did watch Harry Potter on a BA flight recently, because 1) There was fuck all left to watch that I hadn’t already seen and 2) Just to spite the fucking cunts who are cancelling JK Rowling for allegedly being ‘transphobic’.

                    Went to the cinema to see the first Lord of the rings and fell asleep within half an hour. It’s a load of old tripe the same as potter.
