how is this show still getting new seasons???? Who watches this shit?
>>
>>219202230
Money laundering?
Political tool to sow division?
Ego project?
Blackmail and bribery?
Mean blowjob?
There are too many plausible explanations.
>>
>>219202230
That doesn't matter
They're just using the Prime cash cow to pay for a load of entitled media graduates to live comfortably off expenses

Every second of this show requires a hundred people to fly out to 5 different locations, take photos, get dinner, stay in hotels, have meetings about it, get lunch, go back to site, setup a media village, catering vans, trailers, food and drink, waste money on various costumes and props, have more meetings with lunch provided, fly back out for reshoots, and so on


It's all a grift

Who else is going to pick your cherry tomatoes?

>>219202008
>le orcs can become companions too
They confused the original material with the post modern revision of D&D and Warcraft where orcs were just tribal warriors allegory for native americans who are actually le hekking wholesome and honorable
>>
>>219202230
Amazon paid too much of the rights, so they need to pump it out to justify it. They can also say it's more content for the platform and point on additonal revenue when they finally other platforms to show it.
Man In the High Castle, for example, is in Netflix at the moment.
>>
>>219202375
Remember when orcs were just enemy creatures and everyone understood that? It's like trying to play as a dragon, that's cool I guess but game breaking. Making the unholy murder rape monster actually just like you and me kinda ruins the vibes
>>
>>219202230
Because amazon payed 1 BILLION for rights, sets, costumes, etc.
With those upfront costs they have to make like 10 seasons.
>>
>>219202674
Orcs rule dude. If you don’t want to play as a hyper masculine, super strong barbarian, or you don’t see the appeal of that in some way, then you might be gay. Let me guess, your problem is they’re not pretty enough? Orcs are the based race, like it or not.
>>
>>219202008
It's not going to be a fun Orc companion like Ratbag. Shadow of Mordor/War orcs can be fun characters, but they're still power hungry, back stabbing, evil creatures. They're just going to make this version and say "well, Orcs are actually just like humans except they look different. Don't you feel bad for judging them?"

People act like orcs are just evil cannon fodder but Tolkien himself kept going back and forth on it. Later writings (see his letters + Morgoth’s Ring) show that he was not happy with the idea of a sentient race being irredeemably evil by design. So what are orcs? Twisted elves? Men? Either way, that implies a fallen origin, not an inherently damned one. Now take Galadriel: literally one of the wisest beings in Middle Earth. You think someone like that wouldn’t at least recognize the difference between inherent evil and corruption? And if an orc showed even a crack of independence or rejection of Sauron, she would be one of the few capable of seeing that nuance. Would she trust one? Probably not easily. Would she USE one as an ally if it served a higher purpose, especially against Sauron? That’s way more plausible than people want to admit.

Onlu Nazis and zombies are remaining unreedeemable evil enemies in games and soon only nazis remain because only leftists make games
>>
>>219202230
they spent billion to get the IP, they will run it into the ground until they cant anymore

The orcs are immigrants and the blonde white lady falls in love with one as an allegory to accept mass immigration and the multi racial society? Imagine me shock.

They rented this property for five seasons and by golly, they aren't gonna stop before they made their five seasons.
>>
>>219202008
>Galadriel will probably fuck with an orc
Im sure they won't do this...
>>
>>219202230
because they have a deal to make five seasons, so they're making five seasons.
>>
>>219202230
It's less about people watching it and more about these companies NEEDING to put slop on their streaming services to justify the billions of dollars they've spent on them.
They don't really care about the quality of these shows; they're banking on the "star power" of the IPs themselves.
>>
>>219202230
they announced the 5 season thing and their whole grand project is about forcing cultural supremacy. to back out would make them look weak, even though the show is a failure. they'll burn billions to own the chuds because jews know it's all monopoly money anyways.

Bro explain to me how what I said is off the mark. If anything them using an Orc in this regard is rings playing catch up to the last 40 years of fantasy storytelling. I call this argument poppycock.

Soulless animals with allegiance to evil was one of the Tolkien's origins for the Orcs written in 1959.

This could be fine because if you remember, these are both orcs in RoP.
There are OG orcs who are just corrupted elves, and there are unga bunga orcs that are manufactured cannon fodder

in LOTR you can go from good to evil but not the other way.
and yes you have kinda grey characters like boromir or gollum but they are exceptions.

I understand that aspect but why are they not attempting to put forward quality writing/actors? I read >>219202348 and my thought is that it's such a shit show trying to actually produce they don't care. Like how modern housing in the USA is essentially cardboard and twigs that will have problems in 5 years max.

Again you're making assumptions about the nature of this alliance. Maybe he's a hostage? Maybe he's being compelled by magic? Maybe he's using them to kill some rival to his master. This is not some grand unexplored territory guys. Use your imagination.

>>219202674
Remember when people could still understand metaphor and understood orcs represent men twisted by war to the acts of total barbarism Tolkien witnessed by actually fighting in a world war? Or when Peter Jackson spelled it out for the people who were still too stupid to get it?
Now those people who still didn't get it even then are the screenwriters.

>>219202230
This is where the fantasy crowd is at since ~2010 or so.
Dnd has taken several steps to rehabilitate “evil” races and add tons of queer identities to make the game more inclusive.
The entire concept of having evil races like Orks or Dark Elves goes against progressive bioleninist doctrine.
>>
>>219208738
you're right, some communities have heavy moderation banning some points of view, and others do not.
>>
>>219206397
People who come up with clever, bullshit justifications for obvious political propaganda are the absolute worst
