Do lotr fans even want this slop?
>*sigh* Somehow, Gollum has escaped >fade to black, cue Enya >
>>220010061
>>220010061Not me. No. I’d rather then go full retard and adapt the shadow of war games or something
>>220010061can't be worse than the lame movies with all those sissy actors. lotr is basically just game of thrones for little girls
If I hear fellow lorefags coming back saying that it's checks out and it's very loyal, and it seems like the characters and extras are accurately cast, I will buy tickets and go see it without any concern for how badly padded or unnecessary it seems Seems like a long shot lmao... But it's interesting to consider that this stuff would have been a default expectation had it been produced 20 years ago
>>220010061Not particularly.
>>220010061like 80% of films these days, its gonna flop. The boomers are just out of touch and have no clue.
Not excited about this movie, but I am very excited about the sequel being written by Stephen Colbert!
>>220010245loyal to WHAT
The Hunt for Gollum? Now that IS interesting – I wonder if they'll catch him! Oh wait...
>>220010061It's not made for lotr fansNeither was the Amazon slopNeither was the animated slopThe Hobbit was meant to be for the fans but it was doomed slop from the start. Del Taco's vision had a chance to be good but we will never know
>>220010061It's just a vanity project for Andy Serkis, nobody wants this besides him.
>>220010061>we need some character to make a lotr sidestory about>Melkor x Sauron backstory? Nah>Elven kings under the sky? Dwarf lords in the halls of stone? Mortal men doomed to die?>fuck that, do a gollum movie
>>220010061NO. Not Tolkien = not LOTR. There's one book left to tap, but they'd rather make up shit set to their own social, racial, and political tones. They don't respect the source material, and just see it as something they can use for their own bullshit.
>>220010061I am not watching this shit. Not even for free.
>>220011383just like my brian herbert slop
>>220010590the hunt for gollum as described by gandalf at the council of elrond.
>>220011383The first part would unironically make successful broadway musical.
