>>220787886Not watching this fanfiction bullshit.
>main character>sam's daughter?????????
>>220787886I'm bettin $300 he's going to start talking about ' Taking LOTR back from the far right' or some shit like that
>>220789077sam fucks, he has like 20 kids.
>>220789077Sam's daughter is literally in the epilogue of RotK
>>220789111Yep better start getting butthurt in advance just in case sisters
>>220789177and?
>>220789209What is your question then?
>>220789248why is she the main character of a brand new LOTR epic?
>>220789267Shut up, chud!
>>220789198Ive already doweled my ass with a pringles can
>>220789267She is an existing character within the story who is in the "next generation" of the characters of the story. It doesn't seem like a crazy choice unless you're the kind of person who's going to have a melty about a female main character in any case.
>>220789077She’s the author of the entire series in canon. She collects all the letters and journals, apparently did some Indiana jones shit discovering things and brought it together. There’s stuff in lotr that Frodo and bilbo wouldn’t know meaning she found it out. It’s long established canon
>>220787886There is no way this is making it to production, and even if it does, it will take years. It will be trash and they'll have to pay for announcing it so early before it was even written, always a massive mistake. It will be both rushed and undercooked. Hype will die way too soon and they'll have to do damage control when it doesn't come out on time, on budget, or as expected.
>>220789441it's a political choice for a protagonist and very uninspired
>>220789441>Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.Yawn, can't wait for the subversion there. Frodo and the gang didn't even matter anyways! Some old biddy actually saved the day suck on that
>making a sequel just to add all the content Jackson cut from the filmWho's gonna be Bombadil? RuPaul?
>>220789577>>220789616>this movie, which likely isn't even finished being written yet, is already politically oppressing me! vgh . . .
>>220789552>she's the author of the entire series in canon>she collects all the letters and journals>apparently did some Indiana Jones shit>It's long established canonI think this is going very far. The book was handed down to her and her descendants, but calling her the author? And saying she personally did all of this? She wasn't the only custodian of the red book and she didn't live forever.
>>220789077Grrlboss slop. Next
>>220787886>the passing of FrodoThe passing? What do they mean by "the passing"? He went to the Undying Lands.
>>220787886>sauron is blompfme and my polycule are going to watch this with a nice hoppy ipa and blog about it on bluesky
>>220787886He was memed as some hardcore Tolkien fan, then he does this, lol.Yes, Tolkien would have loved the idea of an American celebrity writing a sequel, which is a project he himself quickly gave up on.
>>220790534They are talking about him "passing" into Valinor there but he also did die later.
>>220789866Hey don't gaslight people who think this way. It's been legit 10 years of the exact stuff he's referring to. It's always "It's not even out yet!", and then "It's not even a big deal!", and then "you're so sensitive!", and then "actually It's a good thing!"
>>220791013I don't actually care what you think I just think you guys becoming the types who will whine and make yourselves the victims about everything is really funny
>>220791026Did you know that being victimized makes you the victim? Shocking, I know.
>>220791043>"mom pick me up they're making tolkein spinoffs with female protagonists again!"
>>220791095That's right. Eat that slop.
>>220789441>le “next generation”>meltyhow about fucking kill your self trannynobody should touch Tolkiens legacy by writing their own horseshit set within his works
>>220791026OK but at what point do you specifically think it's cool or "right" to notice or complain? Cause movies bombing isn't really incentive to not make that sort of movie anymore.
>>220791013Yea just forget the million times when the shit you're crying about didn't come true and fixate on nooticing the exceptions. Hollywood movies are still predominantly about white straight people lol, and they're the ones who win Oscars too if you discount the one token black win every now and then.That said, this whole project is mega-gay.
>>220791157>HECKIN LEGACYgrow upjust don't watch if it upsets you so much, focus on your real problems, I'm sure you have plenty
>>220787886just give him his money losing show back
>>220787886I hope it's not woke slop, but I'm not holding my breath.
>>220791178Actually movie award winners, per capita, are more prominently black. I think it's something like 15% are black, which fits with the black population. What you should be complaining about are Asians if anything. But Asians, usually an Asian woman, are the new token, usually in black movies.
>>220790907Holy fucking seethe. Tolkien acting like one of those aggrieved Japs on twitter crying over reclining seats.
>>220791388If YOU need to recline, get an upgraded seat. I am 6'6" and am comfortable on 10 hour flights as I simply get up and stretch every hour.
>>220791388He was just an old boomer hearing some retarded American bullshit (the American was probably shouting) and knew it was his entitled boomer duty to intervene.
>>220789575>There is no way this is making it to productionTrue. It's such an obvious culture war stunt, creative middle finger. Totally unserious stuff.
How would Sam, Merry, and Pippin know of Frodo's passing? He can't return from Valinor. Also, Sam eventually goes to Valinor to reunite with Frodo. This shit makes no sense and literally goes against Tolkien's story.
Shan't be watching or thinking about.
>>220791592This. OP will continue making threads about it every day though
>>220789616It turns out the ring Frodo carried was a decoy and the actual ring was given to Arwyn who eventually destroyed it with the power of Feminism that was in her all along.
>>220787886Why in the living fuck out of all people was this douche fag chosen to write for a Lord of the Rings show?Is Hollywood that low on people still loyal to them?
