Most of the team involved that they listed have pretty impressive resumes. Hopefully they make something great.
Maybe I'm just jaded from Star Wars, but I just don't trust anybody aside from Tolkien with LOTR at this point. But we'll see.
Hopefully it doesn't suck
Did you mean Jackson?
I meant Tolkein, but I do think Jackson did a really good job with his movies. Even though he changed things. I wouldnt mind Jackon adapting some of the deeper lore.
Im trying not to be so cynical about things like this. But its hard considering some other reboots/sequels as of late.
But I'll do my best to watch this first before bitching.
I'm not watching it. Idc lol I'm sick of getting mad over bad adaptations and big budget fan fiction shows. Instead of getting mad, I'm just not consuming anymore.
Wheel of Time is a 14 book series that I love and that Amazon wanted to be the next Game of Thrones but they turned it into a CW quality show. The pacing was terrible, the explanation of plot events was worse, and instead of setting up all the shit they should have and explaining things, they invented a fake mystery about who the main person was (spoiler alert it’s the person on the cover of book 1, it was never a mystery) and added some corny love plots, and just flat out got a bunch of shit wrong. Best thing I can say about the show is that it got my wife to start the audiobooks.
This makes everything make sense now. Why Amazon is taking so many liberties with their "Lord of the Rings" show... they dont actually have the rights to tell the story they are telling. They ONLY have the rights to The Hobbit, and the Trilogy. They dont have The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Children of Huron, etc. So they're making a show, based on The Second Age, without any of the rights to adapt any of the material actually written in The Second Age. So it literally isn't an adaptation at all, it's purely billion dollar fanfiction set in that time frame.
