Lord of the Rings TV Series Purchased by Amazon

And i don't say they should put the focus on it. Just that the existence of it in the tvshow, even if there is a respectfull sex scene, doesn't inherently make the show bad.

but why put a sex scene when there is none in his work? is literally the problem we are discussing, is an unnecessary thing to get GoT revenue, lot don't rely on those things, is literally pointless and if they re up to that, it may end inherently bad,

On a side note but in the same line: I am also for making it more bloody. Not spartacus bloody. And not blood for the sake of blood. Because for all its wars, LotR never had real impact, in regards to its soldiers, in its wars. There are two points were i felt sad in fights. Boromirs and Haldirs deaths. The rest were ragdoll deaths i did not care about. But i can live without it as the whole premise was more about heroism than the horrors of war and maybe be the wrong universe to adress it.

just like it don't need to rely sext scenes and it don't need to be bloody to be good, like we are saying it goes against the premise of tolkien to do something focused on the story, on the heroism and being "epic".

Same ay we don't cut the sex and the bloody scenes from GoT because those are fundamental parts of the stoty.

As said multiple times in this thread: It won't be. It will be a series spanning the second age and not what happened in the Peter Jackson films. OP should probably update his first post as it is from 2018 when that info wasn't revealed.

Oh, then perhaps... As long as they don't turn it into the softcore porn that was GOT for easy pandering to the lowest common denominator, I might give it a chance...

New characters and a fresh story so far back might be interesting, actually! Was afraid they'd just remake the movies in a tv show format.

Fuck amazon...the last thing I want to see in lotr is dwarven ass.

well Amazon is also making a LOTR MMORPG(Rumor has it)

No, this is a problem you have created and, seemingly, accepted it happening as a known fact.

putting something that does not exist in the books/are not portrayed just to pander the GoT fanbase is a problem, you liking or not.

[Syegfryed]

As I said, this is a problem you've created yourself and simply accepted that there will be sex scenes when all you have is a casting call that supposedly says "must be ok with nudity." You've jumped right to sex scenes in your mind and decided they're happening. This is a you issue.

yeah dude, i create myself, is not like saw this same shit before, and the hobbit was criticized exactly for those things.

Like we are saying here, we are discussing possibilities, if don't happen great.

Amazon Studios has hired Jennifer Ward-Lealand, a respected intimacy coordinator whose job it is to oversee sex and nudity scenes and ensure that everyone is comfortable during filming.

This combined with the fact that they're casting people who must be okay with nudity makes it seem pretty unambiguous.

Apparently those reports may not be really accurate. There's some misinformation regarding the whole thing. There's a good video/discussion here

So you're saying the internet overreacted to something that isn't even in production yet?

Color me shocked.

I'm going to look into that. Thanks.

Well, the guy's not an authority or anything, he's just pointing out that that GoT connection is basically nothing more than clickbait.

With the original context of Bezos's request/orders, it could just as easily apply to something like The Boys (which seems to have blown up recently...or maybe I just wasn't paying attention before now).

You have bad opinion and taste.

This is the most beta thing I’ve ever seen. Strap up and get to working on your self esteem, son.

"The yet-to-be-titled show (which nabbed an early Season 2 renewal) will premiere Friday, Sept. 2, 2022"

Pretty first look.

The sunlight compositing looks pretty bad. Also the image is really devoid of color and looks really grey. Where are the vivid colors? Elrond and Galadriel wore rings which preserved the color and beauty of their sanctuaries.

It seems that those are the Two Trees of Valinor. Image is still dull, though.

[Nerovar]

Why does this image look so generic to me? Can't quite put my finger on it.

[Shadowferal]

Pretty first look.

Hmf...

Just looks much less orange than the Rivendell shot from LOTR

Yeah. The Rivendell miniature and matte paintings from the LotR trilogy had soul.

[Kithelle]

Yeah. The Rivendell miniature and matte paintings from the LotR trilogy had soul.

To be honest I'm not expecting much soul from this show, from the way things sound it's gonna try and be more like a GoT copy than a soulful reproduction of Tolkien's work.

Well, LotR, after all these years, is a super generic fantasy setting.

Sadly I guess that is the answer, because the picture screams generic to me. Then again, it might not be that important in the overall, heh, picture...
