    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

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

    Why does this image look so generic to me? Can't quite put my finger on it.
    The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
    Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
    Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?

    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.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    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...
