    More ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Movies In Works As Warner Bros & New Line Strike Rights Deal

    I'm sure folks will recall that New Line released Peter Jackson's trilogy.
    time to get rip roaring drunk. Only way I can be happy about this news in 2023.

    good for those excited about this, but after Rings of Power (which I did not HATE by the way, make that clear, I thought it was just 'okay) I do not have faith in more movies from this franchise being done today' I don't care if its the same studio behind the original. That was 20+ years ago. Which in hindsight is depressing to know.

    I may be just boomer yelling at clouds right now, but movies, more so big blockbuster movies today, (there are still a lot of good movies out there) are all horrible. Especially ones that cater to the braindead MCU crowd. I can only see this franchise being inserted with in jokes, modern day comparisons, one liners and quips, and dead ass dull lead characters disguised as interesting characters.

    100 people and horses isn't that crazy for a ship to carry. A 17th century Ship of the Line could carry 1,200 crew and cargo. This is just yet again the ever shifting goal posts to whine about the show.

    Yeah m8, but that was not a 17th century ship, it was a tiny ass ship, it can't carry that.

    Isn't it strange how you often post just to attack me yet continually say I'm the problem here. Lmao.

    What are the dimensions? Surely if you know there ships can't carry stuff you would know that? Or is this another case of "I hate the show so I'm right"? It is entirely possible that they picked up horses in Pelargir as well as transports for them. The horses brought from Numenor could have just been for officers and other "important" crew.

    They were by no means "tiny" ships. What would you describe the rowboats shown on the show if way larger ships are "tiny". Lol.

    Pure projection on your part. How in-depth of a look at ships do you want from a show? We saw a portion of their ships in the harbor of their capital city. What more needs to be shown for a show to depict "naval power"? How long do you want the show to spend inspecting each ship and their total force projection?

    You clearly do since you responded and are avoiding answering the question. Lmao.

    No i am prefectly capable to ignore him without putting him on ignore. I love to chip in the arguments, though.

    I'd recommend watching it, unless you already have. Or anyone for that matter.

    It wouldn't be a very cohesive show if the main characters, Elrond, Gil-Galad, and Elrond won't even appear in some seasons. You are looking for a snapshot of events while Amazon wanted to follow a set of characters. If you are already compressing the time line to make a story work then there is no reason not to go all the way, like Amazon, and compress it to get, and build up, a set of main characters.
