99% of people think the like/dislike button isn't worth the effort of pushing. Originally Posted by Ihavewaffles

That video is absolute cringeworthy trash. No wonder they unlisted it. Originally Posted by Ihavewaffles

Dear god... what a disaster that video is. Every time something new comes out, people tell us not to start panicking about the series, then the next thing comes and it's just worse. Originally Posted by DarkAmbient

Anyone else getting strong Ali G vibes from the moderator, by the way?
Here's a link to the goodreads page of Joel Rochester, the guy pictured in the thumbnail. He doesn't have any Tolkien books listed as read. He added the Silmarillion to his list but it's not read (and he's been regularly adding other books and marking them read). Jesus christ... it seems they stopped reading his bio at "bisexual black fantasy fan" and didn't check whether he is even a fan of LOTR. Dude also gave 5 star rankings to about 70% of the books he has read, and seems a huge fan of Percy Jackson...

I can't find anything on the black girl, I think she's a tiktok person, and the other one is a "demisexual" who has 215k subscribers on youtube for fantasy related stuff, a few references to Harry Potter, but again no LOTR.Last edited by Coniferous; 2022-02-20 at 08:10 PM.

Yes, when someone is squatting over your mouth and pushing, you totally believe them when they say "What's the matter, you don't if it's going to be shit IT HASN'T EVEN COME OUT YET!". Originally Posted by Ivanstone

wow even as a bi/pan guy I feel embarrassed xD Originally Posted by Ihavewaffles

"Everything she can do is because Luke accomplished the same."
That isn't entirely true because she picked up everything in an incredibly small amount of time but in the original 3 movies it was an assumed amount of time between the movies. One Deathstar was blown up... and they had to make a new one which takes a sizeable stretch of time. Rey went to hang out with Luke and within a very small time frame "Well, I've learned everything..."

Geebus, everyone still keeps spamming that supposed Tolkien quote in the comments. Originally Posted by Orby

I agree that what they did with Finn was an incredible waste of potential. For once a character that was both novel and had protagonist development potential and instead of dealing him justice, by Ep 8 he had turned into the replacement for C3PO... Originally Posted by Syegfryed

Some of us are telling you stop carrying needless expectations that cause yourself to panic. Originally Posted by Coniferous

Hobbit Trilogy is forever gonna be a thing, and we can choose to forever disregard Dwarf/Elf romances having ever existed. If people are upset over Black Elves or Beardless female Dwarves, this shit ain't canon anyways. Never will be.Last edited by Triceron; 2022-02-20 at 08:42 PM.

You know the like/dislike function is for the actual teaser video and not for the series itself? Originally Posted by Ivanstone

I mean it could defy the odds and be good... I don't believe it will be but watching a trainwreck is entertaining in itself.

Maybe, but that didn't save WoT. It was too bad even to watch ironically. Originally Posted by LTN

Hint: Luke wasn't the main character of this sequel trilogy. Originally Posted by Shadowferal
I mean, Kylo is supposed to be in his mid-20s? Assuming maybe Han and Leia had a few years of a relationship before having a kid, can we assume that at least 25 years have passed?
Are Star Wars fans so pedantic that everything of that 25 years has to be spelled out in some media format somewhere? The growing unease of Luke as he trains Kylo, the seduction of Kylo by Snoke, Luke retreating to the island and his inner struggles about whether he should continue the Jedi order, and so on, and so forth? Maybe you want a movie of him reading all the books in the tree temple to the audience?
The whole point of TLJ was that the two stories from Kylo and Luke differed. What mattered was how each character saw that moment. For Kylo it was a betrayal by a parental figure that he could never forgive. For Luke, it was a "moment of doubt and pain" (put it in quotes so y'all can draw the easy parallels to Jesus' moment of doubt in the garden of Gethsemane) that he instantly regretted, and that sent his life careening into chaos.
I thought it was brilliantly executed. But Star Wars fans are like, the most reductive assholes on the internet who A) cling to character archetypes of characters from 40 years ago, not accepting change, and B) only accept change if it's spelled out explicitly in 2 decades worth of now-defunct EU books.
I mean for Christ's sake, look at The Mandalorian vs. the reaction to Boba Fett. Star Wars fans love Mandalorian because it's exactly their image of what a Mandalore bounty hunter would be, as established in....well, let's face it, side material, since the original Boba Fett had absolutely no backstory. Smash forward to the Book of Boba Fett, and from what I can gather, people think it's worse because......Boba tries to do something else, like be a leader?Last edited by eschatological; 2022-02-21 at 03:09 AM.
