after watching this, i have more respect for jackson for being get the movies out with the limitations and the time crunch. he did the best he could with what he had. i know not everyone likes the jackson movies (hi sharp) but i can at least appreciate the hard work that went into making them.

at the very least, i can easily watch "the hobbit" over ROP any day of the week.

As much as I didn't like the Jackson movies, and still don't in general, that dislike is primarily for the writing and choices that were made regarding the changes - large and small - to Tolkien's story. I would never disparage the LotR trilogy for the amount of WORK that was put in, how everything LOOKED, the sets, the costumes, all of that kind of thing. Fabulous job on those.

As always, lots of people loved those movies, Jackson clearly did something right, I really liked Fellowship for all of its inaccuracies, etc.

It's not like they were...I don't know, some other LotR tie-in *coughs*Rings of Power*coughs* where they spent absolutely STUPID amounts of money and ended with something that just looked rather bad, frankly. And made Jackson's stuff - even the Hobbit movies - seem at least somewhat faithful to Tolkien's work.

at least jackson wanted to keep the story true or as true as he could get it to the books. ROP was................well, we all know.

with the hobbit, i always had the sense that jackson didn't really want to make it but things happened and he kinda felt like he had to make it. you can tell from the behind the scenes footage. jackson just looked drained and thinned, like too little butter over bread. i'm just amazed the movies came out looking like they did with so little time to work with.

Hey, my eyes close as god intended - never for 8 hours straight!

Unfortunately true

Yes, I can imagine that.

Well, do it then!

Actually you don't have to

Looking at Wikipedia:

the series follows the young activist rapper Robyn and her anti-authoritarian masked hip-hop band The Hood living in a working class area in the fictional city of New Nottingham as they battle with "the corrupt elite" including a property developer and The Sheriff.

......I feel like my body wants to cough up blood after barely trying to get passed the WTF-ery of reading that.

Ha! Straight out of Riverdale.

Speaking of Riverdale, what a show that is.

I am halfway tempted to see how bad things can get with RoP season 2 tbh.

The Cobras are SO lucky that the Miyagi-Do are pushovers.

Because by all rights Daniel should've gone and smashed them into the ground for this.

funny you mention riverdale.

the director, who calls himself "director X", read the very very few 10 star rating for his show and one of them said it was a instant classic, akin to "riverdale". keep in mind, i firmly believe he either wrote those himself or paid them to write that. and it doesn't help his case when he said that racist nerds are review bombing the show. it can't be because his show is teh shits. its always the racists.

as for ROP, how much you wanna bet that the entire war of the last collation wasn't over sauron was trying to take over middle earth but him being butthurt that not-galadriel broke his heart?

fun fact: after my sister watched, i surprised her by telling her that galadriel was married, had a daughter and that elrond was married to that daughter.

read another isekai and its so stupid that its awesome.

guy meets truck-kun. ends up in fantasy world. joins party with hero. hero, being a total bellend, kicks guy out of party. guy decides to go on his own but first, he makes it his quest to bang hero's mom. hero's mom is fine with this because in this world, if you are 30 or older, you are considered too old and no man would want you. so guy bangs and marries hero's mom and then being to bang the moms of all of the other party members because he loves milfs.

I've only experienced the show through recaps from a podcast I listen to but it is certainly something.

They have a show that purports to not be supernatural/set in a real place but also does things like randomly throw in literally a D&D style tabletop game that can alter reality and allows the cast to solve a problem in a ridiculous fashion, which they then proceed to never use or revisit again.

Gotta be honest, after RoP I'd have more respect for the show's creators if they leaned into the soap opera. I don't mind a tv show that at least understands it's trashy and just has fun with it. The show after Sauron reveal is at the point I'd actually prefer them to just completely YA alternate universe it
