From the looks of this, there needs to be some scenarios developed to play out the battles in this first season…
what’s with that robotic singing ?
voice modulators instead of actual capable choir ?
If all of that has to happen in a single season there’s not much room for story or character development …
Next weekend can’t come soon enough. Eager to see what it’s like – not over hyping things too much for myself but any Middle-earth is goo for me! I much prefer the soundtrack that they’ve shown off so far over the track used here but otherwise looking forward to this.
I don’t have prime so won’t be watching… but I’ve heard they are taking liberties with Tolkien lore and even sacked their Tolkien scholar.
As a generic fantasy series it has some decent looking production values, but if you know the lore it’s jarring to have what you know changed.
“taking liberties with the lore” ah … so that’s why there’s a beardless black dwarf and elf of colour …
I mean ffs.
It’s an episodic format, so you’re not constraint by time like a movie is.
As such you can show us every single event that is a good plot/story.
And then you decide … “nah, we are ‘better’ than Tolkien at writing lore so we’re going to rewrite it”
The guy wrote almost literal bibles just to tell a short story … and they chose to ignore all of that?
I’ve got so many bad feelings about this show now.
It’s “wheel of time” all over again …
Will they be taking as many liberties as Jackson did do you think ?
I wonder if the series will have a comedy double act in it ?
Well @torros, it does have Lenny Henry, and I can’t see him as anything other than Lenny, especially when he is using his Brummie accent.
Ouch Wheel of Time was just SOOOOOOO bad, thanks for giving me the flashbacks Limburger 🙁
Wooden acting with the “actors” seemingly chosen for their looks rather than acting ability (well the male lead actor could have been replaced with a wooden shelving unit and you probably wouldn’t notice).
Not holding out much hope for this one, mind you Jackson did a “George Lucas” on the previous offerings. The first three films very good, the Hobbit Trilogy…what was he thinking (comedy dwarves and all that). I think when it comes to childhood memories of reading books like these, we would all be better just leaving the material as a book and not going down the rabbit hole of what mess Disney/Amazon/Netflix/AppleTV is going to make of it trying to appease the modern audience 🙁
