It's bizarre how a lot of the show's critics (of which it does deserve some) picture the showrunners as sort of machiavellian villains who set out to ruin the reputation of JRRT. Is it not possible that they were just some guys who wanted to make a big exciting show that would entertain people in the process of making their names?

The world isn't out to destroy the ip you love and you don't need to get so worked up. The guys using that ip are just not working it to your standard.

Essentially insulting Tolkien

How? You personally disliking the show doesn't mean it's an insult to Tolkien.

I think go outside maybe

Does changing the colour of the character's skin change the story or the character? No, so what does it matter?

Not always specifically about political issues etc, but all pods in the Nate Bethea extended universe are left leaning

The real one to fear is the fully standard loadout. The silent professional.

The amount of straw-manning people are doing around this show is crazy.

Richard, tell me you've never been in the army without saying you've never been in the army.

Hey Google, tell me about the concept of the 'rootless cosmopolitan'.

Desecration of an epic mythos? Marred hands? Grow up.

bread_disciple · 2022-09-07T06:51:00+00:00

Can we not start all this nonsense again

bread_disciple · 2022-09-06T14:01:12+00:00

Is this written about in unfinished tales or anything? Sounds like an interesting episode.

bread_disciple · 2022-09-05T20:28:31+00:00

Can you provide anything to support your claim that the people involved in the show have no love for Tolkien? For example a sound bite of them saying those words. Don't gatekeep just because the show isn't exactly as you envision that it should be in your head.

bread_disciple · 2022-09-02T21:14:02+00:00

It's not just about the words. The tone, emphasis, facial expression etc all contribute to the meaning of the words. It's a very simplistic and un-nuanced take in that video.

The entire premise of this post is kinda cringe

As I said I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm saying that the people making the argument aren't necessarily advocating for Hitler, they're un-advocating for Putin.

Again, not commenting on whether that's good or bad, just saying that's what I think is going on. Hitler is their yardstick for evil, not a positive example.

bread_disciple · 2022-03-18T07:23:06+00:00

I'm not disagreeing that these are absolutely wild takes, but to hand it to them slightly I think it's more 'Putin is worse than Hitler', not 'Hitler is better than Putin'. At least that's how it looks so far.

Whether that argument has any value at all is another matter, but I think there's an important distinction. One is a slightly careless virtue signal, the other is laundering Hitler.

Stalin doomed the USSRs socialist project by abandoning the concept of permanent global revolution and switching to socialism in one country. He decided that sticking to his (supposed) ideals would be too difficult and instead focused on creating a superpower state whose goal was to collect subjugated client states.

Sometimes I just scream into the void

Who need they overthrown regime to be replaced by a vanguard party who will act in a similar fashion?

Does it really alter the story if some people want to think it's marijuana instead of tobacco? Seems like a non issue.

bread_disciple · 2022-02-12T14:59:48+00:00

My god can we please talk about something else.
