[Γαῖα]

This current lord of the rings series probably does not go down well because its shrunk to snippets on TV rather than a saga played out over numerous cinema films.
Perhaps its because its not selling anything new from the original formula.
Perhaps game of thrones tells a better story, more centred around people and kingdoms rather than one evil ushering in the end and or a land strewn with creatures and humanistic races.

Perhaps all three.

This thread has devolved into a series of delusional and racist rants about how straight white males are being replaced in media. This is the core of every thread complaining about new shows or about characters being non-white. Now, if there's a non-white character in a new show, it means the show is 'woke' which is code for being anti-white.

Racism shouldn't be allowed on Off Topic.

Nor should your constant trolling and name calling everyone you disagree with, but still you make the place smell with your trolling and your own hate. You brand people with libel so you and your fellow mates can hate, like Ken. Both you and Ken

If there were racism, then the mods would have banned for that. They haven’t, because there is isn’t. See, Ken jumped to Hitler, as it’s all you have.

It's actually not true. If you go further back you can see for yourself that it was somebody else who brought up Hitler, seemingly out of nowhere and more recently traror assumed I was calling him hitler when I never said such a thing.

Couldn't care less about Hitler. I'm simply agreeing with what was said about Holly.

We need more wokeness and more woke shows to hammer home the fact that conservatism has lost.
Make them feel unwelcome everywhere. On the tv, on the internet, watching shows they used to like. Drive them from this planet.
Or.. rather.. since they can't afford a ticket off-world... drive them into the ground. Into the dirt.
While we, decent humans, will never accept them, the embrace of the earth is eternal and unconditional.

You know that a person like Bernie Sanders, would be considered a vile conservative in my country right?

I am from Europe and i'd say he is a democratic socialist. Too bad he is a coward and keeps letting the neolibs take his victories.

[Perquisitore]

Everyone I know is liking it so...

Most countries in the world only have neolib parties to choose from, since thatcher and reagan. And the right wingers act like one party is "the normal one" and the other one is "the evil extreme terroristic leftist party". I'm like bruh, they're both neolibs, and they both have the same policies, except one of them is marginally less racist.

Conservatives: We hate oligarchs! We want more power to the poor people!

Also conservatives: Let's support this rich man to power and keep giving him all our money even after he lost. That'll own da libs!

6 stars is the minimum Amazon will take, so basically 6 = 0. 7 = 3. 8 = 6. 9 = 9. 10 = 10.
and it's getting a 6. xD
