I love that, it is rather funny, even if its harsh on some sensetive issues.

The truth is harsh...

Haven’t seen it but just didn’t like the style of what it seems like theyre going for. I feel like it’s doing what they did to Star Wars…take a classic series and devalue it. LotR was like one of the most innovative blockbusters of all time. I don’t think anyone ever really had a chance of recapturing that.

The new GoT is alright so far. It’s not S8 levels of badness. I think it has potential.

It seems just like here and someone removing their posts... there's saving face going on.

A ton of negative reviews have been removed by Rotten Tomatoes... funny business as usual for Rotten Tomatoes trying to steer the numbers...

But even so the numbers are dropping...

When even damage control can't save your ass, you know you've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up big time.

Brand recognition is still too appealing. Why do you think we keep getting a TV show or movie exploiting a pre-established franchise every five seconds?

$1b dollars, and their latest promo can't break 10k views (at time of posting).

DEAD IN THE WATER.

1. Is there a correlation between Rotten Tomatoes and actual viewing? Or can anyone post onto Rotten Tomatoes regardless of whether they watched the show or not?

2. The books are still there. No one's changed the books. No one is subverting Tolkien's works. The shows and films don't change the books. The shows/films are just different interpretations of the text.

3. One thing is certain, Tolkien fans are insufferable.

Because on one side you have people who knows nothing about lotr paid for giving a positive review.

On the other side you have lotr fans pissed to see this dumb fanfic with the only selling point being "muuh diversity".

So is that insufferable to call out ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ propaganda and the fact that the show isn't even good if it was it's own thing?

1. You're proving my point.

2. A fantasy show about dwarves and elves is not propaganda. get a grip.

And yet they chose Tolkien's works and not make their own... so only "insufferable" if not gullible is what you're trying to say?

Because Amazon knew what the fans reaction would be...

First they said it was "Just like Tolkien" then "Like Tolkien but he would "approve" then "it's ours"
