Seriously this is a bizarre take by the writer. But I guess, not surprising when they say this show takes place a “generation” before the LOTR movies when the Second Age started over 6,000 years before the events of the LOTR movies.
This whole article just went in completely inane directions to critique this trailer and the idea of this show.
But if we’re making a show called “The Lord Of The Rings,” one must assume that eventually, there will be a season about the book The Lord Of The Rings.
I still have hope. LOTR movies/books are hands down my favorite series, so despite this looking rather... eh, I’m still planning to watch it.
You mean that she’s black? Just say it.

The vast majority of the time its laughing and joking and being…
More like this is the best slide show ever. These were probably supposed to be a bunch of slides and we instead got blessed with a normal list.

Missed opportunity to launch a new franchise a la Harry Potter via basing it off the 80's Saturday morning cartoon about a group of kids on an amusement park roller coaster than gets sucked through a portal into the fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons.
Promising for sure. But then, I’m a D&D nerd, so I was going to see this anyway. Hoping for the best.
This actually looks better than it has any right to.
Mandarins are not a type of tangerine.
This is amazing. Good to be passionate about your work, I guess.
