If you have to use nudity to try and appeal to people who are too cheap to buy Playboy then there's zero chance of this not being a dumpster fire.

Eh, nudity is nudity. Doubt it will be much or add to anything but it somewhat makes sense to show Elves with a sort of ethereal nudity.

Is nudity really that big of a deal breaker for Tolkien fans? Were they really that hyped over the possibility of seeing an Orc wang?

They say 'tasteful' which could mean anything. Might just be the Hobbits frolicking in the Burrows.

Just wait until we find out the Rings of Power were originally Cock Rings

I completely believe there is a way to have nudity within a Middle Earth story and still have it fit thematically and without violating the spirit of the work.
I have very low expectations for the likes of Amazon to pull it off.

Even Tolkien himself said that nothing very interesting happened in The Second Age and he didn't write very much about it at all which means the writers are going to have to make a lot of plot and characters up on their own. Oof...

Oof... Second Age is odd like that. Thousands of years of "and everybody got along and were successful" with a couple 5-20 years spans of super wacky shit. I've always assumed they'll focus on like the 4 main things that happened: Founding of Númenor, War of Sauron and the Elves (when the rings were made), Númenor getting so full of itself it tries to invade Valinor, and the sinking of the island/retreat to Middle Earth/Last Alliance.

Plenty of brutal violence in the original movies and we’re talking about them potentially showing some boobs?

I can't help but shake the feeling this is gonna be mediocre.
I expect it to look absolutely gorgeous with amazing special effects and some killer battle scenes, but I also expect it to have poor dialogue and a shaky plot. I definitely think they'll have a pretty modern script, which will seem out of place with the high fantasy setting.
Not overly thrilled with the casting either. None of the names jump out at me as "wow, he/she is always awesome" the way a casting like Pedro Pascal did for The Last of Us or Cavill for The Witcher. But, then again, Game of Thrones had some lesser known actors who turned out to be amazing, like Jack Gleeson.
Hope I'm wrong. I love LotR and Middle Earth, so I hope this is great.

A better idea would have been a spin off trilogy of movies based around those two blue wizards.

Look, I am not saying I need to see some troll boobs in order to watch this show, but if I am on the fence about this series, then troll boobs may just sway me into the right direction.

They need to have two trolls having sex with each other while discussing Middle Earth politics.
That will be immediately followed by a jump cut to GRRM nodding in approval,
