I'm sure it'll be great I just have no idea what their business plan is. How many Prime subscriptions are they going to have to sell for the thing to break even? Are the collectors going to buy enough toys and DVDs for it? Something tells me Amazon isn't that concerned about the cost.

Yeah; Amazon, like Disney, can afford to take huge losses now – if not indefinitely – to secure a bigger piece of the streaming market in the future.

Episode 2 was better.
Galadriel is the drag. I just don't care. When it gets to her parts, I just find myself wanting to go back to Elrond with the Dwarves or the Harfoots.

Yeah, a lot of people watched it. A lot of people saw Avatar too, it doesn’t mean anyone liked it or it was worth rewatching it.

looking forward to Rotten Tomatoes deleting any reviews that aren't positively glowing, again. Yeah, a lot of people watched it. A lot of people saw Avatar too, it doesn’t mean anyone liked it or it was worth rewatching it. Do you have anything to contribute besides salt and snark? Any thoughts on what worked or what didn't? Have you even watched it?

Calm down, relax. I have nothing positive to add because nothing of the show has been positive so far.

Perhaps you should remind yourself of that whenever you post in the Synder thread than. Seriously, have a nice day dude.

"Snyder's trolls posted some new atrocity, here's why they're wrong" and "Here's specific reasons why I have issues with Zack Snyder's movies" vs. "Lord of the Rings is getting good reviews? Must be because Rotten Tomatoes are deleting the negative ones" and "It got good ciewing numbers? Doesn't matter, it still sucks and I'll give no reasons why I think so or any indication that I've watched a second of it." Totally the same thing. But whatever, peace out dude, we've derailed the thread enough.

I'll give it a watch and give my opinion in a few days. I'm not going in with the most positive mindset due to the atrocious trailer. So it's got its work cut out to impress me. Still, if it does...

i watched it i liked it i think it's worth rewatching My big concern is if the focus is too much of Galadriel. Shes boring. More Nori and more Elrond and Durin.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night and loved just about everything about it. I'm so glad it has turned out well, I was just dreading it.
Then followed it up with House of the Dragon which was also awesome
Just a great time for big budget fantasy shows!

I really don't like Galadriel. These people rescued you froma crappy little raft in the middle of nowhere, shut the f*** up complaining and show some respect and gratitude.

The hostility bothered me a bit as well. I get what they are going for, she’s been through a lot and is around a bunch of elf-racists, but even the human next to her could figure out that this was a time to be more diplomatic. I liked her slow mo horse riding face. Was like 🤪 MORE NORI!!!!!

"The land we gave you!" and implying they wouldn't have achieved this without the elves. She just comes across as such as petulent, entitled brat. That's there kingdom. They asked you to remain in the palace--a reasonable enough request if they think you might be a spy or elven agent. First thing she does is disrespect their queen, be rude to everyone, try to steal and boat and threaten to stab the one guy out to help her.

I find it interesting that the part I was most skeptical about, the Harfoots, is just delightful. More Nori and Poppy! More goofy Chief!
Elrond and Durin is solid and I found myself missing it greatly in Ep 3.
Something is very off about Galadriel and I can't put my finger on it. She's so far up her own ass yet they are trying to play her as being graceful or some bullshit. I dunno, I just know it's not good. Almost feels like they flip a coin to decide what her attitude is going to be per scene. I can handle characters changing motivations and feelings over time, but it comes across very willy nilly. Like she's Big Show and randomly decides she's a face one minute and a heel the next.
The stuff in Green Mordor is cool. We know the end result but that doesn't mean the story can't be neat.

I watched it. I liked it.
Don't get what the uproar is about, although I have some idea "bla bla bla, black characters, bla bla bla, not cannon, bla bla"
Looking forward to the next episode.
