At least they can't ruin the original films. Not even Hobbit could do that. It was all an inevitable trainwreck from the beginning. Since Christopher Tolkiens death the "Tolkien Society" is trying its hardest to shapeshift their stance of the IP they don't even own for modern sensibilities. way back in 2020 Amazon fired their only proper Oxford Tolkien consultant, Tom Shippey, and replaced him with folks like this, an Equality & Diversity Officer :roll:

This is for the new generation of consoomers that weren't even alive when I read the books. I. e. long before the Jackson movies existed.
We probably had that weird semi-animated film which is what got me into shortstack.
It's a trap!

It's kinda baffling, that they didn't try to make something of their own - why pick up the existing license, if you just gonna completely ignore source material and alienate all of the existing fanbase?

They could have made the EXACT same shit and just didn't call it "Lord of the rings." Change some character names (they use mostly their own created characters anyways) and voila - you have your own woke fantasy universe - everyone's happy.

The only reason for doing this, which I am able to see, is that they want to push their woke agenda, but they don't have a single original bone in their body, so they NEED to copy something already existing and then build their woke BS on top of it.

It's pure marketing bullshit. The Lord of the Rings brand is valuable, so they have to use it for their shitty spin-off not based in the original work at all.

It's the same reason they'll make Spider-Man or Superman or Batman black instead of creating their own characters. Brand recognition. If they created an entirely new black superhero, no one would care. But if they use an existing popular brand, people get pissed off and they can use that as cult marketing to draw attention to it.

It's the same reason why Microsoft paid dozens of billions of dollars for Activision, despite it only publishing garbage. Muh Callodoody IP! Muh Blizzard's IPs! As if you couldn't make a better shooter that CoD and call it something else. No, they need that fucking stale brand because der normalfag will recognize it and consoom despite the games being shit.
