brace for incoming racists pissed about black actors/people existing.

    My prediction is that they're framing it as something affirming and sex positive rather than the WOW!!!! THEY CAN SHOW BOOBA ON THIS CABLE SHOW SO YOU KNOW ITS HARDCORE :awooga: cheap titillation angle Game of Thrones took

      That may be the case, especially because a "consultant" is involved instead of just creeping on Emilia Clarke and filming her visibly distressed by coerced nude scenes.

      We'll see. Well, I'll read about it. I refuse to watch it unless a miracle happens and I hear something about it that makes it less horrible than Star Trek Picard or the like.

        Oh, I still think sexing up Middle-Earth is a terrible idea and fully expect this will be as bad as Picard, I just think it'll be a different flavour of bad.

        On one hand I'm really looking forward to dunking on this show but am also dreading the fact that most of the dunking will be reactionary nerd dumdums going :frothingfash: JEWISH HOLLYWOOD DEVIANTS PUT BLACK PEOPLE ON MIDDLE-EARTH TO SPITE THE PROUD ANGLO SAXON RACE or whatever

          That was my problem with a lot of recent franchise retreats, reboots, and the like: a lot of them sucked, but because so many :frothingfash: were enraged about politically-colored protagonists or a feeeeemale with hair dye, criticizing said treats was often lumped in with fascist rage and the culture wars then imply you have to like the slop to be a good "progressive" culture warrior.
