Honestly I don't mind the caption thing that much, the dialogue was worse Every line you chop off the end, the scene becomes better. No idea why they thought they had to spoonfeed a concept this simple this much.

They should have just kept going with it actually "That is the name of a place that no longer exists." "What should we call it instead?" "We shall call it... MORDOR." "Are you suggesting that right now is the dramatic moment when the infamous nation of Mordor comes into being?" "Yes. Change all the signs." "Right away, my lord." then a time-lapse of a bunch of orcs repainting a highway sign to read "WELCOME TO MORDOR" while Danger Zone plays e: poo poo i forgot "Mordor... has a nice ring to it", v important line loquacius has issued a correction as of 20:19 on Oct 7, 2022 |

I liked the first few eps of Rings but fell off into other shows I was assuming they were going to tell the story of Celebrimbor forging the rings, and Sauron's rise, similar to the Shadow of Mordor games? But then someone mentioned they didn't have the rights to The Silmarillion? did they just make poo poo up and do something else completely?

Durf posted:I liked the first few eps of Rings but fell off into other shows they bought tolkein's appendices, which contain some of the silmarillion but not all. so the arc of the show will be the forging of the rings and the consequences thereof, and we've had hints of that direction already. but the first season's almost over and frankly not a ton happened

Filthy Hans posted:this week was probably the worst one so far for the Rings show but after that novelty worn off, drat man it's loving dire in it's mediocrity. it also doesn't help that prequel lore is kinda boring because we all already know what happens to sauron and gladriel and poo poo.

The show could be cool if it actually was about Sauron seeding discord among the different peoples of Middle-Earth, and we had both his perspective and the ones trying to fight against or resist him, and the ones who are seduced by it. Instead it's boring mystery box after boring mystery box and NOTHING loving HAPPENS Seriously, after seven episodes I think the only thing that happened was a volcano blowing up, and a Balrog waking up ahead of schedule (and who knows if it will do anything) The dwarves part rules, though

Most visual effects studios are being worked to the loving bone, so the artists and designers don't have time to make things look better, doesn't matter how expensive it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eALwDyS7rB0 Another article about it

I think the opening of the latest Rings of Power means we can comfortably say that culturally we’ve recovered from 9/11 imagery.

Xaris posted:i presume half of it is grifted out, and other half is because everyone is pretty incompetent and gotta keep spending money to start over instead of starting with a clear and direct vision for what everything should look like before a dollar is spent. I think the bolded part is wildly important and people underestimate how much the end result is dependent on someone involved in the actual making of the work being there at every step of the process to ensure a creative vision is being carried out. Like, this lord of the rings show did not start with some screenwriter or director saying "I wanna make a lord of the rings tv show," it started with some loving psycho at Amazon putting together a PowerPoint using words like "content" and "Properties" and "streaming markets". And I think if there's someone along the way who decides to make a project their own, something good can still come out of that. But over time, there is less opportunity for anything except the stuff that starts as PowerPoints.
