Ahem, woke or not, I probably won't give this one much of my time. I love the LOTR series, the Hobbit was an abomination. It smacked of "Well, we have to make 3 movies out of it, that's where the money is". When you take such liberties with a beloved and awesome simple story in order to stretch it out and jam in a bunch of characters that were not in the original story...well, it's obvious it was a studio money making gambit. Those movies are so forgettable, in spite of some decent to great performances, especially Smaug.
After seeing that shit, I'm frankly afraid that this show, which could draw on the Silmarilian for it's material, will in all likelihood just be some meandering mess full of "neato" call backs (even though it's a prequel). The idea of wokeness is real too, and I'm sure there will be many eye-rolling moments in this thing. I just don't trust them to do it right. But, you never know I guess. The Mandalorian for instance IMO so far has been shockingly good. We'll see what they do with the next season. I'll probably look into this LOTR thing, but I don't have high hopes at all. |

Is there a bigger idiot on this board than BlackOp? It's not even just the fact that he has shitty takes; he's aggressively stupid.
"iTs ObViOuS tHe CaStInGs WeRe RaCe BaSeD".. as if this ****er was sitting in on auditions lol With this and all the NFL conspiracy shit, imagine being so invested in these types of opinions. |

That's a tell-tale of someone with no convictions...you need others to reassure you. You have a spine made of Jell-O... Your tirade has inspired me to design a new series of Woke Muppets...I'll be using you as a muse...a character affectionately named "flappy" Last edited by BlackOp; 02-16-2022 at 09:06 PM.. |

You're a lunatic. The only place you're not laughed at is D.C. That should tell you everything about how you're perceived here. |

Unfortunately, the harsh reality is it just publicly reaffirms his malformed spine...vicious cycle...nature is unforgiving like that. |

Great..I have inspiration for a new muppet character. Average to low IQ, poor physical health and a propensity for misplaced authoritarianism. Overstates his own value and compensates with bloated bravado...culturally illiterate of the fine arts, philosophy and literature.
I'll have have name for you shortly..."Dim" will be a working title. I can pair you two up...you can be the verbose, ignorant one with domineering qualities...and Flappy can be the impressionable, submissive character. He keeps getting hurt and maimed due to your terrible life advice but keeps coming back for more abuse. Dim and Flappy does have a nice cadence. Last edited by BlackOp; 02-17-2022 at 12:36 AM.. |
