On one hand, the "diversity" push for this series gives me concerns that the show runners are more concerned with a message and their politics than making a great LOTR series.

On the other hand, I really liked what I saw in this trailer.

Just like with everything else that looks like it could be good, I will go into it cautiously optimistic.

As long as it's good, I really don't give a shit about anything else.

Switched out the new trailer and updated the OP.

Maybe a mod can change the title of this thread to "Rings of Power" or LOTR: "Rings of Power"

I think it has potential to be good fantasy...but I am not sure it is going to be able to be good Tolkien.

I actually really like that actress. She does have a memorable emoting. Face that is probably what they’re looking for.

Color me not worried about it.

shitting on source material, one as beloved as Tolkien's LOTR, just to force wokeness is pretty lame.

The irony is the GoT is doing the same thing in a much more acceptable way.......

What characters are being gender and/or race swapped? Any that people who aren't nerds with OCD have ever heard of?

black people do not play elves, dwarves or hobbits as a general rule

it's immersion breaking

kind of like jamming a bunch of white people in one of jordan peele's films...hell let's reboot the cosby show and make em all white...but i'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with that, right?
