Oh I know, but it was just to show that back then, almost two decades ago, SJWs were and have been trying to deconstruct whatever they can because they're batshit-insane.

Well, there goes any chance of me watching it then.Bad news, people. The Lord of the Rings series produced by Amazon parted ways with the Tolkien Scholar Tom Shippey.
I guess the "Creative differences" were simply too great.REPORT: Amazon's Lord of the Rings Parts Ways With Tolkien Scholar Tom Shippey
Acclaimed Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey has reportedly departed Amazon's Lord of the Rings television series.www.cbr.com
They probably just wanted to attach his name to early promotional material, to make it look like they were going to be respectful towards the source material in their adaptation. Once they thought nobody was paying attention though, they got rid of him.Honestly I doubt Shippey was ever that much involved to start with.
Probably gonna watch it either way as I like fantasy. But will probably see if I can speak to an old schoolmate as to its accuracy given their love for the franchise and I'd rather not let my thoughts of a show based on a prior source be corrupted by only knowing the show variant.Bad news, people.

The contract says the Tolkien estate can veto material.They probably just wanted to attach his name to early promotional material, to make it look like they were going to be respectful towards the source material in their adaptation.

God please don’t make me even think about it.
The SJW types would probably recast him as the good guy or something because his forces are more ‘racially diverse’ and that every thing we get in the books is pro elvish propaganda. Or something equally nonsensical.
At which point I hope they are metaphorically buried alive by a horde of angry Tolkien fans and scholars.
"Post-canon", that's the newest version of their poison, sorry, post-modernism. Nothing is canon anymore, but what they write and publish is less non-canon than anything else. Very communist in its nature.
As long as the estate remains with Amazon, I doubt the SJW agenda will have too much sway.
Jeff Bezos used to do tabletop Campaigns set in the LOTR verse off a DnD mod..the scripts are literally adaptations of his old campaigns. He isn't making this show for a wide audience..He's embodying the selfishness, rudderless bullshit Generation X was famous for in the late 90's and he's blowing billions just to entertain his buddies over pizzas and beer.
I don't think he gives a single solitary fuck about whether or not the show makes any profit for Amazon..He's worth too much money and is way too personally involved with the show. Which leads me to believe he's burning cash just for nostalgiasake.
What we're gonna get is literally fanfiction.
Somehow, WAY better than being dumb enough to believe that WOKE-ness' the way to the future
That said, man I can understand guys getting pissed at him for only giving a few million to charity if he can waste money on shit like this that isn't gonna turn a real profit
Yeah I always figured one way or another this is a Bezos vanity project more than a sincere adaptation...or an attempt to destroy Tolkien via bongo-ism.
Each season is gonna cost 1.7 billion...dollars
And this guy barely puts funds in better workplaces
That at least had it's own original setting.You know what Record of Lodoss War is?
That at least had it's own original setting.
