So the Tolkien fans have had plenty of time to react to Amazon's billion dollar insanity, The Rings of Power. The consensus is almost unanimous: "What fresh Hell is this?"
Most of the videos are too long, unless you're a die hard fan. I am a die hard fan; I used to read Lord of the Rings about once a year. Then I went to watching the extended edition of the movies about once a year. I think I will go back to reading them. I also used to own the BBC dramatization on cassette tape, and I had the unabridged audio book on CD. Like I said...
Here's a link to one such fan video. LOTR: The Rings of Power Trailer REACTION | This is Going to be a DISASTER. The best line in that video might be in relation to inter-racial love-story:
Guess Who's Coming to Second Breakfast.
There is also a line in that video about "prioritizing the message (of Woke) over good story telling."
I can't say it is the best of the fan videos, because I have only seen a few. And there are so many.
The Babylon Bee also produced a video, but it is more parody than reaction. This is the video for 9 New Woke Characters From Amazon's 'Rings of Power.'
