I love the Tolkien fans, Amazon/the Tolkien Society are angry because the fans hate this garbage. They said that the fans are racist and homophobes because after the first looks at the series came out, "mean" comments were flying at them. Personally, I believe the Tolkien fandom is the hardest nut to crack in the age of turning franchises woke.

Probably has something to do with all of the right wingers, such as Catholics, perennial Traditionalists, and "white nationalists" who love Tolkien.

Aka the people that make up 90% of the fandom

Another thing I noticed the Tolkien fans tend to have that was reflected in Tolkien's works is a love of morals and virtue, even if its natural virtue. People read the books and even when they watch the movies they want to reflect the virtues shown, (i.e. the loyalty of Sam, perseverance of Frodo, repentance of Boromir for his faults, the purity of heart that Faramir possesses)

Its something the Game of Thrones didn't have, that show threw virtue and morals out the window. Envy, lust, hatred, revenge dominated the storyline. George Martin said he added that stuff to "reflect human nature", "reflecting the tendencies of our heart".

May I remind you the director said he wants the Amazon series to be the "next Game of Thrones"

I find it ironic that my sister loves Tolkien but t supports progressive views herself...

The absolute degeneracy was why I never could get into GoT, even when I was an atheist. Theres something abhorrent on a natural level of glorifying vices.

I honestly don't think they will go this route with RoP, I believe Bezos meant it as the next big fantasy phenomenon. But the liberal hallmarks are on course to be there. I expect "oppressed" tranny elves or something too.
