@SteveStray13 @BeAwareSon @tolkienprof that the show will or could change or destroy, whether directly or indirectly,Tolkien's work. Absolutely irrational.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@SteveStray13 @BeAwareSon @tolkienprof Look lets make 1 thing clear. Im not against being critical of the show. Im actually against the "changes". Even the title sucks. Its not recognizable as something LOTR. Instant Grade F there. It should be Rings of Arda. im only against the concious or subconcious notion....

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@BeAwareSon @tolkienprof But do i think it matters ? NO. You can just turn away and not watch it. All the right wing vloggers are capitilizing on all this irrationality.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@BeAwareSon @tolkienprof Im not defending it. Im just saying ths amazon show will not ruin Tolkien's legacy. So called purists in their outrage act as if a tv show has some power over a published work. They actually admit to this which really puts to question sanity. Do o think amazon is wrong?YES...But

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@HunterQuam @mustafakoc_96 @JohnCAsbill @BeAwareSon @tolkienprof Na we just have a problem with people who can't tell the difference between change/progress and change that introduces a false diluted version of the original. That would be you.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@thestarkiller1 @Mantia @mustafakoc_96 @JohnCAsbill @BeAwareSon @tolkienprof Same. In fantasty anything goes is the stupidest concept ever. If it were up to him lotr would have robots, laser guns and caramel toffee could appear out ot thin air. What a nut.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@Mantia @mustafakoc_96 @thestarkiller1 @JohnCAsbill @BeAwareSon @tolkienprof Hate to be a character in your moviem. You'd probably turn lotr into a porno. Going by your stupid logic.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@BeAwareSon @tolkienprof So this show would ruin your exp of the books? What you read stays in your mind unchanged. Its as if Tolkien's work would be altered by this show. Could you be less dramatic and provide evidence that showing a brown skinned Dwarf woman is some kind of leftist agenda....

@demonslayer_hc How long will the game stay on steam?

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@LOTRUpdates Dont agree with the architecture. Numenor is supposed to represent Atlantis. More peculiar,archaic and simplistic. So the feel should be more a mix of greek and egyptian or mesopotamian.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@tolkienprof @theoneringnet In unfinished tales and other post humous works on middle earth.Christopher Tolkien reiterated that Galadriel was unique amongst elf maidens in that she had the physicality of elf men and participated in sport and was quite active in war.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@tolkienprof The objections are warranted however pple are getting upset because they have this impression or irrational fear that the amazon show and the books are automatically 1. When they are entirely unconnected. Tolkien wld never approve of that show we all know that.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@shortshift3 Im pretty sure in some future..some other guy will have his own take on it as well. Hopefully, and preferrably, it would be done in keeping with everything Tolkien had written.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@shortshift3 Tolkien purists are just afraid that the true impression noobs ought to be getting from the books will be marred by this adaption.Thats the root of it all. They dont really care how the show is made.1/2

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@sithlordfaust @shortshift3 @theoneringnet So i dunno why amazon had to alter dwarves and elves.

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@sithlordfaust @shortshift3 @theoneringnet Tolkien already established what the different peoples are. In as far as diversity goes ..THERE ARE. He has mentioned Dark Numenoreans, Brownish harfoots and easterlings. There are also those wild forest aboriginal people that Aragorn met. So middle earth is not short of...

@RobSchneider @MykeyLaramie You think the virus isnt real or something? Worse yet..do you think that freedom to wear or not to wear a mask is more important than contracting the virus itself?

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@shortshift3 @theoneringnet I don't think you get it. Have read Tolkien's article on fairy stories?

[MikeyisSad @MikeyisS]

@shortshift3 @theoneringnet Why are you presuming that fantasy to me has to be all white? That is immediately hostile.Of course not. With d&d realms i certainly don't. But middle earth is not Vox Machina or D&D.
