>>213324412 (OP)Is there anyone left who still actually gives a shit about this?
>>213324412 (OP)Didnโt the say Sauron was going to be like Walter from Breaking Bad? I swear I read that once a few years ago.
>In this season we just decided to time skip to the end of the story arc
confirmed that it's getting cancelled.
it doesn't say next year. i hope it's this year. if it's next year then hopefully right after new years

they just started filming, itโs coming september 2026
>>213324412 (OP)>>213324519so is this going to be like The Wheel of Time where it takes them 2 seasons of shit to figure out what fans wanted, still somehow fail to deliver in season 3 and then get cancelled?
>>213324650shame. but i guess actors do multiple thing at once and don't commit to one show for years in row so have to schedule everything. which is probably actual nightmare to do whoever has to arrange all that.
Recently read the books and it dawned on me that the movies were, for the most part, shit as well, and the only reason I liked them was because of the 10/10 actors. None of the script changes benefit the plot or the characters, and the increasing reliance on CGI kills the two towers and RotK.
>>213324412 (OP)Again? He crafted that fucking ring in each of the previous two seasons, wtf?
>>213324519They're not skipping to the end. In the books, the War of the Elves and Sauron happened 1800 years before the end of the Second Age. This is a result of them condensing thousands of years worth of events into a handful of years. So they have to rush through the War in order to get character to where they need to be for the next big event. Then they're going to have to rush through that in the next season to get the remaining characters to the next big event for season 5. This is what happens when you massively screw up the timeline of a story AND waste what time you do have on irrelevant side shit (Gandalf and the Harfoots fucking around in Rhun, for example).
>>213324412 (OP)This show was so bad it made HotD a massive hit just by being slightly better
>>213324702I've never watched Breaking Bad so I have no idea what Walter White is like, but Sauron in season 2 was undercover with the elves pretending to be their ally, and manipulating them into creating the rings of power for him. He was also kinda sorta corrupting some of them so they'd be easier to destroy once he was done with them.
Amazon wanted to drag RoP onto the culture war but failed.
Even redditors hate RoP, not to mention 4chan. Only one leftist schizo defends RoP on 4chan.
