Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made. - JRR Tolkien

We all already know how this ends up. Luckily we have our immortal, perfect trilogy from Peter Jackson to always go back to. Everyone will forget this show even existed in a year, but Peter's LotR is forever.

“Evil is not capable of creating anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Either going to be a masterpiece or a complete trainwreck, no middle ground for TV shows like this one.

Quando não se respeita a obra original não merece nenhum respeitos dos telespectadores.

Usually I get goosebumps when something is about lord of the rings, not this time.

I just have absolutely no faith amazon is capable of telling a compelling new story set within Tolkien’s world that both makes sense and is respectful of the source material.

I really hope they hire Howard Shore to compose the music for this show. He truly is one of the greatest composers of our time.

"But as the theme progressed, it came into the heart of Melkor to interweave matters of his own imagining that were not in accord with the theme of Iluvatar; for he sought therein to increase the power and glory of the part assigned to himself." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Somebody better attach some electrical cables to Tolkien’s grave, right now he’s spinning fast enough to power the earth for a few centuries.

“The driving question behind the production, McKay adds, was this: “Can we come up with the novel Tolkien never wrote and do it as the mega-event series that could only happen now?”” ~Vanity Fair article How can you view this as anything other than leeching off of the success of Lord of the Rings for the benefit of their own lacklustre creativity?

voice makes me wonder if we really needed this. Cate Blanchett's voice in the original prologue had such amazing depth.

The pressure to make this show absolutely iconic must be immense. There is no margin for error.

Tolkien: “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

it's just one big trainwreck people. Tolkien is rolling in his grave from this. "evil can not creat, it can only corrupt"

I think that we should do with this show what Elrond said to do with the One Ring "Cast it into the fire" I know that this looks like it will be bad but we, as a fellowship, will go through the dark times. Yes we won't like this but there is other forces in the world beyond the will of evil and what we must do with the time that was given to us is to not watch this and move on.

I really, REALLY hope we get to see the downfall of Númenor. And I **REALLY**, REAAALLLY hope that whoever is directing and writing this is A) actually talented and B) actually appreciative and passionate about Tolkien's work and his legandarium. Fingers crossed... Oh, and a great soundtrack is vital as well. Howard Shore's compositions for the film trilogy are practically perfect. The music in this trailer sounds incredibly generic, so let's hope that the actual series has decent music, preferably with motifs for each kingdom/area (or for specific major characters).

“Evil only has the power to corrupt not to create” - JRR Tolkien

If this is written by people actually interested in writing amazing stories and people that love the original books it has potential. More likely it's shaped and prodded and contorted so many times by marketing execs and soulless producers that it'll be artificial garbage.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

There can be no room for error in Tolkeins world. They've already added a diverse cast so yeah it already sucks.

"You have to understand the good in things, to detect the real evil." - J.R.R. Tolkien

It makes me happy to see that the world still has good in it, that the honest folk aren't scared to call a spade a spade, and reject this atrocity

One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, and one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Do we really need an amazing movie that has all ready been done and made into a series

This reason why we have fewer and fewer people who want watch films. Do something new without a modern agenda.

Please, please, PLEASE don't ruin this!!!

Learning that this was done practically, I have faith a bit of love went into making this show

"Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made"

If it aint broken, don't fix it. - J.R.R Tolkien simplified.

Yeaaaah, I'm gonna pass on this one.

I love Tolkien's work, I have read the books many times and was impressed with Peter's Jackson's films. From what I've heard about this so far......I'll give it a miss, thanks,

THANK YOU to all Rangers of Middle-earth for defending the MASTERPIECE J.R.R. TOLKIEN

Either this show is gonna honor The LOTR and The Hobbit trilogy or it will increase their value even more but this show will definitely not be better than the OGs.

"Its a pity they didnt sack this show when they had the chance!" "Pity? Many shows that air deserve to be sacked, many that are sacked deserve to air. Can you make Firefly air again Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out sacking in judgement..."

Tolkienin en büyük hayraniyim ,küçüklüğümden bu epik destansı hikayelerle büyüdüm ,kitaptan sonra filmini sinema gösterimi den beri aynı tutkuyla izledim ve hala izlerim ,bu dizi gelince çok heyecanlandım çoğu lotr fanı bu yapım için hayalkırıklığı diyor ama bence bu yapıma karşı önyargılar yıkılıp bir şans verilmeli ,dizilerin efendisi olacağından da kuşkum yok ,tek beklentim ilk çağa da inşallah güzel bir vurgu yapıp önemliolaylari kısa birkesit halinde ara sahnelerde veya dizinin ilk bölümünde güzelce aktarmalari olacak

“It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of [author J.R.R.] Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like,” - You know this is now doomed to fail if they were more concerned about today's world telling a LOTR story what a shame had hopes for this

"One does not simply create a LOTR series and put their own spin on it.... for the great eye, is ever watchful."

"El que rompe algo para saber lo que es, ha perdido el camino de la sabiduría" J.R.R. Tolkien Lo que han hecho aquí es ir en contra del legado creativo de su autor, se han inventado casi todo, confunden escenarios y hacen progresismo irrisorio para llenar su cuota en vez de ir por el camino correcto, habiendo tanto que usar prefirieron hacer el trabajo flojo de crear algo más light y dañar una obra tan especial para muchos, debería darles vergüenza

Man I'd love to see the dislike to like ratio on this

Another masterpiece ruined 💔💔💔

After seeing the pictures of the production etc., I came to the conclusion that this show needs to have the same fate as the One Ring. So in the immortal words of Elrond in Mount Doom: DESTROY IT!

Vamos guerreiros combater o senhor do escuro que deturpa a obra do professor Tolkien

"We wanted to honor Tolkien and obviously he was a very spiritual person. We've taken an approach of never trying to put in our own message or our own baggage into these films. We want the films to respect him and what he was about." ' (Peter Jackson, Interview, New York City, December 4, 2002) "It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of [author J.R.R.] Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like,” -Lindsey Weber, Executive Producer Amazon LOTR show Here you see the difference.

It's going to have to be all about good character arcs, with intrigues and resolutions that emerge ORGANICALLY- because everyone knows how it ends. No D&D GoT bs about subverting expectations.

I can tell this show is going to be great!!

“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” - Tolkien

I might cry if they mess this up. Please for the love of god don't mess it up

Estranho como este trailer me dá um sentimento de felicidade e medo ao mesmo tempo.

"We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyze what was important to Tolkien and to try to honor that. In a way, were trying to make these films for him, not for ourselves." - Peter Jackson "Evil cannot create. It can only corrupt and destroy." J.R.R Tolkien

One does not simply destroy Tolkien's legacy.

I'm going to stick to the books by JRR and Christopher Tolkien. This will be another Hollyweird disaster

If you want an inclusive fantasy show, by all means, go for it, but stand on your own two feet.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
