I think it’s due to HotD being absolutely fantastic so far. Not much to argue about vs lots of questionable decisions made to what amounts to modern Shakespeare in literary works.
Is it really that good? Can I watch it as someone who only watched up to season 5 of GoT?
Yes and absolutely.
I’m still here. Can’t stop this love
I disagree - the show is not okay. It is very bad actually. I’ll gladly debate you on what you think is good about this show.
If you go into any show with the intention of “hate watching” there will always be stuff to criticize. It’s also easy to state your opinions as facts.
Multiple reasons:
Guys, talking about the poor writing, poor acting, poor costumes, poor pacing is now nitpicking.
Writing is debatable. What’s wrong with the acting and costumes? I think most of the actors are doing a pretty good job. Costumes look great. Especially the dwarves. Not really a fan of the numenor costumes and gowns though. Numenor itself looks too clean to me. Most of my issues with the show come from the numenor sets.
Writing is debatable but no one who thinks this show is good wants to talk about the writing it seems.
IMHO this is meant to depict the harshness of a nomadic lifestyle. I once saw a pretty old BBC documentary about "the dawn of civilization", in the first episode they showed the life of some of the last primitive nomadic-living people on earth, migrating along with their livestock from grazing ground to grazing ground with the seasons. There was one scene (which I found pretty shocking at the time) where the tribe have to cross a river and anyone who was to weak or old to cross at the best wading place, was basically left on the far bank to die.
And at least pretend that the stretch of calm, idyllic plains was actually a harsh stretch of wilderness full of terrors and they CAN NOT STOP no matter what. An not show a bunch of folks casually strolling alongside wagons that could carry this guy.
LOL nobody *walks* alone, but if you're too injured to walk, the song says nothing about dying alone ;-)
Yeah for Numenor they have to kind of hold a middle ground between a kind of utopia (which is what it's described as by tolkien IIRC) and an actual place that people live in in the middle ages. It should look a lot dirtier and more lived in but that would make it look too much like Gondor, which is supposed to be an inferior copy of Numenor IIRC
Ya I’ll agree on that. Song just doesn’t fit there at all. That was stupid
Or even better, have a lot of the other Harfoots walk by with little gifts or saying good-bye because they KNOW that family isn't gonna make it. ANY empathy from those little book following sociopaths would be nice.
None of that manufactured outrage works unless people are already discontent for some reason. This show is just slower and more boring than treebeard and hits bum note after bum note. Some people, who love the world, can mine it for what they think are the good parts, but most will look more at what it is overall.
The key here, for film, is layered or textured fabric that gets beaten with wire brushes to get a little frayed and thinned.
Don’t worry. The leader( black hobbit) time is coming soon. He’s getting old and peeps are gonna be quick to bounce on him lol.
I get what they are trying to do. Like a poster mentioned above, it was a manufactured crisis so the Stranger or whatshisname would have to help. But it was sloppy and needlessly thoughtless, 'bout what I've come to expect from this creative team. Might as well have had the girl wander off of a morn looking for butterflies and miss the departure, least then you'd still feel some sympathy for the rest o'the lot.
What makes it worse is that the guy got hurt helping with whatever entertaining the town where they read out the names of those who didn't make(almost in a trollish way I might add) and not while he was wondering off doing some personal things. And you can also see Harfoots being smiley and jolly when they're moving away from that family...
My lust for entmaidens is undiminished I fear, for they are nigh the only maidens that can comfortably accomodate my gaf-sized manhoodStanning for the ents won't get an entwife (entmaiden?) to sleep with you
oh christ do NOT search "entwife" with safe search off. F'n rule 34ers!
Kick in the goldberries no less
I have found my way through both through dessicated shrubland and tropical rainforest
She's getting old now. The new one is way more cute haha.No doubt
But how mad does she get if you misspell her name in a text the morning after??.
Dude that's not a misspell, that's a completely different elf
Love her as an actress and think she’s very pretty even though not really my type. For some reason I find her super sexy as godess of death though.No doubt
Because we wanted it to be good. But it turned out to be bad because Amazon decided to be woke instead of focusing on making a good show.
