The Rings of Power - Pitch Meeting | Reaction! ( 

They completely destroyed the lore. That makes me sad and mad :D

Isn't it odd how that glorious "modern audience" never actually watches anything made for them? One might start to suspect that they do not even exist.

Racism, patriotism, and jingoism were 100% themes in Lord of the Rings though. Gimli and Legolas didn't get along at first, solely because of the animosity between Elves and Dwarves; and Elrond doesn't trust the human members of the Fellowship because of the established fact that Sauron's evil corrupts Men much faster than the other races, while Hobbits are typically the slowest to convert. The creation of Orcs is following the Übermensch theory, since they are stronger, faster, and have greater stamina - they lose intellect and morality, but those are traits that Sauron disregards as unimportant, plus a dumber army is easier to keep under control. Gondor refused to send aid to Rohan because of their own self-interest, and the heroes had to work hard to get the rival kingdoms into uniting.

@@user-lb9xw4xf2qno stuff you just randomly decide means that was there. You make up stuff so people with your insane ideology can gain control of things. The woke co-opt the creations of actuators creators because they’re talentless hacks. The woke are immensely immensely and I mean just staggeringly racist people and sexist and then act like they are against racism and sexism. Why are you guys so incredibly racist and sexist towards white men the ones who created all of this and without which all these terrible woke people wouldn’t have jobs and yet then call others racist and sexist? The woke creators of this terrible show have attacked white guys over and over how are you blind to that? THAT IS RACISM AND IT IS SEXISM. Why is your compassion so extremely selective? You don’t have standards if you have double standards, that cancels out the entire idea of moral standards.

How is not wanting someone’s work destroyed being a shill? The people who are shills are the ones being paid to support the show. And elves are also basically white people just immortalized versions of that.
