This is unlike other SUB deals posted here, because this show is the biggest thing coming to streaming this year! And like 90% of Ozbargain has PRIME so no one should complain about having to pay to watch this!

Description:
Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

LOTR haters can stay away from this post please :)

    Its not a deal, don't be scared into saying so either by others. It really does go against the whole OZB theme, if you already have the streaming service, then its an included "extra" its not a bargain. Sad that OZB is ok with this dilution of the definition of a bargain.

    And yes, I've filtered these, but that's irrelevant.

    I'm a proponent of allowing the SUBS to pop up as deals, but this is the first time this is being screened. Unlike cinema movies, that I may hold off buying a Blu-ray because I've noticed a SUBS deal pop up, I don't feel this unscreened series really serves as anything beyond a reminder, and certainly isn't a "deal". It's not saved me any money.

          I don't know why you're so enraged that someone criticised the show.
          It's not that big a deal. It's just a tv show.

          Are you afraid to watch a single video because you are afraid of hearing uncomfortable truths?

            I don't know why you're so enraged

            Who's enraged? Not me! I get an awesome show I'm pretty sure I'll love!

            Whereas you'll get to enjoy sliding further into irrelevance while seeking validation from some YT loser who's…also sliding further into irrelevance

            Are you afraid to watch a single video

            I think I've made a compelling case that if you've seen one insecure white dude whining about "the message" you've seen them all

      Having a few non-white actors only ruins a show for racists.

      Bad writing, on the other hand… that's universal.

        I mean in needs to still work in the context of story.
        It wouldn't make sense to cast a Celtic person in a story set in Polynesia or put a Chinese as a French revolutionary.
        I feel that sometimes forced diversity is a way out of lazy writing. If anyone criticises a character, they can just put them in the racist or sexists or whatever bin

    • dogboy on 01/09/2022 - 13:30

      Yes, yes they are. Check out any youtube video on this show and you will see how they are injecting woke culture into this.

      • cashews on 01/09/2022 - 15:16

          +1

          Fair enough and I don't really care either but I don't think you are looking deeply enough into why fans of the content are having issues with them injecting woke culture in a fantasy series that was fairly specific about certain things like that.

          • GrueHunter on 01/09/2022 - 20:51
            -1

            @dogboy: They're insecure and afraid of everything that isn't like them? They have no worthwhile skills or talents of their own and if people start making a world where being white and male isn't enough they won't have anything at all?

            Was that deep enough?

        • Muten-Roshi on 01/09/2022 - 17:33
          +4

          They're getting triggered by the disrespect the cast are having to the fans and the source material.
          They're getting mad that they're twisting a deeply allegorically Christian story (e.g Gandalf was like a stand in for Jesus), with themes of duty, love for one's friends, country and neighbours, self-sacrifice, and twisting it to be about sex and violence just to copy Game of Thrones.
          GoT was already inspired by LotR.

          It's media PR to try and shift the narrative to dismiss all criticism as the work of racists etc. Because it allows their product to enter the market strongly, get the initial viewing numbers high, regardless of the quality and timelessness of the work. And they're panicking because they invested $1B, so it's easier to blame the fans.

          I am a dark skinned person and yes I hate it when they try to push woke crap by changed characters or genders or sexuality to the point where it makes no sense. And I find it insulting when people only use the term racist or sexist when they want something to benefit them but dont fight against it on the other side when it will have a negative to them. Hollywood is not the only Movie industry, there are other massive industries out there from India, China, etc. I dont see the same people fighting for those industries to have more White people in there.

          Those industries are far less diverse than Hollywood but people only complain one way and not the other and That is the biggest insult to me since i have suffered from racism all my life. Because that to me means these people are only complaining to get some benefit to them but not actually fighting against racism itself. I hate racism in every way, I fight for it when people are racist towards others regardless of if that race is my race being the victim or the aggressor.

          Some of my favourite movies like the Alien series had strong Black or female characters including the main hero, but they werent made to be unbelievable or mary-sues…. These days the characters made in woke shows are totally unbelievable and go out of their way in the middle of combat or an important dialogue to make some social commentary that doesnt fit the plot at all.

          And there are so many stories from history or fiction that will already have characters that can fit whatever woke narrative you want, so go do them, Dont take a great story or plot that already has lore and canon behind it and then change everything about it to suit your woke storyline.

    So I started googling about it and I saw that it is getting review bombed everywhere even before release and the main reason I saw being listed were that it was supposedly "woke" and not staying true to Tolkien's work I guess. Amazon will spend close to a billion on this based on their plans.

    I will give it a shot before coming to any conclusion though.
