I went looking for this thread to get the reaction of the site to Stephen Colbert leading the way for the next installment in this world. Surprised to see nothing in a while on the thread.

The Critical Drinker is unsurprisingly not a fan.

There was a thread about it a couple weeks ago:

Great casting. She definitely has the features playing an elf. I'm just not sure about introducing a new character on an already established story. Looks like this movie will be more "The Hobbit" than lotr and that makes me sad.

I'm torn on this one. Some of my favorite LOTR content is the appendices in the ROTK paperback and Unfinished Tales. I know large amounts of the plot in this will be made up fan fiction.

The world building will likely be the only needlemover for a super fan such as myself. Super fan in the sense of textual content of LOTR, not of all the on screen properties.

In all likelihood the world building as a good chance of being bad ass…

Compared to the garbage filler injected into the Star Wars universe, at least this movie is rooted somewhat in canon.

I like the idea of exploring/expanding the lotr universe. I think there are tons of stories that could be told, similar to how Andor did with star wars. I hope it's good.

Sure there's a LOT of tales in this world that can be explored. Enough that we shouldn't be relying on fanfic like this for the movies. A) I'm just not sure the hunt for Gollum is a compelling story, especially compared to all the others available, and B) I'm not sure Serkis is the right guy to do it.

But Anya Taylor-Joy was born to play an elf.
