Something closer to reasonable from a more conservative approach: No, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power isn't woke (msn.com)
I don't wade in to politics because online politics is frustratingly simplified, but I grow tired of "right wing people hate diversity" screed and the battling over the term "woke". So, imagine my surprise when this article pops in to my news feed and I go, yeah, I might not agree with all of it but certainly Rings of Power does nothing that offends any of my current sensibilities, political or otherwise. As the author of the article notes, "there are plenty of cultural hills to die on. This is not one of them."
I didn't know they toured Middle-Earth.
They didn't before, but Earth Wind and Fire really opened the market up.
Reason #49,342 why we all love Neil Gaiman.

Then this happened:
Of all the deranged fandoms in the world, Musk fanboys are by far the worst. That's why I kind of freaked out when Musk wrote what he wrote.
That's a first, Gaiman suggesting people shouldn't watch Sandman. 
I sometimes start thinking of all the peoples that aren't represented by fantasy genetics. Truth is I think everyone notices even if they think it's a good thing.
I had the same thought when I saw the reference to Discovery.
Legolas also shot arrows while surfing down stairs on an Uruk-Hai shield and slid down an olyphant's trunk in the LOTR movies, so him doing ridiculous shit started even before The Hobbit movies.
How was that even filmed... CG Legolas? Best stunt man ever?Always liked this one:
If I remember the special features correctly, it's the real Orlando Bloom spinning round, then a digital double, as the filmmakers called them, grabbing the horse and swinging up onto it. It's also likely there's compositing involved, merging a shot of Orlando with the charging horses. They pulled off some seriously impressive stuff that still hold up pretty well, though I do personally find Super Action Legolas, especially the one-elf oliphaunt takedown, a little much. Felt like those moments belonged in another movie, possibly one directed by Michael Bay.
Is there a spoiler thread for this?
So, Legolas is not a Gary Stu?
I forgot to mention, but I felt like there was a good chance that the giant eagle getting totally murderized front-and-center at the very beginning of the first big battle scene in the backstory montage in the first episode was a reference to this meme. "There, that's why the eagles aren't doing everything by themselves!"
You can thank Aragorn for the Grateful Dead.
Yeah, that was indeed an eagle getting thrown-down by a worm / dragon, and then bursting into flame as it impacts the ground, smashing into the armies of elves and orcs battling.
The Battle of Unnumbered [eagle] Tears…
The Battle of Unnumbered [eagle] Tears…
I started watching an interesting video regarding the failure of humor in the MCU's recent films. All of the sudden the dude started going on a rant about how Hulk was turned into a joke to make way for She-Hulk, because Marvel just cares about being woke now, and I felt like I just touched algorithm kryptonite.
