I'd rather just bankrupt them. And before someone says "but muh innocents at the company". No. If you work for a woke company, you are complicit.

They should "Go back to the shadow."

These people need to fall into the nothingness that awaits them and their master.

THIS!! all these pseudoactivists are playing both hands here. being r@cist and the preemptively accusing anyone who questions their sayings.

"You keep using that word. I'm not sure it means what you think it means."

​@@Relkond just saw that yesterday with Carry Elwes doing a q/a.

Those people also don't understand "diversity" or "tolerance" even though they throw them around constantly.

That is the entire point of "Anti-Racisim".

Which mean "too many white straight men."

I've seen many Hong Kong, Korean, and Japanese movies in my life. I've never had a problem that there were only Chinese, Korean and Japanese people in them. Any normal person wouldn't, even with fantasy movies. Why do people have an issue with a fantasy movie set in a mythical ancient Britain?

@@Raximus3000 How DARE they have so many caucasian straight men in an medieval western Europe setting, where are the wheelchair cripple, blind, half deaf half African Latino Elves? Damn them and their authentic depiction of people in such a world.

You must be psychic😂

@@fattiger6957 me either, it’s the double standard. “Medieval Europe was always diverse” is the lie they say. Because one or two examples found every other 100 years or so justifies calling Medieval Europe diverse 😂.

Indeed. But we shouldn't expect much insight from the dilweeds who wrote that article, as their interpretation of "diversity" is so painfully superficial.

Yeah, but skin-tone, gender and sexuality are the only kind of diversity that matters to a particularly group of people who have way too much influence over the modern world.

@@fattiger6957 gosh, this annoys me so much, 3 people can grow up in the same neighbourhood and get indoctrinated at the same college, but they are "diverse" because one is a girl, one is brown/black and one is gay. Yet 3 white guys from different parts of the world (Europe, Australia, South Africa) are seen as not diverse because people are racist. SMH.

You don't understand. Three Somalis are more diverse than a Swede, a Pole, and a Greek.

​@@Cyrrex91I think thats what annoy people most about this ideology. It is quite literally skin deep.

Their goal is to gather clicks, not write a factually correct article. So, yes, the strategy is paying off in that regard.

​@@MannyNamiro Blatantly lying hasn't really paid off as a long-term strategy by very powerful and rich established media conglomerates, but I'm sure you're right and it will be (D)ifferent for these small disposable media outlets... 😂

It's a bold stategy. BOLD not bolt

​@@hardlife3844perfidious autocorrect strikes again! 😂

It's a bold strategy, there's fewer endings in the movie than the book.

In the books they were also buried years later alongside Aragon in Minis Tirith if I'm not mistaken. That right there is an awesome honor imo.

Whether they are OK or not they are still taking their own credibility and setting it on fire.

​@@aeroprime3322 They had cred? Where did they get it from and how did they earn it? I think I'm going to press X to doubt..

​@@innocentbystander3317 to be fair they did have cred back in the day when they were just a comic news site. But that was a decade ago, before they went full woke access media shill

@@innocentbystander3317 They have no cred, CBR is slowly becoming the new buzzfeed along with Screenrant and all those other sites that do these lists which honestly are all probably written by AI

Honestly, your use of the word “lunatic” feels perfect. It’s painful to see a deluded writer exposing their terrible taste to the world.

I disagree with the statement that orcs can be even characterised as black. Their features don't particularly resemble any race and many resemble typical evil white men far more.

That's what makes these articles so grating, they don't make sense, but the writers literally don't care to have it make sense. They just wrote it for the clicks, because they have the job to bring traffic to whatever rag they're writing for.

Exactly, heck I was disappointed that we DIDN'T get to see the battle for the Shire etc. Would have been much more satisfying than just having Grima shank Saruman.

@@Greshgore That is the one thing I really missed as well. The Scouring of the Shire was such an important event for Sam, Merry and Pippin as it finished their character arcs. For Merry and Pippin it showed just how much they had grown as individuals and how they were no longer children but men. And it's thanks to Sam's painstaking gardening that the Shire was able to recover as well and as quick as it did. The story even shows just how much the burden of the Ring effected Frodo. But the Scouring was also important for all of Hobbiton as it showed them that they NEEDED to concern themselves with the outside world as the outside world could and likely would affect them.

​@@Nammjahtan They're not Men, they're Hobbits. 😛

@@WJS774 haha you know what I meant :)

Politically correct does not equal quality and I don’t know why these people continue to act like it does.

What part of it did you dislike, aside from minorities in it? I have yet to see a constructive criticism. Just manbabies parroting each other and thinking that if you yell “woke” enough it proves something. I watched it just to see what all the crying was about and while I found it to be a very mixed bag and overall kind of meh, I sure as hell did not see all of the weird takes you hear about from deranged chuds. GRANTED Trying to prop up the inferior show by attacking the Trilogy is pretty fucking sus.

I don't know if you're interested in the facts, but the article makes no defence of Rings of Power. Rings of Power was several years off when this was written, so it makes no qualitative comments; it simply says other adaptations are inevitable (which they are). Shad has inserted Rings of Power into this discussion of a very old article (reformatted, not rewritten in March 2024) because he knows doing so will get views.

​@@jayne775 Doesn't matter a single bit. Half of the points the article brings up are invalid anyway and have zero relation to "aging poorly". Plus they put rings of power under their point about "remakes and reboots" while everyone knew it was gonna be dogcrap from the first trailer they revealed. AND right under that a link to an article called "Everything we know about rings of power season 2" which DOES fit into the "Amazon Is Already Working on New Lord Of The Rings Projects" line. Edit: Not to mention that the article's date is not mentioned anywhere, all it has is "UPDATED MAR 27, 2024" and that very same date also shows when you google the article, so it's easy to confuse it for a new article (which is backed up by the fact that Shad mentions in the video itself that he sees this article as a way to defend rings of power, he simply thought it was fresh) 1.5 years ago the article also had only "10 ways" instead of "15" (because reddit posts mention this article with 10 in the title instead of 15) meaning they added more BS as the time went on, so no, the "update" was not just a "reformat"

@@jayne775 grifters gonna grift. You do not need facts to anger chuds.

What a bait and switch move.. 😂

I'm at 3h11. I have to admit gimli aragorn and legolas have plot armor in the helms deep battle and the movie starts a bit slow. But I still love it because of everything else 😊

Yeah, I was wondering about that as I recall reading that one and saw their coverage of it. I was starting to think this was a reupload.

@@RoseBaggins they added 5 more reasons;P

Agreed. I guess they'll reupload this article with some minor changes every year. That way they can try and influence the younger generations - those who have not seen it yet - into disliking the trilogy more. These woke commies are sick and evil!

The article was last updated several years ago, and reformatted in March 2024. Shad has indeed covered it before. It makes no judgement on Rings of Power - Rings of Power hadn't been released yet. It simply says Rings of Power will exist. Maybe Shad should reboot his content - or maybe he's putting out the most flimsy, no-effort content because he knows pretending someone has defended Rings of Power by attacking Jackson will spark anger and garner views.

of course they reboot it...there are ''news'' pages that i followed to see how crazy they were getting in 2020 and they very often posted the same article after 7 or 8 months since the last time they posted it....making it seem like it happened yesterday each time....i even linked the previous time they posted it often...message taken down lol

​@@EcardEcardian*Solar prominence unfiltered with magnification for the same duration

Over the years, he has been proven right about the amount of marxist/communist push in media and more.

I think their gripe is that all the races are played by white actors. If the critics were actually fans of LotR they would realize that multiple races are represented in the story. smh

Apologies, I should have said Ben-Hur.

It was a silly character to even include in the books.

Fact is that even Christopher Lee himself said it was sad, but very understandable why Bombadil was left out.

@tmdelacrush why it’s there is pretty simple. It’s a breather after all the “yikes” stuff that the Hobbits just went through and establishes that there are some things in the world that are just plain weird. However, it’s also pretty easy to cut out if you also cut out the barrow-wight scene.

Understandable, yes, also inexcusable if you treat the movies as adaptation. I think of them as a fanfiction so I can enjoy the movies without thinking how they butchered a lot of what the books were about

​@@alexmashkin863 You seem to be having trouble with the word "adaptation". It doesn't mean every word of the book is on the screen as that's an insanely high standard.

WB still hates money and has not re-released LOTR, they would completely dominate anything this year

I don't even consider the Stallone version to be a Judge Dred movie. He took his damn helmet off... To bad the Karl Urban version hasn't gotten more love or another movie... damn shame.

Urban's Dredd is awesome BUT... it's a rip off from Garet Evans' The Raid movie which is also a very cool Oriental martial arts movie with Iko Uwais as the lead actor, it is why the guy has become somehow known in hollywood.

@@egillskallagrimson5879 You think Garet was the first to have a building with enemies to get thru each floor? Also there were very similar storylines in the comics which predate the Raid by decades.

I think you're right about it being a great film but didn't successfully 'reboot' the franchise- the most successful thing I can think of is maybe Dr. Who. I think Joker was very good and a real 'reboot' so to speak. I think a reboot is distinguishable from a 'remake' such as titanic for example. Readaptations I think maybe also should be considered as slightly different, too. I'd consider the new terminator and prometheus films reboots even if they aren't remakes.

@@mandowarrior123 Dr Who fell off a cliff and Joker wasn't a reboot. It's just an elseworlds universe not connected to either the Batman Universe or main DC universe. So what is it rebooting?

My wife and I showed it to our two oldest this past December and after fellowship we looked at each other and said, “they don’t make movies like that anymore.”

I'm still critical of some choices by PJ (e.g. don't tell me Faramir didn't get character assassinated in the movie) because things like that are based on logical analysis of facts and comparison to the source material rather than time that has passed. And those choices might have foreshadowed that lore travesty and clown sh!tshow we got in The Hobbit. But all its flaws aside, one would be extremely dishonest to claim that LotR wasn't an epic and captivating trilogy of a quality unimaginable from Hollywood these days, or that it didn't do justice to Tolkien. It was the best movie trilogy ever made when it came out, and it still is.

the moment they reach Bree i was like ''whoa.....thats a huge skip....but i get it the normies would literally stay stuck on Bombadil and not pay attention the rest of the movie''....well obviously back then i didnt say normies but you get the idea

And don't forget the Dwarfs representing the industrious side of humanity, manufacturing (forging), harvesting earth's resources (mining), building up infrastructure (the dwarven halls) and pursuing wealth for its own sake (hoarding gold and gems).

​@tmdelacrush Ngl, I was surprised to see someone correct that lmao

Don't forget Merry insisting to get to help in the war & ending up saving Éowyn, and Pippin offering to serve Denethor to show gratefulness for Boromir's sacrifice & ending up saving Faramir. Who end up together, strenghtening the alliance between Gondor & Rohan.

They did it with rings of crap. How dare they even associate it with LoTR. Galadriel never wielded a sword.

One of my favorite movies.

What about the 1982 version of The Thing vs the 1950s version?

@@trfinley7076 My gosh, I don't remember a 1950's version. I'm going to have to see that ASAP. But you can never go wrong with the Kurt Russell version, he's awesome and so is the movie.

The reboot of 13 ghosts is not a great movie, but it blows the previous one away simply by being able to realize the ghosts with technology.

uh Dune anyone?

Hobbit movies were a mess because of studio interference and because they brought Jackson in last minute when the original director bailed. I think if they would of gave Jackson more control he could of done them much better with more filler taken out. Watch the fan cut of the triology it's actually pretty good. It cuts out the needless filler that goes on way too long.

@@bradmiles1984 Yup, if they'd hired Jackson from the start I would expect the Hobbit movies to be better.

@@bradmiles1984 And that must have burnt out Jackson so much since he stopped making movies afterwards (other than documentaries)

@@fattiger6957 Yeah I think all the meddling like forcing it to be 3 movies over 2 really took a toll on him. I genuinely think he tried his best but just got pushed into things. There are very well done parts in the movies it's the filler and forced comedy that ruins it.

You have to remember how stupid and lacking in reflection these "journos" are. They need everything to be spoon-fed to them. Hate them not, for they are to be pitied.

I saw him back in his costume and I was like did they repload an old video? I would like to see Oz back.

Team Oz for the win!

It's an old video I think. I'n not sure though

I think Oz is kind of half here, half not. I believe he's something akin to a recurring guest

@@g.t.werber4476 I don't think so I looked back and now he's been in most of the videos for the last month. Seems like he's back full time. Seems like Tyrenth is sticking more to the build and testing & they brought Oz back to do the stuff at the table for media/culture stuff. Ty always seemed like he never enjoyed doing that stuff. He was always much more high energy and excited doing the physical stuff.

I would love to see the Amber series But I get a real sinking feeling when I think of the stories being in the hands of the modern day 'entertainers'.

There is an older animated version of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I still haven't watched it, but it's on my list.

Tokien was a wise man ;-)

He literally gave the Hobbits the Daggers of Westernesse

@@Mare_Man they weren’t terribly important to the plot other than in the fight against the witch king and could easily be replaced by other weapons /sources without needing all that time. Could each movie be stretched out to 4+ hours, sure, but it likely would have taken away half of the audience of the films if it became that much of a time commitment. I still think this was an easily justified cut.

All kind of fiction, particularly adventure stories, give their heroes plot armor. It's a conceit as old as fiction.

@@fattiger6957 Exactly.

GoT was a crazy exemption regarding plot armor.

@@engineerdeluxe Yeah, but George RR Martin was going for a hard deconstruction of fantasy stories. Basically presenting a fantasy plot, but having the people within be as brutal and cruel as the really were in the timeframe it was inspired by.

Ah yeah, Korra was definitely on the leading edge of the "put a chick in it and make it gay and lame" about a decade before it became cool to do.

@@funkydiscogod I think Korra started off well, but then they made her suddenly decide to be a lesbian (when she showed no inclination that way and had a boyfriend in earlier seasons)

@@fattiger6957 Telltale signs were there when you consider that it took a lot for Aang and others to learn their elements with Toph having to practice with the giant mole badgers, and Korra just learns and uses three masterfully well when she's even younger than them.
