The New Tolkien “Rings of Power” Show Promises to be a Woke Mess That’s All About “Representation” Rather than Good and Evil.

Is anyone surprised? This is what I expected when the project was first announced.

The New Lord of the Rings Show on Amazon is said to be the most expensive show ever. One thing they’re leaving out is Tolkien. Yup. This is all about diversity, representation, and wokeness.

Fidelity to Tolkien’s vision is not even on the radar of the people making this show. This will be a Game of Thrones ripoff filled with political skullduggery and strategizing. What it will not be is a representation of good vs. evil and bravery vs cowardice.

This whole thing is sad. We all know it. I just hope it dies a quick death.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
